Punishment for TiIlman HoodIumism
Still Under Discussion.

Washington, E'"h. 27.-The commit
tee of privileges and rlcctions were in
consideration OF the Tillman-McLaurin
episode yesterday, but reached no on
clusion beyond deciding to refer the
entire matter to a subcommittee and
meet again tomorrow to consider any
recommendation made by the sub-com-
mittee.
No vote was taken on any PROPOSE
ton. indeed no proposition was made
either by the majority or minority.
There was entire agreement on the
point that both South Carolina sena.
tors should be punished, but there was
disagreement on the details of punish
ment, as well as on the degree of it.
A half dozen different suggestions
were made as to modes Of punishment.
including suspension and censure by
the senate and censure with the added
requirement Of further apologies from
the offenders. There was also a con-
tinued discussion OF the relative pun
ishment OF the two men.
Most Of the republican members OF
the committee hold that to Tillman
should be awarded a mon severe form
of rcbuke than to McLaurin. while the
democrats do not generally concede
there there should be discrimination.

Prof. Knight of the university has
been interesting himself in securing
absolute and complete analyses Of the
Rambler platinum ore.
Ore has been sent to three OF the
best chemists in the country, who are
making a specially OF working with
the very rare metals.
Today Prof. Knight received from
one Of the chemists a request for a
larger sample Of GRAND with this there
was a statement that the ore already
sent assayed between ten and twelve
ounces per ton of platinum and palla-
dunn; the palladium being decidedly
in excess.
The sample sent was the average
purple copper ore, and no attempt was
made to select choice pieces, conse-
Quently it appears that this is about
an average of this class of ore.
This makes the Rambler ore Of un-
usual value, and it cen highly prob
able that the mine will be worked for
the precious metals with copper as a
b%y-product.
Palladium is worth from $25 to $50
per ounce. and there is quite a demand
for the metal. II the ore averages any
thing like this assay it will be worth
upwards of 5000 per ton, without con-
sidering the copper.
The fact that these rare metals have
been discovered in the Medicine Bow
will bring in many people who make
a business OF mining this class Of ores

WHAT DRUGGIST DID
THIS HAPPEN TOP

Recently W soldiers discharged
from Fort Russell went to Laramie,
says the Cheyenne Tribune, and in a
drug store obtained 25 cents worth of
goods, which they charged to a Chey-
enne %saloonman. In due time the sa.
loonman received a bill from the drug
gist for the amount, with a notation
that an immediate settlement would
be greatly appreciated. The Cheyenne
lite did not like the druggists summary
demand. To get even. he had two
dimes and a nickel cast in two limo
type slugs and expressed them in a
package to the druggist. The debt
was paid, but the druggist was com-
PEELED to pay 30 cents express charges
before he knew the game he was up
against.
