GETS ENTIRE VOTE NO EFFORT IS MADE TO DEFEAT SENATOR TILLMAN ^ I DESPITE MANY RUMORS The House end Bonnie, Voting Separately, Carry Out the Wishes of the People Expressed in the Pr)?. , mary Without Dissenting Voice,. Despite Humors to the Contrary. There was no whisper of opposl- 1 tion Tuesday, and so far as the of- 1 licial records will show, the re-elec- ' tion of United States Senator 13. K. Tillman was unanimous. Every voto ' that was recorded in response to the \ call of the clerk, both in the House and in the Senate, was for Benjamin j R. Tillman. If there waa at any time an effort * to organize opposition to Senator ' Tillman, it completely "petered out", and some of those who seemed to be T moot offended by Senator Tillman's A recent communication with refer- ( ence to alleged objectionable in- t liuencea joined in seconding the nomination and recorded their votes in y his favor. ( On the House side there were one . hundred and sixteen votes cast, the other eight members being either ab- . sent or out of the hall at the time. Speaker Smith, among those absent, . was excused by resolution to attend " the opening exorcises of the Corn Ex- , position, but before leaving the hall he asked that his vote be recorded as having been cast for Senator Tillman's re-election. . Formal nomination of Senator ( Tillman for re-election waa made by j Mr. Courtney, of Edgefield, and in so doing ho spoke briefly of the ser- j vices that had been rendered by Sen ator Tillman to the State and nation. ( The House and Senate both hav- 1 ing cast their vote in favor of the ( re-election of Senator Tillman, the balloting being necessary Tuesday ac- , cording to the Federal statutes, there , is nothing further to be done now, except having the two houses meet ( in joint assembly, when the result ( will bo formally ratified and Senator , Tillman will, on the fourth or Marcn, as the result of his unanimous re- ( election Tuesday, begin his fourth , term as United States Senator from South Carolina. There was not at any time the slightest possibility of the defeat of Senator Tillman because the mem- ' hers of both branches were pledged to abide by the result of the primary. The only thing might have been a delay, which might possibly have re- ( suited in complications or the tying , up of the election by the presenta- i tion of "favorite sons", but it all . vanished when the show-down came ( and all realized that the members could not have voted against the re- ( suit of the primary whatever may , have been their feeling with refer- j ence to the charges that might have ( hurt the feelings of some. All seem- ( ed to realize that the whole thing is 1 the game of politics.

SICKLES IN TROUBLE UNDER CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING PUBLIC MONEY. Gen. Ixmg?treot'H Widow Offers Aid and Hays Old Confederate Soldiers Will Raise Amount Due. A New York dispatch says Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, widow of tho famous Confederate general, come to the aid of her husband's civil war foe, Qen. Daniel E. Sickles, Monday, with an offer to raise $23,47 0 among tho "raggod and maimed followers of Lee," to pay Gen. 8Ickles' alleged debt to the State of New York. Sheriff Harburger, who arrested Gen. Sickles in tho civil suit brought by tho State to recover the money, also directed a letter to many of the richest men in New York asking 11? nM Vi.? acrnH votaran lUt'lU IW U1U WUV Ur^VV4 ? WW. In a telegram sent to Gen. Sickles from Galnosville, Ga., Mrs. Longstreet said she had telegraphed to the Attorney General of the State of New York that she would raise the money among the Confederate Veterans if allowed sufficient time. "The Republic, whose battles you fought, will not permit your degradation," were her closing words to Gen. Sickles. The sheriff addressed his letter to J. P. (Morgan, Joliu D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and the 4 50 members of the sheriff's panel!, composed of wealthy New Yorkers. Sheriff I-Iarburger dealt gently with his prisoner. Instead of serving the order of arrest he waited until Gen. Sickles' lawyer, Daniel P. Hays, had arranged with a surety company for a $30,000 bond for the veteran's freedom. Mr. Hays brought, it to the sheriff's office and they went to Gen. Sickles' 5th avenue residence Monday afternoon. "Well," the sheriff greeted him, "it's a bit of formal business to-day. You know I have to serve yen with the papers; I'm sorry I have to do so, but I have no choice. "It is all right," Gen. Sickles replied, tossing the unopened order and complaint or his linraiy table. ?<v?? ono of tlu? brst friends I've i. U U U I V/ W*?v/ _ got, sheriff.'* Tliey placed the bond before the general and he signed it in a (lowing hand. "That handwriting is not so bad for a man who is more than 92 years old, sheriff," he commented. "It cost me $600 to get this bond." There was a fee of $5.25 owing the county for service of the papers. Gen. Sickles summoned Miss Edith Wilmerdlng, his housekeeper, to pay it. She came into the room with her hands full of pennies, tripped on a rug and scattered them over the floor. The general assisted in picking them up. When the sheriff left Gen. Sickles shook hands with him and renewed his declaration of friendship. The issuance of the bond makes it. unnecessary for the sheriff to place Gen. Sickles in jail, as he feared Saturday he might have to do. The sheriff said Monday afternoon he thought the case would be speedily brought to trial at Albany. WOULD LEGALIZE RACING.

Mflurs and Courier Bays Qen C. Irvine Walker has Just returned from a conference of the Pennsylivania Gettysburg Commission, with the representatives from the various States, Governor Tenor of Pennsylvania and others, held last week at Philadelphia. The meeting was a most pleasant and profitable one. Much pi ogress was made in the nocissary iTan'.ements f t the fr ?*. celebration to be held July 1?4. The only matter of general interest to the South was the conclusion reached as to the Confederate Veterans appearing in their grey and bearing their colors at the celebration At the first Conference, held October, 1910, it was agreed that it was best for all that all Veterans appear in citizens' dress, as American citizens and not as soldiers, and that only the flag of the country should bo displayed upon tho field. This gave great dissatisfaction to many Veterans, Union as well as Confederate. Just about as many posts of the G. A. R. wanted to appear in blue as there were camps of U. C. V. who wished to come in grey. The matter was brought up and most forcibly presented by Gen. Felix H. Robertson, commanding the Texas division, U. C. V., and representative I from Texas. Among other things he said: "Wo were forced into the lln-| ' : ? #> av'; ;hnt von take US I I \ 711 . ,lliV? ovn ..xv w... . as we arc. Allow the old CoufederI otos to go to Gettysburg in their tattered uniforms. If you decide that these grey uniforms must ho left at home, a large number of those who wear them will refuse to attend the great encampment." Gen. J. Thompson Brown, representative from Virginia, and Sergt. J. C. Scarborough, representative from North Carolina, thought every one should wear what he pleased. Gen. C. Irvine Walker said that Veterans of both armies will certainly wear their badges; why not their uniforms if they want to?" The discussion was closed and the question settled, when Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, said: "I want it well understood by the whole Confederate soldiery that you are coming as guests of the State of which I have the honor to be the Chief Executive, and it will make no difference to him or the State whether the man from the South comes in citizens' attire or wears the old grey uniform. Whether the uniform bo blue or grey, the wearer will he heartily welcome. No one has greater admiration for the Confederate soldier and for the superb manner in which he fought his battles than I have. As Pennsylvania is tho host, all that need concern you, as representatives of the several states, is the bringing of your Veteran soldiers here. Pennsylvania will do the rest, and we hope our guests will enjoy the occasion as much as we will." The hospitable words of Governor Tener were received with great applause, and thus it was decided that the old Confederates could come as they pleased and would be most warmly welcomed. A mosl marked feature of the conference wat i the respect and consideration showr . the representatives of the Southerr > States, and the cordial comradeshij . shown by the Union Veterans. None of the Southern States, bu * several of the other states, have ye 3 mado appropriations to pay th< 3 transportation of their Veterans? V not for want of interest, but from th o financial difficulties which embarras - them. So, the Confederate Veteran e who go will have to pay their ow transportation expenses, but will b cared for when they reach the fielc [. The United States Government an the State of Pennslivania are erec! ing a modern camp to accomodate a least 4 0,000 Veterans, and under th skillful direction of Major J. E.

The expedition consisted of the j 4th, 31st, and 40th companies of Phillippine Scouts, a detachment of American troops with a field gun and some Moro Phillippine . constabulary, making probably a full battalion of troops. This force was sent against a cotta, six miles west of Jolo, whore a large band of Moros had been a standing menace to the city and the garrison at Taglibi for a long time. The Moros had not hesitated to attack the American troops-in camp and it was decided to break the power of the chief, Sahipa. The Moro position was strongly defended by walls, bamboo entanglements and deep ditches. Gen. Pershing reported that the attacking force was handlded with great skill and the filial assault, which carrieu the cotta, was characterized by many individual acts of gallantry. Captain McNally and six enlisted men of the United States forces were killed and some twenty or more wounded In battle, but it is thought that the Moros will give no moro trouble soon, as they were given a severe lesson.
