Especial to tho News and Observer.1
Washington, Feb. 23.--The many
friends of Mr. L. b. Eaton. Of

friends as Patsy North Carolina,
will rejoice 10 know that he will soon
come into the posse ssion of a nice es-
tate. Mr.. Eaton was educated at the
University of North Carolina and OBJ
tanned a position in the Treasury De-
partment here through q Civil Service
examination. He has been promoted
several times and is very popular here
with large circle Of friends, as he is
in North Carolina. The story reads like
a romance, and is given in the following
telegram, printed in some Of the New
York papers:

Caroline Holley, who was an employe of
the Treasury Department at Washington
and who died recently at the age of r.,

Uivas, however, assert that she was in
fatuated with him.
The will has been filed for probate by
Eaton. Attorneys for the heirs at law
and next of kin are trying TO have the
will declared void. Here is the wording
of the document:

said, the comments OF Mr. TilIman had
re fectcd as the soldiers who we're
charged in the letters the South Caro-
lima Senator had read with the cruelties
were under General Funstons command.
Mr.. Burton read General Funston's ex-
plicit denial of the very story which had
been referred to by Mr. Tillman, the de-
NAL concluding with the statement:
This statement / wish to brand as an
atrocious lie, without the slightest foun-
dation. Statesments of this kind are SIM
ply braggadocio and this braggadocio is
repeated in the Senate Of the United
States
Mr. Burton quoted General Funston as
saying that practices Of this kind some
times were resorted to by the Macabebe
scouts (natives.)
That's a confession OF the truth of
the charges" shouted AIR. Tillman He
disclaimed, however. any reflection upon
Gen. Funston.
Soon afterward Mr.. Tillman concluded
his remarks.
McLAURIN STUNG TO ACTION.
Scarcely had he resumed his seat
when there was enacted ono of the most
sensational scenes ever Witnessed in the
history of the United States.
Pale to the lips and trembling with
emotion, which in vain he tried to con-
troll, Mr.. McLaurin, OF South Carolina,
rose and addressed the Senate, speaking
to question of personal privilege, In
stantly a hush fell ovc- the Senate and
over the people in the thrOn&ed GAL
leries. The very atmosphere seemed
surcharged with excitement. With
breathless interest the auditors, both on
the floor and in the galleries hung upon
every word uttered by the South Caro-
lima Senator. Despite the emotion under
which he was laboring Mr.. McLaurin
seemed to be the calmest man in the
chamber. FL spoke with delibe-ation
and his enunciation was clear and dis
