Says the Senator.

Washington, May 5.-Senator Me-.
Laurin of South Carolina has issued
an address to the voters of his state
stating 1t will be impossible for him
to again be u candidate. Mr.. Me-
Laurin says in part:

purpose of discussing these national
issues. was Immediately and vto-
lently assailed for advocating Repub-
lican doctrines and branded as Re-
publican in Democratic disguise. The
state Democratic executive committee
met, and, under dictation of my col
league in the Senate, formally declar-
ed that was not a De 1ocrat, which
formed the basis for similar action
on the part of the Democratic caucus
of the United States Senate.
1.-The policy of my opponents has
been to belittle the real issues into
personal quarrel between 'Tillman
and McLaurin. This issue | am not
willing to accept, as l do not propose
to be influenced in my public course
by personal spleen or petty jealousy.
Now the proposition of my political
enemies is to exclude me from the pri-
mary as a candidate, and to exclude
all candidates for Office who entertain
my views, and thus prevent the peo-
pie from hearing me and from hearing
them in justification Of my course in
advocacy of the absorbing public
measures now confronting the Ameri-
can people.

mother was Miss Hannah Walker.
Both parents were of Scotch-Irish
stock, and from them the son inherited
indomitable energy and persistence.
Young Sampson often worked by
his fatEer's side in the streets of the
little New York town where he was
born and reared. He was called "the
chore boy" in those days. The
picture of the rear admiral may be
found now in every house in Palmyra,
and the town has for years boasted of
being the birthplace OF the uayalhero.
Although he was handicapped by
poverty, the son of james Sampson
made remarkable progress i'm his
studies.
Young Sampson was Of mathe-
matical turn OF mind. The congress
man of the district in looking for
some one to recommend for appoint
ment to Annapolis, asked the prin-
cipal OF the public schools who was
the best mathematician under his
supervision. The principal replied,
civilian Sampson" The appoint
ment Of the choice Of the old school
master quickly followed.
William Y. Sampson was admitted
to the United States naval academy
in September, 1857. He was grad
uated four years later ut the head OF
his class. There was need for officers
in the navy at that time, for Fort
Sumpter had been fred upon before
the young cadet left the academy. He
advanced rapidly and was appointed
master in 1861. On July rs, 1862, he
was advanced to the rank of lieuten.

SAMPSON is DEAD
The End Came Last Tuesday Evening
at Five O'Clock

Washington, May 7. Admiral Samp-
son died at o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Admiral Sampson had a viol ent
hemorrhage yesterday. At 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon the admiral was nncon-
scious and breathing laboriously.
His physician stated that he was fail
ing rapidly and that the end might
come at any moment. For several
days the admiral had been growing
weaker and the hemorrhage yesterday
brought on the sinking spell.
The hemorrhagefrom which Admiral
Sampson suffered yesterday morning
was from the brain. At 2:45 O'Clock
hisunconsciousnes was profound.
For more than a year Admiral
sampson has been in i'll health, and
the worry over the Schley controversy
did much to hastenthe end. Several
times he was reported to be dyingt
and there we're rumors that his mind
was affected. These were denied by his
physicians and immediate family.
SAMPSON's EVENTFUL LIFE.
BY the death of Rear Admiral
Sampson is removed man who for
more than forty years had no other
aim in life than devotion to the United
States navy. He knew intimately
every branch Of naval warfare, and
his advice and counsel we're esteemed
by Secretaries of the Navy for a
generation. The controversy over
the battle of Santiago, which resulted
in Admiral Schley calling for a court
OF inquiry, preyed upon the mind of
Rear Admiral Sompson, and the
worry which resulted no doubt ag-
gravated the malady from which he
died.
William Thomas Sampson was born
in Palmyra, n. Y, on February 0,
1910. His father was James Sampson,
laborer and small farmer. His

Jefferson City, May 6.-The beef

lawyer addressed the Judge and said
herepresented Nelson Morris, Armour,
Cudahy, Swift and other packers, all
of whom were absent he said by his
advice as he believed the inquiry was
based on an unconstitutional law.
After the argument the judge or
dered the inquiry to proceed. Frank
Straudenraus, president Of the
butchers union at St. Joseph, said the
packers fixed price each Friday and
Saturday for the succeeding week. He
traded with all the packers and always
found the prices alike. He said he had
received rebates, the last being paid
him by an agent of Cudahy, amount
ing to thirty dollars. j. b. Setter,
coolerman for Swift's at St. Joseph,
said the price of meat was always fixed
week in advance at a meeting of the
packers. He attended in the absence
of Manager Kennedy for Swift.
Cudahy, Armour and Swift and
Hammond were represented. II the
managers could not agree on the
amount of the raise they let the old
prices stand. He had been butcher
formerly and received rebate from
Swift's. If butcher failed to pay
promptly his name went on list dis
tributed to all the packers.
Other st. Joseph butchers told of
getting rebate in extra beef instead
of cash. John Wood said that Mr..
Lacy paying teller of bank was ar
bitrator for the packers with the pow
er to impose fines when he found the
packer giving rebate. He also said
that St. Joseph butchers decided to
buy meat in Ohio it being cheaper.
The order was never filed the Ohio
man sending word that the packers
threatened him. One butcher testified
that the only time the prices were dis
organized was when the "big four" f."

HE WILL PROTEST
Senator Burton to Make Speech on
Evans Appointment

Washington, May 5.-vIt is believed
that no serious fight will be made on
the confirmation of H. Clay Evans to
be consul general to Liverpool, in
spite of'considerable talk in private
and the newspa pers, which predict
oppose his confirmation. AS n matter
of fact, Senator Burton will doubtless
make a speech in which he will de-
preciate Evans promotion from the
pension Office to place paying $780,
600 or $4,000 year, with practically
nothing to do, and he will voice the
sentiment of the old soldiers on the
appointments; but it is%aid that the
senator realizes that he will be unable
to muster enough support in the
senate to defeat the nomination.
lis known that the nomination of
Evans has aroused unusual activity
among Grand Army men, and tele-
grams have been sent from here to
numerous posts all oyer the United
States with view to rousing the old
soldiers up to bring pressure upon
the senate to prevent his confirmation,
but it is believed that no good will
come OF it, and while Senator Bur-
rows and Senator Burton, possibly,
may create ripple of excitement
over the nomination in executive
session, he will be confirmed in the
end by the votes of administration
senator's.
The nomination of Eugene f. Ware
is expected as soon as Evans nomi-
nation is safe, and it was stated to-
day at the pension Office that Mr.,
Ware was expected in Washington
this week, The president decided
some time ago not to send Wares
name in until Evans had fully run the
gauntlet of the senate.

His commission as commander came
to him in 1874, and he was assigned
to the Alert. He returned in 1876 o
the United States Naval academy,
where he was engaged in important
service. His wide knowledge both of
the theories of naval warfare and its
practice made him Invaluable at An
napolis.
From 1879 to 1882 Sampson was in
command of the Swatara of the Allan
tic squadron. His talent for pure
mathematics and astronomy was the
means Of recalling him to Annapolis
in 1882 for three years more of study
and research In this period the com
mander was in charge of the naval OBJ
servatory. He was in 1884 a member
OF the international prime meridian
and time conference. The board of
Notifications and defense had the ben
eft of his work in the year 1856.
In the years from 1887 to 1891 the
lieutenant commander was superinten-
dent of the Naval academy. He was
frequently summoned from Annapolis
to Washington by the Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. Chandler, to assist in
the settlement of difficult questions
which had ari sen in the department.
Sampson attained the rank of captain
in 1889. The captain from that time
was highly esteemed by all admins
trations for his learning and for his
grasp on the many intricate questions
which are peculiar to the navy. He
was recognized as an authority on or
dinance, fortifcation and kindred sub
jects.
HELPED CREATE NEW NAVY.
Captain Sampson commanded the
ironclad San Francisco in 1891. In
the creation of the new navy he took
a prominent part, and after the bat
tleship Iowa was launched he became
its first commander. From 1893 TO
1897 he was chief OF the bureau Of
ordnance. When the country was on

Sampson was sent to Cuba as the
head of the board Of inquiry ap-
pointed to investigate the blowing up
Of the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor.
The administration had confidence
in Sampson on account of his sound
ness Of judgment and his habit Of
looking at questions in calm and
judicial manner. AT the outbreak of
the war with Spain Rear Admiral
Sampson succeeded Rear Admiral
Montgomery Sicard in command Of
the North Atlantic squadron. He had
the rank of acting rear admiral. He
was made a commodore in 1893 and
in 1899 he was raised to the rank of
rear admiral in recognition of his
services to his country,
AS the executive head of naval
force which was to blockade the ports
OF the Spanish possessions and to de-
stroy the naval strength of Spain,
the acting rear admiral had a task
which called for administrative abil-
ity of the highest order.
