WASHINGTON. Fob. 22. The Jlepubll
can members of the ways and means com
mittee, who have been considering the
question of concessions to Cuba at sev
eral meetings during the week. Anally
reached an agreement this afternoon
which Is contfIered a victory for those
wh- have favored tariff concessions to
that island. The action taken was tho
ndopuon of the following resolution:
"Resolved, That It is the sense of the
majority members of this committee (sub
ject to the approval of the Republican
members of the House In caucus assem
bled, to be held as soon as practicable)
that the committee report a bill in sun
stance authorizing the President to nego
tiate a reciprocity treaty with the Cuban
Republic, when established, providing' for
the entry of our products Into Cuba upon
such terms as shall be deemed by him to
be advantageous to us; provided, how
ever, that the treaty shall secure for our
products going Into Cuba duties less than
thove allowed to the other countries, sub
stantially equivalent to tho concession
made by us; that the consideration upon
our part for such treaty shall be a con
cession of 20 per cont of our tariff duties
rpon Imports of tho products of Cuba,
upon this condition: That Cuba shall first
enact our immigration laws."
By the terms of this resolution, tho
proposition agreed on by tho Republican
members of the committee will be sub
mitted to a Republican caucus to be held
next Tuesday. This action is practically
the proposition submitted a few days ago
by Representative Long, of Kansas, ex
cept that tho amount of the concession
Is cut In half, and the condition precedent
that Cuba enact our Immigration laws Is
added. The action by the committee this
afternoon was preceded by a conference
at the White House between the Presi
dent and Representatives Grosvenor of
Ohio. Russell of Connecticut, and Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, all of whom have here
tofore stood out against any form of reci
procity provision. The action of the Re
pubMcan members was unanimous.

hrongod with people who had been at

body was on his feet. Not a word, how

the chamber for the moment quite help

was restored partially, and in the midst

two hours it discussed the event behind

When the doors were opened It was
made known that both the South Caro

of the Senate, to make apologies to the

o'clock, but left early.- Neither Senator
would make a statement.
The liny In Dctull.
In accordance with a long-time" custom
on Washington s birthday, the farewell
address of Washington was read imme
diately after the convening of that body
at 11 o'clock. Burrows read the Immortal
document.
At the coneius'en of the reading at 11:50
Lodg presented a memorial from the
Massachusetts Legislature of such an
amendment to the Constitution as would
place it in the power of Congress to enact
laws regarding the hours of labor In tho
various states.
When routine business had bren con
cluded Tillman resumed his speech in op
position to the pending Philippine tariff
hill which he began yesterday. Discuss
ing the Philippine bill, he declared that no
revenues were needed by the Insular Gov
ernment In the Ph'lippines, as it had
ample funds. The .sole object of the hill
was that the Philippine Archipelago should
be exploited and be made to furnish an op
portunity to the few to reap a golden har
vest from the Islands. He declared fur
ther along, with respect to Cuba, that the
purpose of the Administration Is to give
protection to the Cuban plantations in
order to put millions of dollars in the
pockets of the sugar and tobacco trusts.
Tims It is, too. with the Philippines. It is
proposed to give the Oriental archipelago
the same sort of free trade as Porto Rico
lias been given. This Is the "game," he
InFlstcd, and just as sure as the sun sets
it is the purpose to afford American capi
talists everj" opportunity to acquire pos
session of valuable properties In the Phil
ippines. "Yet," said he "God save the
mark! we pretend to be honest."
Tillman maintained that instead of try
ing to civilize and elevate the Filipinos
the Government imght better have spent
Senator Benjamin Tlllmnn.
some of the $4.O0,CX expended In tho Phil
ippines In colonlz ng the negro In the
Southern States of this country.
When he later directed a question at
"his friends on the other jide," Spooner
Inquired to whom he referred.
"I have many friends on the Republican
side. said Tillman. "Personally you are a
nice, clean-hearted sort of men. but po
litically you arc the most infamous cow
ards and hypocrites that ever happened."
(Laughter.)
Colloquy With Spooner.
In the course of his speech Tillman be
came involved in a lively colloquy with
Spooner regarding the ratification of the
Paris treaty. The South Carolina Sen
ator referred to Spooner"? comments In
his speech yesterday upon the part taken
by William J. Bryan in securing the rati
fication of the treaty. He argued with the
Wisconsin Senator that the Inilucnce of
Mr. Bryan was potent, but Insisted that
even his influence was not sufficient to
Induce the Senato to ratify the treaty.
After they had done all that It was
possible for them to do. Tillman asserted,
the Republicans yet lacked votes enough
to secure ratification.
"You know," ho shouted, shaking his
finger at the Republican side, "how these
votes necessarily were secured.'
"How were they secured?' demandei
Spooner.
"I know, if the Senator does not." re
plied Tillman. "I have received Informa
tion in confidence from that side of the
chnmber. I know from that that Improper
Inlluenres were used In getting those
votes."
"Name the man," insisted Spooner,
"upon whom those influences were brought
to bear. It is due the Senate and due tho
country that you nnme him. A man who
impeaches another in confidence is a cow
ard. If the Senator knows of any man
who has been Improperly influenced ho
should name him."
"I know," asserted Tillman, "that the
patronage the Federal patronage of a
state has been parceled out to a Senator
since the ratification of that treaty."
"What state?" demanded Spooner.
"South Carolina," shouted Tillman.
"Then.' said Spooner. "I leave you to
fight the matter out with your colleague."
"Well," retorted Tillman. "I neer shirk
the responsibility for a statement I make.
I know that hc(McLaurln) voted for the
treaty. I know that Improper Influences
were brought to bear. I know what I be
lieve." "You simply believe," retorted Spooner,
"what you do not know."
A Short-Lived Pence.
This ended the Incident for the time,
but tho feeling engendered manifested It
self later In a thrilling and sensational
scene.
Tillman, continuing his speech, rend from
letters from some soldiers in the Philip
pines, detailing the alleged cruelties prac
ticed upon the natives by the American
forces. He told of 160 Filipinos to whom,
tho writer stated, the "water cure" had
been administered, resulting In the death
of all but 2C of them.
Hoar interrupted to say that he had re
ceived many letters making charges
against the American forces, but In every
instance the writers had given him the
Information cither In confidence or as In
cidents of which they merely had heard
of, and which they professed to know
nothing personally. He protected against
Information of that kind, nnd declared:
"I do not want anybody to tell me in strict
confidence of a murder."
Burton interrupted to defend General
Funston. upon whom, he said, the com
ments of Tillman had reflected, as the sol
diers who were charged In the letters the
South Carolina Senator had read with
cruelties were under General Funston's
command. Burton read General Funston's
explicit denial of the very story which had
been referred to by Tillman, the denial
concluding with the statement:
"This statement I wish to brand as an
atrocious lie. without the slightest foun
dation. Statements of this kind are sim
ply braggadocio, and braggadocio Is re
peated In the Senate of the United
States."
Burton quoted General Funston as say
ing that practices of this kind were some
times resorted to by tho Macabcbc scouts
(natives).
"That's a confession of the truth of the
charges," shouted Tillman. Ho dis
claimed, however, any reflections upon
General Funston. Soon afterward Till
man concluded his remarks.
Scarcely had he resumed his scat when
there was enacted one of tho most sensa
tional scenes ever witnessed in the his
tory of the United Stiles Senate.
.McLaurln Takes It Up.
Pale to the lips and trembling with
emotion, which in vain he endeavored to
control, McLaurin rose nnd addressed the
Senate, speaking to a question of per
sonal privilege.
Instantly a hush fell over the Senate
and over the thronss In the galleries. The
very atmosphere seemed chirgcd with
excitement. With breathless interest, the
auditors, both on the floor and In the
,gallerlest hung upon every word uttered
by the South Carolina Senator. Despite
the emotion under which he labored. Mc
Laurln seemed to be the calmest man in
the chamber. He spoke with delibentlon
and hl3 enunciation was clear and dis
tinct. Ever word he uttered seemed to
be felt, as well as heard. In the remot
est part of the historic old hall.
"Mr. President," he began, 'I rise to a
question of personal privilege."
He had voiced less than a dozen words,
yet the excitement by this time had be
come intense. All seemed to realize that
a portentous event was about to happen.
Senator Scott moved restlessly about In
tho rear of thy chamber and Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms Layton rose from his
seat as If to listen the better to what
wis about to be said.
"During my absence," continued Mc
Laurin, "a few moments ago from the
Senate chamber, in attendance upon the
committee on Indian affairs, the Senator
who has Just taken his scat (Tillman)
said that Improper Influences hid been
used in changing the vote of somebody
on that treaty, and then went on later
and said that It applied to the Senator
from South Carolina, who had been giv
en the patronage in that state. I think
I got the sense of the controversy"
Still controlling himself with an effort,
but still speaking very calmly and with
a carefully modulated tone. McLaurln
said, and his words cut through the Sen
ate chamber like a knife:
"I desire to state. Mr. President. I
would not use as strong linguago as I
intend, had I not soon after the Senate
met replied to these Insinuations and said
they were untrue.
"I now say," continued Mr. McLaurln,
with distinct emphasis upon every word,
and half turning toward his colleague.
Tillman, who pat in the sam row. only
three seats tway. "that the statement is
a willful, malicious and deliberate He."
Ilexinninp; of the I'ljjiit.
McLaurln got no further with his state
ment. Tillman, who was occupyirg his
regular real on the main aisle, sprang
with tlgcr-llke ferocity at his colleague.
Teller, who was sitting at his' desk be
tween the two South Carolina Senators,
was swept as-ldc without ceremony. In
deed, the Infuriated Tillman climbed ovr
him In his efforts to rench McLaurln.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mc
Laurln sprang to meet the attack half
way. Tillman aimed a wild blow at his
colleague with his right fist. It Unded
upon McLaurln's forehead Just above the
left eye, although Its force was partially
spent upon McLaurin'n arm. which he
had raised in an cflort to parry the
blow.
Instantly McLaurln's rlht arm shot
out, the blow landing upon TUlmin's
face, apparently upon the nose. Again
Tillman struck out, frantically this time,
with his left hand. The blow did not
land upon McLs-uiln. Then followed a
wild scrimmage, both Senators clutching
at each other madly.
The Comhiitnnt.s Separated.
'Senators Warren and Scott, both of
whom are powerful men, rushed toward
the combatants to separate them. Assist
ant Sergeant-at-Arms Lay ton sprang over
desks in-Hiis efiorts to reach the bellig
erent Senators. Just as he seized Mc
Laurln, Tiiltnan aimed a left-handed blow
at his colleague which struck Layton in
the face. Fortunately the blow was
glancing and did no special harm. Lay
ton tore them apart. Both Senators were
still striking wildly at each other, some
of the blqws landing upon Layton.
An Instantiate the angry Senators were
pinioned In the arms of Senators Warren
and Scott. They were dragged further
apart, although they still made Ineffectual
efforts to get at each other. Finally they
were forced Into their seats.
McLaurin, although very pale, seemed
to be the calmer of the two. Tillman wao
as white- as a .heoi. As He pat down in
his seat he drew hi3 handkerchief from
his pocket and wiped blood from his face,
that seemingly was flowing slightly from
tho. nose. Until that time it had been
i-upposcd lhat no blood had been drawn In
the encounter.
During the fielit Senators all over the
chamber were on their feet. Not u word,
however, was spoken. The Senate never
in Its history had received such a shock.
The president pro, tern., Frye, was the
first to regain composure. In calm and
unlmpassloned tones he directed that the
Senate be In order. He rapped sharply
two or three times with his gavel, and In
a few minutes a semblance of order was
l
'Senator John I. McLanrln.
obtained, although Senators, having by
this time partly recovered from the shock,
moved hurriedly about the chamber.
The Public Excluded.
Galllnger was first to address the chair.
"Mr. President," said he, "I ask that the
doors be closed."
Again the president pro tem. requested
tho Senate to be In order and that Sena
tors rceume their seats.
It was reserved for Prltchard In a meas
ure to relieve the strain under which all
were laboring. He desired to addrer-3 the
Senato on the pending Philippine bill, and.
calling for the attention of the chair, he
said: "If the Senator from South Caro
lina (McLaurln) has concluded"
He was Interrupted Dy McLaurln, who
said, very calmly: "I will now proceed
with my remarks, which were so uncere
moniously Interrupted."
"I call the Senator from South Carolina
to order." Interrupted Teller
"Which one of the Senators?" Inquired
McLaurln, with some asperity.
"This one." said Teller, indicating Mc
Laurln, "and the other one too, for that
matter."
"Mr. President." Interjected Forakrr.

"I join In that. Surely." he continued
with great feeling, his face pale with
excitement, "there Is some way to pro
tect the dignity of this body."
"Certainly," said Burrows, who had
been endeavoring vainly to get the eye
of the chair, "and the Senate cannot let
this thing pass."
"Mr. President," again said Galllnger,
"I ask that the doors might be closed."
"Mr. President," said Foraker. who
had moved into the main aisle, "I move
that tho Senate go Into executive ses
sion." Without comment, every Senator, still
laboring under the emotion which all en
deavored to conceal, the motion was
agreed to and at 2:52 the doors were
closed.
The Secret Sewslon.
Tho proceedings after the doors were
closed covered almost two hours of time,
and resulted In the adoption of a reso
lution In the form of an order, as follows:
"Ordered that the two Senators from the
State of South Carolina be declared in
contempt of the Senate on account of the
nlterc.itlon and personal encounter be
tween them this day in onon session, and
that the matter be referred to the com
mittee on privileges and elections, with
instructions to report what action shall be
taken by the Senate In regard thereto. '
The discussion which occurred In tho
secret session was based largely upon the
foregoing resolution, the first suggestion
of which was made by Foraker. In pre
senting the resolution Immediately after
the doors of the chamber were closed,
Foraker took occasion to remark that
the occurrence had been an outrage upon
the dignity of the Senate, of which the
Senate should take cognizance.
Hoar indorsed tht; resolution of Foraker,
but said he thought the action of the
Senate should be more explicit than con
templated by the resolution. He there
fore moved to amend It by ordering that
the two Senators from South Carolina be
declared In contempt by. the Senate for
disorderly conduct and speech in Its pres
ence, und that both should be taken into
custody. In support of this amendment
he said that any court or any other parlia
mentary body would commit men for so
grave an offense against Its dignity to
await its Judgment.
Blackburn and other Senators then stat
ed that the two South Carolina Senators
were willing to apologize, and thus purge
themselves of contempt, and, in view of
this statement. Hoar withdrew the portion
j ot nis avnenument proviumg lor ineir com
mitment. Foraker then accepted the
amendment of Hoar, and it was embodied
in the resolution.
Serlonsncsx of the Offense.
Before the vote was taken, a number of
Senators spoke, and while there were
many kind utterances regarding both Sen
ators, there was no exception In the opin
ions expressed as to the gravity and seri
ousness of the offense. Among the Sen
ators who thus declared themselves were:
Teller: Fairbanks, Hanna, Blackburn and
Spoonr.
Iianna suggested that, serious as had
been the encounter In the Senate, It was
not so grave as the charge of miscon
duct -made against McLaurln, and he
Ihought that any Investigation undertaken
should extend to that matter.
Teller, while uniting with other Senators
In deprecating me occurrence, said that it
was not unprecedented: that there had
been other similar affairs on the floor of
the Senate, and Instanced among others
the encounter between Senators Benton
and Footc. He also suggested that Spooner
was entirely blameless for today's "occur
rence, because his Interrogatories had pro
voked Tillman to make explicit the
charges which had been but vaguely made
before hls interference In the debate.
A motion was made by Teller looking to
the opening of the doors. This was voted
down, 18 to 42, The Republican Senators
generally expressed themselves as willing
to hear tho apologies promised, but gen
erally insisted that there should first be
action on the resolution. The resolution
was then adopted by a unanimous vote.
Both the South Carolina Senators re
mained In their seats during the entire
session.
After the secret session, the Senate, at
5:25, resumed business in open session.
Blackburn made a statement of what had
been made In executive session, and atked
whether any statement could be made, to
the Senate in open session by either of the
Senators while they were in contempt of
the Senate. There was a long discussion
of the question, and finally President pro
tern Frye ruled that the chair could not
recognize the Senators while they were
in contempt, but that nny Senator making
a motion that the Senators In contempt be
heard would be recognized.
At the conclusion of the ruling of Frye,
Blackburn moved that the Senators from
South Carolina bo given the floor. The
motion was carried.
Tillman's Apolojcy.
In a breathless silence Tiliman rose to
address the Senate. He was calm and
collected and gave no Indication by his
manner of the tremendous scene in which
he had been one of the principal actors
but a short time before. He spoke delib
erately, and every one leaned forward
eagerly to catch his words. He said:
"Mr. President, I have always esteemed
It a high honor and privilege to be a mem
ber of this body. I had never had any
legislative experience when I came here,
and my previous service as Governor ot
South Carolina for four years had unfitted
me in a measure to enter this august as
sembly with that dignity and regard
proper regard, I will say for It3 traditions
and habits and rules that Ls desirable.
"I have been here several years. I have
in that tkne learned to judge men with
little more catholicity of spirit than I did
when 1 came here. I have seen a great
many people In whose personal Integrity
and honor and regard for their obligations
as gentlemen I have implicit confidence;
but I have seen so much ot partisanship;
I have seen so much of what I consider
slavish submission to party domination,
that I confess I have felt somewhat at a
loss how to judge men who in one aspect
appeared to be so high and clean and hon
orable, and in another appeared more or
less dcspeclable. I say this because of the
fact that one of the Senators has seen lit
to allude to some matters that occurred
this afternoon.
"I now wish to say that, so far as any
action of mine has caused any Senator
here or the Senate as a body or the people
of tho United States, to feel that I have
been derelict and that I have not shown
that courtesy and proper observance of
the rules of this body, that I regret it; I
apologize for It. I was ready to do that
two minutes after I had acted, but under
the provocation which was known to all
of you. I could not have acted otherwise
than I did. and while I apologize to the
Senate, and nm sorry that It has occurred,
I have nothing more to say."
McLaurln's Apology.
McLaurln rose at the conclusion of Tilt
man's brief address. He, too. was calm,
but it was evident that he was suppress
ing his emotion by an effort. He spoke
with greater feeling than had been mani
fested by his colleague, particularly when
he told the Senate how sorely he had
been tried by the accusations which had
been made against him from time to time.
His statement follows:
"Mr. President, I did not realize that 1
was In contempt of the Senate, nor do 1
think now. If my words are read In the
record, that I was In contempt of the
Senato, but at the same time, as the Sen
ate has ruled that I am in contempt of
this honorable body, I beg leave to apol
ogize. "I desire to say, Mr. President, that 1
have been very sorely and severely tried.
I was in attendance on J.he committee on
Indian affairs when I received a message
from a friend that my presence was need
ed here.
"The history of the vote on the Spanish
treaty is known to all of you. There have
been statements In newspapers and Insin

proper motives In connection with my vote
on that treaty. Knowing la my own eouI,

found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
A letter recently received by Dr. Hartman
from the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, Ohio,
reads as follows :
" Vc have lately given Peruna a trial, for
though the medicine was not new to us, we
had not tried It sufficiently to testify to its
worth as we are now ready to do.
" Wc find Peruna an excellent tonic nnd a
valuable remedy for catarrhal affections of
the throat. Wc have recommended it to
our friends and have good reports from
them as to its merits." Yours respect
fully, URSULINE SISTERS.
Dr. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in the South
west reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
"I can testify from experience to tho
efficiency of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used It. For years I suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all reme
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
Spring I went to Colorado, hoping to bo
benefited by a change of climate, and
while there a friend advised me to try
Peruna. After using two bottles I found
myself very much improved. The re
mnins of my old disease being now so
slight, I consider myself cured, yet for a
while I. Intend to continue the use of
Peruna. I am now treating another pa

leucorrhoea. I have not a doubt that a
cure will be speedily effected."

From a Catholic Institution In Ccn
trnl Ohio comcft the following rec
ommend from the SNter Superior:
and knowing that God In heaven also
knows that It was false, when I was told
that It was centered down to me, I was
so outraged by what I considered an as
sault upon my honor as a man, and es
pecially in view of the fact that In the
beginning of the session, after the action
of my party associates. I made a most
careful and deliberate statement explain
ing all those matters, I did not feel as a
man that I could ever hold up my neau
again If I did not resent It In the place
where It was delivered. In the strongest
and most forcible terms that I could em
ploy.
"With that, Mr. President, I am done,
and I have this to say: If there Is any
more ta'l: of that kind, or any more"
Looked Mice More Trouble.
As McLaurln uttered the last sentences
of his addresr. Intimating that It there

of the Senate, and only by a vote of the
Senate can either be recognized, cither to
speak or to vote on any question what
ever. This is the judgment of all Sena

Peruna is such a remedy. The Sisters
of Charity know this. Ys'hen catarrhal
diseases make their appearance they are
not disconcerted, but know exactly what
remedy to use. These wise and prudent
Sisters have found Peruna a never-failing
safeguard. They realize that when
a disease Is of catarrhal nature. Peruna
Is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many to be
entirely different diseases that dyspep
sia is catarrh of the stomach and female
weakness is due to catarrh of the pelvic
organs the Sisters are fully aware, con
sequently Pertina is their remedy In both
these very common and annoying dis
eases. If you do not receive prompt and satis

Young Corbett's Opinion of It.
SPRINGFIELD. O., Feb. 22. "I will de
fend the title to the championship against
anybody In the world, but nobody can
force me to fight till I am ready, and I
think the public will let me know when
it is time to fight again," said Young
Corbett tonight, as he read the Associated
Press bulletin announcing the victory of
Terry McGovern at Louisville. "I am
glad McGovern won. I think It disposes
of his claim that he was not in condition
when he fought me at Hartford last
Thanksgiving. I beat him In two rounds,
and he asserted thnt he was not In condi
tion. Now It takes him 15 rounds to put
Dave Sullivan out, and Sullivan was never
better than a second-rater. I beat Mc
Govern fair, and was the first man that
ever made him break ground. I can do It
again any time, but I am not going to be
forced to fight."
