WHY GONZALES FELL!
Tillman Says He Had Ample
Cause to Shoot.
SUPPOSED EDITOR WAS ARMED
"Wounded Jinn In Critical Condition,
"With. u. Bare Chance of Recovery
Law to Take Its Course
With Awnassln.
COLUMBIA, S.A, Jan. 16. Editor N.
G. Gonzales, whoiwgs shot and seriously
wounded by Lieutenant-Governor Tillman
on the most traveled street in the capital
of South Carollna.vvvas holding his own at
9 o'clock tonight. There had been no
change for either fttie 'better or the worse
since last night. The crisis is yet to
come. The best doctors in this part of the
state are doing all they can to save his
life, but hold out little hope of his recov
er'. At the same time, Mr. Gonzales is
making a plucky fight for his life. As he
has a strong constitution, excellent habits
and a resolute will, it is thought there is
a chance that he may pull through, not
withstanding his critical condition and the
serious nature of the wound. No one, not
even members of his family, are allowed
to see the patient.
This morning when the city schools as
sembled and prayers were said, they In
cluded an appeal to God for the recovery
of Mr. Gonzales. At the South Carolina
College prayers were offered for the re
covery of the stricken editor, and even
In the Senate chamber, where Lieutenant
Governor Tillman had presided shortly
before the shooting, the chaplain prayed
that the Almighty would save the life of
Mr. Gcnzales.
"While there is a great deal of feeling
over the affair, it can be stated with pos
itiveness that there is absolutely no
thought of violence against Mr. Tillman
on the part of Mr. Gonzales' friends. All
sensational reports of threats against Till
man's life. In the event that the stricken
editor should die, are absolutely baseless,
as it Is the wish of Mr. Gonzales and his
closest friends that the matter should be
left for the courts to settle.
Mr. Gonzales' wound was dressed short
ly before 10 o'clock this morning, and
later Dr. Guerry announced that the
stricken man was holding his own and
doing as well as could be expected. At 10
o'clock his pulse was 110; temperature, 93;
respiration, 28.
He rested well until after .1 o'clock, and
this fact gave some encouragement to the
physician, but a period of restlessness fol
lowed by 2 o'clock. At G o'clock in the
evening the wound was again dressed, and
was found to be in a satisfactory condi
tion and fuily drained. His condition, the
physicians announced, was extremely crit
ical, but was as ood as they could expect
tinder the circumstances. There had been
no change during the day, and his condi
tion remained practically unchanged at
9 o'clock, when the doctors said that his
pulse was 120 and temperature 100. The
physicians said they thought the first
crisis would be reached during the night.
Lieutenant-Governor James H. Tillman,
who did the shotting, took things quiet
ly and calmly during the day In the
County Jail, where he had a comfortable
room on the second floor. He had some
new furniture brought to his place of con
finement, and made himself comfortable.
Some visitors called on him, but most of
the day he spent In consultation with his
lawyers. Congressman George "V. Croft,
ex-Judge O. W. Buchanan and Coleman
L. Blease. Two of his counsel gave to the
Associated Press, with a request that it
be published, the following statement,
prepared by Mr. Tillman himself in re
sponse to a telegram from a New York
newspaper:
"I can only say that, when the truth
of the unfortunate affair is known, my
friends, as well as the people, will know
how thoroughly I was justified in doing as
I did.
"The statements already published In
the newspapers are untrue, and at the
proper time this I will be ready to show.
Beyond this, I do not care to make any
further statement.
"JAMES H. TILLMAN."
It Is -understood here that Colonel Till
man's line of defense will be thaf ho
thought Mr. Gonzales was armed, and
that he had a weapon In his coat pocket,
and that he had his hands in his -coat
pocket. He Is said to oontend that he had
every reason to believe that Mr. Gonzales
was armed. Mr. Gonzales' friends state
that he was not armed. Mr. Tillman also
"will claim that when he aimed his pistol
the second time at Mr. Gonzales, he did
so expecting Mr. Gonzales to defend him
self, and that he lowered his weapon be
cause there was no response, and not be
cause of anything Mr. Gonzales said. Mr.
Tillman, it is understood, also will con
tend that he had not met Mr. Gonzales
before. This Is denied by Mr. Gonzales
friends, -who say Mr. Gonzales and Mr.
Tillman were in the Senate chamber and
State Capitol together. Mrs. Tillman and
Mrs. George D. Tillman are expected here
tonight.
IOWA MEN DISPUTE.
"War Claim That Had Slumbered 30
Years at Last Ivllled.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The House de
voted the day to private war claims, pass
ing about 20. The two features of the
day were the defeat of a claim of B. F.
Moody & Co., of Keokuk, la., for the
payment of the amount deducted from
their contract for furnishing equipment to
the Third Iowa Cavalry, by the famous
commission which unearthed the Army
contract frauds in St. Louis In 163, and
the fight of Mr. Payne, the floor leader of
the majority, against an omnibus resolu
tion to refer 90 Southern claims, aggre
gating $400,000, for stores and supplies
taken by the "Union Army during the
Civil War, to the Court of Claims for
finding of fact under the Tucker act.
The former bill led to a lively controversy
between two Iowa members, Smith and
Hedge. Mr. Hitt (III.), the chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, was the
stenographer of the commission, and was
able personally to corroborate Hedge m
his opposition to the bill. The combina
tion In favor of the omnibus claims reso
lutlon was too strong for Payne, but on
the final vote the quorum failed. As the
previotis question had been ordered, the
vote on, the. adoption of the resolution will
be -the first thing In order on the next
claims day.
An Interesting 'controversy arose In con
nection with a bill to appropriate $8446 to
pay the claim of B. F. Moody & Co., of
Keokuk, la., for balance due under a con
tract for the equipment of the Third Iowa
Cavalry during the Civil War, and some
sensational chapters In the history of the
alleged Army contract frauds In SC Louis
were exploited. Mr. Smith (la.) was in
charge "Of the bill. The original amount
of the claim exceeded $50,000. but It was
scaled down by the committee to $6445,
Mr. Smith contended that the claim was
Just, the contract having been executed
under the authority of General John C,
Fremont, through his agent. General Cy
rus Bussey, Mr. Hedge (la.). Smith's col
league, denounced the claim with a vigor
which attracted the attention of the en
tire House.
He impeached it first on the ground that
It had been allowed to slumber for 20
years without being presented to Con
gress, and then proceeded to point out
that its origin was In the action of the
famous commission consisting of David
Davis, Hugh Campbell and Joseph Holt,
which unearthed the alleged frauds In
General Fremont's Department of the St.
Louis, in 1S52. He declared that the com
mission had scaled millions upon millions
of the Army contracts, one of which was
that of Moody & Co.. and that General
Fremont had been superseded because of
the intolerable conditions that were found
to exist. The report of that committee,
said he, "was never printed because Lin
coln believed that Its revelations would
make the people despair." "
"I have that record here," said Mr.
Smith, raising aloft a package of papers,
musty and yellow with age.
"But It was never printed' Insisted Mr.
Hedge. "It would not have been advisa
ble to print it." Then he called on Hitt,
chairman of the committee on foreign
affairs, who had been an Interested lis
tener to the debate, to bear out his tes
timony, explaining that Hitt had been the
stenographer of the St. Louis commis
sion. The latter corroborated Hedge, saying
that the report which Smith had displayed
had been written by his own hand. He
told of the gigantic frauds unearthed in
that investigation nnd of the unwilling
ness of the authorities to permit the com
plete story to become public, owing to the
disheartening effect it might produce on
the people. Personally, he said, .he did
r.ot remember the details of the particu
lar claim of Moody & Co.
Smith, la reply, while admitting that the
contract might have been technically
without authority, insisted that the claim
was not fraudulent in law or in fact. The
House, however, voted the bill down, 30
to 70.
Payne, the floor leader of the majority,
led a strong light against an omnibus res
olution to refer to the Court of Claims SO
separate claims, aggregating 5400,000, for
finding of fact, under the provisions of
the Tucker act. He contended that the
resolution would remove the statute of
limitation which already barred many of
these old claims. The claims were all for
stores and supplies taken by the Federal
forces during the Civil "War. Payne con
ducted a filibuster, but he was overridden
by friends of the measure, who comprised
all the Democrats and half of the Repub
licans. On a rollcall on the adoption of
the resolution, however, a quorum failed,
the vote standing 97 to 51, and the House
at 4:45 adjourned.

Fire Caused Panic in Hotel.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16. Fire which broke
out at an early hour today destroyed a
large manufacturing block at Canal and
Madison streets, causing a loss estimated
at $100,000, and caused a panic among the
guests of the Grand Central Hotel, ad
Jolnlng. For a time It was feared the ho
tel would be destroyed, and many of the
Inmates fled in scant attire into the street.
Among the heaviest losers are the Sl
monds Manufacturing Company, P. F.
Gump & Co., Eureka Manufacturing Com
pany and the Western Brass Works.
Most of the concerns occupying the build
ing were engaged in the machinery busi
ness. Good Ticira.
It will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that croup can be
Erevented. The first sign of croup Is
oarseness. A day or two before the at
tack the child becomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough cough
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even after the rough cough appears, and
it will dispel all symptoms of croup, in
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers, and has never been
known to fail. It Is, In fact, the only'

purchase and meats at the point of sale,
was unsound. Mr. Springer continued:
Salt Delays the Trut.
"The ponding suit In Chicago has had
the effect so far to prevent the organiza
tion by the defendants of a great merger
corporation, capitalized at several hun
dred millions of dollars, for the purpose
of uniting all the packing plants In this
country Into one organization, to be man
aged and controlled by one board of trus
tees. The raisers of livestock in this
country would. If such a merger corpora
tion were formed, be compelled to sell all
their, products to one purchaser, and that
purchaser would fix the prices to be
paid, the number of livestock to be pur
chased, and the places at which they
would purchase and pay for the same.
Gentlemen of this convention, are you
ready and willing to subject all your" In
terests to such a condition? If not. you
owe it to yourselves to aid the Govern
ment of the United States In all its ef
forts to prevent the formation of such
a merger corporation."
Mr. Springer quoted approvingly Presi
dent Roosevelt's speech in Indiana last
September, In which the President said:
"We do not wish to destroy corporations.
We wish to make them subserve the pub
lic good."
The speaker reviewed proposed legisla
tion to restrict trusts, and said:
"Without any amendment to the present
law Its enforcement can be made effectivo
for the suppression of every trust in
the United States. However, the laws of
Congress cannot reach trade and com
merce wholly within a single state."
Hence the necessity for state, legislation
on the subject, nnd Mr. Springer sug
gested that the convention . recommend
to the several state Legislatures the pas
sage of such measure as will effcctiually
prevent abuses.
The speaker submitted the draft of a
bill which he has formulated, "to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful re
straints and monopolies." The bill may
be passed by the Legislature of any state.
Of Its terms, Mr. Springer said:
"It is merely an adaptation of the Sher
man anti-trust law and the Hoar bill,
now pending in the United States Senate,
to trade and commerce wholly within the
boundaries of a state."
Mr. Springer concluded by saying:
"The question whether trusts are unlaw-
tut combination and monopolies in re
straint of trade within a state, or among
the states and with foreign nations. Is now
submitted to the people and to their Sena
tors and Representatives In Congress and
in the State Legislatures. If the people
decide that they will no longer submit to
trust abuses and will rl3o In their ma-
jority and demand the suppression, not
of corporations, but of trust practices,
whether performed by great corporations
or by Individuals, their voice will be
heeded and all unlawful combinations and
monopolies In restraint of trade and com
merce, both within the states and among
the states and with foreign nations, will
be speedily suppressed. In this matter the
voice of the people will be the volco of
God. It will be so powerful that all public
officials and all political parties will
obey it."
Captain Davis was unable to be present
and his paper was read by another dele
gate.
The foiowlng resolutions, recommended
favorably by the executive committee,
were taken up for consideration:
Indorsing the omnibus statehood bill for
New Mexico, Arizona an,d Oklahoma.
Various Resolutions.
Indorsing the policy of the Agricultural
Department in its efforts to eradicate poi
sonous plants on the ranges.
Indorsing the Tongue pure-food bill,
which Is now before Congress, asking that
body to Immediately pass the census bill,
Asking the Agricultural Department to
repeal the forest exclusion order and pro
testing against the Government setting
aside vast tracts of land for game pre
serves.
Transferring the administration of the
affairs of the forest reserves to the De
partment of Agriculture.
Among the speakers on the afternoon
programme was Jerry Simpson, of Ross-
well, N. M., the former Kansas Congress
man. He took for his theme "The Pro
cess of Evolution From a Populist to a.
Stockman." and treated It in his charac
teristic style.
The resolutions enumerated were all
passed after but slight discussion.
When Judge Springer had concluded his
address, President John W. Springer took
occasion to refer to the bill submitted by
the association's counsel. This bill, said
President Springer, would embody all the
good points contained In the Sherman
anti-trust law, as well as the good points
of all bills along this line now pending
in Congress. When It becomes a law It
would, he asserted, regulate any trust
that now exists or that may ever be
formed.
Murdo McKenzIe, president of, the Texas
Livestock Association, asked Judge
Springer If It Is the purpose of the bill
to attack mergers, or only those affecting
packing-houses, to which he replied:
"Every unlawful combination in the re
stralnt of trade within the states will
feel the effects of the law."
In answer to another question. Judge
Snrincer said that a constitutional amend
ment was not advisable, because It would
cause delay and would confer the power
upon Congress to regulate trusts within
each Individual state. Congress already
had all the power It needed.
T. G. Powers, of "Washington, D. C,
chief statistician of the Agricultural De
partment. delivered an address, in which
he urged the taking of more frequent
livestock censuses.

REPUBLICAXS FOR CUBAX TREATY.
None of Them Will Vote Agralnst Its
Ratification.
OREGONLVN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 16. Republican leaders who
have canvassed the situation in the Sen
ate carefully believe that, notwithstand
ing the opposition of certain Democratic
Senators, there Is practically no doubt
about the ratification of the Cuban treaty
In a short time. It Is generally under
stood that there Is today not a single Re
publican vote against the treaty, but that
the party will vote solidly for ratification.
It is further believed that, after the treaty
is laid before the Senate in executive ses
sion next Monday, a few days will suffice
to give all opponents an opportunity to
speak against It.

MAN TORTURED TO DEATH
Fate of American Soldier In Philip
pinesSmith's Conrse.
MANILA. Jan. 16. At the continuation
of the trial of Major Glenn, of the Fifth
Infantry, charged with unlawfully killing
seven prisoners of war In Samar, a Spin
iard testified that while he was held pris
oner at the headquarters of General Luk
ban in Samar, in May, 1500, he saw an
American prisoner tortured to death. The ,
Spaniard said sticks were driven Into the
man's body and he was slowly turned
over until dead. The body was then left
to be devoured by hogs. He did not know
the man's name but thought he was an
otccr. Several officers and men were
captured or missing In Samar In 1900, and
the victim Is believed to have been one of
these.
The defense produced a letter written by
the Insurgent leader, Gucverra, In which
he admitted that the Balanglga massacre
was contrary to the laws of warfare. Cap
tain Abraham P. Bufflngton. of the First
Infantry, testified that Brigadier-General
Jacob H. Smith had frequently offered
protection to the natives and urged them
to come Inside the American lines. Lieu
tenant PraU testified that General Smith,
in his orders, had directed that the war
bo waged against able-bodied men, not
against women and children.

MANY MONEY ORDERS.
Sent to Prominent People by a 3II-
MsHlppl Cranlc.
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 16. A man who
calls himself Sam Sanders, and Is re
puted to reside In Lexington, Miss., has
teen flooding the local postoffico with
money orders for 5 cents and upward,
made payable to President Roosevelt, Sen
ator Piatt. Senator Depew. Senator Mur
phy, ex-Governor Hill, Bird S. Coler,
Richard Croker, the late President Mc-
Klnley, and tho late Speaker Thomas B,
Reed. The amount of each order was !
cents, with the exception of one sent to
David B. Hill for 51, intended as a re
tainer in a legal case, and received by
Mr. Hill yesterday. Mr. Hill and the other
recipients ignored the order.
The postoflice officials have been an
noyed by this man for the past two or
three years, and several years ago the
Postmaster-General notified the postmas
ter at Lexington, Miss., to stop issuing
money orders for such small amounts to
Sanders. TMs had the desired effect until
a few days ago, when a money order sent
by Sanders and issued to Bird S. Coler
was received in this city from Pickens,
Miss.
It is believed that Sanders must have
had some trouble with the authorities at
the above-named postoflice In Mississippi,
for he journeyed to Ebenezer, Miss., about
40 miles distant from tho other places
mentioned, to send the latest orders.

ator was not aware of what was done
until the crash came.

as emphatically Indorse Doan's Ointment
today as I did in the month of June, 1S99.
At that time I went to a drug store for
a box, which I used for itching hem
orrhoids. A few applications gave won
derful relliu. and a short continuation of
the trcatmunt cured me. There have been
symptoms af a recurrence since, but a
few applications of the remedy never fails
to bring positive relief. My opinion of
Doan's Ointment then expressed Is tho
pame today as it was when it was first
brought to my notice."
