A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
Tillman and MCLaurin Have a Fist
Fight in the Senate.

Washington. Feb. 22.-W ashing-
tons birthday was signalized in the
United States Senate by fist fight.
The day set apart by the nation to
af>rd the American people an oppor-
tunity of paying tribute to the mem
orv of the first President was the oc-
casion OF the most sensational scene
ever enacted in the Senate chamber.
The two Senators from South Carolina
were the active participants in the
affray. Mr.. Tillman in the course of
speech upon the Philippine Tariff
Bill, made serious reflections upon
honor of his colleague, Mr.. McLaurin.
In brief, he charged that Mr.. Nc
Laurin's vote in support of the rati-
fication of the treaty Of Paris had
been cast through the exercise of i'm
proper influences. His charge was
developed in colloquy between him
self and Senator Spooner, of Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Tillman at first declined to
mention names, but when the Wis
consin Senator demanded of him that
he owed it to the Senate and to the
country TO .'namc the man." Mr.. Till
man indicated that he referred to his
colleague from South Carolina. Little
imagining that his words were likely
to be prophetic, Mr.. Spooner remark
ed, sententiously: Il will leave the
Senator to fight that ought with his
colleague" Mr.. McLaurin was not
in the chamber at the time being en-
gagged in committee work; but he was
sent for and appeared just as Mr..
Tillman concluded his speech. Pale
as ashes, MIR. McLaurin rose to ad-
dress the Senate, speaking to ques-
ton Of personal privilege. He re-
viewed Mr.. Tillman's charges briefly
and denounced the statement made
by his colleague as "a wilful, mali
cious and deliberate lie.''
Scarcely had the words fallen from
his lips, when Mr.. Tillman, sitting
near him, with Mr.. Teller, of Colo
RADIO, between them, sprang at him.
Mr.. McLaurin, who had half turned
toward Mr.. Tillman, met him half
way, and in an instant the two Sena-
tors, having swept Mr.. Teller aside,
were engaged in rough and tumble
fight. Mr.. McLaurin received heavy
blow on the forehead, while Mr. Till
man got bad punch on the nose,
which brought blood. Assistant Ser
gsant- ALARMS Layton sprang over
desks to reach and separate the COM
batants and himself received several
blows. He got between them finally
and by main strength wrenched them
apart.
Senators Warren, of Wyoming. and
Scott, of West Virginia, two of the
most powerful men in the Senate,
leaped to his assistance and, pinion-
ing the arms of the belligerent Sena
tors, forced them into the seats In
tense excitement prevailed in the
Senate and in the galleries, which
were thronged with people who had
been attracted by the spirited debate.

THE CASE AGAINST THE ROYAL
BAKING POWDER CO1PANY.

The public are familiar with the
controversy between the Royal Baking
Powder Company and the GOLD LEAF
without knowing the circumstances
connected Herewith.
Perhaps the facts in the case, as
understood by both sides, might be
interesting TO them or they might
not. But leaving all that aside,
from the showing made by the Royal
Baking Powder Company Gate though
it has been in doing SOY they seem to
have the better of the situation, and
we are frank to say the GOLD LEAF
has done them injustice.
We have been entirely honest in
this matter as we are entirely honest
now in saying the above. But in
order to set the Royal Baking Powder
Company right before our readers as
far as we can do SO, perhaps it is due
TO them, to ourself and to the public
that particulars be gone into some
what more fully and so this will be
continued in our next issue"
