by brief statements that the resolution
was not quite satisfactory to them. The
resolution was adopted by Il vote of
81 to H.
When Mr.. Tillman's name was call
ed, he added a new sensation to the
proceedings by rising and saying with
Ill concealed emotion, Among gentle
men an apology for an offensc com
mitted under heat of blood is usually
considered sufficient.
The auditors caught their breath us
Mr. Tillman thus entered his protest
against the adoption Of the resolution.
Mr.. Tillman's words induced Mr..
Kean IN. j. to rise at the conclusion
of the roll and say, Having heard the
senator from South Carolina again In
suit the senate, l change my vote from
aye to no."
At the request of Mr.. Burrows the
statement of Mr.. Tillman was read by
the clerk.
Instantly the South Carolina senator
disclaimed any intention of being Of.
fensive to the senate and said that II
they were SO considered he would with
draw them.
The chair (Alr. Frye said that by
unanimous consent they might be with.
drawn, but Mr.. Dietrich (Neb) object
cd. The incident was closed without
further comment.

BEING TRIED
FOR MURDER.

Trenton, n. j., Feb. S.-A
hard blow was struck to-day
against John Hcttrick, charged
with the murder on THANKSGIVING
day of John krauS. The defence
set up by HettrirkS counsel was
insanity and it was shown by the
testimony Of Louis IIcttrck and
Mrs. Lillian Sprecht, brother and
sister Of the defendant, that at The
age Of 10 Years he fell from a load
of hay and suffered fracture Of
the skull, They said that ever
since the accident he has been
subject tocpilcptic fits and was not
at all times responsible for his acts.
Several witnesses brought here
from Buffalo, n. y, testified to the
fact that Ilettrirk was at times of
,msould mind and that he had
been at one time confined in an
insane asylum, from which he was
released under bond.
Late this afternoon DR.. John
W. Ward, Superintendent of the
State Asylum for the Insane, was
called to the stand, and gave expert
testimony tending to explode the
theory that Hettrick was insane at
the time that he committed the
murder. DIR. Ward said that
person while suffering from epi-
lepsy might commit murder, but
under such conditions the person
committing the act would have no
recollection of it.
Hcttrick, in two or three confess
sions, is said to have told in detail
how he killed kraus, and the
Prosecutor is building his case on
the testimony of DR.. Ward. :.
1t was developed during the
time that the brother and sister Of
Hettrick were on the stand that
he had attended a business college
and preparatory school after he
was released from the Asylum for
the Insane, and that his rating as
a student were reasonably good.
1t is expected that the case will
90 to the Jury on Monday.

Eouhccd General Cronje's surrender at
faardtbers on the anniversary of the
battle Of Majuba Hill. Lord Kitchener
apparently selected the same annivrr-
Snry to achieve big success by Il COM
bned movement, lasting two days,
against the ltocr forces within the
HarriSmth and Van Keenen line of
Glockhouscs. The 'ocr losses aggre-

5000 horses, $4,000 head of cattle, 200
wagons, 10000 sheep. 600 rifles and 3d.
600 rounds Of ammunition. General
Kitchener says:
"The prisoners include General De

In response to an inquiry maze by
the government as to the fate of the

which, according to Il dispatch from
Lord Kitchener made public Feb. 26,
was attacked and captured by the

has cabled the following message:
"A report has Just been received that
II officers and AL men were taken
prisoners. OF these one officer and lU5
men have been Released. Colonel An
drrson Of the Imperial yeomanry, who

Elderhy, who commanded the infan-
