SENATE MAJORITY scoRCHED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was entirely void of
the tumultuouS scenes which character
lied the sessions of the past three days.
After the Philippine tariff measure was
taken up, at 2 o'clock, Mr.. Tillman de-
hvered a speech devoted almost entirely
to discussion of the part his state took
in the war for independence of the colo
MES. incidentally he referred occasion
ally to the pending bill, drawing morals,
he said, for the benefit of the majority,
that they might be applied to the Ph:i-
ippines.
On taking the floor Mr. Tillman an
nounced that he would not talk much
about the Philippines tariff, but desired
to discuss the part South Carolina took
in the War of the Revolution. He ar
raigned Mr.. Lodge for attempting to pre-
vent discussion on the Revolutionary
theme. Adverting to yesterdays proceed
ings, Mr.. Tillman referred to Mr.. Bev
eridge, of Indiana, as my gallant young
friend from Indiana, who sprang into the
fray
Reaching the real subject of his speech,
he said: South Carolina has created

While Mr.. Tillman was speaking, sew

among themselves. To this Mr. Tillman
objected, because of the interruption, and
he requested those so engaged to retire

he said, making speech for home con-
sumption.

the Republican side are not interested

McGeary FASTENED to the cell with the
medicine, when John Biddle sprang
through the opening he had made in his
cell and selling the guard around the
waist, hurled him over the railing to

sixteen feet.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9O-The
Democrats in the house do not anticipate
any serious difficulty in heading off the
Crumpacker scheme to reduce Demo-
cratic representation. The Republicans
are not agreed on the wisdom Of the plan,
and there is further division in their
ranks by reason of the Southern Repub-
licans wishing to substitute their scheme
to have a stricter enforcement of the

The more prominent members of the
house believe that great animosity would
be engendered if the Crumpacker bill was
