SENATE
PR CEEDINGS.

RaCtIlng RunDlng DEBATE Carried on
for More Than an Hour. Teller
Charges Hale and SpOOner With
Trying to Defeat the Resolution.
WASHINGTON. April 19.-The senate
opened with a discussion of the civil
service bill. Senator Cockrell inter-
polated a discussion of the issue by
renarks on the Cuban matter. A
rattling running debate was carried on
for more than an hour. General Hale
declared the democrats and populists,
by their votes, had resisted in q
partisan and unpetriotic sense
the president of the United States.
Messrs. Bacon, Spooner, Mantle, Can
n IN, Teller, Tillman, Butler and others
became involved in a warm discussion.
S enatOr Cockrell got his blood up and
swung his arms like a wind mill, and at
lines went for the republicans in hot
fashion. Senator Hale was calmer,
with his replies, but he stoutly con-
tended that the republicans we're right
in their votes, and others were
decidedly wrong. Mr.. Cannon,
charged that it was we'll known two
or three days ago that under pressure
and orders from the White House and
''elsewhere," enough of the senate,
republicans weuld at the proper time,
surrender, SO sas to practically
aid in adopting the resolutions of the
white house. Mr.. Spooner in fiery
tunes, observed that such talk was
merely "party play" by the demo-
Gratis in the face of a great ext
gency. There was good deal of
ak of this sort on both sides
and a half dozen sena tors tried to
speak simultau eously. m uch to the de-
light of the people in the galleries.
Senator Teller, speaking for the silver
re epublicans, was heard to ex-
claim as he faced Hale and
Spooner: 'Oh, we don't care what you
say, we ara not afraid of the record
You did your best to beat the resOlu-
tiOpS on at least two vOtes.''

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 23.-No lyncnlng
has so shocked the people of the state as
the tragedy at Lake City yesterday when
Frazier B. Baker, the negro postmaster
and his family suffered so terribly at the
hands of a mob.
Bakers wife gives an account OF the
midnight attack. They had, she says re-
ceived several warnings. The first vas
two months ago, when her husband was
shot through the shoulder one night as he
left the postoffice. There was no clew to
who did the shooting.
A month later the little postoftice was
burned with all its contents, but 1t could
not be proved who applied the torcn.
Three weeks ago Baker rented another
little house, and, using the front for the
postofice, occupied the back with his fam

Feb. 16, says the wounded woman they
were aroused at night by firing of guns
around the house and the tearing of spin
tiers in the wooden partition. But the
essailants went off and no one was struck.
Some time during Monday night, Mrs.
Baker says, she was awakened by the
Eight and sound of flames. She aroused
her husband and children. Baker ran 10

out. This was the signal for a fusilade,
and he fell back dead shot through the

The woman knows little more. She re-
ceived another bullet in the leg and fell
by the side of the building, and would
have burned to death had not some ne
groes who arrived soon after the mob left,
dragged her away.
Rosetta, the eldest girl, was shot through
the left arm, and her leg broken.
Cora, the next eldest, was shot in the
right arm.
The boy Linkum, 10 years old, is wound

The charred bodies of Baker and the
child were taken to his former home in
Florence to-day for burial.
The Governor to-day offered a reward OF
$500 for the conviction of one or more OF
the perpetrators of the crime.
Negroes about Lake City made threats
of burning the town yesterday, but all is

ing them that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others and

cured by careful and skillful handling Is
allowed to sap the energy of thousands
who might free themselves of the trouble
in few days.
