CHALLENGED TO RESIGN

He Denounced the Democratic Leader
ship-RepIy Of Chairman Jones.
Senator TilIman Renewed His
Former Offer.
Washington. Dec. 1O.-The senate
chamber was the scene of a highly
dramatic episode yesterday, when
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
challenged his colleague, Senator Nc
Laurin, 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 Incl
dent was the direct sequel of the very
bitter controversy which arose be-
tween the senators in South Carolina
last spring Mr.. McLaurin arose to
a question of personal privilege yes
terday and proceeded to explain what
he charged was a conspiracy to dis
credit him in his own state for acts
and views which did not meet the
approval of certain Democratic lead
ers. He declared that he was being
Inundated, and, according to public
prints was to be excluded from the
Democratic caucus because he had act
ed upon certain public issues in a
way which he considered was for the
best interests of the country and the
people Of his state. He announced
himself a believer in the old Democ-
racy, and after denouncing the new
Democratic leaders who, he said, had
brought destruction upon the party,
declared that he could not be driven
from his old allegiance into a party
with which he did not care to at.
filiate.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic committee, denied that he
had any "ulteriOr motives" in not in
viting Mr.. McLaurin to enter the eau
Gus. 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 We're not
in reality vacant. He contended that
when the designations were offered
last spring to the governor they could
not be withdrawn thereafter, having
become Immediately operative.
Mr.. Tillman responded that for his
part he was willing to have the senate
declare both seats vacant.
Mr.. McLaurin agreed with Mr.. Till
man.
VERY we'll" said Mr.. Tillman, "let
us both nc%' write out our designations

president of the senate. Then the peo-
pie of South Carolina can decide

s1o.ooo.ooo For OBLIGATION

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE proposed
gift of S10,OO0,00O by Andrew Carne-
gle for educational purposes was dis
cussed at yesterdays meeting of the
cabinet. It was stated after the meet
ing that the president had received a
communication from Mr. Carnegie on
the subject of the creation of a fund
for the extension of higher education.
It is said that his proposition does not
involve the establishment of university
buildings in Washington, but rather
the placing Of fund in the hands of
government trustees from which the
expenses of deserving students may
be paid in the line of original investi-
cation at home or abroad. The presi-
dent will confer with members of con-
gress in regard to the proposed gift
before making its terms public
In an interview, ex-President Daniel
c. Gilman, of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore, Md, said: $50 far
as I know Mr. Carnegie's plans, they
are likely TO be Of a character which
will benefit all the higher institutions
of learning in this country, and will
encourage advanced students and in
vestigators, whether they have taken
degrees or not, to prosecute researches
in Washington and elsewhere.

plate the establishment of university

THROUGH Wall of Fire.

nFOugn wall OF FiFCs
Harrisburg, Dec. 11.-Fire broke out
in the Big Lick mine, near Lykens,
Monday night and is still raging. Fiji
teen men were working in the mine
when the fire was discovered. They
crowded into a car, which was hoisted
to the surface through a wall of fire.
None of them were injured. Twenty
mules were either roasted alive or
suffocated by smoke and gas. A steam
pump was gotten in operation yes
terday and the mine is being flooded
to prevent the flames from spreading.

worked for some time. A large num-
Der of men and boys have been thrown
out of work by the confagration.
