Win little attempt at oratorical ef-
fort.
Galleries Taxed to Capacity.
He was given careful attention by
brother senators on both sides of the
chamber and the public and private
galleries were taxed to their fullest
capacity by visitors who occupied all
the seats and standing room. With
out the entrances meanwhile, long
lines of men and women unable to

of the truest and best sentiments in

applying to him this quotation from 1
Sponsors 'Faery Queen:
President Barks at and Bites All |

He ranges throughout the whole /
world, neither is there any tAat can
restrain him. OF late he has grown |
especially presumptious and pestient,
barking at and biting all alike,
whether they be blameworthy or in
nocent. None are free from his at
tacks. He spares neither the learned
wit nor the gentle poet. but rends
and tears without regard of person,
reason, or time"
Congratulated by Colleagues.
When Mr.. Tillman concluded his re-
marks there was no further outbreak
III applause, the vice president hav-

motives of malice and a desire for re-
venge in attacking his course in con-

ate today, made reply to the accusa-
tions of the executive. His speech
was read from manuscript.
Has Not Hesitated to critieise the
President.
I'm my public work here" said
Senator Tillman, Il have not hesi-
tated to criticise and comment on the
official actions and utterances Of Pres
ident Roosevelt, and | have, doubtless,
given him good cause to seek revenge.
l have. at various times, arraigned
him in the senate for tyrannical in
vasion of the rights of congress, for
usurpation of authority not given him
by the constitution for disobedience
of the law and the neglect of duty,
and particularly in the case of Mrs.
Morris. for brutal and cruel conduct
toward a helpless woman. l was not
aware that these darts of mine had
quivered in the executive hide and
stung him so, but the -eagerness and
intensity with which he has presented
his case against me, his making a
precedent, when none has existed be-
fore, his taking from the committee
to which he has forwarded them the
papers and giving them to the press
before that committee had considered
them, indicates that Theodore Roose-
welt enjoys to the limit the feeling Of
getting even with Ben Tillman, and
lays on the Big Stick with the keen
est relish, doubtless believing that the
'Pitchfork' has gone out of business.
