THE CITY ABOUT TO FALL
ADRIAXOPLE MAY HOLD OUT
ONE WEEK LONGER.
Disease and Famine Have Done Their
Deadly Work Among the Turkish
Soldiers.
A despairing cry of “I can hold
out only a week longer" was sent in
cipher by wireless Wednesday from
Shukrl Pasha, Turkish commander of
Adrianople, to his superior officers
at Constantinople, according to un
official reports.
Shukrl Pasha, who has held out
for many months against the hun
dreds of siege guns of the Bulgarians
and Servians, is said to have inform
ed the Porte in his message that
Adrianople is practically at the end
of Its supplies of food and ammuni
tion, while there is much sickness,
especially scurvy and intestinal dis
orders, which are ravaging the de
fenders’ ranks.
The commander, who has offered
such a long rfnd gallant defense,
urges either that peace negotiations
be hastened, or that an immediate
attempt to relieve the city be under
taken from the Tchatalja lines.
The Turkish ministry is divided In
dpinlon and will have difficulty in
reaching any solution of the problem
raised by the commander of the be-
seiged fortress.
The ferment aroused by the mur
der of the late Nazim Pasha con
tinues to threaten internal trouble
in Turkey. At.a service at Constan
tinople Wednesday In memory of
Nazim, the officiating ^Mussulman
priest pronounced a malediction on
his assassins and on "those who have
deceived the Sultan of Turkey, the
head of the Muasulman faith".

flocked to the Capital since the In

or the Senator condemned the scram

reminded him of a Bible text:
"I have forgotten Just where In
Holy writ I read it." he said, "but it
fits the case exactly and runs some
thing as follows: ‘The wild asses of
the desert are athirst and hungry
They have broken Into the green
corn ’
The Senator recalled that the text
contained a reference to the "wild
asses" trampling down the corn, but
he said he would leave that out. He
added that he had full faith in Pres
ident Wilson as a herdsman who
would keep the wild beasts from do

SENATDI TILLMAN AFT T§ GET
HAT HE WANTS
MARTAIN FIGHTING HIM
Information from High Authority
Puts the Senior South Carolina
Senator Chairman of the Senate's
Second Most Powerful Committee,
for which He Has Expressed Pre
ference-—
A special dispatch to The News
and Courier says Friday night the
final decision of the Democratic steer
ing committee of the Senate, with re
gard to the committee assignments of
Senators, may be reached, though
it will not be announced In all pro,-
bability until Monday.
The case which is stirring up the
greatest amount of trouble at the last
moment is that of Senator Tillman,
who persists in his determination to
have the chairmanship of the big ap
propriations committee, of which he
is the ranking Democratic member.
It Is understood that if Senator
Tillman is not recommended by the
steering committee for the chairman
ship of appropriations, Senator Mar
tin, of Virginia, will be designated
for that important place and the
South Carolina Senator put at the
bead of naval affairs.
While Senator Martin and Senator
Tillman have been friends, as a rule,
for many years, the South Carolina
Senator believes that the Virginia
Senator is making a good fight ^to
displace him aa chairman of the ap
propriations committee.
Senator Tillman aaid to-night:
"I am not going to get out of ti e
way. I am more of a progressive
than Senator Martin ever dared t")
be, and last summer, when he was
vigorously opposing President Wil
son and doing all he could to keep
him from being nominated at Balti
more, I was backing Wilson as
staunchly as I could; In fact. I be
lieve the attitude of the South Car
olina delegation had a gre>at deal to
do with the achievement of his i.omi
nation."
Senator Tillman Is believed to
have the warm support of Secretary
of State Bryan in his flgh: to ,,“t the
appropriations chairmanship. I ne
steering committee is disturbed by
the threat that the Pitchfork Senator
will appeal to the Democratic cau
cus and Invite it to ,-evop if t),o
committee denies him what he r r -
garda as hla right. T1 ? situation
an ong the Senate l)emo. r a's is tense
and dramatic, with posa ‘liluiej uf a
tremendous explosion
Information late In the dav In I’.at-
ed also that Senator Tillman had
won his personal fight to secure the
chairmanship of Hie appropriations
committee, the second most powerful
committee of the Senate. Persistent
< fforts had been made for several
da\ s to indue? the South Carolina
S* nator to surrender his priority
right to Senator Martin, of Virginia,
and to take the chairmanship of na
val affairs. It was stated Friday
night on high authority, however,
that the place practically was assur
ed to Senator Tillman.
ELECTS DEMOCRAT SENATOR
The Deadhxk in New Hampshire
Legislature Broken
A dispatch from Concord, N. H ,
says Henry K. Hollis, Democrat, was
elected I’nited States Senator by the
legislature Friday. Hollis received
1N9 votes, three more than the num
ber required to elect. John H. "Bart-
le.tt, the new Rooublican caucus can-
cfldafe, had 'iT" Representative
Bass, Progressive, ft yl 12.
The deadlock which l»*d continued
since the daily balloting began lan--
uary 14 was broken by three Demo
cratic members from Manchester,
who said they had hitherto "opposed
the Hollis candidacy on principle,"
but now felt 'hat It would be wrong
to cor,"rue h uger as obstructionists.
Two Republican members and all but
two Democrats supported the suc
cessful candidate.
The newly elected senator is a
lawyer and a Harvard graduate He
is 4 2 years old. He was an unsuc
cessful candidate for governor and
for congress'on several occasions.
The election of Senator Hollis arous
ed great enthusiasm in Democratic
circles in the United States Senate
at Washington.
The election of Senator Hollis
makes the political complexion of the
Senate at present as follows: Dem
ocrats 50, Republicans 42, Progress
ives 2. * Two vacancies exists from
the State of Illinois. Arrangements
were made Friday by the Democratic
steering committee to award the new
Senator his quota of committee plac
es. “Good,” was President Wilson’s
exclamation when told of the elec
tion of Mr. Hollis.

They Further Decide to Name Re
spective Candidates for District At
torney and Let Wilson Decide.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier eays Senators
Tillman and Smith, of South Caro
lina, held a conference Wednesday
afternoon. After it was over Senator
Tillman announced that be had filed
with Attorney General McReynolds
his endorsement of Mr. James L.
Sims, of Orangeburg, to be United
States marshal for the district of
South Carolina, in addition to that of
Mr. J. Wm. Thurmond, to be district
attorney, which was filed Monday.
Further than this, the senior Senator
would say nothing on the subject.
Senator Smith made the statement
that he had filed with the President
and the Attorney General his en
dorsement of Francis H. Weston, of
Columbia, to be district attorney.
The junior Senator refused to am
plify this statement.
Both of the South Carolina Sena
tors saw President Wilson Wednes
day. Senator Tillman presented for
the President’s consideration certain
papers explaining his opposition to
the nomination of Charles P. Neill,
to be commissioner of labor statistics.
It is believed here that there is a
decided likelihood that Capt. W. F.
Gonzales will he appointed United
States minister to CJba.
There is also an impression that
the candidacy of Judge C. A. Woods,
of Marion, for circuit Judgeship va
cated by the election of Judge Goff
to the Senate from West Virginia,
has made very encouraging headway.
Former Governor John Gary Evans
had an audience with President Wil
son Thursday. Governor Evans says
that he himself Is not a candidate for
any office.
Both Senators Agree on Kims.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says Senators
Tillman and Smith have agreed on
James L Sims, of Orangeburg, as
their Joint candidate for United
States marshall of the district of
South Carolina, and have also agreed
to name their respective candidates
for district attorney
Senator Tillman has subrwjtted the
name of William J Thurmond, of
Edgefield, for latter office, and Sen
ator Smith, the name of Francis H
Weston, of Columbia It is under
stood that the candidates named by
the President will have the support
of both of the South Carolina Sena
tors for confirmation.
This is the outcome of what bade
fair for a time to he complete dis
agreement between the senior and
ttie junior Senators as to these items
