In the Senate.

min II. Ttllman, the CarOilna
%f1re-eater, justified his reputation Sat-
urday afternoon by an assault with his
fists or his colleague, Senator John l..
MoLaurin. on the floor of the senate.
The two senators thereupon engaged
in a fist fight until separated by the Of
1cers and members Of the senate. I'M
mediately thereafter they were ad-
judged in contempt of the senate, were
formally suspended, and are now men,
bers Of the upper house Of congress In
name only, being admitted to the floor,
but without the privilege of speaking
or voting. Whether either senator Is
to be permitted to sum his legislative
functions is a question Of doubt, as the
senate has the right to expel both Of.
tenders.
,Tillman Is Told He Lied.
Mr.. Tillfnan's ~provocation was the
public denunciation Of of his state
ments as "a willful, malicious. and de-
liberate lie" by the Junior senator from
South Carolina. MI. McLaurin, during
his absence from the chamber, had been
accused by his colleague of securing
the patronage Of his state in payment
for his vote in favor Of the Spanish
treaty. Immediately he was notified Of
the charge Mr.. McLaurin went to his
seat and requested a hearing, and the
denunciation, the personal clash, and
the other incidents of the remarkable
affair followed.
First Blow Reaches McLanrin.
Mr.. Tillman struck the first blow,
brushing aside Mr.. Teller and upsetting
q chair in his rush to confront his coll
league. Mr.. McLaurin, who had stepped
forward to meet his opponent. was hit
on the forehead and struck back, land
ing On Mr.. Tillman's nose. drawing
blood. A general mix-up followed and
the blows were falling thick and fast
when the combatants were dragged
apart and pinioned by those first to
reach them. One of the peacemakers.

senate Hears Explanations.
After the action by the senate sus.
pending. both. men and they had been
given the privilege Of the floor to apol-
ogize. Mr.. Tillman asked the pardon OF
the senate, but made no apology to his
colleague.
Mi. McLaurin's statement was more
OF an explanation than>an apology. and
when he began q .threat-"If there IL
any more Of that talk"-friends per-
suaded him to desist, and 1t is believed
another violent scene was averted.
The status Of Senators Tillman- and
McI.aurin IL that they are in contempt
.of the senate and only by a vote Of the
aenate can either be recOgnized to speak
or to vote on any question.

In the Senate.

Washington, Feb. %. - For more
than six hours yesterday the senate
had the Philippine tariff bill under con-
s~ideration. Mr.. Bate (Dem., Tenn.)
delivered a carefully prepared speech
in opposition to the pending measure.
He was followed by Mr.. Spooner OF
Wisconsin in a defense of the Repub-
lican attitude toward the Philippine
islands. He became involved frequent
ly in heated colloquy with members OF
tn. minority. He concluded with an
arpea! to congress to stand by the poll
tics of Mckinley n Roosevelt. Mr..
Tillman began a characteristic arraign-
ment of the administration in the Phil
l:pines but had not concluded when the
serate adjourned.
Thu house passed the Indian appro-
priation bill. No amendments Of inn
portance were attached to 1t yester-
day. The latter part Of the session
was devoted to the consideration OF
private claim bills, a number of which
were passed.

of the minority members Of the Philip.
pines committee, delivered his first ex-
tended speech in the senate. and was
given a most attentive and careful
hearing. He discussed principally the
seditioE laws enacted by the Philippine
commission, vigorously attacking the
authority of the commission to enact
and enforce such laws. He compared
information furnished by h execu-
tive departments of the government
with some Of the statements Of Gov.
Taft in his testimony before the
fppines committee with respect to the
capabilities Of the Philippine people
and declared, with some heat, his be-
lief that Gov. Taft misrepresented the
true situation in the islands for mo-
tives unknown. He asserted that If the
six millions of Christians in he Phil
ippines were Protestant Christians the
cruel lies practiced on them by the
American authorities would have to
stop, as no member would be able to
Withstand the wrath of the Methodists,
Baptists and Presbyterians Of this
country.
Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota presented &
legal and constitutional argument IN
support Of the governments action in
the Philippine archipelago, and sharply
criticised Mr.. Patterson for injecting
into the controversy the question OF
sectarianism.
Mr.. McCumber Of North Dakota
urged that congress should not bind the
future now by a declaration of a deh-
mite policy regarding the Philippines,
as 1t was desirable that all possible In
formation should be in hand before a
permanent policy was determined upon.
In the House.
The house spent the day working or
the Indian appropriation bill. Forty
two Of the sixty-two pages were dis
posed Of. Several amendments were
adopted but none Of much Importance.

Who Was Rich?

IF were only as rich as he isl"
muttered boy, who had just found
a crust of stale bread in a garbage
barrel, as he eyed poorly-dressed
boy leaving baker shop with a
basket of whole, fresh loaves.
"If I were only as rich as he is3'',
said the boy with the fresh loaves,
as he saw another boy on a bicy-
Gle, munchiug candy.
IF were only as rich as he is!'
sighed the boy on the bicycle, as
another boy rolled past in pony
cart.
eff was only as rich as he isl"
grumbled the boy in the pony-cart,
as he caught sight Of lad on the
deck of a beautiful private yacht.
"If only was as rich as he is!'
this lucky fellow wished as his
fathers yacht cruised in foreign
waters, as he spied one day young
prince, attended by retinue of
liveried servants.
"If were only as free as he is!''
impatiently growled the young
prince, thinking of the boy on the
yacht.
eff could drive out alone with
pony and nobody to take care of
me but myself! i" thought the pam
pered boy on the yacht.
eff only I could have a good time
like that boy on the bicycle!''
longed the driver of the pony.
"How happy that boy with the
basket looks" said the boy on the
bike.
"If could relish my dinner as
that boy does his crust!' said the
bakers boy. "I'm sick and tired
of bread!"

The Heart Of the Woods.

I hear it beat in morning still
When April skies have lost their gloom,
And through the woods there runs
thrill
That wakes arbutus into bloom.
l hear it throb in sprouting May,
A muff1ed murmur on the breeze,
Like mellow thunder leagues away,
A booming voice of distant seas.
In dsisied June catch its roll
Pulsing throng the leafy shade,
And fain 1 am to reach its goal
And see the drummer unafraid.
Or when the autumn leaves are shed
And frosts attend the>fading year,
Like secret mine sprung by my tread
A covey bursts from hiding near.
I feel its pulse mid winter SHOWS
And feel my own with added force
When red ruff drops his cautious pose
And forward takes his humming course.
The startled birches shake their curls;
A withered leaf leaps in the breeze;
Some hidden mortar speaks and hurls
Its feathered missile through the trees.
Compact of life, of fervent wing,
A dynamo of feathered power,
Thy drum is music in the spring,
Thy flight is music every hour.
John Burroughs in Atlantic.

Comfort.

The day is long, and the day is hard,
We are tired Of the march and of keeping
guard;
Tired of the sense of fight to be Won,
Of days to live through and of work to be
done;
Tired of ourselves and of being alone,
Yet all the while, did we only see,
We walk in the Lords own company,
We fight, but tits He who nerves our arm;
He turns the arrows that else might
harm,
And out of the storm He brings calm !;
And the work that we count sohard to do,
He makes it easy, for He works, too;
And the days that seem long to live are
His,
A bit of His bright eternities; and close
to
our need His helping is.

tCharieston 'I'cst.7

Columbia, January 17.-Attorney
General Bellirger has asked the
General Assembly to revoke at once
the license of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company to do business in
the State of South Carolina. This
drastic procedure is recommended in
communication to the General AS
sembly today, and is predicated
chiefly upon the action of the corpo-
ration in seeking to remove the &C.
ton against it recently brought by
the State, from the State to the
United States courts, and also be-
cause of the company's alleged fla
grant violation of the anti trust laws
of the State. The attorneys recon-
mendation is contained in the fol-
lowing, which is the concluding par
agraph of his communication to the
General Assembly:
SIN view of the deliberate attempt
on the part of the leading defendant
in the suit to remove the cause be-
yond the Jurisdiction of the State
courts and the open and fragrant con
tempt Of the laws of this State in
purchasing the real estate, business
and good will of domestic corpora
tions situated in this State, and the
almost certain prospect of long
drawn out litigation, during which
the litlgant corporations are protected
by the laws of the State, and unre-
strained in the enjoyment of the
fruits of what the General Assembly
In its joint resolution indicated to be
violation of its laws prohibiting
trusts and combinations in this State,
l would respectfully submit to your
honorable body the propriety, and
would urge the consideration of the
question of passing, as early as
practicable, such act or JOINT resolu-
ton as shall prohibit the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company from
henceforth doing business within
this State, making therein such pro-
visions as will efectually prevent
them from enjoying the benefits Of
any license or permit in the future.
I desire that it shall be understood
that this suggestion, if acted upon,
shall not affect the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the suit to final determination
in the courts of the land, nor is it
expected that any act passed pur
suant thereto can reach or sffsct the
domestic corporations charged with
conspiring with the foreign corpora
tions in violating the anti trust laws
of the State"
The Virginia, Carolina Chemical
Company has asked for removal Of
the cause from the State to the United
States court, in a petition fled in
answer to the action brought by the
attorney general.\ The basis of the
petition is that the action sought by
the State would impair and destroy
the rights of the company guaran
teed by the federal constitution in
its provisions for foreign corpora
tions and that therefore the issue
should be tried in the United States
court.
The case was transferred to the
United States Circuit court today by
the fling of the records already made
in the State court at Richland, and
On order of the judge Of that court,
so that the case is now suit of the
State against the corporation. The
answer of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company to the States
complaint has not Jet been made.
