Washington, Jan. 21-Few features
OF the spectacular were missing from
the proceedings of the senate. The
Brownsville affair was the subject of
controversy, and the day began with
the announcement of a compromise
resolution which brought republican
and democratic senators together on
u basis of ordering an investigation
of the facts without bringing in the
question Of authority of the president
to dismiss the negro troops The
resolution was submitted to and ap-
proved by the president at cOnLer-
ence. When the harmony testi-
aonials were all in, Senator Tillman
took the floor and delivered a speech

Logan with a satirical picture of the
senate as a minstrel show, which
Senator Tillman later said was his
first and last attempt to be funny
an attempt which at it's conclusion
brought a singing denunciation from
Senator Carmack in resentment Of
the illusions to him. This was pre-
coded by a serious reply from Sena-
tor Tillman on the race problem, all
finally resulting in a session of nearly
two hours behind closed doors. A
secret session was followed by brief
open one in which Senator Tillman
rnade a profuse apology to Senator
Carmack Senator Tillman spoke of
Senator Spooner's reference to his po-
sition on the question of lynch law.

The house pronounced unanimously
in favor of charging and making

the so-called political purity bill,

remains of six soldiers.
The bodies had been buried side by
side in the orchard presumably after
the battle of Antietam. In several in
stances the clothing and shoes of the
soldiers seemed TO be intact. hut few
moments after the air reached them
they crumbled into dust. The fact
that the clothes were blue and the
buttons such as were worn by Union
soldiers is regarded as conclusive ev.
ideuce that the remains are of Federal
soldiers
Alongside of one of the bodies was
found a sword in a fair state of pre-
servation. also epulets and large but
tons. indicating that the remains were
those of an officer. In one skull bull
let was imbedded In another leg
OF one of the men had evidently been
amputated.

remains in large box and viii con-
