 Carolinian's Personal Criticism,
 saying That He Failed In Cour.
 tesy and Good Breeding.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. " The Brownsville affair was the subject of controversy in the senate, and few features of the spectacular were miss ing from the proceedings.
 The debate began with the announce ment of compromise resolution which brought both Republican and Demo- cratic senators together on the basis of ordering an investigation of the facts of the affray without bringing into question the authority of the president to dismiss the negro troops. The reso- lution had been previously submitted to and approved by the president at a conference with senators.
 When the harmony" testimonials were all in Senator Tillman took the floor and delivered speech in reply to the recent criticism of himself by Sen ator Spooner. This speech began with a satirical picture of the senate as minstrel show, which MT. Tillman later said was his first and last attempt to be funny" an attempt which at it's conclusion brought stingihg denun- citation from Senator Carmack in re- sentiment of allusions to him.
 Senator Spooner concluded forty five minute speech with the assertion that the race question could only be settled upon the basis of the enforce ment of the black mans right accord ing to the constitution.
 When the Wisconsin senator yielded the floor he was followed by Senator Carmack (Tenn.), who took exception to Senator Tillman's remark about himself. He said that in all of his ex- perience in the senate he had never heard speech so studiously offensive as that of Mir. Tillman. He referred to the fact that he had been included in the South Carolina senator's crit icism. saying that Mir. Tillman's stric- lures on him had been without provo cation. He said, Tt Is with no feeling of resentment. say with respect to some men, that 1t is their misfortune rather than their fault that they do not know how to speak the language of courtesy and good breeding"
 This was preceded by serious reply from Senator Spooner on the attitude taken by Mir. Tillman on the race prob lem, all finally resulting in session of nearly two hours behind closed doors.
 The secret session was followed by brief open one in which Mir. Tillman made profuse apology to MT. Car mack, to all senators whom he had brought into his first essay in the line of humor" and finally to the entire senate. q very much regret that I ever undertook to be funny, and will never do so any more." Mir. Tillman then withdrew all he had said in his funny essay" and said 1t 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 final attempt to get vote on his resolution, but objec- ton was made. and the matter will be taken up again today.

Public l. Reminded of the Enormous
Credit of the United states

1t is not too much 70 say that the ad-
minstration expects the currency meas
ure announced 10y Secretary Cortelyou
Sunday night to cure completely the
present financial situation. a return OF
confidence is all that is required. in the
opinion Of leading officials.
To restore that confidence the public Is
being reminded Of the enormous credit
Of the United States government, and 10
the extent Of $l50.000000 that credit is
being definitely pledged.
Neither the White House nor the Treas

say about the financial situation yester-
day Secretary Cortelyou declined TO dis
cuss the details OF the Panama Canal

schemes.
The plan OF issuing a large volume Of
certificates Of indebtedness is intended as
a great popular measure There may be a
large number of popular subscriptions 10
the certificates. for they viii bear interest

Gates Will be attractive 20 national banks.
The whole plan is to add TO the circulat-
ing medium OF the country. One eXplana-
ton was that the administration wished
70 appeal 20 the individuals who have
been Withdrawing their deposits from the
banks. and that these persons would be
expected to use these boarded funds for
the purchase Of the new certificates OF
Indebtedness.
a bank may subscribe for the certid-
Gates in any appropriate amount. and ~
the subscription is honOred, the bank
may retain the purchase price in its
own vaults as deposit OF Federal
money.
II is provided by statute that only
registered bonds shall be accepted by the
Treasury as security for circulating
notes Of national banks. The plates for
the certificates are now in preparation

The certificates will be of the same
size as ordinary bank notes or silver

CREDIT CURRENCY NEEDED.
Congressman Fowler Says There In
No Great Danger in Sight.

Boston. Nov. iS.-COngressman Charles
\. Fowler, OF New Jersey. chairman OF
the Committee on Banking and Currency
Of the House Of Representatives. who is
in Boston as the guest Of Congressman
Samuel w. Mccall. gave out statement
in regard to the present financial condi-
tion Of the country. His statement is as
follows:
For the past ten years have been
advocating a system of credit currency
under the law which would allow the
banks to do what they are now doing
from necessity and without law.
1T IS perfectly obvious to any one IA
milar with the conditions and the laws
affecting banking credits that the present
financial status is distinctly a currency
and not a capital matter, and that If the
banks OF the United States had had the
lawful right TO convert bank book credits
or deposits subject TO check into bank
note credits or credit currency. there
would have been no perceptible know
ledge OF the fact that we were moving
agricultural products this fall to the value
Of upward OF $1,000 00C.000, and there would
have been no change in the business con
dItions of the country at all for they are
essentially sound, and there has been no
percepuble 0verproduction anywhere
THE products OF the country outside Of
agricultural products amounted TO over
S17. ZOO 000 O00 more. Further than this II is
absolutely certain that If the clearing
hOuses and banks throughout the country
had Immediately and without hesitation
met the demand FOR currency by issuing
81, s.. $, SO. and $50 certificates and cash
ier's checks OF the same denominations.
the conditions we have undergone would
have been over in ten days or two weeks"

In the opinion OF Representative Giles
pie. OF Texas. who viii succeed himself
on the Banking and Currency Committee
Of the new Congress. the action of tha
administration in adding one hundred and
fifty million dollars to the interest bear
ing debt OF the country is unjustifable.
During the past two or three years. -
said the Texas Congressman last night,
The people have been overtaxed by two
hundred and thirty million dollars. Ger
tain banks have demanded that this sum
be turned over to them without interest
promising. Of course, TO pay it back upon

''The demand is not made upon the
banks Tor this money. or If It is, they
have voluntarily placed themselves In q
position where they can't respond.
Now the people are saddled with q
bonded debt Of fifty millions more for not
less than ten years and IN addition. the
government needs money for ordinary
expenses and Is induced to issue 3 pei
