OUR BECLOUDED SENATORS.
The Trouble OF Saturday Brings
Further Results.

Further Results.
AS the result Of the alteration be-
tween Senators Tillman and McLaurin
President Pro Tenn Frye, of the senate
gave instructions on Monday that the
names of both senators be omitted from
further roll calls. When the name OF
Senator McLaurin was reached on the
roll call and omitted, Senator Patter-
son, Democrat, of Colorado, protested
against the omission. There were cries
of Regular ORDER" from the Republi-
can side and the roll call proceeded.
Senator Turner, Of Washington, Fusion
ist, rose to a question Of personal priv
ilege and questioned the right Of the
president pro tenn to deprive a member
of his vote.
At the request Of Senator McLaurin.
Senator Pritchard, Republican, of
North Carolina, introduced a resolution
directing the committee on privileges
and elections, to investigate Senator
Tillman's charges that Senator McLau-
rim was improperly Influenced to vote
for the Spanish treaty. The resolution
was referred to that committee.
AS the ranking minority member of
the committee on naval affairs, Senator
Tilman had been invited by the presi-
dent to attend the banquet to be given
in honor of Prince Henry, and had ac-
cepted the invitation. When Senator
Tillman was declared in contempt Of
the senate President Roosevelt COM
missioned Senator Cockrell, Of Missou-
ri. to ask the senator to withdraw his
acceptance. Senator Tillman refused,
and the president withdrew his invita-
ton. In an interview, Senator Tillman
claims that he has been grossly insult
ed by the president. The invitation was
next extended to Senator Martin. of
West Virginia, the next ranking Demo-
cratic member Of the naval affairs COM
mittee. He accepted promptly.

BY reason of their having been de-
clared in contempt of the senate on ac-
count of the incident Of last Saturday,
both Senators Tillman and McLaurin
have been temporarily deprived of their
senatorial powers. Neither has the
right to address the chair or vote. This
situation must continue until the COM
mittee to which their case has been re-
ferred, Is discharged from further con-
sideration Of it, or until the senate al
lows the senators to purge themselves
of the contempt of which they are held
to be guilty. 1t is understood that the
senate considers the matter to be very
grave, and that it will not act hastily.
It may be 30 days or more before the
senators are restored to their former
status.

THE liquor problem, as presented to
the people of Yorkville, Is merely a
choice between two evils. There Is no
denying the fact that liquor will be
sold in spite of the law. But if little
liquor does harm, more liquor will do
more harm. If the sale of liquor under
the restriction of the law is an evil, the
sale of liquor with the consent and en-
couragement of the law, is a greater
evil. If the tigers harm the communi-
ty, the dispensary will harm it more.
Under these circumstances, it would
seem better to increase rather than d.
minish present restrictions.

know how he could make 1t. The ac-
ton Of the senate in declaring Senator
Tilman in contempt was, in his judg-
ment, premature.
Senator Hoar suggested that the SEN
ators could address the senate by unan-
imous consent, or by motion made to
give them that privilege, for which a
majority Of the senate should vote.
Senator Blackburn objected to any
unanimous consent, maintaining that,
If the senators were accorded the floor
pose and had the undoubted right to
speak upon any subject.
"Oh, no! no." came protests from all
parts Of the chamber
Senator Stewart was about to suggest
the practice of courts In contempt
cases, but he was interrupted by Sena-
tor Blackburn with the statement that
the senate was not a court In any sense.
The senate had its own rules and by
them only could it be governed.
Senator Aldrich (Rhode Island) said
that there was nothing in the rules of
the senate which covered specially such
violation Of the order and dignity Of
the body as had occurred. AS both SEN
ators had been declared by the senate
to be in contempt, however, it was man
Hest tnat lney could not take tHe Hoor
except for the express purpose Of purg-
ing themselves of that contempt. He
maintained that senators from South
Carolina had been adjudged out of or
der practically by vote Of the senate.
The discussion on this question was
quite long. and was participated In by
Senator Blackburn, Senator Patterson,
Senator Foraker and Senator Teller.
Other senators showed a disposition
to discuss the subject further. but Pres
ident Pro Tenn Frye announced that he
was ready to rule. and said:
while these two senators are declar-
ed to be in contempt the chair could not
recognize either if he should rise and
address the chair, but on motion made
by any senator that they be heard the
chair would recognize the senator MAX
ing the motion and would hold that the
motion was in order. In the ordinary

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Senator ]. 8. Brice returned from Co.
lumbia last Monday, glad to get home
again after 40 days Of more or less ar
duous work in the general assembly.
The reporter had a talk with the sena,
tor during Monday afternoon; but did
not get great deal Of information that
has not already been published either
in the previous interview or in the Co.
lumbia correspondence Of THE ENoUI-
RER.
There is really not much to tell that
is Of interest,"" said Senator Brice, "ex-
cept about the salary bill and q few
other matters. AS passed, the salary
bill gives the sheriff Of York county
$3.50, the clerk $500, the auditor $1,000,
the treasurer $1,000, the superintendent
Of education 500, the supervisor 500,
the county commissioners $50 each, and
the coroner SITS, and township assess
ors 81 day. With the exception Of
that Of the treasurer, all Of these sal
aries go into effect on the first Of May
next. In the case Of the treasurer, the
salary dates back from January l, last.
That is because the treasurer has here
tofore been paid by commissions and
the commissions for the year would
have been earned by December 81, last,
had there been no extension"
1.-THE road law has been amended In
several important particulars. For one
thing the Communication tax has been
fixed at 81 all over the state, and the
working time extended to eight days II
the county board Of commissioners shall
deem so much time necessary. The age
limit has been fixed between IS and 80.
School trustees and all students OF
schools and colleges have been exempt
ed from road duty.
1.-The pension appropriation this year
is 100000. This Is not to be a regular
thing. The figures have been fixed at
this amount for the reason that the
old soldiers only got 100000 last year
when it was the intention Of the gene
raj assembly to give them $150,OOO. A
$780, 900 appropriation this year will cor
rect that blunder, and hereafter the ap-
will probably be $15o.0O0 per

Washington special to The News

Conditions Changing.

Texas, once the nursery OF the
bovine supplies needed by Terri
tory and Northwestern pastures, is
passing through period of tran
sition, says the Chicago Live
Stock World. Already her
finished cattle are conspicuous in
the markets of the North and
bring high prices, and every indi-
cation points TO steady increase
in this class of cattle. While
the Panhandle ranchman still
has the grazers from Montana,
the Dakotas and other North
western states for steady custom
ers. the Texas cattleman south of
the line has already awakened to
the fact that territory pastures
are thing of the past. As he
cannot send his cattle north of
the line to Craze, his alternative
is finishing the cattle himself,
and this he will do. He will find
the process profitable, and in
time congratulate himself on the
settlement of the vast areas north
of the Red river once devoted TO
pasture purposes. In the Pan
handle country and all over the
staked plains the footprints of
progress are distinctly visible.

winter his herds without feeding
is no longer up-to-date. The

G.. w Shield'the ever popular
Rome" and his friend John
Gardner have been in the city for
a few day left for Stiles Yesterday
afternoon. \ Press reporter got
on Rome's trail and slept on it
but he could no more be caught
than the celebrated and historic
Irishman's flea. for, Just as soon
a. you got your finger on him he
WASH there! Like that other
Dutchman -Finnogin- he was
"otf again.on again, gone again"
Rome's activity this time was
principally due to the new role he
is playing-that of town lot
boomer and in this, like every
thing else Rome tackles, he is
literally a "howling success"
for he certainly did a"land office
business.
He thought he had done about al
the good he could for a raining
spell, and had hit the road for
home with the intention of COM
ing back and letting some more
of his friends in on his ground
floor town lot proposition when
he was held up in the middle of
the road right ahead of the auto
mobile and in front of Taylor &
Johnson's store, and obliged to
mark off another choice inside"
25X125 to friend. These lots
are selling like hot cakes now at
range of 500 to $40 and will
soon be worth several times those
prices. A fine large plot has
been reserved for courthouse pur-
poses and it is destined to be
quite a little city in a short time.
That territory will be cut off to
compose a new county just as soon
as the statutory requirements can
be complied with which will not
be very long, and Stiles will be
the county seat beyond the perad-
venture or possibility of a doubt,
for it is the only settlement in
that region, and there is no show
of competition for county seat
honors. Rome, while here, was
selling lots so quick that he found
it necessary to have another map
made to check off and keep up
with his sales.
