serieant Jaspeg's Flag.

An effort is being made by the
South Carolina Daughters of the
Revolution to have the flag of Ser
geant Jasper, which is now in the
Tower OF London, returned to the
State. This is not the flag that made
him famous at Fort Moultrie, but
was one given the Second South Car
olina by Miss Elliott, which he lost
his life in defending at Savannah,
Co., in 1779.

pointments in the State be sought to
have Democrats appointed, and where
this could not be accomplished be
tried to have such Republicans Sc
lected as would give satisfaction to
the people. He did not want the
crime of burning postmaster re-
peated in his State.
Mr.. McLaurin said the movement
against him in the Democratic party
was to keep alive sectionalism. Speak
ing of his views on the tariff, he said
that Samuel J. Randall was pro-
tectionist: Hancock said the tariff
was local issue, and David B. HILL
opposed the income tax, but none OF
them had been read out of the Dem
ocratic party.
Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, denied
some of the statements made by
Mr.. McLsurip, especially so far as
they indicated that he (Jones) had
any ulterior motives in the action he
took regarding Mr.. McLaurin's con-
nection with the Democratic party.
Mr.. Tillman replied to MIR. Nc
Laurin, denying there was con-
spiracy against him. Mr.. Tillman
referred to the designations OF the
Senators Of South Carolina and their
subsequent Withdrawals.
Mr.. Hoar referred to this fact and
said be did not understand how res
iguations could be withdrawn.
Mr.. Tillman said he would be glad
to have the judiciary committee in
vestigate the matter and the Senate
declare both seats from Soth Carolina
vacant $50 that We could wash our
dirty linen elsewhere
Mr.. Tillman Immediately offered to
sign with Mr.. McLaurin resigna-
ton and send it to "that map, point
ing to President Pro Tenn. Frye, land
that would settle it." MIR. Tillman
said he did not want the vote OF
South Carolina divided and would
be willing to 60 before the people
with McLaurin on his new tangled
issues"
Mr.. Hoar again asserted that upon
the statement of the Senators from
South Carolina be did not believe
that either of them were entitled to
seats on the floor.
Mr.. Tillman said he was glad to
find his own opinion backed up by
the distinguished chairman of the
Judiciary committee. He did not be-
lieve the Governor had anything to
do with the matter and could not re-
fuse to accept designations. He
thought the committee on privileges
and elections should inquire into the
whole case.
At this point Mr.. Lodge, Of Mas
sachusetts. secured recognition and
said: "While these designations are
preparing I move the Senate to pro-
ceed to the consideration of execu-
tive business, and the motion was
carried amidst of a laugh at the ex-
pense of the South Carolina Senators.

SOON TO TEST SPEED.
Hattleship Illinois Expected to Prove
Herself n Fast Ship Next
Month.

About February Is the battleship Il
linois. which is nearing completion at
the Newport News shipyards, will be
ready for its builders trial. This trial
has been postponed because of the de-
lay in furnishing the armor plate for
the ship. Much interest is manifested
in the trial Of the Illinois, as il is eX-
pected that this magnificent fighting
machine will exceed the speed record
of the Kearsarge and Kentucky, which
are the sisters of the Illinois.
No commander has been selected for
this ship. although it was believed that
Capt. Robley ID. Evans would he its first
commander. 1t is more likely, however,
that Capt. Evans will succeed Rear Ad-
miral Schley in command of the South
Atlantic squadron.
Rear Admiral Schey will be detached
from his present command in a short
time in anticipation OF his retirement
in October. Capt. Evans is well up in
his grade and will become rear ad-
miral in short time. With this adj
vanced rank he would be entitled to a
more important command than that of
a single vessel, although no officer in
the navy would be averse to accepting
the command of a ship like the Illi-

FROM BATHTUB TO FIRE.
Newark IN. J) Truck Driver NegIects
His Toilet and Rusbes to
Blaze,

Herman Hanke, the driver of truck
No. 4, Newark, N. j., distinguished
himself the other day by driving his
apparatus to fire attired in nothing
but rubber coat. He was taking a
bath on the upper floor of the truck
house when the gong changed for
fire. The horses ran to the pole, the
men took their places and Hanke shot
down the brass pole absolutely naked
and leaped to his seat. As he did so
he slipped on his rubber coat. Within
two minutes the drivers hair was
frozen stiff; he had never even wait
ed~to put on cap. The water on his
legs froze, but with one bare foot
upon the gong and the other upon the
brake he sent his horses flying down
the street.
The fire was soon out and Hanke
was supplied with a pair of rubber
boots and couple of coats, one of
which was wrapped about his legs,
and thus drove his truck back to the
house. When the house was reached
Hanke resumed his bath

An OIL Tax.

The Derrick says that a bill has been
introduced in the West Virginia legis.
lature to tax all the Oil produced in the
State one cent a barrel and the natural
gas lhrae-fifths Of cent per thousand
feet. Taxation Of this kind is univer-
sally condemned by our best statesmen
and political economists. There isn't
the slightest excuse for it. If This in
iquitiOus piece of legislation becomes
a law in West Virginia it will prove a
death blow at the States most flourish
ing industry. The producers are al
ready taxed on their property of every
kind, and a special tax of this charac-
ter means simply the addition Of an
other burden. No self-resDecting
member of the Legislature would dare
to get up in the General Assembly and
propose to tax the farmers one cent a
bushel for every bushel of wheat they
produced, or the coal miners one cent
a bushel on every bushel of coal mined
in the State. Special taxation OF this
kind is wrong in principle, wrong in
practice and never fails TO produce dis
a5trous results. 1t is to be hoped that
the majority of the Legislators of West
Virginia will be sensible enough to
check any further attempts at spolia
tin of this character. Nothing would
operate more successfully in checking
the output of petroleum in ~the State
than tax of this kind

The British admiralty has decided to
build two battleships which are intend
ed to be the largest in the world. The
distinction Of having the largest war.
ships has hitherto been held by Italy,
with the Lepant and the companion
ship the Italia. Great Britain's two
projected large warships, to be, re-
spectively. named the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, will be 1000 tons
heavier than the Italian ships mem
toned. reaching the enormous dis
placement of $4,000 tons, which is $500
heavier than Americas biggest armor-
clad vessel.
These tremendous British wells will
carry nothing larger han 12-inch guns.
Their batteries will chiefly be composed
of these guns and Of 7.5-inch aud six
inch guns. The determination to in
crease he bulk Of the battleships was
only arrived at after much discussion,
for since the days of the Royal Sover-
eign, of 14.150 tons, the admiralty has
been inclined 10 favor battleships OF
smaller displacement. of which the
Canopus, of 1e,95O tons, is the best
type.
In the meanwhile, Russia, France,
the United States and Japan have all
been increasing their displacements,

Mr.. Latlmer Makes a Fortune.

Washington, May Representative
Latimer, who has been here on strictly
business mission, loft for home last
night happier anda far moro pros
porous man than ho was ton days ago.
| have it upon excellent authority that
MIR. Latimor has just concluded n deal
in copper mining stock in Mexico which
Noted him something over 100000.
This sounds almost too startling to bc
true, and MIR. Latimer discrectiy declined
to confirm or deny the statement when
spoken to on the subject. He admitted
that he was here on purely private bust
ness and refused to discuss local or,
national politics. lilo said that he was
Interested largely in some mining stock
in Mexico. But to what extent he pre-
served absolute silence.
1t is known that immc mcdiatoly after tho
adjournment of Congress Mr.. Latimcr
lett washington on secret pilgrimage
to hlexico, whore, with some experts,
and fow confidential friends, ho made
personal examination of certain copper
MINES i'll that country. Upon his return
ho went to New York, established buSi-
ness relations with anumber of promi-
nent men conspicuous in financial as
well as national affairs, and am told
that negotiations were carried on with
his characteristic prudent but ''gct
obSiO StylC, WlllCu IcSllltCu 10 his CnUlfC
satisfaction. No ono who has followed
Mr.. Latiiner's career in Congress closely
will doubt his thrift and enterpriZc
when confronted by practical business
proposition. IIe has made many valu-
able friends and business connections
through his connection with national
affairs, and his membership on tho com
mite of tho District of Columbia has
brought him in contact and friendly
association with some of the most pros
porous and successful business men who
make Washington their home during tho
winter.
AT the present rate Mr.. Latimcr ought
to be well equipped to start in the Scna-
torlal race against Senator McI.aurin,
and few more deals of similar nature
in mining stocks should render him
fully eligible for membership in the
NlilliOnaircs' Club, constitutionally
known as the United States Senate. II
is understood that several members OF
the, Senate and members of the House
and other national officials here and in
New York have bought largely of the
Mexican mining stock in which Mr..
l.atimcr is such a large holder and the
transaction has been conducted on a
thoroughly legitimate and Lusincss-likc
basis. 1t is said that tho investment is
substantial and dividend paying in it's
character and in no way partakcs of the
speculative fever which now seems to be
rampant throughout tho entire country
