TILLMAN's APOLOGY.

81 say this because of the fact that one
of the Senators had seen fit to allude to
some matters that occurred in the debate
this afternoon. l now want to say that
so far any action of mine has caused
any Senator here or the Senate as a
body or the people of the United States
to feel that l have been derelict. and
have not shown that courtesy and proper
observance of the rules of this body that
l regret it; I apologize for it. l was
ready to do that two minutes after l
had acted. but under the provocation
which was known to all of you I could
not have acted otherwise than | did and
while ] apologize to the Senate and am
sorry that it has occurred. l have moth
ing more to say"
Mr.. McLaurin rose at the conclusion of
Mr.. Tillmans brief address, he, too, was
calm but 1t was evident that he was sup
pressing his emotion by an effort. He
spoke with greater feeling than had been
manifested by his colleague. particularly
when he told the Senate how sorely he
had been tried by the accusations which
had been made against him from time
to time. He said:
"Mr President | did not realize that
I was in contempt of the Senate nor
do | think now If my words are read
IN the Record that I was in contempt of
the Senate. but the Senate has ruled
that | am in contempt of this honorable
body. | beg leave to apologize

| have been very sorely and severely
tried. 1 was in attendance on the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs when | received

TILLMAN SPEAKS.

Amid breathless silence Mr.. Tillman
rose to address the Senate. His calm
manner gave no indication of the scene
in which he had been one of the princi-
pal actors short time before. He spoke
deliberately and every one of the hun
dreds OF auditors leaned forward eagerly
to catch his words. Said he:
mir. President. l have always esteemed
1t high honor and privilege to be a
member of this body l had never had
any legislative experience when / came
here and my previous service as Cover
nor of South Carolina for years had un-
fitted me in a measure to enter this au-
gust assembly with that dignity and re-
gard-proper regard I will say-for its
traditions and habits and rules that are
desirable.
Il have been here seven years. I have
in that time learned TO judge men with
a little more catholicity of spirit than /
did when l came here. l have found 4
great many people here in whose per-
sonal integrity and honor and regard for
their obligations as gentlemen l have
implicit confidence: but 1 have seen so
much of partisanship. I have seen so
much of what l consider slavish submits

The friends of DR.. Frederick A. Wood

find additional reason to believe that he
was foully dealt with in letter received
here and purporting to be from him. The
letter was addressed to young lady
here who was a friend of the missing
man. 1t was .postmarked Guffy, Tex,
and was signed with DR.. Woods name.
The handwriting; however, is not his, and
the letter was not of the character that
he would have been likely to write in
the circumstances. It does not allude to
the movements OF the alleged writer and
closes with a description of fire. It
was written so badly that it could be
read with difficulty
DR.. Woods family and friends believe
that the letter was written here or @esle-s
where near here and sent to Guffy to be
mailed. It is almost inconceivable that
any one would commit such a forgery as
joke or without some serious purpose and
the theory advanced is that somebody
who has guilty knowledge of the young
mans disappearance wrote the letter and
had it mailed with the hope Of stopping
enquiry and averting* suspicion.
Dr.sWood was last seen, SO fara can
be learned by his friends here. on the
wharf at Old Point exactly six weeks ago
yesterday. This letter is the first thing in
the way Of a clue that has developed to
this time. ~

when the members of his congregation
