SENATOR B. X. TILLMAN.
Pen Picture Of South Carolina Man
by Metropolitan Writer.
CA. II. Lewis, in n. Y. American,

CA. Fl. Lewis, in n. Y. Americana
Some vivacious Frenchman once
said that a man is as old as he feels
and woman is as old as she looks. l
do not propose to be drawn into any
discussion Of woman. She is no more
to be improved than a Gala lily is to
be improved. Moreover, my pencil,
however, kindly, is too coarse for
what peachblow delicacy the subject
would demand. 1t would be as
though a stevedore handled spun
glass or Irish lace.
AS to the animal man, however. I
feel more sure as to my ground.
Granting then that the vivacious
Frenchman was right, Senator Till
man-bOrn in 1S47-is much older
than his age.
Mr.. Tillman first burst upon an
unguarded world linked to that hum
bic vegetable, the potato. Mr.. Till
man wanted certain things to occur
IN the destiny Of the potato, and he
went to a farmers convention and
laid bare his views So earnest was
he in his advocacy of the potato
that other delegates took affront and
assailed Mr.. Tillman. Being a man
of his hands-and feet-Mr. Tillman
distinguished himself in these bick-
erings and thrashed several sons of
the soil until they endorsed his po-
tato position.
Mr.. Tillman resolved to make the
potato an issue and carry it before
the people. Organizing his hench-
men of the hills, he led them against
the patricians of the lowlands. who
lacked in reverence for the potato
He ran for the Office of Governor
and was elected. This was in 1890
He was elected again in 1892.
When he became Governor and
had moved into the Executive Man
SIGN, Mr.. Tillman found a broad
green lawn in front. Full of a po-
tato sincerity, and condemning blade
and blossom as the merest badges of
an oppressed plutocracy, he ploughed
up the lawn and planted it to pota-
toes. The peasantry passing were
pleased with the potatoes in Till
mans wool hat. The potato-hating
patricians cursed Mr.. Tillman and
his lawn-wasting agriculture as the
merest mountebank and his trick.
AS to his personal appearance,
Mr.. Tillman is a fashion of sedate
Cyclops. Only his one eye does
not blaze from his forehead, but
adorns the starboard side of his
head. Some with a bent to admire
Mr.. Tilliman have told how he lost
the eye in the field Of South Caro-
lima honor. This is imagination. His
biography lays his optical loss at the
door Of sickness, while historians
who know the Tillman youth, tell of
its being sacrificed on the altar of
accident.
OF medium size, with a face made
grim and sinister by the eye absen-
teeism quoted, Mr.. Tillman, when all
Is said, is bit impressive. His pro-
file is like the side view Of a rip saw,
HIS face is strong, not handsome, and
resembles the raw face Of a cliff, laid
bare by some recent landslide. His
jaw, broad and bony, confers an iron
bound effect. He doesn't look like a
humorist, and he isn't.
Experience has shown that Mr.
T!llman, like every true-born poIiti-

TO ARREST REBELS LEADER.
AMERICAN AUTHORITIES HUNT
MADERO IN Ell PASO.
Papers Apparently discriminating Pro-
visional President I'm Violation OF
Neutrality Are Discovered.

FL Paso. Tex, Feb. 1S.-The self
styled provisional president OF Mex
leo. Francisco l. Madero. is In El
Paso unless he has slipped out in the
last "a hours. So confident are the
United States officials that the direct
Ing head OF the Mexican revolution is
still here that they had a warrant
issued this afternoon for his arrest.
The warrant was issued by Geo. b.
Oliver. United States commissioner.
The warrant came as a result Of the
capture Of papers on the person of
Martin Cassillas. a revolutionary
leader. as he was returning to Mexico
Sunday from a visit to FL Paso.
The papers were in the handwriting
OF Madero and were signed by him.
All were dated February IL at Ell
PasO.
The warrant charges that Madero
planned an armed military expedition
N&sainst - friendly nation and caused
arms and ammunition TO be sent into
Mexico from the United States in vio-
lation OF the neutrality and customs
laws.
The United States troops and fed
eral officers on the border have been
given orders &C. make the arrest. Last
week officials ir Juarez issued n circu-
lar stating tina: Madero was waiting
i'm FL Paso for a chance to enter the
country. This was denied by the
heads OF the insurrecto junta here.

, Ship Subsidy.


(frOm harperS Weekly.)
IL Is entirely natural that a man of
the general character and calibre OF
Gallinser. OF New Hanpshire, should
be the main champion of postal ship
subsidies, and that men like Cummins,
~the opponent OF governmental favor
tism and Burton. OF Ohio with his long
experience With appropriations should
be found very decidedly on the other
side. The curious thing about the
subsidy people Is the promptness and
} indignation with which they reject
any plan for helping our merchant
marine that does not involve actual
payments out OF the Treasury. They
admit that one great handicap we la
Dor under Is the greater cost Of
building ships ln this country as COM
pared with our chief competitors. But
they are hOrrifed at the very idea of
admitting foreign built ships TO Amer
lean rcgistery. and they can see no
virtue even In admitting free the ma
terials OF the ship-building industry.
They get away from all such proposals
by mounting to the higher ground Of
ssentiment and patriotism. 1t all
comes down to a question Of whether
or not the opponents OF subsidies love
the old flag and want to see It back
on the seas again. IL Is OF no use to
point out to them the utter fallacy of
lrthe notion that trade follows the flag.

fixed laws OF Its own. In some inscru-

Hurricane and Blizzard Tie Up Trafic
and PrOstrate Wires.

CLEYFLAND. Nov. II The worst early
winter storm in twenty years hit the
south shore Of Lake Erie this morning.
From all points west and east of Cleveland
reports of devastation have come. No
land fatalities have been reported, but
railway service, both steam and trolley, is
tied up. and telephone and telegraph
wires are down in all directions.
All saihngs from Cleveland were can
celled tonight; also from Buffalo.
At Marion much damage was done to
telephone and telegraph lines by sixty
mile hurricane. W hich hit the city at
midnight and continued for two hours,
when there was cloudburst followed by
a drop Of fifty degrees in temperature
and a snowstorm this morning.
AT Ashtabula, four hours steady pulling
