The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says "as it be comes obvious that there is little chance of the early adoption of legis lation to give the State of South Car olina two full equipped Federal judi cial districts, the pressure upon Pres ident Wilson to go ahead and ap point the successors of District At torney Cochran and Marshal J. Dun can Adams steadily increases." The correspondent then goes on to give the following review of the matter: "Some time ago the department of justice signified to the Incumbents that the Administration wished to have in their positions men who would be In sympathy with its poli cies, and that for this reason the res ignations of Messers Cochran and Adams would be acceptable The re quest was promptly complied with tn both case*, and It was naturally ^ thought that the nominations of [Democratic successors would be made within a few weeks “Prompt dispatch of the business in hand was unquestionably the In tention of the President and the At torney General Hut for the tremen dous fight made by Senator Tillman when he learned that the Preal lent was about to nominate State Sena tor Prsnh H Western for district At tnmey tt is like!? that the Attorney General's recommendetloa of l|r Weston for that place an 1 of Kd'tor J I.

It might be put through the Kenate pretty- eaav. aa both of the h’outh Carolina Senators favored It; but over on the House side the situa tion Is different With all the argu- ments In favor of a new judicial dis trict, it is a long and tedious task to /nduce Congress to agree to it. “When Chairman Clayton, of the House committee on the judiciary, '•rote to Attorney General McRey nolds for an opinion as to the merit of the Alken-Tillman bill, recently Introduced and published in the News and Courier, the reply was dis tinctly unfavorable. Mr. McReynoJds expressed the view that the busines expressed the view that the business of the State did not justify the estab lishment of the proposed new offices at this time. While there have been two districts in South Carolina theo retically since 1 823, the law has pro vided official machinery for only one —and that condition Is apt to contin ue for some years more. "Now, what is President Wilson going to do? Suppose Messrs. Coch ran and Adams should follow the ex ample of their two Republican coil- leagues in the State of Pennsylvania; whose resignation had been submit ted on request, and Insist on retiring without further delay? Such a eon- gency would he embarassiug to e Administration.

Three European nations. Great Britain, Germsny and France, have agreed to adopt no new policy to ward Mexico until the government of the United States can submit for their consideration a definite plan for the future treatment of the revolution- torn republic In Central America. That a request of the Powers to await a proposal regarding Mexico from this government bad been made, and that the three great Euro pean nations had yielded to the re quest, was announced late Tuesday by Secretary Bryan. President Wilson was en route to Washington from the South when the announcement was made, and the Secretary of State did not Indicate what would be the nature of the con templated negotiations with the fore going government*. The Prealdent arrived at Washington late Tuesday night and planned to confer with Mr. Hryan When the note to the Powers If to be presented has not been deter mined. but the belief prevails that reasonable time will be given for the announcement from the Huerta gov ernment tn Mexico, of the reeull of laat Sunday s election for a new gov ernment That thla announcement will be that tha flection of a new President had falle<i» becaua* of the Ineufflclen cy of the vote still Is the e«pe*-t*tlon of officials at Washington and It i* bers of < ong believed President W ilson en 1 fcls ed ,f1r • 'k* vleers ere proceeding on the theory NOT IN SENATE FIGHT LEVER HAS DECIDED NOT TO EN TER THE RACE.

It has been felt that Congressman Lever had made up hia mind not to enter the Senatorial race, and the confirmation of this came Saturday according to the correspondent, from a source reliable and authoritative. The announcement from Congress man I<eve^has been awaited for sev eral weeks. It Is known that strong pressure was brought to bear on him to enter the race for the Senate and it was also reported from reliable quar ters that Senator Tillman was trying to induce Mr. Lever to run for the upper house. It Is known that Con gressman Lever consulted his friends from all parts of the State and he has promised to make a public statement before returning to Washington.

If the President nominates -^ly other man for district attorney than Weston he reverses the Attorney; If he nominates any other man than Weston or Thurmond, he encounters the agreement of the Sen ators to fight a dark horse. As to the marshalship the situation In Itself Is not so Involved, but it is tied up with the attorneyship. "There Is nothing against either Weston or Sims personally—a fact which makes it more difficult to de prive them of their present advan tage. The outlook Is by no means en couraging for a speedy or amicable solution of the mess, which began months ago when Senator Smith re sented the action of Senator Tillman in announcing the endorsement of a candidate for each plfice—thf> attor neyship and the marshalship—with out obtaining the acquiescence of the Junior senator. Senator Smith felt that the Independent announcement of Senator Tillman's endorsements put him (Smith) at a disadvantage, and in a position where it would be easier for him to get hostility than appreciation.

Admiral Fletcher would permit them to remain aboard one of the United State* ships In Mexican waters. Aa to the future treatment of Mex ico by the United States and other nations there has been much discus sion, both at Washington and abroad since the election Sunday under su pervision of the Huerta provisional government. President Wilson, in two public speeches, has outlined a general pol icy of co-operation with all Latin- American nations, and from France and England have come assurances of a desire to co-operate with the United States upon some concerted effort to restore peace and good gov ernment in Mexico. Germany, which recently sent a war vessel to Mexi can waters, now has signifled a de sire to enter such a co-operative peace-making enterprise. That all the foreign nations are looking to the United States to take the initiative is certain, and the sit uation presented makes itjmperative that this government submit a plan. There is much speculation as to what Is to be proposed, Jjut it is declared to be certain that whatever the plan, it will demand the elimination of Huerta and the government which arose after the revolt against Madero, and provide for a Mexican constitu tional election which can be recog nized by the United States.

The wreck occurred in a deep cut at the same place where a fruit train was derailed last spring. When the news reached Greenville a relief train was made up and rushed to the scene bearing doctors, nurses and every possible aid to relieve the In jured. A wrecking crew was also rushed to the scene, and it was by midnight. Following is list of the injured: Badly mangled, B. C.

Though every official of the United States government has been cautlon- atitutlonallsts, depends, in the view ed to maintain absolute silence while the plans of the Washington adminis tration for solving the Mexican prob lem are worked out, it Sunday be came known that a supreme egort is being made to bring about Gen.

Secerelary of the Navy Daniels, when asked concerning the four Am erican ships on the east coast of Mexico, for whose relief four other ships are en route from Hampton Roads, declared that while transfer ultimately was intended, the shipi at Vera Cruz had been notified not to leave until ordered. He declared the nevy department had not decided when it would order the ships to re turn, but that for the present seven or eight America nwarships would be kept in and around Vera Cruz. Though it had generally been sup posed the Huerta government had made nq objection to the presence of the American vessels beyond October 2 6th, the date on which official per mission for them to stay expired, it was learned that no Intimation at any time had been conveyed to the United States, through official channels against the presence of the ships. That the forthcoming week will produce tangible developments In the departmental side—of the situation confidently is expected. President Wil son, Secretary Bryan and his advisers constantly are occupied with the nu merous phases of the situation and are keeping in close touch with the dispatches from Mexico. It Is believed that Huerta’s proclamation as to the result of the election on October 26 will be soon made, and developments of a definite nature am then looked for. President Wilson recently desig nated Thursday, November 27, am Thanksgiving Day, and issued th* following—his first Thanksgiving proclamation: "The season is at hand in Which It has been our kmg reepeeted eastern as s people, to tarn in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His manifold mercies and blessings to ns as s nation.
