 of the Majority

Washington, May e0.--The second struggle over the retention nf William Lorimer of Illinois in the United States Senate may be preeipitated at any time from now on untr final adjournment. The Issues were drawn today in the majority and minority reports of the special Investigating committee. sena= tor Lea for the minority, introduced a resolution declaring that corrupt prae- dees were employed in Lorimers cleo ton and that his election therefore was invalid. This resolution will be called up later when Senator Kern of lndi- ana probably will open the debate for the minority. Senators Kenyon. and Lea. the other minority members of the committee, will speak.
 The resolution followed the submis- sion today of the two reports. The ma lority. headed by senator Dillingham; of Vermont, chairman of the commit tee. stood by the Senate's previous Judgment In favor of Lorimer, declar-
 ing that no vote had been secured for him by bribery. The minority contend ed that at least 10 votes for him In the Illinois legislature were corrupt, scored Edward Hines of Chicago and attacked the maJorlty's support of the plea of res adludieata," saying that it was inconceiyabe that the majority members.

 The majority rejected the version of Clarence s. Funk. general manager of the Interna tional Harvester Co, gave of conversation he held with Mir. Hines in the Union League club at Chicago just after Senator Lorimers election. It was during this conversation that Funk claims Hines asked for q sl0,000 contri- button to $00,0o0 Lorimer fund. The majority said that MT. Funk's testimony stood mcorroborated either by other wit nesses or by any circumstances.
 ''In view of the fact that 1t was known to Mir. Hines," said the committee. that the relations existing between the offi- cers of the International Harvester co.. and MT.

NEGRO UPRISING Ok ISLAND OF CUBA Column of 1900 Men Sent
 Against Them MANY SMALL FIGHTS Revolt Caused by Recent Law Which Negroes Consider Unjust - No
 Symptoms of Serious Trouble,
 Says Secretary of Interior

Havana, May 2o.-There is no room for doubt tonight of the existence of a negro conspiracy extending to all the provinces of the island, with the apparent inten- ton of taking up arms against the gov ernment today. which was the 10th anni- versary of Cuban Independence The ne groes appear to have become aroused to rebellion by the denial of what seems to them their just political rewards for services rendered in the war Of independ- ence in which they constituted q great majority of the Cuban forces
 The feeling against the government has been intensified by a law denying the ne- groes the right 10 organize a political party D
 Many Small Fights
 The principal trouble now Is in the vicinity of Sagua ia Grande in Santa Clara province and Cruces. where two aimed parties are operating in oriente province. where several bands are con verging on Gunntanamo City, with the apparent purpose of making q display of force at that place The rural guard dis persed one small party and captured two others.
 The situation is considered sufficiently grave for the government to dispatch this evening column of 1soo men from camp Columbia, composed Of cavalry and in- fantry with field and machine guns, bound for santa Clara and Oriente provinces
 Near Sagua Ia Grande, a squad of rLraes had an engagement with an armed band of negroes. one of the guards was Killed and the negroes escaped From Crt ces comes the report that residents Of the surrounding country are fleeing to ths city for shelter The esinsurgents are reported to have held up locomotive and stolen many horses.
 To Attack Foreign Property
 \ dispatch received bs- the government frcrn Lejas, santa Clara, says that a negro band headed by simon Armenteros des troyed the telegraph station at the salitissiina plantation at Trinidad in Santa Clara, and also burned bridge os the railway from Sasua la Grande to Ger fuegos. Armenteros declares that fl + his intention to do his utmost to de- stroy foreign property.
 At Afariano eight miles from Havana tn. rurale guard exchanged shots with party of negroes, capturing one of t. em and also nine rifles.
 Ths secretary of the interior. Senor Bru. said tonight that there was no doubt alout the widespread racial conspiracy which the government is determined to dea; with drasticaIly, but that up to the r1 sent the only danger points are Santa Clara and Orente. There are no symp- icms of serious trouble, he. added, in other parts of the island.
 The situation resembles that preceding the last revolution when the negroes in February. 19o6 eonspired to make simul- tanoous attack on all the rurale guard pc sts. but only attacked that at Guana- baeoa the garrison of which was mas

Royal Treatment

The papers of Dallas are treating the Birmingham delegation royalty, much to the regret of Atlanta. And even little old Montgomery is jealous This morn ing the News gave a glowing account of Birmingham's glass banner. and how it shown from the rear of the Pullman during that record breaking race from Memphis to the convention city. This afternoon the Times Herald publishes a eleverly written story of the love of Alabamians for Oscar w Underwood The writer was especially struck with the fact that the ladies of the party have, with splendid success, attached the Underwood buttons to the lapels of many coats. Only one man has spurned the little button. He halls from To- ronto, and charges that Underwood was responsible for the III fated effort for reciprocity.
 The papers, too. have commented on the fact that Birmingham is the only city in the United States with the exception of Dallas. of course, the pa pers of which are receiving the details of tho convention through the efforts of staff correspondents.

 The majority took the position that the Senate having once "soemnly and deliberately passed upon the charges against Senator Lorlmer, he should be permitted to retain his seat unless new and convincing evidence had been pro dueed establishing corruption in his cleo ton. Absolutely DO new and substan- tial evidence had been produced at the reinvest.gation, the majority said, and consequently they declared the rules of justice required the former Judgment of the Senate, upholding Mir.

Lorimer Was in Control

senator Iorimer's hand was the guid- ing force in shaping the action of the legislature of Illinois in 1909 He was in such close consultation with Speaker shurtleff and Minority Leader Lee o Nell Brown as to justify the belief that these men were his agents and to warrant holding him bound by their actions.

The Minority Report

The minority report declares
 We have no hesitancy Fl stating the established beyond con tradlction that the election of William Lorimer was obtained by corrupt means
 The minority arraigns Edward Hines, lumber man, declaring it's belief that "he was an accessory to the corruption.
 The minority announced as an impor- tant fact that 1t was developed fhat no third degree or improper methods were used by the Cook county grand Jury In examining members of the Legislature and that no witnesses were tetrorized h. To giving testimony that was false.
 aIn view of these facts sufficient votes having been eorrupted,' says the ml- norty, "it is not necessary for ls to show either Senator I.orimer's connee- tion with or guilty knowledge of the cor ruptlon, nor is it necessary for Us to trace the source of the corruption fund.
