M'LAURIN AT NORFOLK.
He Has Few Words to Say Anent
Shipping and His Candidacy.

Norfolk, Va, Aug Ex-senator Nc
Laurin of South Carolina passed
through Norfolk to-day with his wife
and child en- route to the Pan-American
Exposition. He talked with several of
the Democratic leaders here for the
state convention which will discuss the
general primary plan of electing sena-
tors. To the Associated Press repre-
sentative he made the following state
ment:
For many years the campaigns in
South Carolina have been in the na-
ture of personal abuse between candi-
dates.c The present campaign Is the
first one in which an issue is at stake.
My series of speeches, which were be-
gun last April, have started the peo-
pie to thinking, and they have become
aroused. Senator Tillman has answered
my arguments by heaping personal
abuse upon me. He threatened to go out
among the mill operators and arouse
them against the mill owners If l con-
tinued urging the expansion policy
and the carrying of American products
in American bottoms. Expansion is
not Imperialism; the first is a business
question, the other a matter of poll
tics. 1t is foolishness for anybody to
claim that a man cannot believe in
ship subsidy, the carrying of exports
in American bottoms, and expansion
without being a Republican, / am GO

lima next fall and l expect to defeat

Mr.. HACKETTIS MUM
HE FINDS 1T NECESSARY TO ISSUE
A STATEMENT.
PRESS REPORTERS TOO BUSY.
THEY MAKE HIS TEMPORARY Of
FICIAL LIFE STRENUOUS.

Therefore II Is Incumbent Upon Him
to Publish a Statement with N
View TO quitting an End to Daily
Inquiries" on Subjects Pertinent
to the Conduct of the schley-
Sampson Court of Inquiry, Then
He Again Rctires to His Shell.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Acting Secre-
tary Hackett of the Navy Department
gave out statement to-day in nregard to
the witnesses to be summoned before
the Schley court of inquiry. 1t is as
follows:
There have been numerous inquiries
by the gentlemen of the press as to
who are to be the witnesses before the
Schley court of inquiry. 1 recognize
the intense public interest that attends
the convening of this court. 1 also take
into account and respect the profess
sional zeal of the press; and the earn
est desire of each gentleman to obtain
early and full information for his par
ticular newspaper.
1T has been found necessary, how
ever, to say something to put an end
to daily inquiries on the subject. This
is done with no purpose or desire to
keep anything from the public.
THE court will convene on Sept. IL.
What witnesses will be brought be-
fore the court in behalf of Admiral
Schley is for the Admiral himself to
decide. No one can possibly know
what witnesses the court is going to
summon before them.
THE judge advocate of the court on
the 29th of July addressed a letter to
Admiral Schley requesting the Admiral
to communicate with him in regard to
the witnesses if any of them were To-
Gated at a distance from Washington,
whom he might wish to have appear
before the court. This was done be-
cause it was taken for granted that
most of them were officers of the navy.
1t was highly important that they
should be within reach when wanted to
testify.
Admiral Schley responded with a
partial list of those whom he thought
he would be likely to want present,
stating that there would doubtless be
others. He was told that he would
have a right to call others as wit
nesses; and also informed that some
OF the persons named Dy MIN mlgnL
possibly be called by the Judge advo-
| cate.
"The whole thing is in the prelimi-
nary stage, to see to it that officers of
the navy who are cognizant of the
facts involved will be where they can
he reached in season to attend as wit
nesses If needed"
Beyond this statement Mr.. Hackett
declined to answer specific questions
- Nta.Yl Yl-.w. H.
as to whether Admiral Sampson was
on the list prepared by the judge advo-
cate of the court, and he further an
nounced that hereafter he would de-
cline all inquiries regarding matters
relating to the Schley court.

ANOTHER INQUIRY.
Capt. Vredenburgh's Examination
Was Long and Rigid.

New York, Aug. 13.-Justice Jerome
and officials attached to the district
attorneys office held another judicial
inquiry to-day concerning the charges
that police officials have been accepting
bribes from keepers of Illegal resorts.
Some twenty persons had been sum-
moned to give testimony, among them
Capt Watson A. Vredenburgh of the
Oak street police station.
Capt. Vredenburgh's examination
lasted during the afternoon and was
adjourned and taken up several times.
Once he left the building in company
with Assistant District Attorney Gar
van.
They came back in a few minutes
bringing with them Peter De Lacey.
proprietor, and three assistants of an
alleged pool room in Park Row which
Frank Moss alleges was tipped off by
Capt Vredenburgh, Friday night,
when the trap which has caused such
a sensation, was sprung.
When the session adjourned Justice
Jerome was asked If anything had de-
veloped so far which led to the dis
credit of Whitney's testimony, or it's
corroboration. He said:
80 far, nothing has been adduced
which causes us to doubt Whitney's
statement. Where the testimony of 9TH
er witnesses touched upon the same
subjects, il is corroborated. and in no
case has his story been diverged from"

ARBITRATOR HOLLIS TALKS.
Gives His Impressions Upon Weighty
international Questions.

London, Aug. 13-Frederick w.
Hollis, United States member of the
International Court of Arbitration at
The Hague, who is in London, talk
ing of his impressions of the relations
between the European. Powers and
America, said:
mo European people wants any war
any more than the Americans. Not
withstanding all appearances to the
contrary, public opinion is to-day the
greatest European Power OF course it
would be folloy to say there is no
longer danger of war, for popular ex-
eitement in any one quarter may up
set all calculations. Still the existence
of a permanent tribunal to beside in
ternational disputes, the we'll recog-
nized economic break down which war
now means for all belligerents, the les
sons of the Boer war and the frightful
fiasco in China, all these elements of
the situation are working powerfully
for peace.
The present feeling in Europe re-
garding the United States cannot be
characterized in one phrase. That it is
not everywhere friendly, must, l fear,
be admitted. But, this is not strange.
The strength and prosperity of the
great peaceful, 'unmilitary republic is
not pleasing to it's opponents and
critics of our institutions. There is
natural jealousy in commercial and in
dustrial circles of our economic pro-
gress. But 1 believe it is a long way
from commercial jealousy and the ex-
cited articles in the press about the
American danger to political or even
economic hostility. The talk about
combination of the European Powers
against the United States fanciful and
impracticable. l feel confident of one
thing-whatever may be the attitude of
particular governments or classes, the
mass of the common people in Europe.
not only in England, but on the con-
tinent, the masses are suffering from
various domestic causes. They regard
us as ever their best friends.
"Our claim to control and own abso-
lutely and conclusively any and all
isthmian canals is cordially recognized
not only on the continent, but by most
authorities and organs of public. opin-
ion in Great Britain. With skillful di
plomacy on our part it ought to be
easy to arrive at an agreement which
should be entirely satisfactory to
American public opinion without i'm
pairing in the least the present cordial
relations existing between the two
great English-speaking nations"

BRIDGE WASHED AWAY.
Heavy Rains Destroy Temporary
Structure of Southern.

Bristol Tenn, Aug. 1S.-East Ten
nessee and Southwest Virginia expert
enced a damaging freshet this morning
for the third time during the season.
A twelve-foot tide in the Watauga
river swept away the temporary
bridge on the Southern Railway at
Watauga station at o'clock this
morning. This structure had taken
the place of the iron bridge that was
wrecked in the May tise A portion of
a train of cars loaded with pig iron
placed on the bridge to hold it went
down fifty feet to the water. The same
tide damaged bridges on the Virginia
and Southwestern Railway. Between
Inman and Intermont Junction on this
road two miles OF track and three
trestles are washed away. One resi-
dence near Inman was carried away
by the tide. No fatalities are reported.
IT will probably be five days before

Crane Appears Before South African
Compensation Commission.
London, Aug. 13.--At to-day's session
of the South African COMPENSATION
Commission Newton Crane, counsel for
the American claimants, made further
representations regarding the claims
of nine men who were expelled for
completely in the plot against Lord
Roberts. Maj. Gen. Sir John c. Ar
dargh, representing the foreign office,
read documentary evidence from the
military authorities, including a letter
from Lord Kitchener, to the effect that
United States Consul Albert S. Hay
had been invited to visit the men in
prison and had declined to guarantee
the integrity of these nine or their
worthiness to be allowed to remain.
Mr.. Crane, in setting forth the po-
sition of the American government at
the close of the hearing said that with
two exceptions Great Britain had made
no explanation of the arrest or depor-
tation of American citizens. He denied
the right of deportation either in peace
or war until evidence had been taken
of an infraction of the law or hostility
to the government. The United States
would not be bound by any narrow
legal rule as to the damages, but ex-
pected that the broadest consideration
would be given to the demands of those
of her citizens who had been improper
ly arrested and deported. 1t was no
excuse to say they had been given full
soldiers rations and travelling accom-
modations. The American claimants
were not soldiers. They were subject

Information of Interest.


Washington, Aug. 1S.-The State De-

from three different quarters in Colom-

ments in progress. and rather serious
conditions of affairs. Both termini of
te Panama Railway route were heard
from, Consul General Gudger writing
from Panama as to the revolutionary
attack on near by towns and Consul
Malmros, at Colon, reporting that guer-
lila fighting has been going on at diff
ferent points between Colon and Pan
anna. At the same time, Minister Hart
wrote from the capital of Colombia as
to the arrest and imprisonment of
prominent adherents of the former
president, DIR. San Clemente, as they
were suspected of seeking to have the
Nationalist organization join with the
Liberals, who are said to be showing
increased strength and activity in
revolutionary movement. Although
these letters have taken some time to
come forward, yet they give the State
Department about the best and the
only definite information which is at
hand as to the condition of affairs. Mr..
Gudger's letters speak of a revolution

an alcade and several policemen were
made prisoners. and some arms and
provisions captured. This is not the
