Washington, Jinn- 15.?-The with? drawal of linam dal aid to South Caro? lina state Iroope has elicited expres? sion)! of regret. Among the members of the South Carolina delegation In congress today, the greatest regret was expressed when the existing con? dition of affairs became thoroughly k no ah Senator Smith said it was al mos?, inconceivable. Senator Tlllman, when asked by The State's corre? spondent if be had anything to say re? garding the matter, replied that as he saw It there was nothing he Could do to upset the orders of the war depart? ment, hut he WOllId be willing to do whatever might bo possible if he should be requested to act by respon* slble parties in South Carolina. "I shall probably have something to say regarding this matter tomorrow,*' Senator Tillman said, when queried about the situation, "but until some one makes complaint to me, or I have something to work upon, then- is nothing 1 can do." If the members of the different companies affected by the determina? tion of the war department to lend no further assistance, which virutally means that tbo command must be dl*- 1 banded unless the legislature sees lit to appropriate, take the matter up with the South Carolina delegation in congress, it is bar? ly PoOstblc that something might be done, provided that the governor shows I disposition to receive further government aid. Cnlena this is done, however, there Is hut the remotest Ohance that the trops will bo placed in their former position and be allowed to have the same help they have had before the decision of the war department was announced. Tho fact that many of the oldest commands in the State, sonic of which date back many years, are to be de? nied further financial assistance from the government, for reasons now al? ready known, is regretted not only bj the members of the South Carolina delegation by former South Carolin? ians resident in Waehington and by war department officials, but by all who are conversant with the facts in the case.
