giving her hand in marriage to any
king or crown prince Of Europe. She
frankly vows that she will never wed

a throne and moreover she resolutely
refuses to live out of England.

COTTON INDICTMENTS INVALID.
Possibility That Patten, Hayne, Brown
And Other Bulls Will Never be
Brought to Trial.

New York, June 23.-There is a
possibility that James A. Patten,
Frank B. Hayne and William P.
Brown may never come to trial on
the indictment recently found against
them and six others, charging con-
spiracy to raise the price of cotton in
restraint Of trade, and in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law.
Counsel for Charles Wettle, one of
six others indicted, filed a plea in the
United States circuit court this af-
ternoon in which he argued that the
special grand jury returning the in
dictment was not legally constituted,
because it's members were not chosen
from a special venire Of rs names but
selected from the list Of $50 talesmen
composed to serve on the ordinary
grand jury.

SENATOR SMITH IS INCEnSED.
COMMITTEE PRESENTS WHITE.
WASH REPORT ON COST OF
LIVING.
He Will Make Speech Exposing Pre-
pOsterous Fallacics Of Exculpation
OF Payne-Aldrich Iniquity.

Washington, June 23.-The senate
committee which was appointed to
make bluff at investigating the cost
Of living and to whitewash the tariff
has performed it's function. 1t
brought in its report this morning
which is all told bundle Of the most
proposterous stuff ever put out by any
committee Of congress, and that is
saying a good deal.
The committee declares that living
is higher in England than 1t Is in
this country. Therefore it can not
be the tariff which causes the high
cost Of living in America. Senator
smith entered vigorous protest
against the committees making any
report at this time.
He, as a member Of the committee.
stated that no real investigation had
been made. Scarcely an item direct
ly affected by the tariff has been in
quired into, neither wooden clothes.
cotton goods. steel manufactures or
any one Of other important items
upon which high duties are levied in
the tariff law in order to raise the
price has been touched.
1t was not expected that the COM
mittee would make q report at this
time, but the necessities of the politi-
cal situation make 1t desirable that
some sort of campaign material shall
be got up. Senator Lodges commit
tee accordingly has set to work with
experts to get up material which
would show that the tariff has moth
ing to do with the high prices to the
consumers, and that the farmers are
the ones whose products are higher
than those Of any others. The three
Democrats on the committee are Sem
ators Johnson, of Alabama, Clark of
Arkansas. and Smith of South Caro-.
lima.
These have no minority report and
Senator Smith Is stirred up about the
whole affair. He declared that sew
eral times he urged upon the other
Democrats on the committee the de-
STABILITY Of getting experts to work
to prepare minority report but that

that there would be no report at this

either a minority or a majority re-
port. and that he intends to at least
show the preposterous fallacies in the
document presented today. He ex-
poets to make another speech on the
subject tomorrow in which he will
take the report to task.

HIGH SCHOOLS FOR MANNING
Practically No Opposition to Levying
OF TwO-Mfll Tax.

Manning, June 23.-The election
held today on the question of levyins
an extra 2-mill tax in the Manning
school district for high school pur-
poses, resulted in a practically unani-
nous vote in favor Of the tax, there
being only four votes polled in oppo-
sition.
Probably it was owing to the fact
that there was SO little opposition tina
the total vote was light. With the in
creased fund that this special tax will
furnish Manning's schools will soon
be second to none in the State.
