Mr Johos Briefly Seta Forth Hia I Reasons in a Letter to The State Chairman. < The State. If the entry of Mr A C Jones 1 into the senutorinl race against '1 Senator Tillman created surprise, the announcement that he has changed his mind and withdrawn from the race will doubtless create even more surprise. This ho has done, however, and Senator Tillman succeeds himself in the upper house of congress without opposition. Yesterday State Chairman Wilie .Jones received a letter from Mr Jones asking that his pledge I he withdrawn and stating the rea- ( sons for this action. Mr Jones set forth that his business would not permit him to make the canvass as thoroughly as he desired and that he did not see the nece*? sity for finishing the race. Co| Jones, not having the permission of the writer, did not make the letter public. Col Jones immediately upon re coipt of the letter wired Mr Jones saying that the pledge would be withdrawn, and telling Mr Jones to draw on him as chairman of the State executive committee for the amount nf tk? vuv ?D?Duninriiij which will b? returned. This leares Senator Tillman without possible opposition and means that he succeeds himself in * Nursing Mothers X ffi dread hot weather.

This is the first change in the political outlook in this State since the campaign oponed. There has never since the time for closing tho entries came been the slightest doubt that Senator Tillman would succeed himself, overwhelmingly defeating Mr Jones, but the latter's action yesterday makes plainer sailing for tho senior senator and removes tho necessity for any kind of a contest at tho polls. Americans are Fighting the imperial Troopo. Washington, June 23?The Navy Department thin morning received a dispatch from Admiral KempfT stating that an engagement is now in progress between the United States marines and other forces against the Chinese army outside Tien Tsin. The following bulletin has been been issued by the War Department: "Acting Secretary Hackett has this inoining received a dispatch from Admiral Kempff, tinted Chofoo, Juno 23, to the effect that the murines under Major Walter, together with 400 Russians, have had an engagment with the Chinese army neur Tien Tsin. They could not break through the line. A force numbering 2,000, Admiral Kempff reports, is now ready to make another attempt." The main importance of this dispatch is Kempff's disclosure that it is the Chinese army and not the Boxers who are fighting the foreign troops. The secretary of State on Friday issued a commission to t.he Darlington Oil and Ice Manufacturing company of Darlington, which is to have f 30,000 capital stock. The toUl land army of China on peace footing is put at 300, 500 men, and on war footing at ibout 1,000,000. :ong 01 ??? ??mmmm* (1 bargains.
