CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Letter Written by an Officer Belong
ing TO the Expedition.

ing 10 the EApeUlJlon.
London, Oct. PA letter from an
officer belonging To the Somaliland ex-
petition received here shows that the
British force is in even a more pre-
carious condition than has been indi-
Gated in the official dispatches. The
writer says:
mo one will appreciate this because
IL is too late. We are in a regular
trap, and how are we going to get out?
We do not know. We have had stiff
fish fights and have lost many men.
The worst is that our blacks are funk
ing and our camels have nearly all been
killed or captured. We have next to
no water and we are miles from any
wells. We have no supplies and nearly
no ammunition. They have captured
two of our Maxims. I do not suppose
they care at home what happens 10
us. II is a brutal shame to send US
blind into an ambush like this. I hear
fresh troops are coming up and only
hope they viii come from India"
The writer refers incidentally 10 some
brisk fighting which he apparently pre-
sumes was already known Of here, and
adds:
Thirty three Of US escaped. BY
Jove, that was a pretty affair We
whites stood out, but-ohi well, we
have too many blacks"

men, women and children, was swept
across her chain cables and instantly
eapsized. Some of the unfortunate men
grabbed hold of the chain and were
hauled upon deck, but the women and
children were carried under the ship
and the coal scow, which was lying
alongside, and not see again. Owing
10 the lamentable Indifference shown to
coolie life, ii was difficult to find out
how many lives were lost, but the
nearest calculations arrived at make it
fifteen women. two men and several

of his position:
Il am in favor of strong action by the
Senate. both in reprobation Of the Senators
from South Carolina and for the purpose OF
preventing a similar occurrence In the f1-
ture No one would do more than 1 in de-
Tending the dignity OF the body anywhere

abridgement OF this right.

this / do not believe Is in the least prob
able Expulsion. however. would be consti-
tutionally permissible. Suspension would
not Even Suspension by the presiding off,
Ger of the Senate. without action by the
Senate itself is a fragrant mistake.
Suspension would mean a temporary ex-
pulsion. with the addition that 1t would
prohibit South Carolina from replacing the
offending Senators with other representa-.
tives.
The impossibtiity OF allowing this should
be apparent 1t seems to me. It requires
two-thirds vote to expel n Senator. and he
may he replaced by the Governor Of his
State Immediately. If suspension is to be
permitted a majority vote only would be re-
uuired A mi jority then would have 1t In
Its power to accomplish ell the penalties OF
expulsion and more.
"a majority might, on some momentous
occasion, need cnly two votes or four to
give II 4 two thirds vote. This might occur
in the present instance. The majority could
then suspend the requisite number Of Sen
ators and then have the required two-t thirds
vote TO expel Senators McLaurin and Till

b.ity OF evasion.
The Paris treaty. one Of the most i'm
