BAILEY Of TEXAS
ATTACKS ASSOCIATE.
UnWarranted Attack by Lone Star
States Terror on BeVeridge of
Indiana--ClOSing Scenes.

Washington. July 1.-The closing hours
Sf the session of congress were enlivened
In the senate yesterday afternoon by a
personal attack OF Senator Bailey OF
Texas upon Senator Beveridge OF Indiana,
similar in many respects TO the famous
fist tight that occurred In the same cham
Der on washingtons birthday Of the pres
ent year, between Sen. Tillman and Nc
Laurin OF South Carolina. No blows were
struck yesterday afternoon. but, according
to Mr.. Bailey, he first threatened his col
league from Indiana. and then choked
him fiercely. until dragged away by Sena-
tor Spooner of Wisconsin and the SER
6eant- nt-at-arms OF the senate.
4 CONFLICT OF TESTIMONY.
! According to Senator spooner. Mr..
Beveridge was not choked at all. and the
senator from Texas did not lay his hands
upon him. There is a direct conflict OF
testimony. therefore. as to whether any
choking took place. but IL Is significant
that all Of the senators present agree
with the statement of Senator spooner
that no assault was made.
The senate had adjourned when the
affair took place. but the doors had not
been opened after the executive session.
Nearly all OF the senators had left the
chamber and the only ones who wit
messed the affray, I'm addition TO Messrs.
Bailey and Beveridge. were Messrs.,
Spooner. Hanna, Kittredge. McComas and
Sergeant at Arms Ramsdell
According TO Mr.. Baieys statement
made after he had left the building. he
walked over TO the Republican side of the
chamber. where Mr.. Beveridge was seat
ed. talking TO Senators Hanna and Spoo-
iner and demanded that he withdraw a
statement made In debate In open session
that his reflection upon Solicitor Penfield
J of the state department was unwarranted
I Upon his refusal. Mr.. Bailey lost his
temper. exclaiming, @ D. you,
I'll kin YOU" and then grabbing Bever-
idge by the throat. choked him until
dragged away by Senator Spooner and the
sergeant at arms. He then retired TO the
Democratic cloak room and little later
left the building.
According to the statement OF Senator
spooner, corroborated by the other sena-
tors present. Senator Bailey did not lay
hand upon Senator Beveridge, but what
took place, they say. is this Senator
Bailey came over to the chair where
Senator Beverldge was sitting and de-
manded that he withdraw his statement
that his criticisms OF Judge Penfield were
unwarranted. saying that he gave him an
opportunity TO do so during the debate
and that now he gave him another.

the best t-natured possible tone TO Bailey;

has notified the bankers commission that
China refuses 90 pay tho July installment
OF the indemnity except at the rate OF ex-

James A. Peterson, Republican Can
didate for Congress, AssaiIs Loren
Fletcher's Record in Congress.

Mr.. Peterson spoke to a crowded house
at the republican wigwam at Camden
Place Tuesday evening. He was received
with enthusiasm and his criticism Of
Loren tletcher's record in congress was
vigorously applauded. He commenced by
calling attention to the fact that com
b1nations of capital have made it neces-
sary for the republicans to revise the
tariff.
He held that, in order to maintain the
policy Of protection, it was essential that
we should have competition in our own
country. He then spoke as follows
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
the tariff question is that of reciprocity.
BY protection we hold our markets for
our own producers, and by reciprocity we
agree with another country that they shall
take the products of our labor free and We
get such Of the products of their labor as
We cannot produce in this country to ad-
vantage.
The cost of shipping an article into Cam
ada, except for the tariff, is no greater
than to ship to Iowa or Nebraska and
We should have that outlet for our indus
tries. There is no reason why there
should be any tariff between this country
and Canada. They cannot compete with
US in agricultural lines, and if there was
no tariff wall between this country and
Canada, the number Of threshing machines
made at Hopkins would be doubled and
twice as many men employed as now

VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE
THAT CAN WIN AFTER
81 BEING NOMINATED

" Now that the primaries are drawing
near, word to the republican voters may
not be amiss. It should be the concern of
every republican voter to support only
candidates for nomination who will be sure
winners in the fight thatsis to come later.
For let it be remembered that the demo-
Gratis are putting forth every energy to
capture at least four Of the most impor-
tant offices, viz: Congress-, mayor, coun-
ty attorney and sheriff. On the repub-
1ican side there are several candidates in
the field for the latter named office, and
there is a hot contest being waged, but it
Is conceded by many that Mr.. A. w. Har-
wood is far in the lead, and will continue
in this position until the goal is reached
on the 10th day Of this month. This is
as it should be. Mr.. HARDWOOD is excep-
tionally well qualified for this office, hav-
ing been always staunch republican and
gentleman Of integrity and good bust
ness judgment, courteous in his treatment
of every one and especially to his oppo-
nents in this race. Although it would APP
pear that the field has combined against
him, this matters not. He is an easy win
ner, having no sore spots to heal, no de-

Tense to make for political mistakes, nor
can he be accused Of malfeasanse of Of
flee. never having held office, never can
didate for office except that of sheriff.
Mr. HARDWOOD will not sacrifice his man
hood to get the office, for if he should,
he could not expect the people to have
confidence in his ability to discharge the
duties of so important an office as that
of sheriff. Is it not, therefore, the best
Of wisdom and political sagacity to select
for the office of sheriff q man who has no
milestone tied about his neck and of whom
even his political opponents can say aught
but good? 'f'.~

FAVORING W. L. LUCE
A Strong Republican Argument that
Will Give Him Many Votes.

AS. the time draws near for the .pri-
maries, it is very apparent that a large
republican vote will center upon one man
for mayor. There are hundreds Of repub-
leans who do not relish the idea Of the
possibility Of a democratic mayor and the
consequent turning out Of many employees
on the we'll known democratic spoils plan
The question with this large army of
voters is who is the strongest man to make
the fight against a strong democratic nom
tnee. Those who have studied the situation
closely are coming to the. conclusion that
W. L. Luce is the only republican candi-
date in position to make strong de-
termined fight. :"
Mr.. Luce, they say, has no aldermanic
or municipal official record to be picked
to pieces and questioned, has time to de-
vote to the campaign, and ability to make
a great contest. These facts are being
talked about in business quarters and on
the streets, and it is bringing a strong
following to the aid Of Mr. Luce
