TILLMAN AND M’LAURIN OUT
Both of South Carolina’s Senators
Send In Their Resignation.
'I
Outcome of Joint Debate at Gaffney
Was an Unexpected Denou
ment and Tremendous
Sensation.
During the joint debate between
Senators McLaurin and Tillman, at
Gaffney, ’ S. C., Saturday, the latter
re P>> , ln . S a remark , of . „ McLaurin, T
stated that he was willing to resign
his seat in the United States senate
if McLaurin would and, with him, go
before the people as candidates for re
election. the one against, .ae other.
The challenge was quickly accepted,
and after the meeting was over both
men wrote and mailed their resigna
tions to Governor McSweeney, thus
leaving the Palmetto state without a
representative in the upper branch of
the national congress, a situation
which has not obtained since the days
of reconstruction.
Among those who realize the import
of the resignations it created a sensa
tion. It was the most startling and
dramatic incident in South Carolina's
startling politics for very many years,
and the very novelty of the situation
leaves considerable doubt as to the
procedure.
The joint debate was the most inter
esting political event in South Caro
lina since the famous Tillman cam
paigns of 1890 and 1892. Senators Till
man and McLaurin occupy antagonis
tic attitudes on questions of national
politics, and as a result their personal
relations have become greatly strain
ed. This was made manifest in the
course of their debate, and some of
the passages between them were in
tensely exciting. Tillman is the su
perior of McLaurin as a campaign
speaker, but the latter is full of ear
nestness and spirit, and holds up his
end of the argument with vigor. He
had many supporters in the crowd and
his strong points were warmly cheer
ed. The majority of those present ap
peared to be with Tillman, however,
and this gave him the advantage.
Tillman’s Version.
“McLaurin made a bluff at me,” said
Tillman after the discussion was over,
"and didn't think I’d call him. 1 felt.
that after I had made an assault in his
honesty and integrity of purpose, he
tried to parry that by taunting me
with the assertion that I wouldn’t
leave my six years’ bomb-proof. I saw
the opportunity to make a ten strike
for democracy, and I was rsady to
take it, regardless of the personal
sacrifice. I want South Carolina to
say whether she wants two democrats
or two republicans in the senate. If
the people don’t want to re-elect me,
I don’t care to serve them. I shall
announce my candidacy to succeed my
self, and will take such other steps
as I find desirable. I regard it for
tunate that this is an off year, so that
we can discuss these national issues
without any trading and combinations,
the voters can live upon these issues
wthout outside influence. If I relieve
the state of eighteen months of Mc
I-aurin, I think I am entitled to some
credit and thanks. If a commercial
democrat isn’t a republican, 1 don’t
know what he is. If McLaurin Is a
democrat, I am not. I want the people
to decide between us.”
McLaurin’s Comment.
Senator McLaurin, when asked
about the resignation, said:
"Tillman made a bluff today and I
called him. I put him in a position
where he either had to resign and go
Into a sensational race with me, or
confess he was bluffing and was afraid
to risk his political scalp, though will
ing to knife me in a campaign in
which he was not a candidate and had
nothing at stake. All I desire is a
free, fair and open fight witu Tillman
on the issue upon which -we differ. I
earnestly hope mat all others will
keep out of our race and run for the
other senatorship, so that Tillman and
I may meet as man to man and fight
it out. He said he was unwilling to
bulldoze me into a joint debate with
him, if I was afraid to meet him, and
1 hope he will not show himself
afraid to meet me in the senatorial
race. I hope he will not get any of
his strikers into the race to dodge be
hind, but will meet me in it alone.”
Governor Has Resignations,
Governor McSweeney at Columbia,
Sunday morning, received, on the
train while preparing to go to Chieka
manga, the official resignations of Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin, dated at
Gaffney, May 25th. to take effect Sep
tember 15th next. When asked what
he had to say about the matter, Gover
nor McSweeney said:
"The resignations of Senators Till
-

man and McLaurin as United States
senators was received by me in tho
mail this morning as 1 was leaving
Tor ChlcUonmugft, the resignations to
take effect September 15th. i will not
take the consideration ot these re
signations till I return to my office. At
the present I have nothing to say and
no comment to make upon the action
of these gentlemen.”
The meeting has created great in
terest all over the state on account of
its being the first between the two
senators since their difference became
emphasized, and there was a large at
tendance from other counties.
Interest at National Capital.
A Washington special says: Sena
tor Tillman has resigned his seat in
the senate for the purpose of forcing
Senator McLaurin to meet him on the
stump. That is the view which South
Larolinans in Washington take of the
announcement that both senators have
resigned. They are at a loss to un
derstand, however, what object Sena
tor McLaurin could have had in re
signing, for they believe he can have
no hope of re-election. Whatever may
be the explanation o. the rourse of
the junior senator, it is not doubted
that these resignations are the pre
lude of the most sensational political
fight that has occurred in the Palmet
to state in recent years—a fight in
which personalities will be indulged
in with the utmost freedom.
Ever since Senator McLaurin broke
over the party lines in the senate and
refused to follow the democratic party
in opposing the peace treaty, the Han
na ship subsidy bill, the army bill and
other measures, Senator Tillman has
been axious to break a lance with his
independent young colleague. Senator
McLaurin, in his recent speeches in
North and South Carolina, has resent
ed the attempt of Senator Tillman and
other leading decorats of the state to
criticise his independent attitude, and
has indulged in certain reflections
upon Senator Tillman and others who
differ with him, which Incensed Sena
tor Tillman so much that he issued a
forma! challenge to Senator McLaurin
to go upon the stump and jointly de
bate tlie questions at issue before the
voters of the state. Senator McLaurin
declined to accept Senator Tillman's
challenge on the ground that the lat
ter was not a candidate for re-election
to the state senate. McLaurin inti
mated that he would cheerfully debate
the issues of the campaign with any
of the avowed candidates for the posi
tion he now holds. Senator Tillman
had just been re-elected for a second
term in the senate, his election being
practically unanimous. His resigna
tion is doubtless for the purpose of
placing him on an equal footing with
the other rivals of Senator McLaurin
and thus forcing the latter to meet
him upon the hustings.
STREET CARS IN AWFUL CRASH
Five People Instantly Killed and Many
Hurt In Trolley Accident
at Albany, N. Y.
A special from Albany, N. Y.. says:
Electric cars racing for a switch, while
running in opposite directions at the
rate or forty miles an hour, cost, five
lives Sunday afternoon by a terrific
collision in which over forty promi
nent. people were injured, some fatal
ly and others seriously.
The lobby of the local post office
tilled with dead and wounded, hyster
ica! women and children looking for
relatives and friends, surgeons'admin
istering temporary relief and ambu
lances rarng through the city taking
the wounded to hospitals, were the
early intimations of the accident.
The scene of the accident was a
point about two miles out of Green
bush, on the line of the Albany and
Hudson railway. The point where the
cars met. on the single track was at a
sharp cure, and so fast were both run
ning and so sudden the collision, that
the motorman never had time to put,
on the brakes before the southbound
car had gone almost clean through the
other car and hung on the edge of a
high bluff. One motorman was pin
ioned up against the smashed front of
the southbound car with both legs sev
ered and instantly killed, while the
other one iived but a few minutes.
Fully 120 men, women and children
formed a struggling, shrieking pyra
mid. mixed with blood, detached por
tions of human bodies and the wreck
age of the cars, Some of tin more
slightly injured of the men extricated
themselves and began to pull peoplc
out of the rear ends of the two cars.
and almost every one was taken out
in this way, and nearly all were badly
injured.

m F ‘® DE ™
English Ruler Narrowly Escapes
In Wreck of a Yacht.
caught in a sudden squall
Sir Thomas Upton's New Cup Chal- j
lenger Was Almost Smashed
to Kindling Wood By
Wind and Waves.
A London special says; During the
race between the two Shamrocks and
the Sybarita, in the Solent Wednes
day, a sudden squall struck the
yachts. The topmast of the Shamrock
II was carried away and then her
mainmast went by the board, carry
ing all her sails with it and leaving
her practically ft wreck. The top sail
of the Shamrock I was also carried
away in the squall. The disaster oc
curred while preparations were being
made for the start off the Brambles
buoy.
The accident euibngcrod the life of
King Edward and s-.o -ral distinguish
ed persons on board, including Sir
Thomas Upton. The results of the
disaster, which could scarcely recur
without great loss of life, can best be
judged by the statement made by Sir
Thomas Upton as follows:
“My deepest regret is that today’s
accident prevents me from toeing the
mark at the appointed hour and com
pels me to ask the New York Yacht
Club to grant me an extension of
time. If they will he good enough to
do that J shall race, even if I havo to
build a boat between now anil the
date agreed upon. I still believe the
Shamrock II a boat worthy to be the
challenger and that, when this unfor
tunate chapter of accidents comes to
an end, she will still stand a good
chance of lifting the cup. I have not
a single complaint to make against
my boat.
“For the many telegrams of sympa
thy received from America today I
am deeply grateful. No one is more
thankful than 1 am that the catastro
phe ended without fatality, and 1 may
perhaps say that throughout the try
ing moments his majesty was as brave
as a lion. His first thought was to in
quire if any one was Injured.”
Yacht a Pitiful Wreck.
Circumstances have reduced the
Shamrock II to a pitiful, sparless
wreck. She now lies ofT Hythc. The
story of tho catastrophe ts host, told
by Sir ThomaR Upton himself. After
seeing his royal guest off to London,
Sir Thomas made the following state
ment:
“We had Just begun to make for
the starting line when a fierce breeze
sprang up. King Edward, Lady Lon
donderry, Mrs. Jameson, Mr. Watson,
Mr. Jameson and myself were on
deck, hanging on as best we might,
for the challenger was almost at an
angle of '5 degrees. The king started
to go below. Just as he did so every
thing collapsed. A heavy block fell
between the two ladies and a wire
| rope struck me on the head and mo
mentarily stunned me. A sudden
squall, an unexpected strain and ev
erything had given way. King Ed
ward was half in and half out of the
companion hatchway. Wliat happen
ed, how all the falling spars uml
sweeping sails did not kill or sweep
some one overboard is more than 1
know. When 1 came to I saw the king
clambering over the wreckage trying
to discover the extent of the damage
and asking; ’Is any one hurt?’”

Constitution and Flag Do Not Go To
gether, Says Decision—Con
gress May Dictate—Four
Justices Dissent.
The United States -supreme court
Monday handed down opinions cover
ing all of the issues on tho new insu
lar possessions whtcu have been in
controversy.
Although several of tho decisions
upheld tho contestants on certain is
sues raised, yet the most Important
decision, that of Downes against Bid
well, Justice Brown announces tho
sweeping decision of the court uphold
ing the general attitude and policy of
the government up to the present
time.
The effect of tilts decision ts to af
firm t he constitutionality of the For
nker ftet and to give congress power
to deal with a newly acquired terri
tory In such manner as the legislative
branch may consider suitable for the
new territory The declaration also
has the effect or declaring that the
new insular possessions do not by vir
tue of the treaty of cession acquire
all the privileges and rights of the
constitution.
Of the several cases decided Mon
day tlie two which attracted the great
est share of attention from the court
were what iR known mt the Do Lima
case and that known an the Downes
case, and of those two the opinion In
the Downes ease Is considered the
most far reaching, as It affects the
future, whereas the Pe Lima case
dealt with a transitional phase of our
insular relations.
What Do Lima Case Involved.
The Do Lima case involved the pow
or of the government to collect duty
on goods Imported Into the United
States from Porto Tltro after the rati
fication of the treaty of Parts and be
fore the passage of the Porto Uican
act. The court until the government’s
contention in this case was substan
tially a claim that Porto Rico Is a for
elgn territory. The entire case turn
cd upon that, contention, i he court
held that the position was not well
taken; that Porto Rico was not at
the time foreign territory, and that
therefore (lie duty which hail been
collected must he returned.
The decision In the Downes case fol
lowed the history of the dealings of
the government of United States with
Porto Rico a step further. That case
dealt with the legality of Die exaction
of duties on goods Imported from
Porto Rico Into New York after the
passage of the Foraker act, providing
for a duty on goods shipped from the
United States into Porto Rico, and
also on those shipped from Porto Rico
to the United States. In this case
the court held that such exaction was
legal and constitutional.
The point of tho two opinions con
sidered collectively is that Porto Rico
was never after the acquisition of
that island foreign territory; that un
til congress acted upon the question
no duty roulil be collected, but that,
as soon as congress outlined a mettiod
of controlling the Island’s revenues,
that acton became binding; In other
words, that congress has power un
der the constitution to prescribe the
manner of collecting the revenues of
the country's insular possessions, and
has the right to lay a duty on goods
Imported into our insular possessions
from the United States, or exported
from them into the United States. It
holds, in brief, that, for taxation pur
poses, they are not a part of the Uni
ted State s to the extent that, goods
shipped between their ports and the
United States are not entitled to the
same treatment as though they were
shipped between New York and New
Orleans.
Dissenting Opinions.
The chief dissenting opinion la the
Downes case was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller, Justices Harlan, Brew
< r and I’cckham Joining In the dissent.
He said the majority, though widely
differing In their reasoning, seemed to
concur in the view that Porto Rico be
longs to the United States, but never
theless is not a part of the United
States, subject to the provisions of the
constitution In respect to taxes.
Justice Harlan said: “In my opln
Ion congress has no existence and can
exercise n« authority outside of the
constitution. The idea that this conn
try may acquire territories anywhere
'""f 1 .. ,h ", 7. .. ' fcy ron ' "" Hl r aty
l "
ami hoW them as mere colonies or
provinces, Is wholly Inconsistent with
the spirit and genius as with the words
of the constitution. It. will be an evil
,lay t° r American liberty if the theory
of a government, outside of the su
preme law of the land finds lodgment
in our constitutional Jurisprudence.”
