DROPPED.
Tillman and McLaurin Are SuS-
pended From Senate.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Frye,
directions to clerks OF the senate today
that the names of Senators Tillman and
McLaurin of South Carolina, must not
be called on roll calls until further no
tice. This fixes the status of the sena-
tors who are practically suspended from
all senatorial functions.
The senate met today at IL o'clock to
dispose of the Philippine tariff bill.
More than ordinary interest attached to
the meeting today, not only on account
of the last day of debate and the final
vote on the bill which has caused so
much discussion, much of it in a bitter
and partisan spirit, but also because of
the fact that during the day Prince
Henry would visit the senate Both of
the South Carolina senators were on the
floor when the senate was called to or
DER Mr.. McLaurin cane in first and
Mr.. Tillman just as the chaplain of
fered prayer. A small bunch of red
roses and white carnations lay on Mr..
TillmanS desk.
Mr.. Pritchard (Rep., N. C.), at the re-
quest of Mr.. McLaurin, offered a reso-
luton directing the privileges and cleo
tions committee to investigate Mr.. Till
mans charges that Mr. McLaurin was
improperly influenced to vote for the
Spanish peace treaty. The resolution
was referred to that committee.
In the debate that followed on the
Philippine tariff bill Mr. McComas
(Md) denied Mr.. Wellington's (Md.)
charges that the former was influenced
to vote for the treaty by promises of
President Mckinley. Mr.. Wellington
showed intense feeling.
Senator Wellington, replying to Mr.
McComas, said that if Mr.. McComas
would repeat outside the senate cham
ber what he had told the senate in the
speech he just made, he (Wellington)
would tell McComas that it was a cow
ardly and malicious falsehood.
Mr.. Hoar promptly called Mr.. We'll
lington to order and the president pro
tenn as promptly directed Mr.. yelling
ton to take his seat.
Previous to this Mr.. Wellington made
a vigorous speech reiterating state
ments he had previously made as to
promises made by President Mckinley,
and denying statements made by Mr..
McConas in his speech earlier in the
day He said he believed President
Mckinley meant to keep his promises,
but had fallen under malign influences.

WRECKERS.
Unknown Persons Blow Up All
Assay Offices
In Cripple Creek, Victor and
GOldfield, Colo.
LIFE is JEOPARDIZED.
Persons Sleeping in the Build
ings Blown Out of Bed.
Movement Against Institutions
Buying High-Grade Ore.

Victor, Colo, Feb. 24.-Cripple Creek
is in a state of terror owing to a pre-
concerted attack upon all the leading
assay offices doing business in the dis
trict. Beginning at 3 o'clock this morn
ing and following in rapid succession
six explosions wrecked as many assay
offices in the centers ranging from Vic
tor to Cripple Creek and up to Gold
field. In every instance the object
sought by the incendiaries was accom-
plished by the destruction of the offices
with their fine equipment of delicate
balances. The raiders did not hesitate
to jeopardize life as all but one of the
buildings were also occupied by sleep
ing families. AS it was, men, women
and children were hurled out of their
beds by the shocks and serious injuries
inflicted. The full extent of the damage
can not be estimated.
In this city the Davenport office was
wrecked by two explosions, involving a
loss of fully $1,000. Almost at the same
time the assay offices of Vanderwalker,
Morgan & Williams were treated like
wise. The loss was approximately as
large as Davenports. One man. miner,
was severely injured at the explosion
at Williams office. He was passing at
the moment of the explosion. Flying
debris struck him in the face, gashing
his eyes and may result in total blind
ness.
In Cripple Creek Benjamin's assay
office, north of the Florence and Grip
pie Creek depot, was blown up.
In the town of Goldfield, about mile
and a half north of here, almost sim
ultaneously Boyces office and another
assay establishment were wrecked.
Boyce's family occupied an adjoining
room. Mrs. Boyce was blown out of
bed, but escaped without fatal injuries.
She was badly shocked. A family living
in the other assay Office was also blown
out of bed, but escaped serious injury.
The giant powder was blown through
the windows at Goldfield.
In this city the powder was placed
under the building, the house in which
family lived next to the Williams as
say office here was much damaged and
a woman was prostrated. Sheriff Rob-
ertson has called out his deputies and
is taking all means to discover if pos
sible the perpetra tors of the crimes. The
general impression here this morning
is that the acts are the result of a gen
eral movement to rid the district of all
high grade ore purchasing institutions.
Bloodhounds from Canon City have
been called for.
For years there has been systema tic
stealing of rich ore from the mines
amounting to thousands of dollars
monthly. It is alleged that more than
fifty assayers in the district have made
a business of buying such ore. Recent
ly the mine owners association discov-
cred that shipments of high grade ore
district to the Sibley smelter at San
Francisco and a Smelter at Salt Lake,
but all efforts to stop the traffic were
unavailing.

VICTORY FOR HILL
Supreme Court Refuses to Hear
Merger Case.
Leave to File Denied on Ground
of No Jurisdiction.

Washington, Feb. 4-The United
States supreme court today delivered
it's opinion in the case of Minnesota VS..
The Northern Securities company, in
application of the state to file a bill of
complaint in that court. The opinion
was read by Justice Shiras, and the
motion for leave to file the bill was
denied, on the ground that this court
was without jurisdiction.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb 24.-The an
nouncement of the United States su-
preme courts decision against the ap
leave to file suit against the Northern
city today without surprise. President
Hill of the Northern Securities COM
pany, when notified by the representa-
tive of the Associated Press, refused to
discuss the opinion of the court, con-
tenting himself with the remark that
it was no N ore than he anticipated sew
eral weeks ago.
Governor Vansant was not inclined to
express any views on the matter, and
Attorney General Douglass was also
avefse to saying anything. 1t is known.
however, since the announcement by
the United States attorney general that
he would bring suit against the North
ern Securities company under the Sher-
looked for just such a decision as that
now announced by the United States
supreme court. Such action by the fed
eral officials will not be allowed to stop
further action by the state of Mime
sofa, but no definite announcement has
yet been made as to the form such pro-
ceedingS will take.

visitor in private and without introduce
ton This was made necessary by the
fact that there is now in the United
States no representative of the German
nation of sufficiently high rank to pre-
sent to the president prince of the
blood royal, a brother and personal rep
resentatiye of the German emperor.
After the greetings had been extend

After few words with them, the royal
visitor was conducted into the Green

After the ceremony the following
statement was made by Assistant Sec
retary Pearce:
THE conversation between the presi-
dent and the prince was Of a formal ma
ture and had no political significance
than that contained in the usual general
expressions of international amity and
good WILL
The party then proceeded to the East
room where the members of the princes

The entire ceremony occupied just 80

piled:
Il thank you heartily, sir, for your
cordial welcome and kind words and beg
that you will say TO the people of Balti

The chorus of singers then rendered
several German patriotic and national
airs and after stay of 20 minutes, the
train pulled out amid the cheers of the
crowds which lined the bridges over the.
tracks.
TILLMAN SHUT OUT
Washington. Feb. 24-The president
has withdrawn his invitation extended
to Senator TiIlman of South Carolina
to attend the dinner to be given tonight
in honor of Prince Henry of Prussia at
the White House. 1t is stated that this
action on the part of the president was
made necessary from the fact that
owing to occurrences on the floor of the
senate last Saturday the senator from
South Carolina was declared in con-
tempt of the senate. Senator Martin of
on. naval affairs, has accepted an in
vitation in Mr.. Tillman's place. The
invitation was extended originally to
Mr.. Tillman owing to the fact that he
is the ranking minority member of the
naval affairs committee.
There was a sensational sequel to the
decision of the president to eliminate
Senator Tillrnan from the list of dinner
=
Cockrell of Missouri and asked him as
a friend and Democratic colleague of
Mr.. Tillman to suggest to the latter the
propriety of withdra wing his accept
ance of the dinner invitation. The pres
ident explained his attitude in the mat
ter,and said that in view of the con-
tempt proceedings Mr.. TilIman's pres
ence would not only be an affront to
the senate but discourtesy to Prince
Henry.
Mr. Cockren accepted the commission,
and later telephoned to the president
that Mr.. Til1nan absolutely refused to
withdraw his acceptance, in response to
the presidents suggestion. The presi-
dent Immediately Cancelled the invita-
ton in note he dispatched directly to
Mr. Tillman shortly before noon today.
In this note, which was very brief and
formal, the president stated he regret
ted that he was obliged to withdraw
the invitation. simultaneously Senator
Martin of Virginia was invited to take
Mr.. Tillman's place at the dinner as the
next ranking Democratic member of
the senate naval affairs committee.

F1fty-Seven votes are required to nOn1-
nate. 1t is quite probable, however, the
Mr.. Bowersock will get a number of those
classified as doubtful.
The Kennedy forces lost in the congress
sional fight in Woodson county Saturday
and it is claimed that Woodson will send
a solid Miller delegation to the congress
sional convention
But Chase county is now in a state of
revolt against Mr.. Miller 1t is claimed
that Miller has had the applications of a
number of old soldiers for pensions for
the past two years. but he has paid at
tention to them. Several times he has
made appointments to meet them and their
friends, but in each instance it is claimed
he has not kept the engagements and has
made no explanation, nor has he answered
letters written to him. These are some of
the grievances of the Chase county people
against him.
On top of this Mr.. Miller has held up an
appointment to the Cottonwood Falls post
office for several months, and that is now
making him trouble. 1t is claimed that he
less been playing double and currying the
favor of both sides, intending to do this
until after the congressional convention.
But the report has reached Cottonwood
Falls that Miller has assured William
Norton of the place and the friends of w.
H. Holsinger who was a candidate for re-
appointment, have gone off the Miller res
erVatiOn.
