direction. There was look OF trouble
upon his we'll bleached face and a de-
cided flush of red passed over his coun-
tenance at intervals, as if to punctuate
the vigorous remarks Senator Tillman
was making.
1t appears that Senator Tillman
charged Senator Hoar with committing
an act that was not only cowardly, but
beneath the lowest grade of senatorial
courtesy and dignity. He charged that
it would have been more manly had
Senator Hoar made the attack on bis
personal responsibility, instead OF
shielding himself behind a petition
signed by persons unknown to the
Massachusetts senator.
The incident passed for the time,
being without any public demonstra-
ton the part of Senator Tillman, but
the incident is not regarded as closed.
The South Carolina senator is natur-
ally indignant on the subject and he
may make Senator Hoar feel uncom-
Portable some day.

TOOK ADVANTAGE
OF TILLMN.
SENATOR HOAR'S PETITION
SIGNED BY NEGROES.
South Carolina Senator Gave Mas
sachusetts Senator a Piece of
His Mind. Incident Is
Not Yet Closed.

Senator Hoar has invited the dis
pleasure of Senator Tillman by lending
himself TO a party of colored men to
make personal attack upon the
.Pitchfork" senator through senator
rial petition.
Senator Hoar presented to the senate
a long petition, signed by number OF
colored citizens, which severely ar
raigned Senator Tillman, by name, for
language against the negro race during
a recent debate in the senate. The pc
titioners claim that the language used
bv Senator Tillman was disgrace to
that honorable body, calculated to cor
rupt the morals of all who associated
with the senior senator from South
Carolina.
In presenting the petition Senator
Hoar remarked that he supposed the
petitioners were citizens Of the state
of South Carolina.
Senator Tillman was not in the SEN
ate when the petition was presented,
but his attention being called to the
subject he took the paper from the
clerks desk and ascertained its con-
tents. He found that the signers of
the petition are colored men residing
in Washington, and not his cOnstitu-
ents. as Senator Hoar had stated.
With determined expression on his
strong face the South Carolina senator
went over to call the venerable Mas
sachusetts senator to account for the
part he had played in the transaction.
WAS EVIDENTLY WARM TALK.
The conversation that passed be-
tween the two senators was in subdued
tones, for Senator Allen of Nebraska
was trying to untangle his record on
free silver, which some careless news
paper correspondent had snarled in one
of the Nebraska papers. 1t was easy
to observe that Sen ator Tillman was
warm under his necktie, as he had a
right to be, and he looked and acted as
if he was giving Senator Hoar good
sized chunk of his rough and tumble
mind.
The Massachusetts, senator was evil
IDENTIFY trying to furnish satisfactory
explanation for having presented pc
tition making such violent attack
upon a brother senator, but he did not
appear to be making success IN that

The Dreaded Disease Has Appeared III This
Country.

At a meeting of the San Francisco
board of health it was announced that
all animals at the quarantine station,
which were inoculated with virus from
the body of the Chinaman who expir
ed few days ago in that city under
suspicious circumstances had died
with the exception of monkey and it
was in a dying condition.
An autopsy of rats and guinea pigs
showed that they had developed symp-
toms of genuine bubonic plague.
After discussing the matter the
board decided that the Chinaman who
died had been afflicted with the
plague. A house to house examination
will begin at once.

MADE THE RATS DRUNK.
Maryland Farmer Uses No1eI Method to Rid
Barn of the Rodents.

Rats in large mum bers have been de-
stroying the grain on the farm of Pat
rick Ryan in Allegany county Mary
land.
Traps, shooting, poison and other
devices for getting rid of them failed
when Mr.. Ryan hit upon the novel
plan of getting them drunk. He
secured large barrel and
placed a large amount of corn in it,
well soaked with whiskey. This the
rats ate rapidly. and when Mr.. Ryan
went to the barrel yesterday he found
eighty-two intoxicated rats, which he
soon killed.

MANY CLAIMS ARISE
From the Occupation Of New Terri
tory By the United States

TVasfin rt0n Nov 1.-THE president
Will submit TO congress at the approach
ing session the claims for indemnifica-
ton and other substantial recOmpense
OF the American occupation OF the Phil
ippines. The corporation claims dam
ages for the interruption of their cable
business by the American forces. This
claim was reduced to a very low figure,
but was diSau0Wed. The Eastern TX
tension company claims that II has
franchise from the Spanish govern
neut obtained before the war, granting
it a monopoly Of cable business through
out the Philippines and that this mo-
nopoly has been invaded by the action
of the United states government AT
the same time the Manila Dagupan
Railroad company, the only railway IN
the Philippines. set Up a claim, first
for compensation for the use Of its prop
erty by the United States and second,
for the continuance Of an annual sub
sidy Of 4. soc pounds. guaranteed by the
Spanish government against the Phil
ippiueS revenues
The contention that the subsidy in
the last case and the monopoly of the
Eastern Extension company, having
been legally obtained must be contin-
ued. was recognized as q very important
one and was referred to the attorney
general. His decision was to the effect
that these claims were not based upon
a contract right But ne also held that
both the cable and the railway company
had good, equitable claims 1t is pos
sibIe that the subsidy may be paid tenn
pOrariiy from the revenues of the
islands themselves. but it is the inten-
ton 10 refer the whole subject to con-
gress IN order that it may do justice to
the companies. There has been q good
deal of correspondence on this subject
and the British authorities are earnestly
supporting the claims Of their citizens.
Another set Of claims which Will be
referred to congress are those arising
from the detention and isolation Of Jap
anese subjects in connection with the
bubonic plague last summer in San
Francisco and the claims Of japanese
subjects sustained through the action of
the Hawaiian government.
