/ PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 21.- The
[ Philadelphia newspapers late last night
sot in direct Geographic touch with the
country at large for the first time since
4lo y. m. Friday. This was accom-
pliShcd through hcrculcan efforts Of
the mechanical force of the Western
Mon Telegraph company in restoring
to working condition Il number of wires
between Philadelphia and Wilmington,
Del, which had been Frustrated by the
hrrce slretslorm of Friday. The ter-
graph officials concentrated their Of
forts in closing this gap, which covers
distance Of twcnty-sevcn miles, as
they realized that this would most
quickly establish communication with
New York. This opened connection to
Washington, which city is in telegraph
ic connection with New York via the
clrcllltouS route OF I'ttSburg, Chicago
ana Buffalo. One object in getting he
wires in working order to Baltimore
was the facilitating of the handling of
the train on which Prince Henry Jour
n"ycd to Washington.
Never in the history of the telegraph
was the prOstrHtiUn of the wires in this
locality 50 complete. Within a radius
OF sixty miles hundreds of poles were
broken off. Where the poles were not
carried down by the weight of the ice
OF the wires one or more wires in near
~ every span were broken. and in
some localities il will be necessary to
practically rebuild mile after mile of
line. 1t is no "Xng@crntion to say that
The telegraph and telephone companies

OF the storm for months to come.
Within III" city limits the eye was

3. 0ncia1 Warrington Stin Excited
Over snturdsys spaesins Match.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The tonic
Of chief interest in senatorial circles
and, In fact, everywhere in official
Washington IL the fight in the senate
between Senators Tillman and McLal-
rim OF South Carolina. There has been
a number of conferences among SEMI
tors ms to what should he done to pre-
serve the dignity of the senate and to
manifest its sentiment with reference
TO the two senators who violated its
! traditions. While no plan of procedure
has been agreed upon. II is learned that
| there will he very deliberate action,
and IL is said to be more than likely
that 1t will he not less than thirty days
before the South Carolina senators will
be restored to their full powers as sen
at0rs.
The trouble started during Il speech
by Mr.. Tillman Oh the Philippine tariff
bill, in the course of which, a lively
tilt occurred between him and Mr.,
Spooncr over the part that W, J,
Bryan had in the ratification of the
Paris treaty.
Mr.. Mclaurin in response TO a state
mcnt made by his colleague. Senator
Tillman, in words which cut the sen
ate chamber like n knife. said, "rhp
statement is Il willful, malicious and
deliberate lie"
%lr. McLalrin got no further with his
statement. Mr.. Tillman, who was oc.
cupyinS his regular seat on the main
aisle, Sprang with tIgerlikc ferocity at |
his colleague. Without the slightest
hesitation Mr.. McI.aurin sprang to
meet the attack half way. Mr.. TilIman
aimed a wild blow at his colleague with
his right fist. II landed upon Mr. Me-
Laurin's forehead just above the left
eye.
Instantly McLaurin's right arm shot
out, the blow landing upon Tillman's
face, apparently upon the nose. Again
Tillman struck out frantically. this
time with his left hand. The blow did
not land upon McLaurin. Then fol.
lowed wild scrinmagc. both senator's
at each other madly. An in.
slant later the angry senators We're
pinioned in the arms of Senators Scott
and Warren. They We're dragged far
Their apart. although they still made in

Finally they We're forced into their

After the excitement subsidized and

This. In brief. is the story of de-

storm. New York is still partly isolat-
Ell because of the interruption Of teIe-
graphic communication with the south,
ana only mcag"r reports were received
yesterday of the storm damage. These
show, however that every town be-
tween this city and Philadelphia and
some beyond suffered and that tho de-
strurtion was much more widespread
than was at first supposed.
Twelve hundred Telegraph poles. car

down between New York and Norfolk,
In New York the slcct played havoc
with troleys and trees and completely
paralyzcd traffic in several of the bor-
onghs. Brooklyn was without an adc-
q,late street car service for many
hours. and before the repairs TO the
trolley wires were made twenty five
horses were killed by electricity.
Two thousand persons who went to
Coney Island to attend a meeting of

Never in its history has Brooklyn
seen storm more farreaching in its
rffect.
