Mrs M 10 orris AH,lr Is Used As
a w pom oy ,hs
Sen to-.

Washington, Jan. Is The recent
'orcib!e removal from the White House
OF Mrs. Minor Morris was made the
sutj ct of emphatic denunciation by
MIR. Iillman In the senate yesterday.
His remarks called out remonstrances
from Messrs Hale, Hopkins and Daniel
and led to the abrupt closing of the
debate and the sudden adjournment of
the senate in the middle of the after
noon.
Mr.. Tillman's speech abounded in
peculiar expressions and was charac-
terized by many severe and exception
ally personal thrusts at the president
AT times he wept over what he regard
ed as the indignity to the woman and
his voice and eyes were full of tears
when he declared in the face of pro-
tests from his fellow senators that he
would demand an investigation of the
incident.
The reference to the treatment Of
Mrs. Morris constituted the latter half
OF speech based upon the senator's
resolution making inquiry of the presi-
dent concerning the status of our rela-
lions with the republic of Santo Do.
mingo, and was added to illustrate his
theory that the present administration
is tending towards Imperialism.
In the first part of the address Sena-
tor Tillman characterized the course of
the United States in Santo Domingo as
a great extension of the Monroe doct-
rine, which, if pursued, the policy
would lead the country into serious
complications.
He accused the president of putting
the treaty into execution in the face of
the senate's refusal to act, denounced
the senate as willing to submit subser-
viently 10 all that is asked of it, and
implored the senators to show their in
dependence and thus teach the execu-
tive lesson and at the same time
serve the country.
With reference to the Morris occur
renee, he declared that the president
had been derelict in failing to punish
his subordinates for their course and
gu ',ed statements from persons said to
have been witnesses to show that the
proceeding has been inhuman.

the one hand by Senator Brackets
unsparing denunciation of Senator De.
pew. and the insurance companies, and
on the other by almost equally harsh
criticisms of the Judgment and the mo-
tivcs of the ntroducer of the motion,
the roll call showed Senator Brackets
own vote to be the only one in favor

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 16.-Dis-
patches from over the state tell of sew
eral fatalities, many injuries and seri-
GUS damage to buildings of all kinds
as result of severe wind, rain and
sleet storm, accompanied by lightning.

port that the wind attained velocity
of 60 miles an hour. At Circleville,
wall of brick schoolhouse was blown

nous double-deck bicycle track was
almost demolished. Several barns in
different parts of the country were
struck by lightning and burned with

oil fields will aggregate many tho1-
sands of dollars. Many derricks and
power houses were blown down or de-
molished, and many companies will re
forced to suspend operations pending
repairs
