ROW IN THE SENATE.
The Philippine Debate Almost Caus
 ed a Riot.

The Philippine Debate Almost Caus-
 ed a Riot.
 Washington, Jan. 29.-Senatorial dig nity was badly strained during the de- bate on the Philippine tariff bill.
 The Democrats resumed their policy of bitter denunciation, and so unusual and unparliamentary were the proceed ings on both sides that Senator Frye, the presiding officer, read the members a severe lecture.
 Senator Teller, just before the ciose of the session, spoke of the press cen sorship in Manila, and Senator Bever- idge denied that 1t existed. The Colo rado senator. in rage, scored the sem ator from Indiana, called him imperti- nent and continued:
 And I object, too, to being called a liar on the floor of the senate" Senator Beveridge insisted that he only intend ed to correct a misunderstanding.
 You are all." said MT. Teller, point ing to the Republican side, saying things you know are not true on this Philippine question"
 This brought half a dozen Republic ans to their feet at once, and the usu- ally dignif1ed Senator Lodge empha- sized his denial by walking across and shaking his finger in Senator Teller's face. Senator Tillman interfered and was repeatedly called to order for his violent methods of interruption.
 Old senators say 1t has been years since there has been such hurricane of bitter vituperation, of personal taunt, of ugly charges and of unmodified crit icism. Even the debate leading up to the Spanish war lacked the personal bitterness manifested yester- day. Once or twice personal encounters between senators seemed imminent.

TORN BY DYNAMITE.
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN HEART OF
 NEW YORK CITY.

Six Persons Killed and seventy-nve
 Injured-Two Big Hotels Wrecked.
 The Property Loss Nearly a Million
 Dollars.
 By the explosion of a vast amount of dynamite stored in a little hut be- side the rapid transit subway at Park avenue and Forty-first street, New York city, few minutes after noon on Monday six persons were killed, seventy-five others were injured seri- ously and hundreds more were cut and bruised.
 So severe was the shock that the i'm mense hotels in the immediate vicinity rocked as if in the grasp of an earth quake. Glass was shattered and havoc created in nearly every house in an area of mile square. The damage to property alone, 1t is estimated, will ap- proximate $1,0o0,000.
 Nearly POO of the patrons of the Mur- ray Hill hotel, caught in their rooms at the moment of the explosion, which al- most wrecked the big building, were cut and maimed by the falling debris. Three of the inmates were killed, one of them a patron who had been in the house for only two days, the others en- ployees. The other three who are dead were employed in the subway.
 Not window was left intact in the Grand Union hotel, just across the street and the same was true of the Grand Central station, where the faces of the three big clocks were blown out by the concussion. The hands of one of them remaining where the time piece was stopped show that the explo- sion occurred at seven minutes past 12.
 Five persons have been placed un- der arrest. Two are held as important witnesses. The others are Ira A. Sha- Ter, who has the contract for that sec ton of the subway; his foreman and his assistant foreman. Pending the re- suit of the inquest they were held by the coroner each in $1O,OOO baA.
 A correct list of the dead Is as fol lows: Cyrus Adams, seventy-five years old, cigar seller at Murray Hill hotel, 38 Hamilton terrace; Joseph Carr, waiter at the Murray Hill hotel, died at Presbyterian hospital from shock Lawrence Hine, laborer in tunnel, Tor rington street, Ansonia, Conn.,, died shortly after reaching Bellevue hos pital; J. Roderhck Robertson of Nelson, B. C., killed in his room in the Murray Hill hotel; John H. Thompson, report ed dead by the police, but whereabouts of the body unknown, assistant en- gineer, said to. have dropped dead while walking away, and Thomas Tubbs, stationary engineer, who lived at Washington and Wendover ave nues.
 In property damage the Murray Hill hotel was the worst sufferer, its loss being $1O0,0O0. The Grand Union ho- tel was damaged to the extent of $50, 900; the Manhattan Eye and Ear hos pital, $25, 900, and the Grand Central station, $12,0OO.
