INCIDENT
South Carolina Senatorial Squabble
Causes Scene in Senate
Chamber.

Washington, Dec 9.-The senate
chamber was the scene of highly
dramatic episode today, when Senator
Tillman of South Carolina challenged
his colleague, Senator McLaurin, to
resign with him on the spot in order.
to use his own language, that they
might be able to wash their dirty
linen at home" Mr. McLaurin did
not take up the gauge,
The incident today was the direct
sequel of the bitter controversy which
arose between the senators in South
Carolina last spring.
McLaurin arose to question OF
personal privilege today, and proceed
ed to explain what he charged was a
conspiracy to discredit him in his own
state for acts and views which did not
meet the approval of certain demo-
cratic leaders. He declared that he
was being humiliated, and according
to public prints, was to be excluded
from the democratic caucus because
he had acted upon certain public is
sues in way which he considered
was for the best interests of the coun-
try, and the people of his state. He
announced himself a believer in the
old democracy and after denouncing
the new democracy leaders, who, he
said, had brought destruction upon
the party, declared that he could not
be driven from his allegiance into a
party with which he did not care to
affiliate.
Senator Jones, chairman of the DEM
ocratic national committee, denied
that he had any ulterior motives in
not inviting Mr.. McLaurin to enter
the caucus.
Mr.. Tillman reviewed the. whole
controversy
Mr.. Hoar took occasion to express
| the opinion that it was very doubtful
| whether both the South Carolina
seats in the senate were not in reality
vacant. He contended that when the
designations were offered last spring
to the governor they could not be with
drawn thereafter, having become i'm
| mediately operative.
The climax came when Senator Till
| man challenged Mr. McLaurin to joir
| with him in preparing their joint res
| ignations and handing them to the
presiding officer of the senate.
The challenge Mr.. McLaurin did moi
accept, and the episode was brought
to an abrupt close by Senator Lodge
moving an executive session.

Barton Howard Issues Signed Gard
to Public.

Frankfort, KY, Dec 9.-Earton
Howard, charged with the murder of
William Goebel, who has just been
placed in jail here, has issued signed
card to the public in which he denies
any completely in the alleged con-

before the Indictment against him
was made he called on the officers of
the commonwealth and offered to tell
them all he knew of the movements
here before the shooting, and he does
not know who the guilty parties are.
He says that he knows absolutely
nothing of any plot to take the life of
Goebel and that he was a personal
friend of the late democratic leader,
and would have protected him from
harm. He closes with an appeal for
the suspension of judgment in his
case until he has an opportunity to
be heard in court.

FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION
ANDREW CARNEGIE WILL ENDOW
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
LOCATED AT WASHINGTON
Would Make It the Greatest lnstitu-
ton Of Original Research in
the World.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The Washing
ton Post tomorrow will say: Presi-
dent Roosevelt has received a letter
from Andrew Carnegie in which the
latter offers to make a donation Of
100000 to the United States. The
letter will be referred to congress by
the president in special message.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift is for the purpose
OF establishing in Washington uni
versity for higher education. AS far
as his idea has been developed, it pro-
poses a gift after the manner of the
bequest of James Smithson, the En-
glishman, who gave $1,0O0,00O for the
establishment and maintenance OF
what is known as the Smithsonian In
stitute. Smithson desired the insti-
tute founded by him to be factor
in 'the deffusion of scientific knowl-
edge" Mr.. Carnegie proposes that the
be the greatest institution in the
world for the development of higher
education He has consulted President
Gilman of John Hopkins university,
President Hadley of Yale university,
President Elliot of Harvard, former
President White of Cornell and all
the leading educators of the country.
They heartily endorse his plans. The
proposed university will not interfere
in the least with the educational in
stitutions already established, but will
present plan it's doors will be open
only to those who take up post-grad-
| uate course.
Carnegie also wants the new uni
versity to take the lead in original
| research so that the United States can
eventually stand side by side with
! Germany, if not excel that nation in
scientific development.
Mr.. Carnegie's plan does not propose
| national university in the sense that
an appropriation would be asked or
| uCCuCO A0 SONC1AlA ID olHp1y
| to be the trustee of magnificent
| endowment just as it administers the
fund bequeathed by Smithson. 1t is
probable that board of regents will
be appointed as in the case of the
| Smithsonian Institute or it may be
that the government will be represent
ed in the board of directors, which it
is contemplated shall consist of pen
| of national reputation. Mr.. Carnegie
has kept the proposed endowment a
secret until he could definitely arrange
the plans and scope of the new uni
4 versity. Even yet all these details
have not been arranged so that little
more than the outline of his gift can
| be published. 1t is known, however,
that he does not propose to ask from
congress a single foot of land upon
which the university buildings will
| be constructed That expense to be
| borne out of his endowment. No site
has yet been selected. 1t will, how
ever. necessarily be very large, as it
is proposed to erect a series of magni-
ficent structures.
The amount of money to be given by
Mr.. Carnegie equals the sum of the
present endowment fund of Harvard,
and is considerably more than the in
vested fun OF Yale.
With the Catholic university, the
Methodist anniversary and the propos
ed Carnegie university Washington
will be the educational center of the
