For Deserters Only.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
commissioner of pensions today gave
out the statement that an erroneous
impression seems to exist among many
ex-Confederate soldiers regarding the
Interpretation to be put upon the re-
cent act of congress relieving Union
soldiers of the disability for having
previously served in the Confederate
army.
The idea seems to prevail that un-
der this act the government is author
ize to pension ex-Confederate SOL
diers, and the result is that the pen
sion Office is being deluged with appli-
cations from the former wearers OF the
gray. The commissioner explained
that the law in question does not con-
template the pensioning of ex-Confec-
crate soldiers, but that it was design
ed solely to remove the disability which
so long existed in the case of men who
were Impressed into the Confederate
service and later joined the Union
arny.a

E. II. DeCamp, has formally made
this charge against Tillman and hes
has conceded it to require explanation
we can at least insist upon an explana-
tion that will explain. All that is
writing from the lady who was presi-
dent of the Ladies' Monument Associa-
tion of Edgefeld during the year 1900
that James Fl. Tillman promptly paid.
over to the association all moneys col
lected by him previous to the close.
of that year for the construction of
the Confederate monument at Edge
field. Such statement ought to be
easy to obtain if Tillman be innocent
If he be guilty he cannot obtain it,
and his failure to do so will be proof
of his guilt That is a simple propo-
sition.
It is hardly necessary to set forth
to an intelligent public that the former
president Of the association is not the
lady who now certifes to receiving
money from James II. Tillman. We
think it will be found that the admin
istration Of the present officer began
long after November, 1900, at which
tlO10 GQ0 grievance u IlS dSSOClaGIOu
against Tillman was related to Us as
an old one. It is easy enough to ac-
count for the payment by Tillman Of
this money, or some of it, within the
last few months, after the events Of
last winter had shown him that his
record would be dissected If he ran
for governor. But in the opinion Of
no honest person would such restitu-
tion, made. with such a motive, be
held to absolve him from the origi-
nal crime charged against him and
not yet disproved.
The money, according to our in
formation, was overdue nearly two
years ago. When was it paid? We
invite proof of the date. And We
further invite proof that the Whitney
and legislative subscriptions we're
turned over to the9 Edgefeld Monu-s
ment Association within six months
after they came into the hands Of
James 81. Tillman and had been
pleaded for to complete the monument.
We will cheerfully print any authentic
evidence.-The State.

80ER GENERALS
Will be Lionized on Their Visit TO
England Next Week.

London, Aug. 1.-THE arrival next
Saturday from Africa of Generals Bo-s
tha, DeWet and Delarey promises to
be the occasion of another struggle be-
tween Boer and Briton. The colonial
Office has made special arrangement
for the reception of the visiting Beers.
at Southampton. The naval review
will be in progress when the Beers ar
rive and after their reception by dis
tinguished colonial officers, Lord
Kitchener and other prominent per-
sons, they will be conducted on the
steamer chartered for the use Of the
colonial lremiers, to witness the pa
rade.
It is expected that Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain will be on board the
steamer. The Boer leaders will spend
Saturday night on board this vessel
and Sunday they will be received by
King Edward on board the royal yacht
and in the presence of a number Of
distinguished personages.
The arrival in England of the Boer
generals will doubtless be the prelude
to another round of lionizing like that
experienced by the late Gen. Lucas
Meyer should the generals decide to
stay in England; but according to The
Hague correspondent of the Daily
Mail, former President Kruger of the
Transvall and his party are very anx-
ious to prevent Generals Botha,
DeWet and Delarey from landing in
England. Members of the Kruger
party have sent urgent letters and
cablecrams to Madeira in an effort to
dissuade the generals from accepting
their hospitality. It is proposed to
send Dutch vessel to intercept them,
according to the correspondent, and
in any case, Messrs. Wolmarans, Fish
er and Vessels will go to Southamp-
ton with that intention.

Special to The State.
Charleston, Aug. 1.-THE claims of
Capt. F. W. Wagner president of
the exposition company against the
company was filed in the Office Of
Master G. Herbert Sass today. The
total amount of the claim is sl52,-
952. 80. The claim of Capt. WAGNER
is larger than the total of ali of the
other claims. The claim is lengthy
one and each amount is specified. It
shows that the money due him is for
notes endorsed by Capt. Wagner, and
for overdrafts on different banks of
the city, guaranteed by him. It also
shows that he paid out considerable
money as interest on notes. Capt.
Wagener also includes the expense Of
his trio to Washington and Baltimore.
Besiees the claim of Capt. Wagner
several other claims were fled today,
which added to the claim of Capt.
Wagner and total of all of the others
brings the total amount Of claims up
to s23s, 21O. SO. Among those who fled
claims today was Mr.. J. +. Ficken
for Sd, ,470 for services rendered as at
torney for the exposition.

the redemption of his down -trodden
State became the realization of his
greatest ambition.
Such a man is great beyond the
power of eulogy, and it is useless to
reckon over again the deeds Of Wade
Hampton in the presence of veterans
who were his comrades, and who with
out exception gave to him an unreserv-
ed faith and implicit confidence when
his word alone was the law in South
Carolina, though armed soldiers stood
sentinel at the capitol and men fancied
we were under military rule. 1t was
the voice of Hamp5o nfrom the granite
steps of the capitol that kept the
peace and stayed the shedding Of
blood, aud it was his superb conduct
on that and other days which brought
enduring peace to. the land of his
birth.
CAL finished now that noble life,
And ended, too, toilsome strife;
Hushed the voice and stilled the heart
That brayely bore so long its part;
Finished well, the tales complete,
Who can e'er that life repeat?''
This sketch would be incomplete in
the presence of veterans were the OBJ
vious duty of South Carolina not to be
mentioned in this connection.
The monument to Hampton is yet to
be built, and in the next few months
will be determined the fact whether
or not the love and affection Of his
people are to be erystallized into a
memorial worthy of his name and
fame.
/ will not dwell upon the reasons for
perpetuating in tangible form the de-
votion of his people to memory that
will be ever blessed in our State, but
on this occasion it should be urged
that procrastination will inevitably
bring failure to a movement that
seemed to have the unanimous APPROX
al of the people. The committee in
charge proposes to place this matter
upon the hearts of his friends and ad-
mirers, and the monument in what
ever shape it may come must be the
voluntary testimonial of their affection
and esteem, the lasting expression Of
their generosity and sacrifice if need
be to the worth, the patriotism, the
nobility of mind and heart, the great
ness and goodness of Wade Hampton,
the knightliest gentleman of his day
and generation, the humble Christian,
the staunch friend, the generous, foe,
the warrior and the statesmen.

can be secured. A Philippines gov
ernment act was passed, dealing in
detail. with the internal affairs of those
islands. The war revenue acts were
repealed, making a reduction of over
S72, 100000 in the revenues. Among
the other important general laws
enacted are those extending and

King Edwards Recovery,
The condition of King Edward VII
is very satisfactory, and his medical
attendants say that he is progressing
toward recovery, with every symptom
favorable. The affection from which
he suffered was an abscess of the YER
inform appendix. The king strove
earnestly to keep up until after coro-
nation, but was compelled to submit
to an operation as the only possibility
of saving his life. An incision was
made, and fully pint of pus drawn
from the abscess, which had been
carefully located in advance. A drain
age tube was inserted and the wound
closed up. 1t was very serious op-
Grafton, but seems to have been most
skilfully performed. The patient rail-
lied nicely, and has even sat up and
