2aON OF SERVICES
Col. &amer Feeliasly Responds
to Presentation of Silver
Pitcher.

Mhe most pathetic and interest
nnglncident connected with the clos
ing scenes of tho house of repre-
sentatives, was the resolution in
troduccd by Gorter McMaster,
endorsing the efficient work and
long faithful career of clerk Tom
20. Hamer, of Marlboro County.
For 10 years Col. Hamer has
been connected with legislative.
work, and tor 10 gears he has;
been clerk of the house.
Mr.. Mc&Naster said as a slisaatI
token of the esteem and appreoi-r
alton Of his services by the mcsn-
bers, that he he held in his hand "a
silver pitcher which had been par
chased by oil the 'nembers, which
he then amd there would present
to Clerk Mamer. Everything was
as still as a death chamber, for it
was evident that the recipient of
the gift vas deeply and profound
ly touched 'bythis exhibition of
love and confidence. Col. Hamer.
with choking voice said that it
was useless forshim to say that nc
was thankful for this beautiful
present, thatb9 years ago whom he
was FIRST honorel by the legis,a-
ture, that, then he was struggling
to obtain, an education, and from q
financial standpoint at that time
needed the aid that the position
furnished. lie was ambitious to
make q man. and complete his, eau-
cation that he had been honmed
long and we'll FOR which he was
profoundly grateful. He said,
'how well I,hsvc prefosmed S2ly
duties is for you to say, for when
he was first elected clerk, he was
determined to make the very thest
clerk possible, and that duning the
ten lopgAyears.of arduous llabors,
that he had not lost or displaced
a single paper. He said, Il will
take ttSls present to my humble,
happy iome, where | have an .nf-
f%cctionatc mother, kind alaI indul-
gent f&Sher, both in the ,evediirg
hours Of life, and with my loving

Mr.. Hamer was rs touched, and
his expressions SO pathetic, when
lhe closed his remarks, nearly
every II present &verc shedding
tears. The members begged HIM to
come back and standfor reelection,
but he had fully MADE up his mind
to,rctirc.

RUSSIA HIS DEMANDS.
Viii Ask Compensation If Pozcers
ReUise Treaty.

Paris Oct IN d'Iswolsky the Russian Min
tster Of Foreign Affairs, made a statement this
afternoon. in which he said that the Treaty Of
Berlin had been directed against Russia, and
practically served notice that his government
would demand compensation If the powers met
to revise the treaty.
NJ. dIswosky explained that when Baron Won
AehrenthaI the Austro- Hungarian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs broached the subject Of the
annexation of Bosvia and Herzegovina he in
formed him that Russia considered impossible
any modification OF the Treaty Of Berlin without
the assent Of the signatories. Russia would not
consider it a casus beIr but if there were re-
vision it must be expected that each power
would demand the suppression Of clauses onerous
to it, DO not forget that the Treaty of Berlin
was directed against Russia added NJ dis
wolsky.
The minister then explained that Russia count
ed upon the support of France. As to Great
Britain. he said he would be in London in a few
days. when he would have opportunity OF
reaching an understanding with the ministers
of King Edward.
NJ dIswosky said in conclusion that he did
NOT think Turkey would enter on sterile war
and that the only way she could gain by
submitting her claims to the Judgment Of the
powers.
Naoum Pacha, the Turkish Ambassador. gave
out an interview to-day in which he explained
that while Turkey was glad to accept an inter
national conference as reply 10 her protest she
would make a distinct reserve on the subject OF
cornpensations. I'm equity, the ambassador said,
.'the right of compensation is due only to those
who are victims of the abuse OF force. and this
principle must not be forgotten by the confer
ence."
1t Is intimated in Paris that Great Britain al
ready Is trying TO arrange for the repurchsse
of Eastern Rumelia, and dipIomatists here see
