! Tillman Shuns Investigation.
i Anxious tw Prevent Inquiry Into
His Chorees Against McLaurin.
Washington, March 27.?Scnn-!
tor Tillman of South Carolina is,
, anxious to prevent tho proposed i
investigation of his charges against
his colleague, Senator McLaurin
^ in accordance with tho tonus of
Senator Pritchurd's resolution,
now pending before the commit..
io? on irivuegei uiul Flections. j
Senator MeLauriu wants the in
1
vesligation and is supported by
Senators Mannar mid Fritchard.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
i
commutes, however, desires to
eleer clear of an investigation.
Tillman's charge wus that MoLaurin
gave his vote for the ratification
of the treaty of peace
with Spain in exchange for Federal
patronage.
How Senator McLaurin's vote 1
i
was obtained was long ago explained
by Republican senators, i
i who shortly before tho vote on the
f eaty was taken Fob. 0, 1800,
secured from Senators McLaurin

to form tho two-thirds ma,

at tin? time that they had ippcal . |

appeal which was made effective

Another Bill Vetoed.
, And the President Questions
Course of Congress in Passing
It.
Washington, March 28.?Presi
dent lioosevelt today sent to the
house a veto of the hill for the
relief of Emanuel Clauser from
the charge of desertion.
The president says this hill,
like the senate hill in case of
J nines W. Howell, not only authorized
the president to net hut i
nlso orders the secretary of war
to revoke and set aside the order
approving the proceedings, find
isgs and sent once of a general
court martial, and to grant an
honorable discharge.
"It. appears to imply," says i
the president, "the possession by
congress of the power to overrule
land reverse by statute u valid
, Judgment. If it did not do that
it was simply mi exercise of the
I pardoning power. It is questionable
whether congress possesses
either of these powers; and when
the hill directed the secretary of
war to revoke an order, congress
in fact did the thing which it i
j ordered him to do."

Ex-Judge C. P. Towisend
Chosen.
To Displace IV A. Hagood, a Re.
publican of Highest Standing-,
us Assistant District Attorney.
Special to The State.
Charleston, Murch 'JS.?It was
announced hero today that Mr. B.
A. litigood, assistant district att},
had "resigned" and that ho would
do succeeded by ex.Judge C. P.
l'otvnaend of Bennettsville. This
is evidentally the work of Senator
McLaurin.
The removal of Mr. Ha&ond.
tJ '
for it id practically a removal, will
not i?o uppieciateft by his friends
?and he has a great many personal
friends in Charleston. Mr:
Hagood is u young uian, has been
a Republican all of his life, yet
his allegiance to that party Rub
not been of such a nature that ho
has not been regarded in publie
estimation as are those Republicans
who attend the State conven.
tions whoro the negro element is
so vividily in evidence.
Mr. Hagood is the son of Col.
Hagood, clerk of the federal court,
and a most estimable citizen. The
vounger Mr. Hagood is a member
of the prominent and representative
clubs of ?ho city and is personally
a very popular young man.
Ho was, in a measure, regarded as
ii strong link between Republicanism
and McLtuuinism and his removal
will have its effect upon
those who might have .bad some
iden of leaving the regular Demo-' y
cratic ranks. ' 1
Judge Townsend was a circuit
judge in the State court under the
old Republican regime. Later he
was assistant attorney general
under Mr. Barber, and he then
went t<> Washington as Senator
McLanrin's private secretary. He
has the reputation of having very
keen intellectual powers.
