T;llman and Irby.

Laureps Advertiser.
Senator Tillman in the May State
convention of 1896, at Columbia, in
an impassioned speech advocated
electing delegates to the National
Democratic convention "pledged to
free silver at Is to 1 or bust; dele
gates instructed to bolt the National
convention unless it endorsed "l6 to
1" The late Senator Irby opposed
him in an eloquent speech appealing
for party loyalty under all conditions.
In the recent convention not syl-
liable was uttered about Free silver
and sixteen to 1''-possibly because
the "bust" part of the programme Of
1896 was recognized as sufficiently
carried out-but Senator Tillman re-
ported rule pledging congressional
candidates not to bolt the party un-
der any considerations, and the rule
was adopted.
Thus after six years Senator Till
man becomes the disciple of Senator
Irby, accepting the doctrine of party
loyalty that Senator Irby taught and
which Senator Tillman then used as
q cudgel to drive Senator Irby out Of
politics.

to the effect that President Roosevelt will take the stump this fall to ask for the reelection of a Republican House. It is an off year and the Congressional com mittee realizes that a hard fight will be necessary to capture the next House. The President, it Is said, will spend sew eral weeks speaking in Southern states.
 The present proceedings against the beef trust will form one of the principal chapters of the forthcoming Republican campaign book. It is ful.y expected here that the proceedings will be tied up in the courts until after the election when the administration will resume the same policy of indifference toward combines as has characterized 1t for the past six years, and allow the matter to drop.

Engines an ToWbOat Break CauS-

PLUNGED ABOUT IN RIVER
Those On Board Did Everything Pos slble to Prevent the Destruction, But Without Avall-Could
 Not Control Vessel.

Memphis, May 2.-Because of an acci- dent to the gearing of one of the engines of the towboat J. B. Finley early this morning the vessel drifted about the bends in the river in the vicinity of Friars Point. Miss, carrying destruction in her path.
 The vessel wa almost uncomfortable and sank nineteen of her barges, one laden with coal and the model barge Texas, which was heavily loaded with steel rails. The barges and boats are total loss, the barge Texas breaking in two, and it Is the opinion of experts that the rails cannot be saved.
 Came Without Warning.
 The accident came without warning. The Finley was tracing slowly its path down the river to the point of destination when suddenly the gearing to one of the engines gave way, rendering the big boat almost helpless. From one bank to an- other the steamer went and the barges and boats being lightly constructed, of- fered little resistance to the powerful plunges of the big steamer. Those on board did everyth ag possible to prevent the work of destruction, but without avail. Like eggshells the boats and barges were easily crushed and for two and a half hours the destruction continued. Fortunately, no one was in- jured.
 Boats Loaded With Coal.
 Attached to the steamer Finley were thirty-two boats laden with coal, four immense barges of coal and three barges of modern type loaded with steel
 Repairs were made to the machinery of the steamer, and she will get away to- morrow The remainder of her tow will be left at Vickshurg and Natchez, Miss The steamer Finley has been particularly unfortunate on htc so'thern trip. Shortly after passing Cairo she lost two boats, coal laden, at Island No. A. The loss was total.
 The coal boats contain on an average about 100 tons of coal and the barges will average about 15,000 bushels each. All were owned by the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company of Pittsburg, from which place the steamer Finley and tow cleared.
