time to write for The Courier since

from a distinguished judge in Texas:

Other Bonds Were Stolen.

Columbia, Jan. lit seems
hardly likely that Daniel thinner
man will get favorable recommen-
dation on his petition for pardon
now before the State pardon board.
The State Treasurer's Office has just
unearthed additional purloining of
bonds while he was bond clerk
amounting to $4,000, these last
stolen bonds being out since 1898.
Governor Ansel was privately ad-
vised OF this situation several days
ago. The Comptroller General says
there Is no telling how many OF these
bonds have been stolen, but the trea-
surer's Office is confident from the
interest account that this is the last
of the stolen bonds to be accounted
for.

TMLMAN SAYS IT's MALICE.
Crowds Gather at the Capitol to
Hear Carolinian's Defense.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Charging
that the President hates him with a
bitter, relentless, murderous hatred,
and would destroy him II he could,
and giving this as the explanation
of the recent attack OF the Chief Ex-
ecutive, Senator Tillman to-day de-
Tended his honor and integrity as;,
man and Seahtor from the charge
of graft In connection with Oregon
land grants.
He charged the esident with us
ing the tremedous power of the gov
ernment to annihilate him IL possi-
BILE. He made the sensational accu-
sations that his desk in the Capitol
had been broken open and valuable
papers and maps bearing on this case
had been stolen, presumably by Sc
cret service sleuths. He said: Chico
dore Roosevelt lives in glass house
with glass floors, and ought to be
careful" He promised in future
speech to hold the mirror up to ma
ture and let the President see what
manner OF man he is.
In giving out from the White
House the papers in the present case
which had been sent to a committee
Of the Senate, and were in its possess
sion, Senator Tillman averred that
VIC ISSlueHJ committed q grOSS
breach Of propriety."
He said the CHIEF Executive cared
nothing for courtesy, custom or de-
cency, and had treated with con-
tempt men whose official position
was second only to his own.
Personal Malice Alleged.
'"rhe President is sure have done
something very discreditable aud
outrageous" said Sanetor Tillman,
but all this fuss, fury and fustian
can be attributed to the personal
malice alone"
Senator Tillman has demanded
that the Senate make a formal and
thorough investigation OF the Presi-
dents charges.
Probably never has larger crowd
gathered in the Capitol to hear the
ST ch of an individual Senator. Sen
ator Tillman said he constituted a
precedent in that never before had q
President Of the United States sim
gled out an individual Senator, not
charged with any illegal or immoral
act, and INDUCED in such scathing
arraignment.
He repeatedly made 1t plain that
he attributed the martyrdom which
he considered he was suffering, to
his attacks upon the President for
permitting lawless acts, for usurpa-
tion of power; for brutal and cruel
conduct toward Mrs. Minor Morris;
for other failures, shortcomings and
indefensible official acts.
The speech was heard by almost
the full Senate and by galleries
crowded to suffocation. In attempt
ing to gain admission, one woman
tainted, many had their clothes torn
and their toilets seriously disarrang-
ed, and suffered the loss of their
furs. One man was painfully in
jured. Barely one-fifth Of those who
crowded the galleries ever caught
glimpse inside the Senate chamber.
Members of the House of Represen-
tatfves crowded four rows deep be-
hind the desks of the Senator'S.

 BILL KILLED
California HOnse Reconsiders and Defeats
 fine Measure,

Sacramento, Feb. il. After one of the stormiest debates ever known at the State Capitol the Assembly late yesterday afternoon, by @ very close vote, decided to reconsider Grove Johnson's bill providing for segregat- ing Japanese pupils in public schools and then killed the bill.
 This was accomplished largely through the influence of Gov. Gillette and Speaker Stanton of the Assembly, who had called all influential mem bers into conference and labored to convince them that the passage of any anti-Japanese bill at this time would result in prejudicing the whole coun- try against California and might even lead to the revocation of the exclusion law against the Chinese.
 The vote to reconsider Johnson's bill was 43 to 34 and the final vote on the passage of the bill was fl noes to 37 ayes.
 This strong support for the bill was due mainly to resentment against President Roosevelt's interference in State affairs.
 Closely following the defeat of the anti-Japanese legislation in the House, the efforts of Governor Gillette and his supporters are being turned tow ards the Senate and it is freely pre- dicted that the complete defeat of all the anti-Japanese measures will be ac- complished in the upper house. Every one believes the bills will be killed by the Senate.
 Governor Gillette to-day expressed himself as highly gratified over the &C., ton of the Assembly. He said: s"The has done the right thing in this matter. We will now proceed with the measure introduced by Speaker Stanton by which $1O,O0O will be appropriated for @ census Of the Japanese to be taken by the state la bro commissioner. We wish to get ev- cry possible bit of data for the pur- pose of asking Congress at the next session for an Asiatic exclusion act, if the necessity of such legislation is proved"

The British flag and the Amer ican float side by side on the provision al boundary line on the top of the mountain between Alaska and British America. The picture of these flags, with a man hugRing a monument elecited applause from the kids. Dr. Potterton hoped they would always float side by side even while fighting for peace. One used to go from this point to Lake Bennett by sleighs and thence to the Youkon. At Lake Ben- nett one may see Glacier Bay. It is estimated that the great glaciers melt back at the rate of one mile every ten years. The glacier is now broken wall of 250 feet in height.
