Arena at the National

BEVERIDGE ATTACKED BY BAILEY
Who Evinces a Desire to Throttle the
Hoosier Statesman.
No Blood Is Shed, However, Neutrals
Interfering and Dragging the
Lone Star Man Away
Cause of 1t All.

Washington July l. - Senator
Bailey, of Texas, assaulted Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, last night just
after the senate had adjourned from
executive session. The Texas senator
was dragged away and separated from
his opponent by some of those about
the senate. He was very angry, and
threatened severe harm to the Indiana
senator The episode was the result
of heated controversy which the two
senators had during the afternoon,
when Senator Beveridge had said that
Senator Bailey had made IAN unwar-
ranted attack" on Solicitor Penfield,
of the state department. In executive
session Beveridge like other senators
who smoke. lighted cigar and took
"a seat on the Republican side. He
was still sitting there when the senate
adjourned.
Bailey Declares War.
Bailey crossed the aisle and walked
through the seats until he was facing
Senator Beveridge "Beveridge." he
said. Il don't want to have any trouble
with you. but 1 want you to withdraw
those words which charges me with
making an unwarranted attack upon
Penfield-"
II did not intend to insult you," re-
piled Beveridge, land there is nothing
in my language that you could con-
slider offensive"
Beveridge Declines to Retract.
Il don't allow any one to say that
libel a man, and that is what you do
in making the charge. Now if you
won't withdraw the words when L ask
you I'm going to MAKE you withdraw
them"
Bailey had been getting more and
more angry and excited as he talked.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 3O@The

OUTBREAK OF HOSTILITIES
Bailey Makes His Attack Promptly. su-
Neutral Powers Prevent Bloodshed.

Railev Makes His Attack Promptly. Ru.
Neutral Powers Prevent Bloodshed.
AS the words were uttered Bailey
threw himself upon Beveridge, VINO is
a man hardly up to the average in
physique, and seized him by the throat
with both hands. The rush was so sud-
den and fierce that the chair in which
Beveridge was sitting was pushed back
against a desk and the desk was top
pied over. Before the assault could
go any further senators who had been
sitting near moved up between the
desks. Hansbrough of North Dakota
selzed Bailey by one arm and Spooner
Sc zed the other.
The Texas senator is a powerful
man, and 1t was with great difficulty
that the two senators were able to drag
him away from Beveridge, and when
they succeeded a part of the Indiana
senator's neckwear was ripped and
torn away In the vicious grasp Of Bal
ley. Bacon Of Georgia and Barney
Layton, assistant doorkeeper, came
quickly forward and assisted in pull
ing the Texas senator further away,
Bailey meanwhile struggling to get
free and lunging toward Beveridge.
As he was removed a little distance
he was heard to utter something that
sounded like threat about killing.
Without further effort, however, he
walked away when Bacon urged him
to be quiet and led him toward the
Democratic side. Bacon engaged Bal
lev in conversation for some time, ad-
vising him to cool down. Spooner also
went across the aisle and discussed
the matter with the Texas senator,
urging him to apologize and if pos
sible fix it up at once, but Bailey re-
fused all such proffers, declaring that
Be'eridge had fnsulted him in the sen
ate and that he had taken the only
course, as the Indiana senator had re-
fused to withdraw his remarks.
Beveridge remained in the chamber
for some little time and continued to
smoke his cigar. He remarked 60
those who spoke to him on the subject
that it did not amount to anything.
He made no effort to resist or resent
the attack made on him-in fact, the
whole thing was over in a very brief
interval, before much resistance could
have been offered.

STATESMEN IN A RUSH
House Does a Big Days Work
That Adjournment May
Not Be Delayed.
PHILIPPINE BILL Is AGREED UPON
Cannon Grows Sarcastic on Grants to
Expositions-Buffalo Gets Half
Million, Charleston
Something Less.

Washington, July With final ad-
journment probable today the house
worked under high pressure from noon
yesterday until far into the night. AS
a preliminary several resolutions were
reported to grease the legislative
wheels. The rule providing for the
printing of conference reports before
consideration was suspended until the
end of the session, and a resolution
was adopted making motion to sus-
pend the rules in order at any time.
The house then got down to business.
The conference report on the Philip
pine civil government bill, which is
considered the last obstacle In the way
of adjournment, was adopted by a
strict party vote with the single excep-
ton OF Mccall of Massachusetts, who
voted with the Democrats. A partial
report on the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill was adopted
Appropriations That Go By Favor.
After u prolonged fight the house,
by u vote of 11S to 101, adopted the
senate amendment to appropriate
S500,0O0 for the Buffalo exposition, and
then sent the bill back TO conference.
The senate amendments 20 appropri-
ate S160,000 for the Charleston exposi-
ton and S1.000,000 to pay the Ha-
waiian fire-bubOnic plague awards
were defeated, the former by vote Of
Il to lis. A number of bills was
passed under suspension of the rules.
At the evening session the Dick mill
tia bill, which is to be used as a stop
gap for the remainder of the session
while the house is waiting for confer
ence reports, was taken up, but upon
another conference report on the gem
eral deficiency bill the house agreed
to the appropriation for the Charleston
exposition.
Points of the Philippine Bill.
The Philippine civil government bill,
as finally agreed upon, provides for a
Philippine legislature of two houses,
one the Philippine commission and the
other an assembly elected by the ma
tives, except the MorOs and Pagans.
But this legislature is not to be Gre
ated until after a census has been
taken and a condition of general peace
and good order shall haveprevaileG for
two years. The legislature is to elect
two commissioners to represent the
islands in Washington. The powers of
the legislature are defined. The money
standard and the permanent money
system is left for future settlement
This was the chief point of dispute,
the senate insisting on a silver stand
ard currency, Whine the house wanted
gold.

B0NFIREs TOUCHED OFF
From the Lizard to the Orkneys They
Burn in Great Britain.

London, July 1.-The general feeling
of relief as result of the favorable
reports Of the condition of the king
vented itself last night by the touch
ing off of the 5000 bonfires throughout
the United Kingdom which were orig
inally prepared to celebrate coronation
night. The signal to light the fires
was given at five minutes past 8
o'clock. A rocket was sent UP from

In response to this signal bonfires
rose from every elevation of any con-

OTHER IMPORTANT MEASURES
Which the Present Congress Has Sue

ceeded In Getting Through.
Other measures of Importance
passed by this congress are as follows:
The Philippine civil government bill.
which extends to our remote Pacific
possessions a system of internal civil
government, together with coinage,
currency. banking, corporation, tim
ber and homestead laws; repeal of the
war revenue taxes; extending and
making more effective the Chinese ex-
clusion laws; establishing tariff for
goods to and from the Philippines;
extending the charters of national
banks for twenty years; establishing
permanent census office; placing a
high tax ON imitation butter; providing
consular and diplomatic service for
Cuba; establishing an extensive system
by which the government will aid in
the irrigation of the arid sections of
the west.
Other measures of general import
ance have passed one or both houses,
but have not progressed to the final
stage. These include the anti-anarchy
legislation; bill giving statehood to
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
known as the omnibus statehood bill;
the shii' subsidy bill secured early at
tention in the senate but the end Of the
session has come without the measure
being reported to the house; bill Gre
ating the Appalachian forest reserve;
bill to establish q cable between the
United States, Hawaii and the Philip
pines.
Several other measures have ad-
vanced to a certain stage and have
then halted without much prospect for
further advancement. These include
the bill for the election Of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people; the pure food measure; bill
defining the meaning Of conspiracy in
Injunction cases. The senate passed
an important measure creating a de-
partment Of commerce to be presided
over by a cabinet officer, but it has
made no progress in the house. The
Fowler financial bill was also LEFT for
the next congress to tackle.
The amount Of appropriations for
the session will run unusually high,
owing in part to the amount required
to build the isthmian canal. When
Cannon submitted general estimate
of appropriations a few weeks ago
he made the total up to that time
$691, ,445.0O0. Since then the canal bill
has passed, carrying a present appro-
priation of $40,OOO,OO0 for the fran
chise, and enough more for the rights
of Colombia and for beginning the
work tocarry the total up to $50,000,-
600.
