SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
A DIAMOND In THE ROUGH

VXyASHINGTON.-T senate gal
w leries are always filled when Sen
ator Tillman is announced to speak.
No other senator since the days of the
acrid and dazzling ingalls, has been
able to draw such crowds as he.
Yet Senator Tillman isn't great
orator. In the first place. his voice is
a bit shrill and unpleasant. until he
gets warmed up to the shouting point,
and then 1t takes on deeper and
more sonorous timbre.
Again, he speaks somewhat discon-
nectedly, sometimes losing the thread
of his argument altogether. But, like
creek or river diverted from its path.
he always gets back to the main bed
of his progress in time.
He sometimes makes his sentences
so long that he has to pull up short
and begin again. When he reads from
prepared manuscript-thisi Is not
often-the monotony of his delivery
is tiresome.
When he is making speech from
data scattered about his desk he has
prodigious difficulty in finding his ref
erences at critical junctures. He
gropes all over the Uttered desk and
the desks of his senatorial neighbors
on either hand for the missing piece OF

bringing the Schley case to the atten-

senators as to whether a joint resolu-

president and that of the court of in
quiry in relation to the command at
Santiago could be carried through the
senate. Senator Rayner Is anxious to
secure an overturn of both these judg-
ments by act OF congress. as was done
in the Fitzjohn Porter case.
The Maryland senator believes he
has a sufficient number of votes
pledged to enable him to adopt his res
olution. Admiral Schley is now con-
