Fi.t Fight In the Senate.

In the senate on Saturday Senator Tillraan of South Carolina asserted that Senator McLaurin of the same state had been bribed with federal pat ronage to vote for the ratification of the treaty of Paris. Senator McLaurin de clared that this statement was a delib- crate and malicious lie, whereupon he was physically assaulted by Senator Tillman. Other senators separated the combstants. who were voted to be in contempt of the senate. They were not permitted to vote on the Phil ippiae tariff bill on Monday. As a result of the fight President Roosevelt withdrew the invitation to the state dinner to Prince Henry which had been extended to Senator Tillman. Senator McLaurin had not been invited to the dinner. President Frye on Tuesday made a ruling restoring the names of Senators Tillman and Me Laurfn to the rolls. This action was taken, he said, in order to put the mat ter into the hands of the senate. The committee on privileges and elections is considering what further action is to be taken. It is said that both senators may be suspended.
