Commissioner Hughes that he had
come here to marry one OF the two
sisters who had come from Elkton,
Md, to meet him.
The commissioner pointed out that
after he had paid his fare to Elkton-

cripsack of clothes With which to be-
gin housekeeping. This, the official
thought, was hardly sufficient capl-

During the examination the two
girls managed to gain entrance to the
landing bureau, and when the bride

returned to Ireland she made her way
forthwith into Commissioner Hughes
Office, accompanied by her sister, both
crying bitterly. Between sobs the
girls pleaded for Peters release. and
Mr.. Hughes finally relented on the
bride-elect, assuring him that she had
money in the bank and would see that
her future husband was provided with
work. The man was, therefore, re-
leased, and the trio started for Elk

american Supremacy"

In the new issue of the London
Fortni ghtly Review there appears an
ANONYMOUS article on American Su-
premacy," says the New York Trib-
une, that is likely to attract much
attention. The author considers the
notion of Europe being overwhelmed
BY the boundless production of the
United States most fantastic fig
ment of the imagination. Upon tho
new presidents recognition OF the
limits of American supremacy, he
argued, the commercial and political
fortunes Of the whole world may in
no little degree depend. He goes on
to show that England will make a
bad mistake if she opposes the
wishes Of America in regard to the
isthmian canal. The United States
should hold the iron keys of the
gate Of the two oceans, and should
have the power to close 1t against
enemies.

ANOTHER VERSION.
A special sent from Chicago Thurs
day night, which was received by The
Charleston Evening Post Friday from
Springfield, Ohio, says United States
Senator Tillman of South Carolina is
reported to be lost somewhere between
Kansas City and Cicago. He was
booked for apartments at the Audi
torium Hotel ano number Of persons
were gathered there for a conference
and anXiouSly awaited his coming.
He is reported TO have left train,
having failed to lind his transporta-
tion or cash, and SO far as can be learn
ed by officials he is alta way station
awaiting a remittance.
Senator Tillman is said to have re-
piled, when asked for his ticket, that
his pocket had been picked and that
he had nothing on his person to iden-
tify himself. The conductor and the
trainmen telegraphed for instructions,
but the Chicago officials had no means
of determining whether or not the
passenger was an imposter and in
structed the conductor to use his judg-
ment.
The train has since reached Chicago
and the conductor has vanished, but
Senator Tillman has failed to appear
at either the Auditorium or any other
hotel. There is a story among Chicago
railroad men that the conductor did
not know Senator Tillman and that
he was elected from the train and is
stranded. TelegramS sent along the
line have failed 10 locate him. AT
midnight prominent railroad officials
were sending telegrams broadcast,
mailing inquiries for Senator Till
man.
TlLLMAN MOI LoSI.
A special dispatch from St. Louis,
Mo, to The News and Courier say
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, OF
South Carolina, remained in St. Louis
Friday and while here he reported at
the local offices of various railroad ano
express companies the loss Of wallet
filled with passes, express franks apo
other money-savers. 1t was reported
that the Senator had been robbed on
train, but he denied the Story at the
Southern Hotel. They fell out OF

notice it at the time. They were not
taken By a pickpocEet that know
One OF the passes | lost was over the
Burlington Railroad and l guess
dropped it at Kansas City. 1t was in
pocketbook that had lot Of express
com pany franks and telegraph franks
and other railroad passes, and all that
kind of stuff. But l had not used the
Burlington pass.
Senator Tillman was asked if it was
not unusual for him to accept such
favors from corporations and he xe'
piled: How can l help accepting
them: they stick them at me and stick
at me until I just have to take them.
They don't influence my vote, 1t is
different down in our country from
what it is up here. You haven't

Selma, April 2o.-Articles recently ap- bearing in the Norfolk Pilot and the New Orleans States severely critieising the 'Diek military law" were shown Senator E. w.

It will be recalled that when the Dick bill' came over from the hoase 1t contained a provision whereby 100000 of the National guard thorities and enlisted for five years as reserve militia," officered by appoint ments by the President and organized and equipped as are the regular army.

He opposed the sec tion and succeeded in having 1t entirely eliminated
 As to the present law and the criticism by the editors of the States and the Pilot, he said;
 The National guard almost unani- mously favored the bill, and it seems to me that the chief trouble with these complaining editors is that they have not lately read the constitution or the old militia laws.
 Congress has power to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress instruction and repel invasions.' Constitution Art. 1. Sec. 8, Pr. 15; and in February, 1795, congress exercised that power. Revised statutes, Sec. 1642.

 What are these editors mad about? Are they opposed to the old constitution and the old laws; or is complaining mere habit?

After following Bragg, Johnson and Hood through their campaign he was seriously wounded at Jonesboro, Ga, on October 91, 1864.

 When MT. Hughes came to Selma Sat- urday 1t was the first time he had been here in forty years. Seeing country looking darkey on the streets he asked him if he knew Green Carothers. Being answered in the affirmative he sent a note to his old and faithful servant and this morning Green came to town. The meeting between the two, both old men 60 years of age now. and who had not met for forty years. was an affecting scene. Both were little more than boys when they went to the war.
