Cerebral HemGrrhagc.

Benjamin Z. Tillman, the veteran
Democratic senator from South Caro-
lima and chairman Of the naval affairs
committee, is seriously i'll at his home

ed by his physician rs doubtful. His
left side is completely paralyzied and
has been suffering from a severe re-
current cerebral hemorrhage since
Thursday.
The seriousness Of Senator Till.
mans condition became known yester-
day when his physician issued this
bulletin:
"Senator Tillman is now suffering
frcm a severe rccurront cerebral hem
orrhage. There is complete paralysis
Of the left side. The attack came or
Thursday afternoon at the Senate and
has been progressive. Because Of tbs
previous attacks ana the age o. the
Senator, the prognosis Is unfavor-
able"
Senator Tillman was stricken with
the hemorrhage-the second he has
suffered-at the Senate last Thurs
day. His condition since has beccnlc
worse and he was unconscious ak"
all of Yesterday. Members Of l..
family have been summoned to the
bedside and some already have ar
rived.
About ten years ago Senator TIL,

paralyzed his right side, but he re,
covered to a great extent. The --latest
attack completely paralyzed his left
side, and with advanced years and
less physical resistance. the outcome
was said last night to be extremel!
doubtful.

Would Save Torpcdoed Ships.

c. Stewart Henslee Of Chattanooga,
Tenn. has invented a device and Of
fered il to the Navy Department to
save torpedccd ships by instant ap-
lication of a plate to the hole caused
by the entrance of 4 shell. The de-
vice. which has been demonstrated
before a number of government Of
hcialS and Representatives, consists
Of number of cone-shaped buckets
of rubberized canvas attached by a
chain. Al the end of series Of these
buckets is a closing disc of steel
plates. When the hull OF vessel IS
pierced the crew lowers the chain of
cones. which are drawn by suction of
the water into the hole and pull after
them the closing disc, which is
brought up against the hole and re-
mains in place by pressure of the
