Augusta Ga. Feb. 27.-Liuetenant
Governor James f. Tillman, of South
Carolina, who is in the city, says that
in Difference to requests by wire from
the subscribers to the fund for the
sword alluded to. he telegraphed as fol-
lows to President Roosevelt:
"A short time ago had the honor to
address your excellency a letter rN-
questing that on the occasion of YOU
visit to Charleston you present sword
to Maj Micah Jenkins, of the First
United States Volunteer Cavalry, of
whose gallant services you spoke 50
highly, your words being engraved on
the scabbard. You accepted the invi-
tation, for which we thank you l am
now requested by contributors to the
sword fund to ask that you withdraw
said acceptance"
In explaining the sending of the tele-
gram Lieutenant Governor Tillman
said:
1T is with much regret that am
directed, or rather required, to have
sent the telegram ! did. especially in
view of the fact that l am so closely
related to one who but few days ago
was subjected to an affront which was,
seemingly. or at least the people who
contributed to the purchase of the
sword think, unwarranted.

TlLLmAN MATTER GOES OVER.
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections Unable to Agree.

Elections Unable to Agree.
Washington, Feb. 27-The committee
en- privileges and lections held two SEES
man McLaurin episode. but reached no
conclusion beyond deciding to refer the
entire matter to subcommittee and to
meet again ON Friday to consider any
recommendation made by the house
committee. The meeting in the after
noon was devoted to q general exchange
of views. No vote was taken on any
proposition; indeed no proposition was
made either by the senate majority nor
the minority. There was entire agree
ment on the one point, that both the
South Carolina senators should be pun
ished, but there was disagreement on
the details of punishment as we'll as on
the degree of it. A half dozen different
suggestions were made as to modes of
punishment, including suspension and
cenSure by the senate, and censure with
the added requirement of further apol-
ogies from the offenders. There also
was continued discussion of the rela-
tive punishment of the two men. Most
of the republican members of the COM
mittee hold that to Senator Tillman
should be awarded q more severe form
of rebuke than to Senator McLaurin,
while the democrats do not generally
concede there should be discrimination.
Senator Bailey quoted at length from
the speech made by Senator Tillman
which provoked the reply of Senator
McLaurin, contending that it did not
make a specific charge of bribery The
democrats also held out stiffiy against
all suggestions looking to the suspen-
sion of the privileges of the senators as
an attack on the rights of the state they
represent rather than on the senators
themselves.
The proceedings We're not of a char
acter to permit of any definite conclu-
sion as to what the result would be,
tho so far as they went they indicated
censure as the form of punishment
most likely to be recommended. Some
of the republicans. are holding out for
a more pronounced rebuke to Senator
Tillman than could be given in any
verbal reprimand.
The subcommittee appointed is COM
osed of Senators Burrows, Hoar and
Foraker. republicans, and Senators
Pettus and Bailey, democrats. This
will meet tomorrow af-
ternoon and make an effort to frame a
resolution for the action of the full
which will meet again at 10
o'clock Friday

Murder of the Earle Family.

Welsh, La, Feb. 27.-Business has
been practically suspended in this lit
tie town owing to the murder of the
six members of the Earle Family. The
body of l.. s. Earle, father of the muir
dered boys, has been found in n ditch
near his home, with the throat cut and
the body far gone in putrefaction.
There is every evidence that the muir.
dcrs were committed as part of a
pre- arranged plot. The home of Ward
Earle, three miles from here, was some
distance from that of his fathers. The
evidence goes to show that Ward
Earle was first murdered, and that his
father was then summoned from his
home ana murdered. Mrs. Earle left
"a piece of sewing on the machine
in her room when she left the house.
and the three children had scattered
the cards with which they were play

We're found they had been piled in a
heap, with the exception of that of L..

which can be conceived was robbery.

Archbishop Ireland made a striking
address before the National Educa-
tional association at Minneapolis,
Wednesday. Taking as his text ode
votion to the Truth: The Chief Vir-
tue of the Teacher, "the Catholic pre-
late preached a strong sermon, which
became the chief topic of conversation
among the 5000, teachers gathered
in that city.
Without reserve Archbishop Ireland
censured the stories of cruelty and in
justice to natives in the Philippines,
and, as Catholic, he denounced as
absolutely false the hue and cry
recently raised by certain Catholic
newspapers that proselytism is the
order OF the day in the schools of
Manila and throughout the Philip
pines.
He declared religion should be but
another name for peace, and he plead
ed for tolerance in religion and for a
recognition of truth by all.
He said: II am one of those who
see in the sequence of tie late Spanish
American war the guiding hand of a
mighty Providence.
