ARMY TRANSPORT SUNK
Fire on the Rawlins Pumped Full of
Water, Which Sinks Her

New York, April 1O-The United
States transport Rawlins which was to
sail at 2 o'clock this afternoon for Ha-
vana, Matanzas and Cienfuegos, is w.
ing with her saloon deck awash in thir-
ty feet of water, to the south of the
army pier at the foot of Pacific street,
Brooklyn.
Fire was discovered aft of her main
engine room early this morning. Two
alarms brought to the pier six engines,
two trucks and three fire boats, and
at $3.50 o'clock so MANY thousands Of
gallons of water had been pumped into
the transports hold that she keeled
over and. with water rushing IN
through her open ports, settled slowly
until her keel touched bottom.
The property loss will not e~"""7
$4,000. 1t will cost perhaps 600 600
more to pump her out and raise her.
The RawlinS was being loaded with a
miscellaneous cargo, consisting for the
most part of horsefeed for army use.
Apparently the blaze had been smould-
ering all night, for the first warning
was puff of black smoke from one of
the after hatchways.
There was no confusion. After an
alarm had been turned in the crew set
to work to fight the fire, but they were
handicapped by the fact that one of
the ships pumps was being repaired. A
stream from the donkey engine pump
was directed against the blaze, but the
decks became so hot that all hands
were driven to the pier. When the fire
men arrived and commenced pouring
water into the hold the crew climbed
back and stripped the ship of her
chronometerS, SeXtent, Silverware and
other valuable articles.

beautiful compliment to the old

age, his days Of activity have pass

George Johnstope for Hampton.

The first response from a candl,
date for tho senate TO the nomina
tion Of Wade Hampton as tn.
successor of John l.. McLaurir
reached The State last evening.
and is as follows:
TO the Editor of The State.
Dear Sir: Having seen the
suggestion of the STATE chairman
N your paper this morning in re-
gard t" the approaching vacancy
In the United States senate, I de-
sire to say that my purpose in
attending the meetings to which
have been invited was primarily
to do what | could to keep good
men from being led out of the
Democratic party, and to forever
bury factional discerd in this
State. Now, if both can he &C
complished by the unanimous con
sent to return Gen. Hampton to
his seat in the senate, will cheer-
fully lay aside any ambition that
| may have had to fill that posi-
tion in furtherance of all these
good ends. Very truly,
George Johnstone.

Latimer Indignant at the Willie
Jones Proposition.
Special to Greenville News.


Washington, Oct. S.-Latimer
is here and is most indignant at
the Willie Jones proposition. Hs
will not say SO, but he fears
treachery at Tiilman's hands. He
says it is all right for Jones. who
has a $4,000 job, but for the
others its quite another question.
There Is no doubt as to the fol.
lowing being facts:
1t seems that two years ago
TiIlman in conference with Lati-
mer and others, decided that Nc
Laurin must be beaten. Tillman
told Latimer he was the nan, to
which Latimer demurred, but
finally consented if Tillman would
back him. Then Tillman promised
ot do So
Late in the game, some time
after the Gatfney meeting Jones
comes into the race. Knowing
the close intimacy between Jones
and Tillman, Latimer cornered
him, and finally Tillman told
Latimer that if Jones ran he
would have to he hands off. Till
man will never back Jones. He
knows too much about various
and sur dry checks. Now to set
tie the row between Jones and
Latimer the Hampton incident is
arranged with those who have
most influence with General
Hampton. That puts the whole
business out of the game.

Loved by the Veterans and the

dorses the Jones Plan.

To the Editor of Tho State
| have read with n great deal of
pleasure Col. Jones suggestion,
and your able editorial endorsing
The same In yesterdays State, and
| desire to most heartily approve
them both, and urge the accep.
tance of the suggestion.
The people of South Carolina
owe to Wade Hampton a debt
which they should not he slow to
pay. True, we have honored him
a great dea! in the past, but, no
doubt, the old veteran recollects
and feels very keenly his defeat of
a few years ago-and | can imag-
lne nothing m"re graceful than
for the people of the State to rise
en- masse and let ,hs grand old
man know that he still occupies a
big place in their hearts. And |
believe that they will do if given
the opportunity. In fact, | be-
lieve that they will, with little
encouragement. make the oppor-
tunity. / believe that if Wade
Hampton will only signify his will
llngness to accept the position the
people will elect him no matter
who may oppose him. l believe
that our people stand ready to
again take mp the cry of CLAMP
ton and Democracy" and make
the same fight which they made In
'76.
1t goes without saying that the
men who followed Hampton in the
COS love him, and are ready to
follow him again, but as a son of
the Confederacy want to say that
L believe that we love him az much
as the old veterans and that we
are ready to fellow him to victory.
Why not let the people of the
State throw aside factienalism and
prejudice and demand tho election
Of Wade Hampton to the Senate =?
Surely we could not better honor
ourselves than by honoring the
grand old man, who has done his
duty when and wherever called
upon, and who still has the cour-
age in his old age to stand up for
democracy in the face of great
temptation.
trust that the people of the
State will not consider it immod-
est in me to state that | have been
urged by friends to make the race
for the United States Senate, and
that | have had the matter under

attended the meetings and have
not been as prominently before
