Proposed Brazilian Flowr Duty.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9. The Senate con
tinues the discussion on the proposed flour
duty, cables the Rio Janeiro correspon
dent of the Herald. Senator Lelte said
that the United States did not deserve
special favors from Brazil. He declared
that the free admission of Brazilian cof
fee was due only to the fact that no
American colony was producing this arti
cle, and that the United States Govern
ment would modify its attitude If one of
its colonies produced coffee enough. He
added that the pending bill could not
change anything, as the Argentine- pro
ducers probably would use barrels in
stead of bags for the export of flour.
Senator Ramlro Barcello Interrupted Sen
ator Lelte, saying: "Then we will adopt
other measures."

rass Instead of Instruct the Jury. The

STEEL PLATE POOL.
AH of the Important Manufacturers
Are in It.
NEW YORK, Dec 9. The Journal and
Advertiser will say tomorrow:
After many conferences, tho details of
a pooling agreement have been completed,
which will Include all the Important man
ufacturers of steel plates. It was origin
ally Intended to form a company which
would combine in one corporation the
snanufacturcrs of steel plates, and would
work In harmony with the United States
Steel Corporation. The capital at first de
cided upon was $50,000,000, but this was
reduced to $23,000,000 when It was found
that the Jones & Laughlin Company
would not sell Its plant to the new con
cern. The second plan has been abandoned
also. Options which were given by the
Lukens Iron & Steel Company and the
Carbon Steel Company were only to be
come operative in case Jones & Laughlin
were included In. the deal. The owners
of these two companies adhered to a strict
Interpretation of the options, and in con
sequence the proposed steel plate com
bination was abandoned. The only solu
tion of the difficulty was the forming of
a pool, which '!S now intact. In the mat
tor of prices for this year, at least, the
arrangement is said to be satisfactory
to all concerned because the prospective
demand Is larger than the possible pro
duction. Will Hr.vc No Duelist In III Army.

port that Miss Ellen M. Stone and Mra.

TILLMAN WAXED HOT.
(Continued from -First Page.)
he thought It would be embarrassing for
him to enter the Democratic caucus. I
then said to him:
" 'You do not wish to be Invited, then?'
and he replied: 'Certainly.' As to the
charge of ulterior motive on my part."
continued Senator Jones. "I am content
to treat It with the contempt it deserves.
It Is a notorious fact that every one seems
to understand, except the Senator from
South Carolina, that there has been no
Democratic caucus at this session of Con
gress. I have no hesitancy, however, in
saying that In a recent conversation with
a leading member of the other side, I
said to him that I did not think the Dem
ocratic caucus could undertake to provide
committee assignments for the Senator
from South Carolina."
Now Tillman Speaks.
Tillman was on his feet when Jones
concluded. In hl9 characteristic way he
answered that, while his name had not
.been mentioned, he realized that rvi was
tho cause of it all. He would not at this
time make an extended reply. Brlelly he
reviewed the controversy between himself
and Senator McLaurln, which led to the
joint tender of their resignations to the
Governor of South Carolina last Spring,
and told of tho Governor's suggestion
that the resignations be withdrawn. Till
man said he contended that the Governor
was simply "a box Into which he had put
letters for the Legislature," and that they
could not undo their act, but McLaurln
had hastened to withdraw Vis letter. Till
man said he had examined the record, and
that of about 200 cases in the history of
the Government, where Senators had re
signed. McLaurln enjoyed the distinction
of being the only one who had wltlvlrawn
his resignation after offering it. As to
McLaurin's charge of conspiracy to hu
miliate him by barring him from the
Democratic caucus, Tillman called atten
tion to the fact that he had not been In
Washington during the extra session of
tho Senate last Spring. "This conspir
acy," he said. "Is a dream conjured up
by him. It 13 a creation of his own
brain."
McLaurln did not reply to Tillman, but.
In replying to Senator Jones, said that ho
did not desire that there should be any
thing personal In his charge that there
had been an "ulterior purpose" In any
thing Yi had done.
Hoar on the Resignations.
Hoar of Massachusetts addressed him
self to the legality of the resignations
which the South Carolina Senators had
sent to the Governor of their state. He
declared that the resignation of a legis
lative officer vacated the office at once,
and that rvj doubted whether such resig
nation could be withdrawn. He said that
Speaker Blaine had so held on one occa
sion in the House, contrary to the Eng
lish notion that a legislative office can
not be resigned. He said that a man
could not be kept In office against his
will, and raised a laugh by observing that
in his opinion neither of the South, Caro
lina Senators had a right to address the
Senate If the statements by Tillman were
correct.
Tillman said he had been of the same
opinion himself, and in withdrawing his
resignation from the Governor of the state
he had added: "If it was- lawful to do
so."
Tillman's Challenge.
He suggested that the judiciary com
mittee look Into the matter, as he should
enjoy nothing so much as washing the
"dirty linen" at home.
Jumping to his feet, McLaurln declared
In ringing tones that he was ready to
meet his colleague at any place or at any
tlme for trw discussion of the Issues be
tween them. Thereupon, In most dra
matic fashion. Tillman challenged his
colleague to resign on the spot. "Let us
draw up the papers now." he said, "and
tender them to this man (pointing to the
presiding officer), and that will settle It."
All eyes were turned upon McLaurln.
but the latter did not rise from his seat
or make reply.
Hoar, explaining In detail the occasion
upon which Speaker Blaine had held that
a resignation Immediately vacated a 6eat
in the House, said a resolution for the ex
pulsion of a member from South Caro
lina was about to be voted upon, and the
member, knowing that the resolution
would be adopted, sent his resignation
to the chair with the Intention of address
ing the House, and then offering It be
fore the vote on the resolution was taken.
As soon as Speaker Blaine saw the na
ture of the communication sent to him
he Immediately declared the seat vacant, I
thus putting an end to all further proceed- f
Ings. Hoar contended that If the facts
bearing upon the case of the South Caro
lina Senators had been correctly stated. It
was doubtful whether they were entitled
to seats upon the floor of t3v Senate at
this time. He thought the committee on
privileges and elections should Inquire
Into the matter. Tillman said if his col
league would prepare any document that
would vacate nls seat as well as his (Till
man's), he would gladly sign it. As long
as ho represented the people on the floor,
he said in conclusion, he proposed to rep
resent them honestly, and not In a fash
ion which was a disgrace to his state.
Lodge at this point announced smil
ingly that while the resolutions were be
ing prepared he would move that the
Senate go into executive session. After
half an hour behind closed doors the
Senate at 2:55 P. M. adjourned.
STATE CLOSES ITS CASE.
Now Defense of Lawyer Sullivan,
Charged With Jury Bribing.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9. With the testimony
of Mrs. Josephine Gordon, sister of ex
Baillff James Lynch, the state closes its
case against Alexander Sullivan, the well
known Chicago lawyer, who Is charged
with havlnff conspired to keep Lynch out
of the state to avoid being tried for jury
hriblng. Mrs. Gordon's testimony and
cross-examination brought out little new
evidence.
The defense will open its case with an
address to the Jury by Attorney P. H.
O'Donnell. Attorney Brady, in outlin
ing the defense, said: "Before we finish
the defense of Alexander Sullivan, we will
prove that the men who stood behind
Lynch in the bribery of Jurors, and who
furnished him with money, came from
the directors of the West Chicago Street
Railway Company: we will show that
this man hired Lynch to bribe jurors in
Job lots of cases, and that he did not
know any of the particulars of the In
dividual cases in which the street rail
way company was defendant."
Brady declared that he would prove
that Attorney Frederick St. John, now
a fugitive, who was Indicted Jointly with
Sullivan, was employed by Lynch to pre
pare his defense after the former bailiff
had been Indicted on charges of jury
bribing.

This is the common complaint of

The only way to cure dyspepsia,
