M'LAURIN is SENSITIVE
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR DE-
CLINES FEDERAL JUDGEsHIP.
Bases His Refusal on Newspaper
Charge that He Sold Himself for
Public ONCE.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 21.-President
Roosevelt is in receipt of letter from Sen
ator John L. McLaurin, of South Carolina.
declining the proTered appointment to the
vacancy on the bench of the United States
Court of Claims. The President, Il can be
said much regrets Senator McLaurins de
cision, as he believes that McLaurin's SEN
atorial experience and his career as attor-
ney general of South Carolina would have
rendered him particularly acceptable adj
dition to the Court of Claims.
The President now is uncertain what he
will do about Senator McLaurin. 1t is said
that he is anxious to appoint him TO some
position in recognition of what the Pres
ident regards as his services TO the country
and his demonstrated ability in public life
Senator McLaurin's letter is couched in the
most positive terms and evidently was
based in particular upon a newspaper ar
ticle which accompanied the letter. The
article stated that the senator had sold
himself for the prospect of getting such an
office as that offered TO him. 1t can be
said. however that the President regarded
such type of accusation as beneath notice
and sincerely regrets that Senator McLau-
rim should have deemed il necessary to pay
any attention to Ii.
Senator McLaurin evidently has changed
his mind about accepting the proffered
appointment since he was in Oyster Bay
on July IL At that time he indicated his
readiness to accept the vacancy of the
Court of Claims, and the only question then
was that he should resign from the Senate.
Mrs. w. G. Cowles, a sister of the Pres
ident and wife of Lieutenant Commander
Cowles. of the navy. arrived at Sycamore
Hill to-day. She will be the guest of the
Roosevelt family for some time. Secretary
Shaw is expected to visit the President
some time this week, but the date is not
announced
When the President goes to sea to visit
the camp of the New Jersey National Guard
he will be accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt,
Miss Alice Roosevelt, Mrs. Cowles and sew
eral other ladies.
President Roosevelt had as one Of his
callers tonight Professor Bliss, who short
ly will succeed his father as the president
of the American College at Beyrout, Syria.
The college established a quarter of
a century ago by the elder Bliss, and in a
measure has been supported by philan-
thropic Americans. When he was a mere
lad President Roosevelt visited the college
as a playmate of the younger Bliss. who
now has been chosen president of the in
stitution. President Bliss came to enlist
the sympathy and aid of Mr.. Roosevelt in
the work of the college and his interview
was highly satisfactory.

asking the business men for anything. He
said business men are not generally in favor
OF organized labor, and that there are ten
cities in the State that have societies of
business men who are making organized
fight against labor unions. Perhaps you
will find a few politicians and saloon keep
ers, said he, who are willing to contribute
TO the success of the strike, and a few
business men who will give something be-
cause they think it is good policy, but the
business man is generally antagonstic to
organized labor" He said the operators
are attempting to break the Miners Union,
and that If the strike is lost, similar at
tempts will be made to break other labor
organizations.
Business Agent Simon, of the Painters
Union, said 10 per cent. of the business men
are not in favor of organized labor, and
that in the next five years organized labor
will have the hardest time ii has ever seen.
He said the labor organizations ought to
make their own fight and stand alone and
not ask the business men for help. He said
trades unionists ought to be willing to sac
rifce 10 per cent. of their earnings, if nee
essary to win the anthracite strike. IF
the anthracite strike is lost" said he.
then goodbye to organized labor"
NJ. L. Butler, of the sawmakers, said a
per cent levy was not enough and that it
ought to be or 10 per cent He said the
miners had made every laboring man
money by refusing TO order a general sus-
pension of work, in view of the fact that
all would have been thrown out of employ
ment had a shortage of coal closed down
the industries. The action of the conven-
ton in saving other laboring men their
wages in not ordering a general strike he
said, should be reciprocated by a liberal
donation of their earnings.
OTHER EXPRESSIONS.
D. L. Stoddard, of the carpenters said he
thought l per cent. levy would be suffi-
cient to keep the miners, with the assist
ance from their own organization. Presi-
dent Perkins interrupted: Yes, those peo-
pie have the science of living down TO moth
ing, and it will not cost as much to keep
them as it would a person in Indianapolis"
Z. j. Collins, business agent of the ma
chinists, favored asking the members of all
local unions to contribute one days wages
each week until the strike ends He said
the plan would bring more money and
thought IL would be more acceptable
President Feltman finally stopped the dis
cussiOn, saying the miners needed aid as
soon as they could get ii, and said he would
like TO see the board take action at once
Harry Slough, secretary of Central Labor
Union, then prepared the above resolution
which was unanimously adopted A motion
was also passed instructing the president
and secretary of Central Labor Union to
craft an appeal to all local unions, en-
bodying the resolution adopted by the
board, and authorizing any member of the
board TO visit local unions between now
and the meeting of Central Labor Union

BANKRUPTCY RULING.
All Property Must Be Distributed Pro
Rata Among Creditors.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, July H.-The Circuit
Court of Appeals to-day filed decision in
a st. Louis bankruptcy case involving the
principle that all unexempt property which
a bankrupt has owned four months before
the filing of a petition against him must
be distributed share and share alike among
his creditors. The Fourth National Bank
of st. Louis held notes against the Siegel-
Hillman Dry Goods Company, of that city,
in the aggregate sum of $4,000. Less than
four months before the latter was adjudged
a bankrupt it had paid on these notes the
sum of $14,600. When the affairs of the
bankrupt company went into the hands OF
the referee, the trustee, S. l.. Swarts
moved that all the claims of the bank be
expunged unless it surrendered the Sl4 800
which had been paid on the notes IL held
against the company. The referee granted
the motion and the bank appealed to the
Federal District Court. which directed the
referee to deny the motion. Mr.. Swarts
thereupon appealed the case TO the Cir
cult Court of Appeals and had the judg-
ment of the lower court reversed

ALLIANCE OF UNIONS.


CHICAGO. July PA long stride in the
direction of enrolling every worker en-
gagged in operating vessels on the great
lakes was taken to-day by the executive
board of the International 'Longshoremen
Marine and Transport Workers Associa-
ton when action was taken to admit every
local branch of the Licensed Tugmen's
Protective Association to membership.
This will give the 'Longshoremen's Assoc
citation almost entire control over the
handling of all classes of freight carried
in lake vessels and also over the workmen
engaged in plotting them in and out of
port.
What effect the new alliance will have

FOR KILLING DE MORES
TRIAL OF TWO ARABS BEGUN AFTER
FOUR YEARS DELAY.
Their Victim Once Well known in
North Dakota, Where He Con-
Quoted a Large Ranch.

TUNIS, July H-At Susa, near here, the
Mores. who married a daughter of L. Won
Hoffman, the banker of New York. and
who at one time conducted a large ranch in
North Dakota, opened to-day. Three of the
assassins were arrested in August, 1898.
One of them. named HANNA Ben Youssef,
has since died The remaining two, Ell
Kheir and HANNA Chiekh, were in the
prisoners dock to-day. Seventeen accom-
pices belonging to the Toureg tribes are
still uncaptured. HANNA Chiekh and Ben
Youssef, before the latters death, admitted
taking part in the murder, but accused FL
Kheir of being the instigator of the crime
and the actual murderer. The widow of
the Marquis De Mores, whose perseverance
led to a thorough investigation of the af-
fair, has been at Susa for the last three
days awaiting the trial She offered a re-
ward of 5000 francs for the arrest of the
principal assassin. The widow blames the
government for not taking proper meas
ures for the safety of the marquis, which,
she asserts, tantamount to inviting the
massacre of his party.
At the opening of the proceedings FL
Kheir denied his guilt and thanked the
court for being tried by Frenchmen. He
spoke and gesticulated with such vigor that
those III court WHO ulu not understand Ara
bic thought he was in fury. The trial is
expected TO last a week
Both prisoners rose and saluted the
widow in military fashion when she entered
the courtroom. FL Kheir is a tall, we'll
built Arab, with energetic features. He
evinced anxiety. HANNA Chiekh, a
younger and a smaller man, appeared very
uneasy.
The Marquis De Mores was killed in 1896
in the Sudan, where. il has been asserted,
ne had gone TO enlist the Arab chiefs
against the British He and his party were
attacked by a band of tribesmen and all
save a few of them, thirty-six in the expe-
dition, were killed. The Journey of the
marquis, il was officially stated was part

termining what action the miners of the
West will take regarding the endorsements
Of the demand upon the operators. The

Indianapolis convention, unless it should
become necessary to thus enforce their de-
mands upon the operators. Sept. l was set
as the time when some kind of settlement

KOCH'S THEORY WRONG
HUMAN BEINGS MAY CATCH TUBER-
CULOSIs FROM CATTLE.
DIR. GarnauIt Proves His Assertion
by InocuIating HimseIf-King
Edwards Condition.

PARIS, July H.-Dr. Garnault. who on
June IL inoculated himself with matter Ia
ken from consumptive cow. in order TO
dlsprove Koch's theory that it is impossi-
bic for human beings to catch tuberculosis
from cattle. has written TO the Temps an
nouncing that the incubation has produced
tuberculosis tumors. He says this proves
that man is quite susceptible to bovine tu-
berculosis as any other animal. He again
inoculated himself July Is by inserting un-
der the skin of his left arm a fragment
of tubercular matter from the liver of a
diseased cow. The second incubation was
performed because he feared the tubercu-
losis of the skin resulting from the first
would remain too long superficial. The
second form Of incubation, when performed
on guinea pig, inevitably causes death
within eight weeks. This will give an idea
of the risks DR.. Garnault is running.
