VOTE ON RESOLUTION; 54 TO 12
The Sealer Senator From Soata Caro
lina Made Another Bad Break
"but Soon Withdrew
Uln Words. ... .
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Senators Mc
Laurin and Tillman today were severely
ccnsured by the Senate for the sensational
personal encounter on the floor of the Sen
ate last Saturday. Thev adoption of the
resolution of censure probably closes the
case, so far as McLaurin Is concerned.
The resolution follows: v
"That It Is the judgment of the Senate
that the Senators from South Carolina,
Benjamin R. Tillman and John L.. Mc
Laurin, for disorderly behavior and fla
grant violation of Che rules of the Senate
during- the open session of the Senate on
the 22d day of February, deserve the cen
ture of the Senate, and they are hereby
so censured for their breach of the privil
eges and dignity of this body; and from
and after the adoption of this resolution
the order adjudging: them. In contempt
of the Senate shall be no longer In force
and effect."
The Senate adopted the conference re
port on the permanent census bill, and
Ihen began consideration of the Irrigation
-measure. Clark. (Wyo.) delivered a long
and carefully prepared speech in its sup
port. For a time later the Senate jconsld
ered the omnibus claims bill, but did not
dispose of it.
The Day In Detail.
When the Senate was called to order a
notably large attendance of Senators was
on the floor and the galleries were
thronged. Both Senators McLaurin and
Tillman, of South Carolina, were in their
Beats. Great Interest was manifested by
Senators an the floor and by spectators In
the gallery in the reading of the journal
which contained the protest of Mr. Till
man against not being permitted to voto
while under the ban of the Senate's order
of contempt.
(Burrows, chairman of the commit
tee on- privileges and elections, im
mediately after the journal was approved,
addressed the chair, saying- that by di
rection of the committee he was in
structed to make a report on the con
troversy arising from 'the personal alter
cation on the floor of the Senate between
Senator -Tillman and Senator McLaurin.
By order of the Senate the subject had
been referred to the committee on privi
leges and elections, and a resolution had
been formulated by that committee.
After the reading of the resolution by
the clerk. Burrows presented the report
of the majority of tho committee, saying
in that connection it was understood that
those members of the committee who did
not agree with the majority should have
opportunity to present their views.
McComas said he would submit the view
of the minority.
The report of the majority was then
read. The roport recited the history of
the altercation in the Senate, and Quoted
the language the used by the offenders.
All agreed to this statement. The report
then continued as follows:
"That the 'conduct of the two Sena
tors was an infringement on the privi
leges of the Senate, a violation of its
rules, and derogatory to its high charac
ter, tending to bring the body Itself into
public contempt, cannot be questioned or
denied. Indeed, the Senate by a unani
mous vote has already placed on record
its condemnation of the Senators by de
claring both guilty of contempt The
majority of the committee are of the
opinion that the legal effect of adjudg
ing these Senators in contempt of the
Senate was to suspend their functions as
Senators, and that such a punishment for
disorderly conduct was clearly within the
power of tho Senate, but the conclusion
they have reached makes it unnecessary
to discuss this question.
"The offenses committed by the two
Senators were not, in the opinion of a
majority of the committee, of equal grav-:
ity. Tho charge made by Tillman had
been once before in the Senate specifically
denied In parliamentary language by Mc
Laurin. The offense charged against Mc
Laurin was among the most reprehensi
ble a Senator could commit Ho could not
ignore it or fall to refute It and hope to
be longer Tespected as either a man or a
Senator. McLaurin did not commence tho
encounter, but only stood in his place at
his desk whero he was speaking and re
sisted the attack that was made upon him.
In other words, his offense was confined
to the use of unparliamentary language,
ior which he had unusual provocation.
Nevertheless, his offense was a violation
of the rules of the Senate of so serious
a character that- in the opinion of the
committee, it should be condemned.
"In the case of Tillman, the record
shows that the altercation was com
menced by the charge he made against
McLaurin. Such a charge is Inexcusable
except in connection with a resolution to
investigate. Tillman made the charge
without any avowal of a purpose to in
vestigate, but also disclaimed knowledge ,
of evidence to establish the offense, and
this he said after the charge had been
specifically and unqualifiedly denied by
McLaurin.
"Such a charge, under any circum
stances, should be resented by any man
worthy to be a Senator; but made as It
was in this Instance, its offenslveness was
greatly intensified and the result must
have been foreseen by Mr. Tillman, if he
took any thought as he should, of 'the
consequences of his statements. This fea
ture of his offense, coupled with the fact
that he also commenced the encounter by
quitting his seat some distance away
from Mr. McLaurin and rushing violently
upon him, struck him in the face, make
the case one of such exceptional behavior
that a majority of the committee are of
the opinion that this offense was of much
greater gravity than that of Mr. Me
Laurln. "The penalty of a censure by the Senate
lc the nature of things must vary in
actual severity in proportion to the pub
lic sense of the gravity of the offense of
which the offender should be adjudged
guilty. Therefore, notwithstanding the
effect that In the opinion of the majority
of,. the committee there Is a difference in
the gravity of offenses under considera
tion, your committee is of the opinion
that public good and the dignity of the
Senate will alike be best promoted, so
far as this particular case is concerned,
by imposing upon each Senator by for
mal vote the censure of the Senate for
the offense by him committed, and there
fore recommend the adoption of the reso.
lutlon."
Minority Report.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
majority report, Bailey offered the
following- statement as representing the
views of himself and four other Senators,
aB follows:
"We dissent from so much of the report
of tho committee as asserts the power of
the Senate to suspend a Senator and thus
deprive a state of its vote, and so much
as describes the offenses' of the Senators
as of different gravity; but we approve
the resolution reported.
"J. W. BAILEY,
E. W. PETTUS,
"JOSEPH C. BLACKBURN,
"FRED T. DUBOIS.
"MURPHY J. FOSTER,
"Members of the committee on privileges
and elections."
The report of the minority committee
was then read. This watf presented by
McComas, on behalf of himself .and Bev
eridge, in which Prltchard concurred In
part In this statement the Senators
signing: It aay that while they accept the
statement of the case as made in the prin
cipal report, they do not agree with the
majority of the committee as to the pun
ishment proposed by the majority. They
then say:
"The Junior Senator from South Caro
lina Is guilty of unparliamentary lan
guage. The senior Senator from South
Carolina. Is guilty of physical violence.
Neither Jn the statutes of any state nor
in the common opinion of mankind are
these two offense the same. If the Sen
ate is to retain the reepect of the country
it must retain its own self-respect This
cannot be done by lightly passing over the
grave offense it has suffered. The light
est form of punishment is a reprimand or
censure: It is the latter which the major
ity proposes to inflict for two offenses dif
fering In character and gravity. The
minority of the committee Is of the opin
ion that this punishment is inadequate,
and to ignore the differences between
the offenses is unjust The minority of
the committee is of the opinion that sus
pension of the two offending- Senators
from their Senatorial privileges, hereto
fore inflicted, should now be formally ad
judged and continued for different periods
of time."
The minority report then enters upon
an extended argument in support of this
proposition. The argument is based upon
the second clause, fifth section, of the
Constitution, conferring upon each House
of Congress power to punish its mem
bers for disorderly behavior. The report
concludes by recommending that Senator
McLaurin be suspended from his func
tions as a Senator for five days, and that
Senator Tillman be suspended for-"2S days.
It is:
"The objection that no punishment
should deprive a sovereign state of Its
votes In the Senate fails when wo con
sider the rights of all the states, and
above all the duty of the Senate to pun
ish adeauatelv a crave offense."
Prltchard's addition to the above!
bum luui lie cuiicurreu in ail uio iore
golng views except the punishment of
the junior Senator from South Carolina.
"It is my opinion." he says, "that tho
punishment he has already suffered Is
adequate to his offense. I make no rec
ommendation as to the punishment to
bo imposed on the senior Senator from
South Carolina."
Debate on the Retcolntlon.
Bacon called attention to .what Tio con
sidered an Important omJSFlon in the nar
rative by the majority of the occurrences
of lost Saturday. There was no official
record of the proceedings in secret execu
tive session, he said, but some 'of the sali
ent facts, he said, ought to be brought
out He said the senior Senator from
South Carolina (Tillman) had expressed
his desire, through the Senator from Ken
tucky (Blackburn), to make a public con
fession of his error and to apologize for
his error. The Junior Senator from South
Carolina (McLaurin) had expressed the
same desire through him (Bacon). He
deemed it important that these facts
thould be made a part of the record.
Galllnger said that under the Senate
rules It was not competent to move a sub
stitute minority for a majority report,
otherwise he would move to substitute the
minority report for that of the majority,
as he believed the minority report recom
mended v the precise kind of punishment
that ought to be'inflictcd on the Senators
involved. The minority report, he thought,
properly differentiated between the degrees
of offense committed b,y the Senators. In
the circumstances he felt constrained to
vote for the resolution.
When the name of McLaurin of Missis
sippi was reached in the roll-call, he said:
"Being- related by kinship to one of the
Senators involved, I ask to be excused
from voting." The request was granted.
McLaurin of South Carolina, one of the
offending Senators, said in response to his
name, which had been restored to the roll:
"I refrain from voting for obvious rea
sons." ,
When Tillman's name waa called he rose
deliberately. Every eye in the chamber
was fixed upon him. His face was stern
and set and he was pale as a sheet Evi
dently he was laboring under great emo
tion. "Among gentlemen," said he slowly, and
his words were heard distinctly in tho ut
termost parts of the chamber, "an apology
for an offense committed under the heat
of blood is usually considered sufficient"
Then he resumed his seat, amid gasps
of astonishment amongSenators and spec
tators Burrows hastened to the desk of the of
ficial stenographers and directed that Till
man's words be written out at once.
At the conclusion of the roll-call, but
before the announcement of the vote,
Kean, who had voted for the resolution,
addressed the president pro tem., saying:
"Having heard the Senator from Soutn
Carolina (Tillman) again insult the Senate.
I change my vote from aye to no."

As soon as the vote was announced,
Burrows demanded that the statement
of Tillman, made during the roll-call, be
read to the Senate. Scarcely had the
clerk concluded the reading when Till
man, addressing the president said:
"The words uttered by me were not
intended to be offensive and if they were
so considered, I very gladly withdraw
them."
As Burrows was about to address the
Senate, Teller said: "The Senator from
South Carolina was not called to orderly
anybody. I think we had better pro
ceed." Burrows explained that he had had no
opportunity during the roll-call to di
rect the Senate's attention to Tillman's
words.
The chair (Frye) said! "The Senator
has withdrawn the remarks. Is there ob
jection in the Senate to their with
drawal?"
"I object, Mr. President," insisted
Dietrich.
The effect of the objection Is to in
corporate Tillman's words In he record
of the proceedings.
Piatt (Conn.) explained that he .had
voted reluctantly for the resolution Just
passed, but he could set no other way
open to the Senate to punish the offend
ing Senators. He did not think the pun
ishment Inflicted was sufficient He be
lieved they ought to be deprived for a
limited time from exercising their Sena
torial functions. He believed, too, that
the Senate ought to have differentiated
between the offenses of the two South
Carolina Senators In inflicting the punish
ment Regalar BaainesB.
The conference report on the permanent
census bill was adopted.
The Senate agreed to the request of the
House for a conference on the Philip
pine tariff bill, and Lodge, Allison and
Rawlins were named as the Senate con
ferees. A Joint resolution providing for the
modification of the project for the im
provement of Everett harbor, Washing
ton, was adopted.
At 2 o'clock, consideration of the un
finished business a bill providing for the
irrigation of arid lands was begun. The
measure was read and then Clark(Wyo.)
made an extended speech in" support o
Clark declared that the bill affects the
welfare of the people' who represent iWw
000,000 acres of the government domain.
It is a. bill second only in the administra
tion of or public lands and public laws
to the homestead act, which was passed
40 years ago. There can be no question as
to the legal authority of the General Gov
ernment, not only to protect its own prop
erty, but to Increase the value In any way
which Congress may provide. The work
is National, he said, and the result Is
truly and broadly so. He said that It
should not be forgotten that as a land
owner, the Government itself would ba
the greatest beneficiary; millions of acres
of Its own domain would be taken from
what might be determined its worthless
securities and made Its most -valuable.
The Senator referred to the Immense ir
rigation works managed by the British
Government In India, by reason of which
it has been able very materially to in
crease the wealth of the country. What
England has done, said the Senator, we
can do. v
At the conclusion of Clark's speech the
Irrigation bill was laid aside temporarily,
and, at the request of Warren, chairman
of the committee on claims, consideration
of the omnibus claims bill was begun.
At 5 o'clock, further consideration of
the bill was postponed, and at 5:C0 P. M.
the Senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Governor Taft
continued his statement before the Houso
Insular committee today. He said any
plan other than purchase of the friar
lands, such as a high rate of taxation or
forcible condemnation, would cause much

end than purchase. He said the lands
would cost between $3,000,000 and $7,000,

- i A .
Rain Feared Down In TerreatsvWHjte"
at Annapolis Cadet Prft Through
Their Pace Farewell Dinner.
ANNAPOLIS. ML, Feb. 23. Prince Hen
ry of Prussia today vlslteil the Naval
Academy and met ftic cadets "under In
struction there. He saw them at work
and at play.' and at the close of his visit
addressed them In a complimentary
speech, expressing his confidence that they
would do their duty If their country called.
He was accompanied to Annapoils by Sec
retary Long and a party of distinguished
American officers. Every member of his
staff was In attendance. The rain poured
down In torrents, but the Prince, to whom
naval warfare has special interest, de
clined to take shelter, and went through
every formal feature of the programme.
Besides Secretary Long, the Americans
In the escort of tho Prince were Senator
Hale, Representative Foss, Admirals
Bradford, Bowles, O'Nell. Endicott Terry
and Kenny. Captains Slgsbee amlLemly,
Commanders Southcrland and Cowles; As
sistant Secretary of State Pierce and As
plstnnt Secretary of War Sanger.
The special train of the Prince, carrying
the entire parxy, left Washington at 9:30
A. M., and reached Annapolis at 10:40. A
detachment of Baltimore police surrounded
the Short sLlno station, and a marine
guard and state troops of Maryland did
tUe Prince honor. Captain Walnwrlght
superintendent of the academy, received
the Prince, and the entire party was
driven through the troop-lined streets to
the academy. Regardless of the deluging
rain, there were crowds on tho sodden
streets through which the party drove.
A National salute was fired as the party
entered the grounds of the naval college
and the Prince at once reviewed the cadet
corps. He stood under a canopy 'of can
vas on the west end of the parade grounds,
and the. cadets marched in review before
him. The parade ground was a bog, and
the rain splashed through the reviewing
stand, but the middles marched In perfect
order, and the officers stood at attention,
unmindful of the storm.
After the parade, the cadets changed to
working clothes and hastened to the sev
eral working departments. While the
students were preparing forMnspectlon thb
Prince was taken to the physical labora
tory and shown the plans of the Improve
ments projected at the Academy. He ex
amined them with Senator Hale, Secretary
Long, Congressman Foss and Superintend
ent Walnwrlght, and discussed them with
the enthuslaftn of a naval man. He asked
a score of questions" and animatedly dis
cussed the relative merits of the German
and American systems. Next he was
takerf'to the -steam building, where the
machinery had been set In motion, and
the cadets had taken their places at the
lathes and other machines.
Then he was shown to the armory,
where a number of the cadets were In
fencing suits, and after that to the gym
nasium, where the sailor boys gave an
exhibition of their physical training that
Interested him as much as anything elso
he saw during the day. A boxing class
was lined up and put through the leading
and blocking moves. There was an exhi
bition of vaulting, and finally some spir
ited boxing and wrestling. Cadets Laud
and Otterson 'and Cadets Whitney and
Simmons boxed two fast bouts, and Ca
dets Rhodes and Wilson wrcptled a vig
orously contested bout, Rhodes finally
winning, but It was the vanquished man
who got the congratulation of the Prince.
The Prince sent for Wilson, and, shaking
his hand, said: "I am much obliged to
you. I am sorry for you, but you are
a good man."
After visiting the gymnasium, tlje vis
itors were entertained nt luncheon by Mrs.
Walnwrlght; asslstcdfby Miss Walnwrlght
and a number of wives and daughtcrs-of
the officers stationed at the academy. At
the conclusion of the luncheon, the cadet
corps was .drawn up In front of tho house
of the superintendent in preparation for
the departure of the Prince. The latter
addressed them as follows:
"Gentlemen, I have to thank you very
much for the way I havo been received
today. I am greatly pleased to have
learned the way you are brought up. I
feel quite surethat you will do your
duty whenever your country calls on you.
Again I thank you for this Interesting and
pleasant reception."
Commander Walnwrlght stepped for
ward, and, raising his. hat said: "Let us
give three hearty cheers for Prince Henry
of Prussia." His waving hat gave the
time, and the middle? roared out three
Cheers. The Prince departed a mement

DINNER AT THE EMBASSY.
Prince Henry's Farevrell to the Na

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Prince
Henry'a visit to the National capital
had a fitting culmination tonight In a
splendid dinner at the German Embassy
;t&nd later a tremendous outburst of popu- ,
jar emnusiosm irom me uerman residents

Harvard Degree for the Prince.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S. Prince Henry of
Prussia will receive an honorary degree
from. Harvard on March 6 according to
the Tribune. The name of' Prince Henry
had been mentioned soon after his arri
val In this country, according to the
Tribune's Informant, In connection with
this honor, but there was some opposi
tion to the plan In the university corpora
tion. This has, however, .been overcome,
and if the proposed plans are carried out
the degree will be conferred with Im
posing ceremonies.
It Is believed that further details as to
the gift of works of art to the university
by the German Emperor will be made
public at that time. A member of the
royal parly said that all Germans are
keenly interested In subjects pertaining to
universities, and that the Prince doubtless
will enjoy his visit to Cambridge.
It haalso been stated, on good author
ity, that the names of the German Em
peror and Prince Henry will be added to
the list of honorary members of the New
York Yacht Club. This list already in
cludes the names of their royal uncle.
King Edward VII, and the Grand Duke
Alexis.
London Times! ''Gratification.
LONDON, Feb. 2S. Tha Times this
morning publishes an editorial on the tri
umph, of Prince Henry In converting tho
cool friendliness of his first reception to
tha hearty enthusiasm which he now
arouses In the breasts of the American
people, and says this popularity has been
won by tact and simplicity, and bids fair
to continue increasing until the Prince
leaves American shores. The editorial
expresses Blncere gratification at the man
ner in which the United States Is meeting
the advances of Germany, and adds:
"Wo may feel at the same time legiti
mate satisfaction that we did not wait
until now to disclose our admiration and
regard for the American people, but open
ly expressed both at a time when they
were bf greater value to them. The more
closely the Germans edopt American prin
ciples and the more steadfastly they act
upon them in China and elsewhere, the
better pleased will be -the English-speaking
race on both sides of the ocean."
