Clayton will not be appointed United
States marshal by President Roose-
welt, shows how badly complicated is
the political situation in South Caro-
INA.
For business and personal reasons,
DR.. Clayton, who is now serving as
marshal under temporary appointment
of the court has decided to withdraw
from the race. He had never filed a
formal application, although the presi-
dent gave out a statement that DR..
Clayton would be named.
In this chaotic condition it is left to
District Attorney John G. Capers to
recommend a marshal for the appoint
ment, which will be made on January
5. Dr.. Crum, on that day, will be nom
mated as collector of customs at
Charleston, and it is necessary to put
a new marshal in charge at the same
time.
There are a score of applicants for
IuS pIoSS.
President Roosevelt has considered
the advisability of appointing Internal
Revenue Collector Micah Jenkins mar
shall, but Major Jenkins does not de-
sire to change Offices. There is some
talk Of appointing former District At
torney Lathrop to one of the better Of
fees, and in fact hundreds Of names
have been mentioned.
DIR. Crum's nomination will be sent
to the United States senate on January
5. There is no longer any doubt about
his getting the collectorship, and busi-
ness men who fought him are prepar-
ing to submit. The statement is made
that Crum would give number of the
minor Offices in the custom house to
white men, many citizens having al
ready applied.

Oyster Factory Probable

William Fait, a representative OF
the Gibes Preserving Company, of Bal,
timore, was in Charleston the past
week on business mission. which may
be of great benefit to that community,
His company is considering the ad-
visibility of establishing the largest
oyster factory in the south, where the
fine bivalves from Bull bay may be
saved for other markets.
Mr.: Fait has made an Investigation
of conditions existing at other ports,
but he says Charleston is best suited
for the carrying on of the work.
The plant will be operated on big
scale, and when in full working order
will employ about 1000 persons. Mr.
Fait will submit report to his COM
pany and it is said that contracts will
probably be closed at an early date for
the erection of buildings and for the
oyster picking rights at Bull bay.

TO BLOCK TREATY
Reciprocity Arrangements With

OPPOSITION FAST DEVELOPING
Provisions Objectionable to Many Sen.

Matter. "a;

A Washington special says: Consid.

ratification of the Cuban reciprocity.
treaty now pending in the senate. It
is not taking quite the form that the
opposition to the Cuban legislation
took last spring, but it is sufficient In
substance to give concern to the;
friends of the treaty. ~
From time to time, as opportunity
offers, the president Is discussing the
matters with senators, particularly.
those who are known to have objected
to the enactment Of legislation extend.
ing taft concessions to the Cuban re.
public. Several weeks ago 1t appeared
that the treaty when presented to the
senate would be ratified without difh-
Guilty, but some senators are now taks
ing as strong grounds against the
treaty as they took against the legisla
ton proposed at the last seszion Of
congress. These senators are Of two
classes-these who are opposed on
principle to any tariff tinkering" and
those who represent states whose pro-
ducts may be affected by the conces-
sions extended to Cuba by the pending
treaty.
Senators Of the first class might be
induced to support the treaty, mas
much as it does not involve, in their
view, an attack on the system OF pro-
lection, were it not for their appreheH-g
sion that the ratification Of the Cuban
treaty may lead to a demand from
other countries that they, too, be acsg
corded special tariff concessions By
the United States. ss...s sss
May Hear from Germany.
It has been indicated to the prest
dent that in the event Of the ratidcae
ton of the Cuban treaty demand
may be expected from Germany with
in thirty days for concessions similar
to those accorded Cuba. The most
distinct desire Of the German emper-
or, 1t is pointed out, is for the exten
sion of the foreign commerce OF hie
empire. He, Of course regards Cuba
as a nation foreign to the United
States, and 80 far as that point is con-
eerned, on allfours with Germany Is
tariff concessions are granted to Cuba,
Germany, under the most favored nar,
ton clause, will request that she be
given similar concessions. That re-
quest may take the form almost OF -
demand. If it be not granted. the tear
is expressed that Germany may ini-
tiate legislation that will be lnimicals
to the industrial development OF this
country, so far as Germany is concern
ed, even If it should not curtail Amer
lean commerce already established IN
Germany and its possessions.
The same argument Is applied TO
other countries, Germany being used
simply as an example Of what may be
expected of all Of the great foreign
nations with which the United Stated
has extensive commercial relations.

" GREAT PIECE OF IMPUDENCE ="
German General Reiterates Rismarck's
Famous Declaration Anent
the Monroe Doctrine.

A cable dispatch from Berlin says:
The German government is completely
silent as to when the Venezuelan
blockade will be raised or whether it
will be raised at all until every ques-
ton concerning arbitration of the dis
pute Is settled. The acceptance OF ar
bitration after the blockade was begun
is certainly not received with popular
favor in Germany.
General Won Boguslawski, one Of
the foremost military writer's, contrib
uted to The Tagliche Rundschau his
views upon the Monroe doctrine and
argues that the withdrawal of the
blockade at this stage would show sin
gular weakness. After alluding to the
late Prince Bismarcx's expression
that the Monroe doctrine was "a great
piece of impudence," the general says:
THAT was q true word. America is
divided into many states. In varieties
Of race and language she is hardly Sec
ond to Europe. How can. one state
assert that 1t has the right Of inter-
ference and protection over an entire
continent and that it will tolerate only
under certain conditions any action,
however just, Of European nations
against an American state? A further
question is how it happens that this
doctrine, set up eighty years ago by
an American statesman, has been able
to justify itself in fact VIII abso-
lutely no justification in the law Of na-
tions, when the United States feels
herself threatened through any occu-
patton Of territory, of course she has
the right, like any other nation, to
raise a protest and, If necessary, en-
ploy force.
No Recognition.
"But there must be no Lalk of even
an apparent recognition of the Mon
roe doctrine as an international law
principle on the part Of the European
nations. It is for the latter to act,
otherwise they will soon feel the
thumbscrews which they put on there
by.
Through the war against Spain,
American self-importance has been in
flnitely increased, often showing dis
eased character. The courtesies
shown America by Germany have ma
naturally not diminished that self-es-
TEEN. How little success excessive
courtesy has wrought is again shown
her. Certainly the allies cannot be
blamed for sharing the United States
sensitiveness to the greatest extreme
and in seeking an agreement there
with. Regarding the action against
Venezuela. the allies not only did SO,
but even went to the length Of offering
President Roosevelt the arbitrator
ship after beginning military action.
He refused, and. indeed for the reason
that the justice of the case Of the al
lies was so self-evident that his decis-
ion could only have been unfavorable
to Venezuela, thereby damaging the
United States popularity with Tie 9TH
or nations of that hemisphere. Now
that warlike action has been begun, no
thumbscrews can be tolerated as to
how far the action taken will extend"

KEEP HANDS Off"
Is Advice Of American People
TO President Roosevelt.
OBJECT TO HIS BEING ARBITER
Concensus Of Opinion Is Against Ac.
ceptance Of Such a Delicate Re-
sponsibiIity and Compromis. -.
ing Position is Feared.

The Atlanta journals Washington
correspondent wires his paper as fol-
lows:
With the whole country practically
at his back in the attitude Of saying,
Don't do that" President Roosevelt
is yet undecided on the proposition
of the powers to arbitrate the claims
against Venezuela.
Those senators and representatives
who are in washington are almost
unanimous in the opinion that the
president should keep his hands OF
the job. The president has entered
refusal to the first intimation ofAtke
powers proposal, but that intimation
was merely feeler. Now the direct
request Of the powers is before him
and he must soon give direct reply
to them.
1t is the opinion CT washington that
we have so far come out OF tho I'M
broglic with credit, but that we might
get seriously entangled if our chief
executive attempts to act as account
ant for the Venezuelan claims.
No one here advances any reason
as to why the powers should call on
our president for the great task, when
The Hague tribunal is constituted for
just that purpose. 1T is a tribute to
him and the United States to be
asked to do the work by all parties
concerned, but whether he could do
it and at the same time take care OF
our interests is another matter.
Senator Cullom, chairman Of the
senate committee on foreign rela'
tions, declined to be publicly quoted.
but it can be stated that he IS dis
posed to regard it as a step to be
avoided if possible. Senator Cullom
Tuesday received several telegrams
from constituents in Chicago, asking
him TO see the president and request
him not to serve.
Senator Foraker, Of Ohio, mem
Der of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, said:
81 sincerely trust the president will
not consent to act as arbitrator in the
Venezuelan controversy. 1t is assert
ed that by accepting the position as
arbitrator, no responsibility attaches
to the United States. That may be
true, but at the same time the foreign
powers will naturally excect the Uni.
ted States to assume certain obliga-
tions in support of any decision the
president may render. The course OF
the president and the secretary OF
state has thus far been firm, but en-
tirely neutral, and I have no reason
to believe that there will be any ma
terial change in our policy which may
involve US in serious complications
with any of the parties to the Vene-
zuelan controversy.
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, the
ranking democrat uember Of the
committee on foreign relations, said:
'T do not put it too strongly when
I say that it is ridiculous for Germany
and Great Britain to ask the presi.
dent of the United States to arbitrate
this case. There is precedence for
such action on the part Of presi-
dent in boundary disputes and In
cases where the disputes have not
reached the point OF war. But there
is no precedent for such arbitration
when once q state Of belligerency
has been established. Acts OF war
have taken place and war was de-
clared by Great Britain"

Safe Blowers lnfest the State.

Safe Blowers lnfest the State.
From the number of robberies COM
mitted in various parts of South Caro-
lima, the authorities believe that three
separate gangs of safe blowers are at
work.
The sheriSs in every county have
been on the alert, but safes have been
blown open with dynamite under their
very eyes. The conditions have. be-
come alarming, and at no other time
have such depredations been reported.
One gang started in from the North
Carolina line and struck the section Of
this state south of Charlotte. Simul-
taneously the lover part Of the state
was visited. The other gangs opera
ted in the Piedmont section, and along
the Georgia state line, and on Monday
the latest report Of the cracksmen
came from Seneca, where the safe of
the Courtney Manufacturing Company
was blown open.
The strange part of the thing is that
the gangs have not committed any rob-
berries in Charleston Local detectives
say that suspicious characters, believ-
ed to be members Of the gang, were in
the city recently. They were shadow
ed, had unlimited money, and moved
out before any OF the banks were
harmed. There are better chances in
the country districts, where the most
numerous thefts have been known,
and by remaining in the small towns
bigger hauls have been made than
would have been possible in the larger
cities.
In many instances the robbers have
fed without carrying off their tools,
and from this evidence left behind the
authorities are convinced that experts
are at work. Many of the sneriffs
think that the gangs came south from
Massachusetts, Copies of Boston
newspapers and other articles from
that state have been picked up, which
naturally led to the opinion that the
robbers have business connections in
New England.
