there is any way in which Tfllman can goad his colleague into resignation agreement he can be depended upon to do it.
 McLaurin faces certain defeat in a Senatorial primary in South Carolina, and without he is driven to resignation on the spur of the moment will, if he Is wise, retain his seat. Taken all in all the affair is generally regarded here as something akin to the ridiculous. poli- tically, however. it furnishes amusement for the Senate Republicans and airs Democratic dissentons which could profitably be fought out In the state instead of the United States Senate.

Senator McLaurin Does Not Take Up the Gauntlet But
 Explains His Position
SAYS HE REMAINS DEMOCRAT
In Bitter Terms He Denounces New Democratic Leaders-Senators Jones, Hoar and Tillman
 Join In Debate.

Washington, December 9-The Senate chamber was the scene of a highly dra- matic episode today when Senator Ttll- man 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 ito wash their dirty linen at home"
 MT McLaurin did not take up the gauntlet The incident today was the di- rect sequel of the very bitter contro- versy which arose between the Senators last spring Senator McLaurin arose to a question of personal privilege today and proceeded to explain what he charged was conspiracy to discredit him in his own state for acts and views which did not meet the approval of cer- tain Democratic leaders.
 He declared that he was being humili- ated and according to public print was to be excluded from the Democratic caucus because he had acted upon certain pub lie issues in way which he considered for the best interests of the country and of 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 de- structlon upon the party, declared that he could not be driven from his old all legiance into a party with which he did not care to affiliate.

BITTER TO
 NEW LEADERS.

With bitter words MT. McLaurin then proceeded to excoriate the new leaders of the Democracy, who, he said, had guid- ed the party to its destruction during the last six years and were trying to cruelty those who would seek to draw the Democratic party back to it's old allegi- ance. He still proposed, he said, to vote in his judgment for what he believed to be along the lines of Democratic princi- pies, but he did not propose to place him self against a proposition which he be- lieved to be for the best interests of the people simply because it was advocated by Republicans.
 In conclusion Mir. McLaurin said he did not propose to be driven from his own party nor to be forced into utilization with the party with which he did not care to ally himself and that on great public questions he would act according to the dictates of his own conscience and best judgement.

HE UPHELD
 THE ARMY.

While without official knowledge from the newspapers he understood that the principal charges were that he had not opposed the ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain that he had upheld the American army in its efforts to restore order in the Philippines, and to that end had voted for an increase in the standing army and that he was in favor of the up- building of the American merchant ma- rine.
 "1f these are the only charges" said he dramatically. they are true, and glory in them.
 He said he had not wished to vote against his party upon the question of ratifying the peace treaty, and had it not been for the reopening of hostilities in the Philippines he would have deferred to the opinion of his colleagues. But, he declared, the dictates of reason and con- science should not be stif1ed by the party lash.

of the government, where Senators had resigned. MT. McLaurln enjoyed the en- viable distinction of being the only one who had withdrawn his resignation after offering 1t. As to Mir. McLaurins charge of conspiracy to humiliate him by bar ring him from the Democratic caucus, MT
 Tillman called attention to the fact that he had not been in Washington during the extra session of the Senate last spring. This conspiracy" he said, ''is 8 dream conjured up by him. It is the creation of his own brain.'
 MT. McLaurin made no reply to MT. Tillman, but in replying to Senator Jones. said he did not desire that there should be anything personal in his charge that there had been an "ulterior purpose in anything he had done.
 MT. Hoar of Massachusetts addressed himself to the legality of the resignations which tho South Carolina Senators had been employed. Now, the principal charge against him was that during the Mckinley administration he had bought by patronage and that he had been bought by patronage" and that he had renewed his former contract with Presi- dent Roosevelt. Entertaining the high personal regard that he did for both the late President and his successor, MT McLaurin said it will be unnecessary for him to say that neither would stoop to so ignoble an act. It was true that an unfortunate condition of affairs had ex- isted in his State and that he had recom- mended good men for office, because he did not desire to see a repetition of the horrible affair at Lakeville, when negro postmaster had been burned to death He had voted for the war with Spain and declared that in the same spirit in which he had cast that vote he felt that he was compelled to support the administration that conducted 1t. Mir. McLaurin paid a high tribute to the late President, whom he characterized as broad statesman and Christian gentleman"

JONES OF ARKANSAS
 RISES TO EXPLAIN.

MT. Jones of Arkansas said he coiisid- cred some of the statements made by MT. McLaurin a reflection upon himself and that he desired to offer statement concerning the incident to which Mir Mc- Laurin had referred. At the extra session of the Senate last spring he had been asked by the caucus officer for the list of Senators who were to be summoned to a caucus, and Mir. McLaurin's name being mentioned, he (Jones) had said he himself would see the Senator from South Carolina. q met him in the cloak room." said MT. Jones. "and recalling the fact that he had not attended a Democratic caucus for more than two years l asked him what his status was. He replied that his relations with the party were such that he thought it would be embar- rassing for him to enter the Democratic caucus. I then said to him: 'ou do not wish to be invited thenT and the replied certainly" !"
 'As to the charge of ulterior motives on my part" continued Senator Jones, q am content to treat 1t with the contempt it deserves. It is a notorious fact which every one seems to understand except the Senator from South Carolina himself that there has been no Democratic caucus at this session of Congress. I have no hes- itancy, however, in saying that in re- cent conversation with a leading member on the other side said to him that did not think the Democratic caucus could ments for the senator from South Caro- lina."
 MT. Tillman of South Carolina was on

uLTERloR MOTIVE.

Senator Jones, chairman of the Dem ocratic national committee, denied that he had any 'ulterior motives" in not inviting McLaurin to enter the caucus. Mir. Tillman reviewed the whole contro- versy. MT. Hoar took occasion to express the opinion that 1t was very doubtful whether both the South Carolina seats ir the Senate were not in reality vacant. He contended that when the resignations were offered last spring to the Governor they could not be withdrawn thereafter, having become immediately operative. The climax came when Senator Tillman challenged MT. McLaurin to join with him in preparing their joint resignations and handing them to the presiding of ficer of the Senate. This challenge Mi. McLaurin did not accept, and the episode was brought to an abrupt close by Sen ator Lodge moving an executive ses- sion

McLAURlN GIVES
 AN EXPLANATION.

When MT. McLaurin of South Carolina arose to a question of personal privil- ege, it caused a stir in the chamber. He had before him a huge pile of manu- script.
 'I arise to a question of personal privi- lege in connection with the publication of the statement that I have been ex- cluded from participation in the Demo- cratic party" he anonunced. With evil dence of considerable emotion he pro- ceeded to explain that if such was the case, and if he were to be without as- signment upon committees the rights of his state, which he in part represented in the Senate, would suffer.
 The only notice he had ever had, he said, that he was to be excluded from the Democratic caucus came last spring before the adjournment of the Senate when the chairman of the Democratic national committee In the cloak room. asked him why he no longer attended these Democratic caucusses. 4 He had replied that in view of his opinion of the questions growing out of the Spanish war he thought his presence might be embarrassing. The Democratic chair man had replied: Then perhaps 1t would invited to the caucusses?
 MT. McLaurin said he had replied 'cer- tainly."
 This incident, MT. McLaurin declared was the continuation of long series of events in a contest waged by an element of the Democratic party against him.

THE SENATE
 IS INTERESTED.

The entire Senate by this time had become interested. Several Republicans crossed the political aisle to the Demo- cratic side thus better to listen to what MT McLaurin had to say.
 Continuing MT. McLaurin said he could be silent did he not fear that the move ment against him was one to keep alive sectionalism. For many years the people of the South had realized that they had not obtained their fair share of the na- uonal benefits. MT. McLaurin recalled the fact that although Samuel J. Ram dall had advocated a protective tariff he had been voted for in a Democratic na- tional convention for President. Han cock, although he declared that the tariff was a local issue, had been nominated for President, and David B. Hill, al- though he opposed the income tax had not been read out of the Democratic party.
 The holding of such views by Northern men, no matter how diverse, did not en- danger the position of certain political leaders, and consequently, they were inn mune from attack. But when Southern man, said MT. McLaurin, tried to get the benefit of the tariff for his people, those whose political career might be ended by the success of his efforts were ready to crush and humiliate him. He had contended that if the tariff were 0 rob- bery his section should share in the booty. Upon the issue of that speech he had later gone into a campaign in South Carolina and although his Democracy had been attacked upon the stump. the people of his state had endorsed him.

NEW CANAL TREATY
RATIFIED BY SENATE

Washington. Dec. IG-Thc Senate
yesterday ratified the Hny.Paunccfote
isthmian canal treaty by the decisive
vote OF 12 to O. The vote wns reached
few minutes before 3 o'clock after a.
most five hours discussion behind clos
cd doors. There were no sensational
Incidents during the entire time. The
debate was confined exclusively to a
ment and the policy Of Its provisions.
The principal speech Of the day was
made by Senator Teller. In opposition to
the treaty. and he was followed In rap
Id succession by twelve or fifteen other
senators. who spoke briefly for or
against the motion to ratify.
Mr.. Teller expressed confidence that
the resolution would be adopted. and
while he mad no purpose to attempt to
prevent that result, he was convinced
that there are very few senators who
are really satisfied with the treaty.
With Great Britain In her present
mood he believed. he said. II would have
been possible to secure treaty which
would give entire satisfaction and he
sharply criticised the State Department
for falling to do SO.
He took the position that Il would
have been sufficient to abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty and said that
England knew well enough that with
that result accomplished. she could
very well trust the United States to
maintain the neutrality Of the canal.
MS this country could be prepared TO do
