while Massachusetts comes next, with

mile. New Jersey. with little more
than $50 inhabitants to the square
mile, is the third state in point Of den-
sity Of population, while Connecticut,

tants to the square mile, occupies
fourth place. -Four other states had

BELICOSE SENATORS
ASKED TO RECONSIDER

Columbia, s. O., June 1.-Governor
McSweeney has rejected the resigna-
tions of Senators Tillman and McIau-
rim, to give them time to reconsider
their action.
In returning the designations Cover
nor McSweeney, in part, writes:
II respectfully return your resigna-
tions, that you may have time for Sc
rious consideration of the effect upon
the people OF this state Of this action
on your part. The commission which
you hold is the highest compliment
and testimonial which the people of
this state can pay to one Of its citi-
zens. 1t is possible that you have
taken this step hastily, in the heat of
debate, and without due reflection on
the consequences to the people who
have 80 signally honored you.
ut was only last year that our peO-
pie had the excitement and turmoil H.
cident to campaign. and In another
year we will be in the midst OF fur
ther political strife. The people are
entitled to one year Of peace and free
dom from political battles and bitter
ness. The indications are that n CAM
paign such us would be precipitated
by vacancies in these two exalted po-
sitions would be a very acrimonious
one, and personal. rather than dis
cussion of issues, and from such n
canvass our people should be spared.
In fact, 1t would be calamity to the
state to be torn nsunder by n heated
canvass In this off year in politics.
There can be no possible good to come
Of 1t.
Holding these views and looking to
the interests Of the people OF 1nis
state-thefr peace, prosperity, and hap
piness, l respectfully decline to accept
your designations and beg to return
them herewith"

vast commercial interests, were the

The American guests Of the King
were the delegates Of tie New York

arranged by the London Chamber Of
Commerce, the president OF which,
Lord Brassey, accompanied the Amer
lean party. The visitors were greatly
impressed and pleased by their audi
ence Of the King, who was Just as in
terested at meeting them as they were
at meeting him.
The King had expressed considera-
bic curiosity to see what manner of
men these multi-millionaires might be,
especially Meesrs. Morgan and Carne-
gle. As regards the latter, the King

Their curiosity was not unmixed with
awe.
One Of the high officers of the house.
hold confessed that an inspection OF
ekhe list of visitors made them tremble
lest Mr.. Morgan or one of the other
millionaires should take q fancy to
Windsor and buy 1t.
Apart from this personal point of
view, Lord Pelham Clinton, master Of
the household, said the King regarded
the presence in England of such a rep
resentative body Of American business
men as highly significant Of the close
and friendly relations existing between
the two countries, and in furtherance
OF that feeling he was delighted to
welcome them to his castle and make
their acquaintance
After an inspection of the grounds.
the delegates were taken to the east
terrace, where they were received by
the King. They were surprised to find
that the Queen was also present, for
her appearance was quite unexpected.
With the King and Queen were the
Princess Victoria and the children of
the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York. Each delegate was formal
ly presented to both the King and
Queen, shaking their hands.
This ceremony over, the King asked
