Senators Open Series
With the BeaneaterS
This Afternoon.
LOCAL PLAYERS ARE RESTING
No Great Effort Being Made
to Better Standing of
the Team.
LOTUS is AFTER NEW MEN
Philadelphia Returns Home in the Lead
and With Good Chance for the Pen
nant-St. Louis and Boston Tied for
Second Place.

Washington did not play yesterday, as
it was moving day, most of the Eastern
teams journeying to their own territory,
there TO battle against each other. while
the Westerners will fight it out among
themselves.
The games the Athletics put up during
the Western campaign just concluded
make it pretty certain that the Phila-
delphians will net have much trouble in
walking away with the pennant, al
though St Louis may yet put a crimp
in their championship aspirations, while
Boston is rot cut Of the running, By
any means.
The Washirgtons have not done them
selves proud during the games in the
West. Three games were lost to Cleve-
land, two to Detroit similar num-
ber to St. Louis, and three to Chicago;
so, with a record of two games won out
of twelve played. Manager LOTUS ard
his men do not deserve to be met at
the station with brass band, unless
they take a great brace during the
games to be played in Boston, Phila-
deipfia. and Baltimore.
Meet Boston Today.
The Washingtons will meet Boston
this afternoon, while the Philadelphia
and Baltimore players are scheduled to
get together in the former city. The
Orioles are somewhat crippled owing
to the suspension of Williams, but the
Birds may give the Athletics trim
ming or two before the series is over
So far as the Senators are concerned,
there is very little interest manifested
among the most enthusiastic local fol-
lowers of the game whether the LOTUS
ties win their games or not The play
ers have evidently laid down f0r the
rest of the season, and are not trying
to better their position in the race for
the championship.
Manager Lotus is contenting himself
with trips to the minor leagues, look
ing over promising players for next
seasons Senators.
Within few weeks the names of tie
new men will be announced. and then
we viii go on winning the championship
on paper until the playing season com
mences.

Deadly Avalanche in Colorado.

Telluride, Colo, Feb. 2S.-The most
terrible snow slide ever known in
Colorado caused the deaths of from So
to Is men at the Liberty Bell mines
on Smuggler mountain today. AL
though the scene of the disaster is
scarcely two miles from this town in
formation is difficult to obtain on ac-
count of the precipitous character of
the roads and the vast amount of snow.
Nearly all the buildings of the Liberty
Bell mine were carried down by the
slide, all the books which show the
number and names of the men employ
ed being lost, SO tha the death list
can hardly be known for many hours,
possibly not until the rescuers shall
have removed an immense quantity
of snow, rocks and logs from the
canyon where the victims lie buried.
It seems that two slides occurred
practically in the same place, the
second burying those who were trying
to rescue the victims of the first.
Buildings were carried down the
mountain side distance Of 1900 feet
and crushed by tons Of snow.

the Tillman-Roosevelt incident and
this morning sent dignifed and plain
telegram to President Roosevelt.
which ought to clear the State and
the people at large of further response
bility in the matter.
The telegram to President Roosevelt
reads as follows:
Columbia. February %, 1902. 2
President Theodore Roosevelt,
Executive 3 Mansion, Washington, D.
C. It was my intention not to have
anything to say about the telegram
sent you by the Hon James Fl. Till
man, Withdrawing the request for you
to present the sword to Major Micah
jenkins, but as undue Importance and
publicity have been attached to it beg
to say that the telegram sent you was
not authorized by the Sttae, and that
the Lieutenant Governor did not speak
officially for the State or the people
in his action, and his telegram to you
was purely a personal matter, and
neither the State nor the people
should be held responsible in any way
for his attitude. - .-a-.

sent to disclose the details of their
proceedings, but it is learned in
general way that considerable doubt
was expressed by some of the members
as to the regularity of the suggested
proceedings, some of the senators
holding that the suspension Of sena-
tors by the senate itself would be sub
ject to criticism. The feeling was
quite, general that the problem is a
difficult and intricate one and the
opinion was expressed that it would
be impossible to formulate g line OF
action that would be put into execu-
ton at so early date as tomorrow.
Senators Burrows and Foraker were
appointed subcommittee to consult
authorities and suggest form of pro-
ceeding either in line proposed or on
other lines.

Young TiIIman by McLaurin's Side

Ben R. Tillman, Jr., q soft voiced,
-limbered athletic young man,
stood at McLaurin's side while he
was calling Senator Tillman liar and
was within arms reach of the junior
Senator when his father Jumped I'M
petuously over Senator Teller's legs
and landed his fist on McLaurin's eye.
The young man, whose title to the
privilege of the floor is drawn from
the fact that be is his fathers secre-
tary. kept his eye on McLaurln S
hands. If the junior Senator from
South Carolina had drawn weapon
he probably would have become a
participant in the fight. AS it was,
he merely looked on, thus establishing
his right to be considered a young
man who knows his place. 1t was a
most remarkable exhibition of self
restraint Chicago Chronicle.

WOULD CHECK KNOX.
]. Pierpont Morgan Makes a Plea
to the President.

A Washington telegram to the
Chicago Chronicle Says:
Tremendous pressure is being
brought to bear upon President Roose-
velt to abandon the proceedings
Pacific and Great Northern railways,
which Attorney General Knox an
nounced will be begun in few days.
j. Pierpont Morgan, who, with
James ]. Hill, is the principal pro-
moter of the merger, and Geoge B.
Steele, F. F. Sturgis, Z. G.. Ledyard
and D. S. Eggleston spent several
hours with the President Saturday
night. They arrived at the White
House at 10 O'Clock, and did not leave
for their hotel until after / o'clock
Sunday morning.
The purpose of the conference was to
persuade President Roosevelt to order
The Attorney General not to file the
bill in equity which is to be the basis
of the proposed action against the
merger under the Sherman anti trust
act. The argum ents which they pre-
sented to the President IN support of
their position were twofold.
One was that the merger does not
come within the scope of the Sherman
act, and the other that the action of
the Government had an unsettling
effect upon the money and stock mark
cts, which might become serious if the
bill in equity being prepared by the
Attorney General was filed.
The President is reported to have
said TO his visitors that the silt would
be begun, and the determination on
its merits left to the courts. He holds
! the position that if the merger is
;; not violation of the law no harm
can be done in determining the fact
by resort to the proper channels. If
it is violation Of the Sherman act,
it ought to be dissolved.
It is believed in Washington that
as result of the visit of Mr.. Morgan
and his friends, the Presidents pur-
pose to press the suit with vigor was
i somewhat shaken. The ostensible pur-
pose of the visit of the captains Of
finance to Washington was to attend
dinner which Senator Depew ar
ranged in their honor, but it was
noticeable that the dinner broke up at
a very early hour and that the ad-
journment to the White House had
J evidently been prearranged with the
host.
Attorney General Knox has not indi-
Gated when he will be prepared to file
his bill in equity, but at the Depart
ment of Justice the impression has
been given out that it viii be ready
not later than next Tuesday.

severe form of rebuke than to Senator
McLaurin, while the Democrats do
not generally concede there should be
discrimination.
Senator Bailey spoke at length
from the speech made by Senator
Tillman which provoked the reply of
Senator McLaurin, contending that it
did not make specific charge of brib-
cry. The Democrats also held out
stifly against all suggestions looking
to the suspension of the privileges Of
the senator's as an attack on the rights
of the State they represent, rather
than on the senators themselves.
HOPEFUL OF AGREEING.
When the committee adjourned its
members professed to be hopeful that
an unanimous agreement would be
reached, but they were not so hopeful
as they had been when the noon recess
was taken. The proceedings were not
of character to permit Of any definite
conclusion as to what the result would
be, though so far as they went they
indicated censure as the form of pan
ishment more likely to be recommend
ed. Some of the Republicans, how
ever, are holding out for more pro-
nounced re5alse 80 Senator Tiilman
than could be given in any verbal
repriraand. The subcommittee ap-
pointed is composed of Senators Bur-
rows, Hoar, Foraker, Republicans, and
Senators Pettus and Bailey, Demo
Gratis. This subcommittee will meet
tomorrow afternoon and make an effort
to frame a resolution for the action OF
the full committee which will meet
again at 10 O'Clock Friday.

McLaurin an Expert Boxer.

When rillman rushed on McLaurin
the latter had his hands up in the
most approved style of self-defense. He
was the champion amateur boxer of
the Uniyersity of Virginia and has
never lost his interest in the science
of self-defense. Tillman's hammer
and-tongs method of fighting, how
ever, caused him to grow wild IN his
blows. Persons who know McLaurln
and his prowess are convinced that if
he had been left alone with his col
league for FIVE minutes without inter,
ruption or interference he would
have beaten him unmerclfully. HIS
superior skill would have enabled nm
to do this. The disparity in their
ages would have counted in McLau-
rims favor. Tillman is fifty-five,
while McLaurin is only forty-tw

If organized labor We're to take the
ridiculous stands assumed at times by
organized capital it would be hooted at
every turn. The stickler in the nego-
tiations looking to settlement OF the
antrdacita strike has been over recog-
milton Of labor unionism. The operators
and presidents Of the coal carrying
roads have steadfastly refused 10 ac-
cede to any proposeal that includes
the desired recognition Of organized la
Dor, and have repeatedly stated that,
so far rs the increase In wages asked
by the men is concerned, they would
willingly grant it: hut they absolutely
and emphatically decline to recognize
the unions. Suppose organized labor
were to announce that il would not
recognize organized Cap,tal-what
would the financial giants of the coun-
try think? Yet there would be more
real merit in a refusal of this kind on
the part of labor than on the part of
capital. 1t can be put down for GER
tain that the captains of industry |
who decline to recognize the unions |
Ire the men Who wish to reduce Amer !
can labOrers more nearly to serfdom. |
Their principle is rotten to the core,
md must be combatted.
