SENATOR TILLMAN EXPLAINS.
Tells Senate Why He Opposed the
Brownsville Resolution.

Rising in the Senate the other day
to explain his vote on the Browns
vile resolution, Senator Tillman
said:
when the Brownsville matter
was first brought into the Senate 1
took the position, l believe alone
among the Democrats, that the presl-
dent was not warranted in his &C
ton; that his dismissal of the troops
under the conditions and circum-
stances was cruel and contrary TO all
ideas of justice which had ever read
about or thought about. The major
ity of the Senate then took a con-
trary position and sustained him.
The Senate to-day has reversed and
stultified itself and emphatically con-
demned his action by the step which
it has just taken, which permits all
of these troops to be re-enlisted un-
der certain conditions-guilty and
innocent alike.
my position then was that the
president ought not to have dismiss
ed and punished innocent men be-
cause some men were guilty.
But my attitude is that somebody
shot up Brownsville, and l believe
some of the negroes did it, but not
more than 25 of them were ever
charged with it, while 168 were dis
charged. Now, to turn the whole
bunch back into the army, as they
doubtless will be, will be to admit
into the service of the United States
some men who have committed muir
der, for there is no doubt in my mind
that you will never be able to lind
out who committed this crime.
Therefore, as did not want innocent
men to be kicked out of the army,
do not want any guilty men to get
back into the army, and so l voted
nay on this proposition. wash
ington special to News and Courier.

MUST FILE REPORTS.
New Law Regarding the Duties of
Magistrates.

Columbia Feb. 26.-In the magls-
trate's bill adopted to-day there is
a provision that all magistrates
should file with the clerks of courts
a statement of all cases and their dis
position, statement of all costs and
fines collected, a detailed statement
of all cases compromised. This state
ment must be sworn to and the oath
must further state that all money
received and fines and costs have
been paid the county. Unless this
sworn statement is filed the treasurer
is prohibited from paying the salary
for the month. This provision was
inserted in free conference.

Prohibitionists Win in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, March 1.-The
Gam bill, providing for statutory
Statewide prohibition, passed the
house by vote of 50 to q. So
great was the demonstration and
general confusion which followed
that the house abandoned any at
tempt to continue further business
and adjourned.
The passage of the bill followed
the Simpson substitute provision for
submission to the people. which was
lost by a vote of "A to 80.
After the passage of the bill Mr..
Jackson introduced a bill to prohibit
the manufacture or sale OF soda Wa
ter and other soft drinks.
The Gam bill provides that liquor
may be sold only by druggists for
purposes of art, medicinal and SINH
lar uses, and that wines may be sold
to churches for the sacrament.
A spirited contest in the Senate is
promised when the bill is taken up
by that body.
