colored race had longer memories
than white folk. Mark Twain, who
was present, agreed with the remark,
and to prove it told the following:
Some years ago, when south, I
met an old colored man who claimed
to have known George Washington.
I asked him if he was in the boat
when General Washington crossed tho
Delaware, and he instantly replied:
tLor', massa, steered dat boat
"Well,' said 1, do you remember

srate Southerner Makes Fierce and
Sudden Attack on Hoosier Colleague
over Words Spoken in Oebate-Re-
fuses to Make Apology When
Urged by Mr.. SPooner.

washington, July 1.-Senator Bailey
of Texas assaulted Senator Beverage
of Indiana last night just after the
senate adjourned in executive session.
The affair was the result of q bitter
controversy which the two senators
had during the afternoon in which
Senator Bailey had made an unWar-
ranted attack on Solicitor Pentield OF
the state department. Mr.. Bailey de-
manded that Mr. Beveridge retract
the language uttered at that time
The latter declined and Mr.. Bailey de-
clared he would make him withdraw
them. Senator BeVeridge still refused
and the Texan instantly sprang upon
him and seized him by the throat with
both hands The rush was so sudden
and fierce that the chair in which Mr..
Beverage was sitting was pushed
back against the desk and the desk
toppIed over Before the assault
went any further the senators sitting
near had moved between the desks
Senator Hansbrough seized Mr.. Bailey
by one arm and Senator SpOoner
seized the other. The Texas senator
is powerful man and it was with
great difficulty that the senators we're
able to drag him away, and when they
succeeded part of the Indiana sena-
tors neckwear was ripped and torn
away in the vigorous grasp of Mr..
Bailey. Senator Bacon of Georgia and
Assistant DOOrkeeper Layton assisted
N pulling the Texan further away,
Senator Bailey meanwhile struggling
to get free and lunging toward Sena-
tor Beverage AS he was removed he
was heard to utter something like a
threat about killing.
Without further effort, however, he
walked away when Senator Bacon
urged him to be quiet and led him to-
ward the democratic side. Senator
Bacon advised Mr.. Bailey to cool down
and Senator SpOoner urged him to
apologize, but the Texan refused, de-
claring that Senator Beveridge had
insulted him in the senate and he had
taken the only course, as the Indiana
senator had refused to withdraw his
remarks.
Senator Beveridge remained in the
chamber some: time. He made light
