DROPS HINT ABOUT SECOND.
WHALEY, LEVER, AIKEN, AND
NICHOLS SEE BAKER CON-
CERNING RETURN OF
TROOPS.
Wl,aley Thinks Secretary Means Reg

men.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Secretary of
War Baker today told Congressman
r. 8. Whaley and Representatives
Lever. Aiken and Nichols, who ac-
companied him, that the same reasons
urged for the return Of the Second
South Carolina regiment from tho
Mexican border are urged by every
other State having troops there; that
the reasons for return In one case
would apply to all, and that he would
not go over Gen. Funston's head and
order any regiment back. While not
promising an early return of the State
troops, Secretary Baker said that GER
tain things were taking place from
which his visitors could draw their
own conclusions. Commenting on this
hint Mr.. Whaley said:
ss<AAr from thiz remark that the
Secretary had reference to the with
drawal Of Pershing's column from
Mexico to the border, in which case
regulars will take the place of militia
and the State regiments will return
home. Although no definite date can
be set, still believe it is not in the
distant future. but at a reaonably
early time"
Senators Tillman and Smith and
Representative Byrnes went to the
war department previously this week
with Mr.. ,Whaley when Secretary Ba-.
ker had to break the engagement be-
cause of being called to a congress
sional committee meeting.
Congressman r. s. whaley has re-
ceived the following interesting letter
from the war department in oonnec-
ton with the congressman's efforts to
get the Second South Carolina regi-
ment back from the Mexican border:
