Washington, Feb. 26.-The most i'm
portant development yesterday in
connection with the Tillman-Mc'
Laurin episode of last Saturday wal
the act of Senator Frye, president
pro TEN. Of the senate, in ordering
the clerk of the senate to restore the
names of the two South Carolina sen.
ators to the senate roll. When asked
il the result Of this action would be
the recognition Of either OF the SEN
ators to either vote or speak, Senator
Frye replied that 1t would not and
that was . question which must be
decided by the senate.
Quite unexpectedly the senate ad-
journed within Is minutes after it
convened. An hour before the body
convened the galleries began to fill
with spectators, all expecting a Sc
quel to the debate of Monday on the
rights of the senators from South
Carolina to cast their votes while un-
der the ban OF contempt by the SEN
ate.
When the clerk began the reading
of the journal Of Mondays proceed
ings the usual request that the read
ing be suspended was made by Sena-
tor Stewart, of Nevada. III object"
interjected Senator Turner, of Wash
ington, and Senator Dubois, of Idaho,
in unison and the reading was con-
tinued. At its conclusion the journal
was approved without comment.

ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions were in consultation during the
afternoon over the resolution which
it was proposed to bring to the at
tention of the senate to-day through
the committee providing for the sus-
pension of the two South Carolina
senators. None OF the senators pres
ent at the conference would consent
to disclose the details of their pro-
ceedings, but it is learned in a gen
eral way that considerable doubt was
expressed by some of the members as
to the regularity of the suggested |
proceeding, some of the senators
holding that the suspension Of the
even by the state itself,
would be subject to criticism.
The house yesterday passed the
and consular appropria-
ton bill. 1t was the fifth of the reg
ular annual supply measures to be
sent to the senate at this session.
No amendments of Importance were
adopted. The feature of the day was
The speech of Mr.. Richardson, of Ala

GOT KHEDIvE's DIAMONDS.

sherman's Daughter Secured Them
Despite the Heavy Duties.
There is quite a romance connected with
the diamonds that are now in possession of
the daughters Of General w. T. Sherman.
Mrs. Thorndike, one Of the daughters, has
long been a ~favorite in Washington society.
She was also greatly admired by the
khedive Of Egypt When Mrs. Thorndike's
sister, Minnie Sherman, was married to
Lieutenant T. W. Fitch his majesty, de-
sirous Of expressing his friendship for the
old warrior, selected from his treasury dia-
monds valued at 5000, 900, had them set as
a necklace and sent the gorgeous ornament
to the bride. But an unfeeling United
States customs department fell upon the
wedding gift and held it for a ransom Of
$4,000, the amount Of the legal 10 per cent
duty. Here was a pretty how-d'you-do, for
neither the bridegroom nor the general
could scrape together the sum demanded.
The bride wept, the newspapers gossiped
and the husband grew pale with mortihca-
ton. But there was naturally a sympa-
thetic feeling on the part Of every Ameri-
can woman at the thought of a poverty
stricken bride unable to gaze upon 5000, 900
in diamonds that actually belonged to her.
A public subscription was started; then the
national government became interested, and
finally congress stepped In and, goaded to
chivalrous rescue by It's wives and daugh-
tiers, RENTED the duty by special enact
mont.
Can you not imagine the rejoicings Of the
Pitches and Shermans when the splendid
gems were at last placed on the beautiful
neck for which they were intended and the
pride with which the owner allowed them
to be placed for safe keeping in the United
