Special to The Charlotte OV-crvor
Washington, May 120.? Since
it became known that Senator
.John L. McLaurin was being
considered by the President for
tlieappointment on the Court .-f!
Claims there lias been much ^peculation
over tho probablo attitude
of his collcugue, Senator Tillman,
on tho question of conlirnm-1
tion. As it would bo a departure
probably without a precedent to
oppose the confirmation of a I n-1
ited States Senator to an appointive
oflico, many were of the
opinion that the confirmation of
the junior Senator f.iom the
Palmetto State would go without
saying. It seems, however, that
those who share this view have
underestimated the degree of ha- j
tied which the senior Senator has |
for his colleague, tor Mr. Till
man has been hoard to say: "Mc-j
Laurin is unlit to sit in judgment;
over the interests of others and he ;
will never bo appointed to ajudi i
eiai position with my consent." j
Senator McLaurin has not as vet!
I I
been formally tendered the judgeship
in c|tiesti'jn I>111 the ['rest
dent has tinully disposed of the
matter, and it is known that the
South Carolina Senator now lias |
the appointment in so far us the ,
Chief Executive is concerned. Op- (
position from Tillman to his con-J
tirmation will create an exceedingly
interesting situation. Many
intlucntial South Carolina politi j
cians, friends of Tillman, would!
favor continuation, as they desire!
an appointment from the Governor
to fill out the unexpired term. All
of the half-dozen candidates covin
the Held would he glad to have
the place. ,,

Agony.
Millcdgeville, Ua., May 28.?
Minister NVu Ting-fang delivered
the commencement oration today
to the graduating class of the
Georgia Military College.
In the course of his address Mr
Wu fcpoke feeling of the relations
that should exist between the
governments of the earth and gave
as an instance the generous aid accorded
by the United States to
the island of Martinique in the recent
disaster. He spoke also of
the Boxer trouble in China and alluded
to the skill with which the
Dowager Empress managed the
affairs of state during those times.
Mr. Wu .'eaves in the morning for
Atlanta.
This afternoon at the State insane
asylum, an inmate suddenly
became seized with a mania aud
caught Minister Wu l>v the nnpun
which was hanging down hi*
back. It was jerked and pulled
with great fo rce, causing excruciating
agony. The minister
struggled wildly and when he was
freed from the crazy man's grasp,
he lied from the buildings and got
in nis carriage,(demanding that he i
bediiven bark lo the city at once. !
lie was overtaken by friends and
hi- nerves were quieted.

Two in -?v ting war tiai : storio
w loid yesterday by Senator
B icon,of Georgia. One of
tliera concerned Senator Pcttus,
of Alabama, who, as everybody
knows wu'i a gallant officer in the
Confederate army.
In one of the battles before
Yicksburg, Senato: Potlns, then
x colonel, was captured and carried
as a prisoner beforo Genera!
Grant.
"Cononel," said Grant, when
the prisoner was brought beforo
him, 4'what are those troops out
in front of me?*'
"General," replied Pettus, "1
must decline to answer tho ques- j
t,on- j
General Grant looked him in 1
the eye for a moment. "You j
ire right, colonel," he said. Then j
turning to an officer near by Grant
laid: "Take this gentleman to the ?
-ear and treat him kindly. 1
n-.ii? i "
oouuim x dims iiHs never ior2;otten
that interview with Generil
Grant.
The other atoiy illustrates the t
iame nobility of feeling in Gener- i
il Robert E. Lee, the commander '
)f the Gonfederate forces. t
it was at the close of the battle 1
>f Gettysburg. As General Lee
ode from the field ho came upon
t young Union soldier, u mere
