x
Mode of Punishment of Till
man and McLaurin.
LEFT TO A SUB - COMMITTEE
Democratic Effort to Have It Made
Light Opposition to Dlscrira-
laatloH Bctrreen tie Two
Senators.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. The meeting
of the Senate committee on privileges and
elections this forenoon did not result In
supplying any solution of the difficulty
that the Senate is in in connection with
the Tlllman-McLaurln matter. The Re
publican members of the committee
frankly confessed that they had not been
able to formulate a scheme which would
relieve the situation, and after less than
an hour's discussion they asked that the
committee ehould adjourn until 2 o'clock,
the understanding being that the Senate
should adjourn after a brief session and
thus give the committee an opportunity
to consider fully this most Important
Question, which most Senators look upon
In Its present shape as a stumbling-block
in the way of all other legislation.
The meeting of the committee was
marked by the best of feeling on tho
part of all the members, and all agreed
readily to a preliminary suggestion by
Chairman Burrows that the question
should be approached from a purely non
partisan standpoint, because of Its gen
eral importance. It was evident, how
ever, that the Democrats were inclined
to apprehend some effort at political
capital by the Republicans, and the chan
nel through which this was manifested
soon became evident when Senator Fora
ker made the suggestion that there
should be a severer degree of punish
ment meted out to Senator Tillman than
to Senator McLaurin.
Senator Dubois met this suggestion
with a negative, and when the sugges
tion was afterward made that Senator
Tillman should be called upon to prove
before the committee the charge
which he had repeated In the Senate,
that his colleague had yielded to undue
influence, there was a hint that if this
matter should be entered upon some
Senators would Insist upon the reopen
ing of the charges on file in the com
mittee In connection with the election of
other Senators, which charges have never
been disposed of.
Senator Bailey notified the Repub
lican members that the Democrata
would not submit to the adoption of a
resolution suspending the South Carolina
Senators. He said he agreed that they
bhould be punished for their breach of
the peace in the presence of the Senate,
but he was satisfied the Democrats would
not submit to any proceeding which
would deprive a state of representation.
Some of the Republican members of the
committee replied that they agreed as to
the unwisdom and impracticability of
proceeding by way of suspension.
"While no prospective statement of pol
icy was made from the Republican side,
there was enough said to lead to the
conclusion that the proposed resolution
for suspension had been abandoned, and
that the punishment suggested will be
In the form of censure. Indeed, some
of the Republican members of the com
mittee say this Is practically the only
course open to them.
The committee continued Its considera
tion of the episode this afternoon, but
reached no conclusion beyond deciding to
refer the entire matter to a sub-committee
and to meet again Friday to consider
any recommendations by the sub-commlt-tcc.
Tho afternoon session lasted three
hours, and after tho Democratic members
took their departure at 5 o'clock the Re
publicans continued the sitting.
The meeting of the full committee was
devctcd to a general exchange of views.
No vote was taken on any proposition.
Indeed, no proposition was made, either
by the majority or the minority. There
was entire agreement on the point that
both the South Carolina Senators should
be punished, but there was disagreement
on the details of punishment, as well aa
on the degree of it. The Senators had be
fore them full reports of the speeches of
both Senators, making careful compari
sons of their language. Each member also
was provided with a copy of the Constl.
tutlon and of the rules of the Senate, and
these, as well as the established parlia
mentary authorities, were referred to fre
quently. A half dozen suggestions were made as
to modes of punishment. Including sus
pension and censure, with the added re
quirement of further apologies from the
offenders. There was also a continued
discussion of the relative punishment of
the two men. Most of the Republican
members of the committee hold that Sen
ator Tillman should be awarded a more
severe form of rebuke than McLaurin,
while the Democrats do not generally con
cede that there should be discrimination!.
Senator Bailey quoted at length from the
speech, made by Senator Tillman, which
provoked the reply of Senator McLaurin,
contending that it did not make a spe
cific charge of bribers'. The Democrats
also held out stiffly against all sugges
tions looking to the suspension of the
privileges of the Senators as an attack on
the rights of the state they represent,
rather than on the Senators themselveE.
When the committee adjourned its mem
bers professed to be hopeful that unani
mous agreement Would be reached, but
they were not so hopeful as they had
been when the noon recess was taken.
The proceedings were not of a character
to permit of any definite Conclusion as
to what the result would be, though so
far as they went they indicated censure
as the form of punishment most likely to
be recommended. Some of the Republi
cans, however, are holding out for .a more
pronounced rebuke to Senator Tillman
than could be given In any verbal repri
mand. The sub-committee appointed is com
posed of Senators Burrows, Hoar and
Foraker, Republicans, and Senators Pet
tus and Bailey, Democrats. This sub
committee will meet tomorrow afternoon
and make an effort to frame a resolution
for the action of the full committee which
will meet again Friday.
Brief Sesilon of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Again today
the galleries of the Senate were thronged
with spectators when the body convened.
All were anticipating a reopening of the
discussion of the controversy respecting
the right of Senators McLaurin and Till
man, of South Carolina, to participate
in tho debates of the body while under
the ban or contempt.
Immediately after the chaplain had pro
nounced the invocation, Foraker was rec
ognized. He saia that on account of the
McKlnley memorial exercises which were
to be held In the hall of the House of
Representatives at or about 12 o'clock
tomorrow, he moved that when tho Ben
ate adjourn today it bo until 11:45 A. M.
tomorrow. The motion was agreed to.
Burrows, chairman of the committee"
on privileges and elections, was recog
nized. He said the committee was In tho
midst of the consideration of a very Im
portant question, a decision upon which
had not been reached. By Instruction of
the committee he therefore moved that
the Senate adjourn Without objection
the motion was carried and the Senate
adjourned.

GORGE MAY LET GO TODAY
Ice la the Allegheny on the Point
of Breaking: Up.
PITTSBURG, FebT 26. Indications at
midnight are that the big Ice gorge In the
Allegheny River may let go early tomor
row morning or during the day. Tonight
the Government observer Issued a state
ment, which, after describing the condi
tion of the river, Kajs:
"This looks as if the ice in the Alle
gheny River would break up tomorrow
or Tuesday night. The result cannot be
predicted. All I can do Is to say that the
indications are that it may move out.
Whether it will gorge and be disastrous
in this locality cannot be foretold by any
person on earth."
FLOOD IS THE SL'SQUEIIASSA.
Ice Jam Foraii Below Columbia and
Gives the Tovrn a Scare.
LANCASTER, Pa., Feb. 2C Residents
along the river front at Columbia are In
a state of terror. The worst flood in re
cent years Ig being experienced. The Ice
In the Susquehanna broke about 4 o'clock
this afternoon between Columbia and
Marietta, and rushed down stream until
it reached the dam just below Columbia,
where a Jam formed. Then the water be
gan to back up, and In a short time had
risen eight or nine feet. The water en
tered the boiler-room of the electric light
plant, drowning the fires and leaving the
town in darkness tonight. The tracks of
the Columbia & Port Deposit Railroad at
some places are submerged and piled with
Ice. If the rise continues at the present
rate, the lace mills will be damaged and
the two rolling mills of the Susquehanna
Iron Company will be put out of opera
tion. In the darkness and confusion it Is
impossible to ascertain the full extent of
the damage.
The Conet-toga la pouring a great volume
of water into the river at Safe Harbor.
This strenm is higher than It has. been
for 25 years. It tore away a large part of
the dam at Slackwater and damaged the
electric light plant at that place, which
supplies Lancaster, to such an extent that
the streets of this' city are dark tonight.
At 9:D0 o'clock tonight water was pouring
over the great stel bridge of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, which spans
the Susquehanna from Columbia to
Wrlghtsville. At midnight the river was
still rising.

MAIL SERVICE CUT OFF.
Steamship Company ReIiitn Nicara
gua's Effort to Collect Taxes.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Sunday, Fb. 9.
In consequence of action on tho part of
the Government of Nicaragua to collect
taxes or fines from the Pacific Steamship
Company, the company has ordered Its
steamer not to touch at ports on the Pa
cific side of Nicaragua, thereby greatly
disarranging the mall service from New
York by way of Panama. This line
brought the New York mail three times
each month from Panama to Nicaragua
(some months more frequently), and car
ried tho mall for New York from Nica
ragua by way of Panama. The vessels
of the other steamship line visiting the
Pacific coast of Nicaragua, the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company, a British
concern, having Its headquarters at Val
paraiso, arrive at Nicaraguan ports twice
and sometimes only once a month.
The Congress of Nicaragua has approved
a commercial treaty with France. Con
gress adjourned today. No reference was
made to the protocol for a commercial
treaty with the United States signed De
cember 13, 190L It will probably be with
held until It becomes known what dispo
sition the United Slates will make of the
Nicaragua Canal route.

THE HOUSE NONCONCURS
SENDS PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL TO
CONFERENCE.
Objects to All the Senate' Amend-.
juentti Tawney Explains Ills
Statement Regarding; Toole.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. The House
today sent the Philippine tariff bill to con
ference, nonconcurrlng In all the Senate
amendments. Tawney (Rep. Minn.) made
a personal explanation, regarding Gov
ernor Toole, of Montana, saying that in
formerly classing the Governor as an op
ponent of Governor Van Sant In tne
merger case he had been under a mis
apprehension. The Proceeding".
At the opening of the session Loud (Rep.
CaL) asked unanimous consent that the
bill to classify the rural free delivery
service be taken up next Monday and be
made a continuing order until disposed
of. The order was made.
Tawney (Rep. Minn.) made a personal
statemont to correct a statement he made
on the floor a few days ago, during the
speech of Burleson on trusts, to the ef
fect that the Governor of Montana was
not opposed to the Northwestern railroad
merger. He said his statement was made
hastily, under a misapprehension. The
Governor of Montana had been, he said,
always opposed to the merger and had
done and was going all he could to aid
the Governor of Minnesota In his flght
against the movement.
Payne, chairman of tho ways and means
committee, asked unanimous Consent that
the Senate amendments to the Philippine
tariff bill be disagreed to and that a con
ference with the Senate be requested. To
this Richardson, the minority leader, ob
jected. He demanded the regular order,
which required the consideration of those
amendments In the House, making the
point of order also that the amendments
must be first considered in commltteo of
the whole. Payne controverted the point
of order, but admitted that one of the
acts at least was subject to the point of
order. But as Richardson disclaimed any
intention of desiring to use obstructive
tactics, the Hou3e, on Payne's motion,
went Into committee -of the whole and
took up the amendments.
Payne moved that the committee rec
ommend nonconcurrenco In the first
amendment to reduce the rates on good3
coming Into the United States from the
Philippines to 73 per cent of the Dlngley
rates, while McClellan (Dem. N. Y.)
moved nonconcurrence In an amendment
to reduce the duties to 23 per cent of the
Dlngley rates. Payne Indicated a willing
ness to concede the 23 per cent reducllon
of the Senate, but he urged nonconcur,
rence In order to simplify the phrase
ology. McClellan said he .would be glad to see
free trade with the! Philippines, and his
amendment Is designed to Improve a bad
bill by adopting the tariff reductions
urged by Governor Taf t. McClellan's mo
tion was lost, 84 to 107.
Richardson moved nonconcurrence In an
amendment to remove all duties on goods
coming Into the United States from tho
Philippines. On a rising vote the amend
ment prevailed, 69 to 67, but when tho
tellers were demanded, the amendment
was lost, 95 to 10S.
Kitchln (Dem. N. C.) proposed a broad
ening of the clause exempting certain
persons from prosecution for treason, by
exempting any person failing to give In
formation against another. The amend
ment was lost, S5io 112.
Richardson offered a provision to the
lost Senate amendment that the United
States relinquish all claim to the sov
ereignty over the Philippine Islands and
that hereafter the archipelago shall
be considered as foreign territory;
that all trade between the United
States and the Philippines shall be
free; that the United States shall pro
tect the Islands and their Inhabitants
while they are forming a suitable gov
ernment, and that thereafter the United
States shall withdraw from control of the
archipelago, retaining only coaling and
naval stations. The amendment was de.
clared out of ottler.
The measure was then reported to the
House. On motion of Payne the House
nonconcurred In the Senate amendments
and asked for a conference, Payne (Rep.
N. Y.), Dalzell (Rep. Pa.) and Richard
son (Dem. Tenn.) being named aa con
ferees. The House then, at 2:05 P. M. adjourned.

easy money, but I am not that kind of a
sport." No pools were paid on the race,

Judge Durham, a well-known local

A report had become current among the
Judge's friends that he was threatened

It -was also reported that the Judge
had fulled to get any relief from any of
the medical aid at his command, that he
had made use of tho now world-famous
remedy, Peruna, and made a prompt re
covery. The affair created quite a sensa
tion In medical circles especially, and
the many friends of Judge Durham were
not only exceedingly gratified at his re
covery, but were enthusiastic In their
praises of the remedy that had brought
him relief.

months I ran down very rapidly, couch

frequently had hemorrhages from tho
lungs. I was on the verge of the grave.
My husband and my friends had given
me up.
"Some one, however, who had tried
your Peruna advised me to use It. As a
last hope I bought a bottle, and, finding

taking It. My cough left me and I had
no more hemorrhages, and I am now as

"For several years I have suffered with
throat and lung trouble caused from
taking cold when confined to my room

my voice will be entirely restored (as I

"This 'cure has been perfected by Pe
runa after repented trials with many
other articles without benefit.
"I believe It to be the best medicine in
use for what it is recommended."
