A Times reporter called at the hor1e
of Mr.. Allen last night. In addition to
the description given above. it was learn
ed that the young man had no moustacne
and was smooth faced with but little

of Railroad Commissioner James c. Hill,
which does not expire until April OF that
year, and OF entirely abolishing the term
of Mr.. E. G. Akers, who was chosen by
the recent Legislature to succeed Cen
eraI Hill as commissioner for two years
from April, 1908.
MAY CURTAIL SENATORS.
Next to this the most interesting item,
in the meeting was the fact that on the
question of cutting or extending lao
terms of State Senator's, SO as make them
all begin at the same time, the new IN
strument providing for the choosing OIL
the entire body at one time for terms oil
four years. On this point the commit
tee. in order to equalize. must do one OF
three things. Il must extend the terms
of Senators whose seats fall vacant In
1908: cut, those expiring in 1908. or pro-
vide that the successors to the former
be chosen for terms OF two years each
It is likely that the body will reach some
conclusion on this subject to-day.

SENSATIONAL REPLY.
& These remarks drew sensational re-
ply from Mr. Tillman. of South Carolina
He charged that Mr.. McComas had passed
over with complacency 1.-THE outrages and
in.auicies and barbariies which had
been, he said, committed by American
soldiers. He remarked that when the
light had been turned on in tull upon
The. Philippine situation the people would
seq to it next November that the major
ity in one branch of Congress would no.
be committed to this infamous pollcN.
IF I can have my way ne oeciareu, liit7',,

light has been turned on the Phlllpplne
situation, He declared that it was no
longer possible to sneer away the re-
sponsibiIity for the crucltles ana lnta-
mics By the American soldiers IN the
Philippines.
Referring to the condition of the col
ored people in the South, Mr. Illimah
declared that the senators ltolli eiose
states were prepared to meet any leg
is.ation that might be brought into Con-
eress upon that question. lie discusseo
the situation South during and subse-
tiuent to the Civil War. and declared
that if it had been known prior to the
conclusion of the war that the southern
States Government was TO be turned
over to negroes, there would have peen
inaugurated a guerilla warfare that
would have been kept UP indefinitely

Major Tyler was never in finer spirits
and he had a smile and hearty hand
grasp for all as he took his favorite stroll
up Broad Street.

few days" continued the popular eN-
Governor. "but my friends are so kind to
me 1 don't see how I can set away be-
fore Monday
When asked about political matters.
Governor Tyler smiled and said he had
been out on his farm resting his brains
and had refused to allow any such per-
picking questions to cross his mind for
a moment.
When reminded that a, number of his
friends thinking he lived in the Sixth
District, had mentioned his name in con-
nection with Major Otey's successor, he
launched into the warmest praise of the
dead statesman, and said he was obliged
to his friends, but he held his residence
in Pulaski, and had no congressional as
pirations. Governor Tyler was stopped on
every block as he passed up Broad Street
and warmly greeted, and it is evident
that he still occupies a high place in the
hearts of Richmond people.
He is the guest of his friend and form
er staff surgeon, DR.. Charles V. Caring
ton, on Park Avenue.
