CLASH ON LOST CAUSE.
Senators Hepburn and Williams Eek
change Harsh Remarks.

Washington, July ia characteri-
zation of the Confederacy as an in
famous cause" by Senator Hepburn of
Idaho brought from Senator Williams
of Mississippi a bitter GSbuke in the
senate today.
''But for the parliamentary rules
that restrain me-" declared Mr. Will
liams, II would have a few words to
say about the kind of human being in
whose heart such thoughts can exist. "
Senator Williams had asked to have
Jim Jones, the S2-year-old negro
who had been Jefferson Davis body
guard, and in whose custody tho seal
of the COnfeder was entrusted, re-
tanned on the senate payroll as labor
er. Senator Hepburn acquiesced in
the retention of the negro for his ser
vice formerly given to the senate,
''but not because of loyalty to the
glory of an infamous cause.
Senator Williams replied with great
feeling that he was mot prepared to
hear a civilized man in the twentieth
century call AN infamous cause the
cause for which his (Williams) father
| had laid down his life.
Lee and Jackson may have been
wrong" added Mr.. Williams. THAT
the government is now in existence is
a cause for congratulatior to the chill
dren of the men who died with Lee
and jackson. but can not express the
sentiment nave LII a human DOiA.s
| in whom such sentiments can remain
as have been expressed here.
There is no right of American citi-
zenship," he added, that permits q
man to insult the dead
well, was it a glorious cause 2
asked Mr.. Hyeburn.
There was much glory in it, re-
Piled Mr.. Williams. The senate sus-
, tanned williams by vote of 81 to s
leaving Jones on the payroll at $72C
/ a year as a laborer.
Mr.. Hepburn, following his bitter al
tercation with Mr.. Williams, voted
against the negro.
