before that Editor Ball was acting

saving that he was the political
daddy of no man and was opposed
to Irby.
"Well, you are not for me-"
"That'b true, too," rejoned Mr..
Ball. Senator McLaurin then
proceeded to severely attack Irby's
record while in the Senate. Before
beginning he explained the terms
"paired" and "vote called"
Irby's record for the first session
of the Fifty second for the first
session of the Fity-second Congress
was as follows: Votes taken, SO.
Irby voted 13 times, paired 10
times, not paired 66.
The first session of the Fifty.
third Congress, he said, was
called to repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. Sena-
tor Irby's love for silver should
be seen in bis record during this
session. There were 49 votes
taken; Irby voted 19 times and
did not vote 80; was not paired
% times; did not answer to cali
of Senate II calls. Col. Irby's
record for this Congress was gone
into further.
Senator McLaurin then declared:
"I am sick loking up such record.
Here was life and death struggle
for silver and absolute Indifference
as to it's fate"
AS to his absence from the Fifty
third Congress. Col. Irby explained
by saying that he and Senator
Butler absented themselves to
break quorum and keep the
Senate from repeating the Sherman
purchasing clause. 1t was
filibustering measure. He was
always on hand to cast his vote.
As to his absence from the
Fifty-second Congress, Col, Irby
said that was Presidential elect
ion year and he was at home as
State chairman looking after the
interest of the party. You all
know the Conservatives didn't
kLow they were whipped, and they
were whipped, and they were
planning to capture the May
convention. Tillman was running
for reelection. We wanted the
delegates to The Chicago convent
ion. I was sent there, and this
passing back and forward accounts
for much of my absence" Besides,
continued Col. Irby, he was paired
On all positions. On other questions
his "pair" would always ascertain
by telegram how he stood.
Senator McLaurin again returned
to the Congressioal Reco1d. After a
little he asked: EDO you want to
elect a man to the Senate to
represent the State and then let
him absent himself to run all the
State?'
Irby-"I have quit that now."]
eyes. because the people have
quit you," answered. McLaurin.
Col. Irby, getting permission
to interrupt Senator McLaurin,
jumped on him for his affiliations
with SO many parties. He again
excused his absences from the
Senate on the ground of sickness
and death in his family.
Senator McLaurin continued
on this aggressive line for a while
longer and then PROCEEDED to
make hs usual tariff speech. His
speech in all lasted about 2 hours
frequently applauded and the
crowd evidently favored it. Before
taking his seat, McLaurin took
a hand primary on his tariff views. \
Abont one-half showed. their
approval by voting. 1t was after
2 o'clock when Senator McLaurin
had concluded. The audience at
once began to leave the court

RIOTING AT SHANGHAI.
One Thousand Coolies Resist An In
crease In Municipal Tax Imposed
by the Authorities ON LabOrers,
and Precipitnte Riot.

Tacoma, Wash, April 3O.-Chinese ad-
vices received here today say: At Shang.
hal on April 5, 1000 striking coolies pre-
cipitated riot, and started to burn the
city and assault the local militia. The
civil authorities called ont volunteer SOL
diers to the number of 500, and signalled
several warships to send marines ashore.
Promptly, parties we're landed from the
U. .. warship Monocacy, and the British
Linnet and Plover. Heavy
guards were posted at the British and
American consulates, the central police
station, and other important posts, while
volunteers hurried to the assembly posts,
fully armed. The rioting coolies, who
made one attempt to form line and
face the marines and volunteers, had one
volley directed at their shins an6 this
caused them to fee, leaving several
wounded in the streets. That evening q
large gathering of rioters began stoning
a company of German troops on duty at
the bridge across the Yong King Pang
river. Re.entorcements were brought up,
and charge made, driving the rioters
into French town. They took refuge in
isolated houses, and their leaders were
arrested. The fire com panies were kept
busy all night extinguishing fires set BY
the rioters. The strike was occasioned
BY an increase in local taxes, imposed on
laborers BY the Shanghai municipa coun-
oil. The coolies were urged to resist by
Chinese agitators, who declared that they
could win, by holding out. Following
the riot the municipal council concluded
to postpone the increased tax three
months. The coolies resumed work, de-
claring they would be ready to strike
again, three months hence.
