D. S. Senator's Fight
After Giving the Lie.
Wild and Woody Time in the
United States Senate Chamber.

During the progress Of the debate ON
tho Philippine billin the senate Sat
surday afternoon, Senator McLaurin OF
south Carolina, replying to an assertion
made by Tillman, said:
sThat IS a Deliberate, wilful, ma
licious iie."
Instantly Tillman sprang from his
seat and rushing over to where Nc
Laurin was standing, struck him sew
eral blows with bis clenched fist. The
two men grappled out almost imme
tliately several senators and employees
rushed towards them and separated
them.
Sir. Teller arose and said:
II call the two senator's from South
Carolina TO order"
There was much confusion In the
senate chamber.
Mr.. Foraker and other senators de-
clareSi that the dignity OF the senate
might be preserved. While several
nroposirions were being made iH ex
cited tones, Foraker moved that the
J senate go into executive session, which
was at once agreed and the galleries
were cleared.
The remark to which Senator NC
Laurin took exception was made by
Tillman while the former was out OF
the chamber. 1t was to the enect
mat q aurin's vote on the ratinca-
I. fsdns Of the Paris treaty had been pur-
chased by giving him federal patron
age In his state. Assoon as McLaurin
came ii, he was told of the charge by a
fellow senator aud Immediately sent
for the stenographer's notes of Sena-
4 tor Tillman's speech. Repeating the
assertion made by Tillman, McLaurln
then said slowly and with great EN-
phasis:
Al would not use such strong Ian
puap.e If it were not for the fact that
4 lad previously taken occasion to de
nv this same Calumny at the beginning
e0f the session.
II now say that that statement Is d
y.tlf,d. deiiheratc. malicious lie.
AS Mr.. McLaurIn was proceeding
with hisremarks and before he reached
the climax, Tilman sat with head
bowed. as an angry bull before a
charge. The assault came when the
anal word of ''lien was uttered by
NcLaurin.
Nr. Tillman sprang up like HASH,
Jumped over chairs between him ana
4 l,ls colleague, and before he could be
stopped, he struck him severe blow
on the forehead, which raised a large
welt. The two men then clinched'
each trying to strike the Other: IN
sstantly there was rush toward tie
struggling men.

Yesterday and Today.

The methods OF yesterday are not
those Of to-day; the style OF u genera
tion ago are undesirable in the pres
ent. Houses which, decade ago
seemed possessed of every point Of de-

very often, found inferior to those
erected nowadays.
We would like to show you draw
ings Of some Of the beautiful and thor
oughly up-to-date buildings we have
designed. They demonstrate the
painstaking care we give to every de.
tail inside and out, great and small.
We have no use for hackeyed ideas
and unprogreSive methods, but seek
instead TO be wholly modern.
A thorough familiarity with what
is being done in architecture the
world over, enables US to avoid the er

proven successful.

that word mentioned. have always been afraid
OF lightning. The reason is plain. Once when we
were returning from the country the clouds be-
gan to gather in the sky, and darker and darker
the night came on us. It began to rain and
thunder, and the lightning became sharper and
sharper. We had long way to co. It was dark;
we could not find our way Every moment ex-

elected, but that uncompromising
faction of Regulars who were 1000
votes shy of being the majority of the
Republicans of the State, persisted in
nominating DIR. Ball, who was not
acceptable to the party. The result
was what was expected, the election
of Henry A. Houston, Democrat, for
Congress. The vote on Tuesday last
showed that 1905 Republicans pre-
ferred William Michael Byrne, while
DIR. Ball proved satisfactory only to
1915 Republicans, making Byrne's
plurality over Balls 1900 votes. One
thing has been demonstrated and that
is the Union Republicans are the
majority faction and a force in the
politics of Delaware that must be
recognized. Figures don't lie and
President Roosevelt and his admins
tration must admit from Tuesdays
election that the Union Republicans
are entitled to consideration.
