TILLMAN GETS OFF A PUN
Then Frye Talks Seriously and Has a
Verbal Scrap"

Just as Tillman had produced burst
of laughter during the discussion of
the amount of "steel' in q ship by
asking how much "steal" there was in
a ship subsidy, Frye took occasion TO
rebuke the whole proceeding as I'M
seemly and undignifed. For the SEN
ate to hold a session on Sunday, he
remarked, for the sole purpose OF
frivolous debate for the amusement OF
the galleries, was about the most I'M
seemly proceeding he had ever wit
messed. While he spoke Frye turned
so as to face Carmack, who was seat
ed. He at once arose and replied.
IF the senator refers to me I win
say that | am not responsible to him
for my conduct, and 1 shall conduct
myself according to my own notions
Of propriety. If the senator from
Maine does not like my manner he
has my permission TO leave the cham
Der and go where he can attend
church. If he would prefer"
~ would much rather be in church, :"
retorted Frye. IF the senator wishes
to take a recess until tomorrow morn
ing I shall not interfere with it," sug-
gested Carmack.
1.-THE senator knows I cannot" wac
the reply. "weIl," continued Carmack,
the senator IS evidently much more
concerned about the defeat Of this bill
than anything else" Shortly after this
the incident was closed by the restora-
ton of amity, both parties, Carmaek
first, expressing their regrets at the oc,

Fifty.Ninth Congress Winds Up
Its Business and Adjourns
for Good.
SUBSIDY BILL IS A DEAD oNH
Democrats Did the Job with Their
Little Filibuster.
A1drich's Currency Bill Is Safe =
Sunday Sessions Held in Both
Houses-LiveIy Times in
the Senate.

Washington, March 4. - The Fifty
ninth congress adjourned at II O'Clock
noon today, and both houses were in
session from an early hour in the
morning until noon for the purpose of
considering conference reports and af-
fording the vice president and the
speaker an opportunity to sign bills
The appropriation bills were all dis
posed of, and there was little further
legislation of momentuous acted.
Washington, March 4.-Beginning at
II o'clock yesterday by far the larger
part of the session of the senate was
devoted to a filibuster by the Demo-
cratic senators against the ship sub
sidy bill as it passed the house, and
when the senate adjourned a few min
utes before midnight the bill was still
pending, but it was facing the abso-
Lutte certainty Of failure with the close
Of the congress. Speeches intended for
no other purpose than to kill time were
made by Carmack, Dubois. Overman,
NewIands and others, who frankly con-
tossed their intention of defeating
consideration of the, to them, objection
able measure.
Carmack Led the Filibuster.
Never before has the senate appeared
TO relish so much an attempt to kill
legislation by flibustering methods
Carmack, as the director Of the mi
nority movement against the bill, kept
the members convulsed with his sallies
and at no time did he try to hide the
fact that his effort was a flibuster
pure and simple. He scorned subter-
fuge, and at the outset of his remarks
came into the open by addressing him
self principally to the term "filibuster-
ers," which Gallinger had applied to
the Democratic senators who had I'M
dertaken to defeat the measure.
Endorses Webster's Dictionary.
First Carmack devoted himself to an
Endorsement of Webster's dictionary as
an authority on photography and Gefini-
ton and said that if the senate had any
doubt that this work was an authority
he would bring it in and ask that pas
sages from it be read at the desk. Aft
er reading Webster's definition of fill
busterer," with its varying uses and
synonyms, Carmack said that the re-
mark of GaIlinger had branded him as
"a marauder, pillager, a buccaneer,
a sea robber, a freebooter, and a pi-
rate upon the seas''-'"n fact" he said,
II have been accused of almost every.
thing except appendicitis" When he
had spoken for about forty-five min
utes with the obvious purpose of kill
ing time, Carmack paused, looked at
his watch, and remarked: "Wen,
see must be hurrying along" at which

Hartman Orders the Cancellation of

Omaha, March General Manager

the erection of the twelve-story head
quarters building which E. II. Harri-
man was to erect in Omaha at cost
Of $1,20O.000. He did it, he said, I'M

and work begun. Actual work Ia the
construction ON the new building was
to start as soon as the preliminary
work was finished.
In taking this action Mohler referred
to the recent decision of the United

decision of the Nebraska courts that
the Union Pacific and Burlington
should pay the million dollars of taxes
they protest 10 the state Of Nebraska
and also the action of the Nebraska
