STIRRING TALE FROM SEA
TOLD BY SURVIVORS OF STORM
 THAT SWEPT SOUND.

Suffered Long and Severely and mt One
 Time Did Not Expect to be Saved
 Infant Boy and Little Girl Done Up
 in Dunnage Bags - One Dragged
 Through Seas to Safety-~TwO Coal
 Barges Lost.
 Providence, R. l., Jan, 21.-A tale, the recitation of which seemed like the widest fiction, was told tonight by the survivors of a terrible storm which ragged off Long Island from Sat urday. night until to-day All of them had faced death so long, and suffer- ed so severely that at one time none expected to live. One of the survivors, an infant boy, was tied in a dunnage bag, and hurled from a tumbling life boat to the deck of tug. Another, girl three years old, also bound in dunnage bag, was dragged through the seas and landed safely beside her brother. No person was drowned.
 The survivors were brought here by the tug Buccaneer, which left Balti- more Thursday afternoon, bound for Providence, towing two immense coal barges, the Annie M, Ashe and the Montana, both of which were lost.
 Late Saturday night the vessels en- countered heavy storm off the High lands of Navesink, and when the tug and her tow reached point off the lower side of Long Island sound, the Annie M. Ashe began to settle in the l water. The tug cut loose from the l barge Montana, and went to the res cue of those on the sinking vessel, Captain Lockhardt of the Ashe had a lifeboat launched, into which he placed his two children, tied in dunnage bags, and Mrs. Lockhardt. Engineer Knud- son took charge of the boat. The tug approached within ten feet of the iit- i tie craft, and Knudson, standing in l the bow, hurled a rope aboard. The crew on the tug then hauled the boat 
 paid out their line. Knudson dragged out the bag containing the boy, and threw it into the arms of deck hand. 1 Knudson next grasped the bag in which the little girl was imprisoned, and after catching line from the tug, tied it to the top of the sack. As the boat rose on the crest of wave he dropped the bag overheard, and the crew of the tug hauled carefully. Mrs. Lockhardt gazed on the seized a mo- ment and then dropped back into the boat in a hysterical condition. The men on the other end of the line how ever, succeeded in getting the child aboard.
 1 Another line was sent whirling into the lifeboat, and this Knudson fasten- ! ed under Mrs. Lockhardt's arms. The 1 woman was dropped into the sea as 1 her daughter had been. The men dragged the woman through the sea, but was half drowned when she was hauled on board.

LEGISLATURE MEETS TO-DAY
REQUEST FOB THE INTRoDUC-
 TIoN OF BILLS PROMPTLY.

Democrats Likely to Renew Efforts for
 Amendment of Joint Rule So That
 Minority May be Represented on
 Four of the Important Committees
 Ballot Box to be Opened This Alter
 noon in the Homan-States Contest.
 Hartford, Jan. 21.-The general as- semibly will reconvene tomorrow noon, and it is expected that Governor Woodruff will send a message to it dealing with the states representation at the Jamestown exposition. An ef- fort will be made to induce members ito introduce bills promptly so that the session will be three days this week instead of two. In the senate the presence of Senator Judson will prob ably mean a renewal of the efforts of the democrats to secure an amendment to the joint rule so that the minority may be represented on four of the inn portant committees Several of the re- publieans will help the democrats, it is thought. In the house big batch of bills, to include some of the important ones which have been looked for, will be introduced.
 In the afternoon the senate commit tee on contested seats will open the ballot box from the Fourth ward in New Haven to count the votes in the Homan-States contest That MT. States will be unseated there seems no question, but all the committee can do will be to report back to the senate it's findings Before MT. Homan is seat ed, apparently the committee will have to assign hearing on the protest of MT. Fox against MT. Homan's eligi- bility. This may mean delay. Should in the end new election have to be ordered, the call for special election will probably have to be through the governor. The house committee on contested seats also will begin hearing the Cromwell and Bridgeport contests.
 County meetings will be held, and those from Fairfield and New Haven may thresh out the matter of county commissioners.

PULLMAN ATTACKS AND

FIRST AND LAST ATTEMPT T0 BE FUNNY IN THE
 SENATE.

Pictures That Body as a Minatre, shnxr
 During Discussion of the Brownsville
 Shooting AfRray-PersonaIities Re-
 suit in the Closing of the Doors
 McCOrmack Replies to TiIIman ana
 He Later Apologies, AIso-Spooner
 Serious
 Washington, Jan. M.-Few features of the spectacular were missing from the proceedings of the senate to-day. The Brownsville affair was the sub ject of controversy, and the day be- gan with the announcement of a com promise resolution which brought both republican and democratic senators to- gether on the basis of ordering an in vestigation of the facts of the affray without bringing into question the au- thority of the president to dismiss the negro troops. The resolution was sub- mitted to and approved by the presi- dent at conference yesterday.
 When the 'harnlony'' testimonials were all in, Senator Tillman took the floor and delivered a speech in reply to the recent criticism of himself by Senator Spooner. This speech began with a satirical picture of the senate as minstrel show, which MT. Tillman later said was his first and last att tempt to be funny" an attempt which at it's conclusion brought stinging denunciation from Senator Carlnack in resentment of allusions to him. This was preceded by a serious reply from Senator Spooner on the attitude taken by MT. Tillman on the race problem, all finally resulting in a session of. nearly two hours behind closed doors.
 The secret session was followed by a brief open one in which lMr. Tt1lman made a profuse apology to MT. Car mack, to all the senators whom he had brought into his first essay in the line of humor," and finally to the entire senate. T very much regret that [ ever undertook to be funny, and I will never do so any more' Mr Tilfman then withdrew all he had said in his funny essay" and said it would not appear in the record.
 This apology was at once accepted by MT Carmack, who regretted he had | questioned the motives of his friend. and he, too, withdrew words he had uttered in protest.
 MT. Foraker made a final attempt to get a vote on his resolution but objec- | tion was made and the matter will be taken up tomorrow. MT. Carmack re- marked peculiarly that there were not more than fifteen or twenty senators desiring to talk, and MT. Foraker, feigning seriousness, retorted hotly that the senator need not think the democratic side of the chamber could monopolize the talking. MT. Carmack explained that he was only trying to be funny, that 1t was his first attempt and he would never make another As senators were laughing heartily over this party sally, adjournment was tak- en at 6:15 o'clock.
 I During the entire day the galleries of the senate were crowded to their l capacity and the debate was also list l ened to by seemingly majority of the members of the house of representas- tives who occupied all available seats and standing room in the chamber.

From one of these will be brought forth a democratic leader. From one of these will come a man who is a real oonstitutionalist. Nebraska, Minne- sota, Ohio, Delaware and New York have such material, and it will not be hard to find. When the name from either of these states is presented the states south of the Potomac and the Chic will sustain 1t with a unanimity equal to that of the years past.
 The democrats of the whole nation are going to concentrate on some man who can lead an assault upon that kind of protection which enables American manufacturers to sell goods in foreign markets at lower prices than they demand for the same goods at home.
 This is the battle cry; and added to it must be the plank, Turn the ras- calls out" The south will do its part gloriously, without seeking at this time executive direction.

The Administration Candidate

Secretary Taft goes forth to speak his piece in Ohio next week. His speech has been carefully prepared; not only carefully prepared, but Presi- dent Roosevelt has read and approved it. What the Secretary says will there fore be taken to voice in the fullest measure the administration programme for the campaign of 1908. It will be in phrasing hot after the trusts, but be- tween the lines will be reactionary. Taft is the administrators candidate, with all It's centralizing tendency. If Roosevelt's Secretary of War makes a hit with the country in the tentative stages of the campaign he will fight for victory in the national convention.
 Enthusiastic politicians who hope to see Roosevelt his own successor, despite his earnest protestations, are looking for defection in the party ranks and are praying for a stampede
