jected horses to cruelty in pulling hair
out by the roots from their tails. Blunt

tity that would add wondrous beauty
to any colored bellies toilette.
"Aer 0 making a hair mattress? ?"

mand for live horse hair for the manu-
facture of switches?"
Yes; 1 thought hen I had collected

know that they are the chief causes OF

A MINSTREL SHOW
sion and Senator Tilliman
Apoloqizes.

Washington, D. c., Jan. ga spec
tacular speech by Senator Tillnlan was
the chief feature of ar exciting day in
the senate yesterday. The South Caro-
lima senator's effort was a reply to
the recent criticism of himself by SEN
ator Spooner. He began with a satirlcal
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 con-
clusion brought a singing denunciation
from Senator Carmack in resentment OF
allusion to him.
This was preceded by a serious re-
ply by Senator Spooner on the atti-
tude AXE by Senator 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 Senator Till
man made a profuse apology to SEN
ator Carmack, to all senators whom
he had brought into his first essay in
the line of hunlor," and finally to the
entire senate.
81 very much regret that I ever I'M
Gertook to be funny and l never will
do SO again."
Senator Tilllnan then withdrew all
ne had said in ms funny essay and
said it would not appear in the Rec
ord.
This apology was at once accepted
by Senator Carmack. who regretted
he had questioned the motives of his
friend, and he, too, withdrew words he
had uttered in protest.
The Brownsville affair was h sub
ject of controversy and the day began
with the announcement of a compro-
mise resolution which brought repub-
l1cans and democrats together on the
basis of ordering an investigation Of
the facts of the ARRAY without bring
ing into question the authority of the
president to dismiss the negro troops.
The resolution was submitted to and
approved by the president at u confer
ence yesterday.
After the speeches and mutual apol-
ogies a been made Senator Foraker
attempted to get a vote on his reso-
luton. Objection was made and the
matter will be taken up tomorrow.
The senate adjourned until 6:15
o'clock.

sion.

JAMAlCA'S GOVERNOR
MAY BE RECALLED
British Foreign Office in Absence o.
Word From There Condemns
S-wettenham,s Conduct.

London, jan. 2S.-The colonial Office
Alexander Swettenham, the governor
of Jamaica, of the situation which led
to the withdrawal of Rear Admiral
Davis warships from Kingston on Sat
urday. The silence, although irritating
to the government, is construed as a
good sign that this much regretted af-
fair is capable of amicable adjustment
and will not lead to any disturbance
of the friendly relations between the
United States and Great Britain.
1t is supposed that if Governor SWEET
tenham had n reasonable justifca-
ton for his extraordinary letter to Rear
Admiral Davis he would not delay in
placing his government in possession of
the facts, therefore his silence is re-
garded as a confession of the weakness
of his case or an evidence of
ton as having adopted an inadvisable
course. In this light the governors

ment to onyey to the government of
the United States the thanks of the ma
ton for American assistance rendered

cradle Importance.
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grew.
in forwarding this message to WASH
ington with the thanks of the imperial

Of the government and the nation on

of the war office has taken a quite
unusual course and one indicative of
the exceptional Importance of the oc-
caSion by addressing a dispatch to
Secretary Root which indirectly i'm
plies censure of the governor Of ia
inaica. 1t will thus be seer that prac-
tically all the ministers are adopting
a highly app%reciative attitude toward
the United States, and it cannot be
doubted that the incident will be set
tied probably by the recall of Govern
or Swettenham or at least disavowal OF
