POLITICAL MESS
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Tillman Declares McSweeney
Favors McLaurin.
GOVERNOR IS ARRAIGNED

Attorney General Bel11nger Declares
Chief Executive Acted Without His
Advice and Overstepped the Bounds
of His sAuthority-HotR Roast.
COLUMBIA, S. O., June 7.-Senator
Tlllman does not take kindly to McLau-
rims proposition for an unconditional
resignation. He was called on at Rock
Hill yesterday and shown the junior
senator's challenge which provided if
Tillman would Internationally resign
McLaurin would step out in the same
manner and contest for his seat.
Tillman said that he did not feel that
he should make reply to the challenge
in that shape. It came through an in
tervlew, and was too roundabout to suit
him. He considered it puerile His
resignation had been unqualified and
unconditional.
81 forced McLaurin to jump over
board with me, believing that could
make land and he could not, but my
calculation did not take in the appear
ance of Governor McSweeney, who
threw him a line and hauled him
ashore"
The rescue, said Tillman, had been
arranged between mutual friends of
McLaurin and McSweeney.
Senator Tillman exhibited a letter
from Congressman CASTOR of Pennsyl-
vania, imploring him not to insist Oh re-
signing, as his services were needed in
the senate and he feared the flood Of
corruption money would be poured into
the state and sweep away the Demo-
cratic majority. Iillman, remarking
that circumstantial evidence was often
most damning, said he felt certain the
fears of CASTOR were we'll founded.
Asked if he believed McLaurin would
take the initiative in resigning, so that
Tillman could follow suit, he laughed
derisively, saying, after having turned
tail'' as he had done, that would be
boys play.

RECEIVED BY LORD MAYOR

and Unity Between Two Greatest
Nations of the World-No Jealous
Rivalry.
LONDON, June THE lord mayor,
Frank Green, and the sheriffs received
the delegates of the New York chamber
of commerce at the Mansion house to-
day. About 30 of the delegates were
presented to the lord mayor and were
shown over the Mansion house. A mum.
ber of the mem mbers of the London cham.
ber of commerce, including Lord Brassey
and Sir Albert K. Rollit, were present
The lord mayor addressed the Ameri-
cans, thanking them in the warmest
terms for their visit and declaring that
nothing could have done more to pro-
mote a perfect understanding and unity
between the two greatest nations of the
world. He alluded to Morris K. Jes-
sup's reference, in his speech at the ban.
quet on Wednesday, to the impossibiIty
of jealous rivalry existing between the
United States and Great Britain as one
Of the truest things ever said.
Lord Brassey spoke in a similar strain.
Mr. Jessup, in replying, said:
Their Hearts Captivated.
"Your kindness has captivated our
hearts. We are not worthy of it.
Loud cries of ''No!' in which some of
the Americans joined, followed Mr..
Jessup's remarks.
Mr.. Jessup then referred to his fellow
delegates as children of the great
country" and concluded with express
sions Of fervent thanks for their recep-
tion.
The lord mayor proposed the healths
of King Edward and President McKtn-
ley, coupling with the latter heartfelt
wish for Mrs. McKinley's recovery.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie was the center
of attraction throughout. After the
ceremonies, the lord mayor went up to
him and said he especially wanted to
shake hands with Mr.. Carnegie, who
said:
Sin New York, in my young and poor
days, when read about Dick Whiting
ton, little thought should stand here
shaking the lord mayors hand.
The lord mayor replied:
"We read nothing else today but of
Mr.. Carnegie's splendid gifts, and, in
the name of the English people, want
to thank you for your unexampled gen.
erosity."
The delegates were then entertained
at an informal luncheon in Salters' hall
by the London chamber of commerce.

REPORT OF COMMIssARY

The Full Army Ratio6 a Necessity
For American Soldiers In That CIi-
mate-Appetite Graves Sweets and
Acids-Demand For Sauerkraut.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Major G. W.
Ruthers, chief commissary of the de-
partment Of Northern Luzon, in letter
to Commissary General Weston, dated
April 15, says there are 338 stations in
that department, with about $4,000
troops Besides the troops, at that time
several thousand prisoners were being
fed by the government. The subsist-
ence department., he says, is in superb
condition.
Major RuUhers devotes considerable
space in his letter to the subject of beef
supply. For the most part, the meat
ration served the troops is refrigerated
or frozen beef, although in some of the
interior points, where there is neither
rail- nor water transportation, the sup.
ply is necessarily curtailed. He had
sent beef 80 miles into the interior with
bull carts. This beef was transported
through country infested with La
drones and small bands of insurgents,
yet the cart drivers and supplies were
not molested. He says they must have
paid toll to the tribal chiefs, for had the
supplies been accompanied by escorts
there would have been daily ambush.
Frozen Fresh Beef.
He says there is need of more water
transportation, and if he had it he
would use frozen beef, as the influence
on the sick report is quite marked. The
more fresh beef used the better
the health of the troops. The ma
tive beef, from which the animal heat
has not entirely departed. is not healthy.
Major Ruthers says for some time he
used the English army ration-beef
stew and potatoes, in 2-pound cans-but
1t does not compare to the beef stew
issue of the United States army rations.
He also says that the standard emergen-
cy ration has given very good satisfac-
tiOn. At the same time, he adds:
ga ration of beef stew and vegeta.
bles, pound of hard bread in tin and
tablet of chocolate, [ would put against
any so-called emergency rations ever
manufactured, and it would not cause
intestinal irritation, of which some COM
plant is made. -
