between Laredo and SaltillO the train
was stopped twice by rebels, who

beneficiary Of fraud.
Lorimer did not vote on his own
case, but his aged colleague. Senator
Cullom, of Illinois, turned against
him, after having formerly voted to
keep him in the senate.
With smile on his face Lorimer
arose from his seat, and with a swing
ing gait walked toward the Republl-

door Senator smoot grasped his hand.
Three senators were absent. Sew
eral were "paired" and could not vote
Senator Culbertson, Of Texas, ,origin-
ally voted to oust LOrimer, and with

Lorlmer's election followed three
days speech by the senator, dramatic
and replete with invectlve for his OPP
ponents. Beginning Thursday, Lor-
inner had spoken In all IN hours
when he rellnqulshed the floor at
1880 this afternoon. Lorlmers fight

afternoon, when the senate doors
closed behind his bulky form, began
