WATSON OFFERS
FIGHT CHALLENGE
TOSENATOR PH|PPS

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Post-
master appointments in Georgia
started a hot exchange in the senate
today between Senator Watson,
Democrat, of that state, and Senator
Phipps, of Colorado, a Republican
member of the postoffice commit
tee with the result that business
was disrupted for several minutes
after which the two senators took
their controversy into the corridor
with the Georgia senator Offering
personal combat.
HIf you say a word out of the
way, I'll knock you down." Senator
Watson said he told the Colorado
senator, after they left the senate
chamber. Senator Phipps declined
to see newspaper men to discuss
the incident.
Senator Watson, discussing the
dispute, which began while the SEN
ate was discussing the army bill,
''e'Au OSAl1COH 1IIppS ueCllneU the
challenge to personal combat, men
toned calling a senate sergeant-at-
arms and then walked away.
The Georgia senator explained
that the dispute involved three post
master nominations--Jack Curran,
to he postmaster at Savannah: J. B.
Crane, at Dixie, Ca, and Lawson
Pritchard. at TennilIe, Ga. All are
personally Objectionable" to him,
Senator Watson said, and he SO mott
fled Senator Phipps.
Mr. Watson stated that Chairman
Townsend, of the postoffice commit.
tee, had allowed him to name a sub
committee to consider the three NOM
nations and that he, Mr.. Watson.
had chosen Phipps on the subcom.
mittee. Senator Phipps since ha,
been in correspondence with the
nominees, although Senator Watson
said he himself had received no let
tiers from them. Last Saturday,
Senator Watson said, Mr.. Phipps
gave him some of the correspondence
and asked him to look over the pa
pers. Today Senator Watson said
he went to Senator Phipps and told
him that he would not examine the
papers and demanded to know
whether his opposition to the three
nominees who We're personally OBJ
jectionable" was to be recognized,
as is the senatorial custom.
A number of persons in the senate
corridors witnessed the clash be-
tween the senators, being attracted
apparently by the loud discussion
which broke into a speech on the
floor by Senator Wadswortk, Re-
publican, New York, before the SEN
ators went outside.
Senator Watson said he proposed
to prevent confirmation of the three
nominees. all of whom, he said, had
made derogatory statements abou-'
him.

BREST, May 22.-Mrs. M L. Sib-
ley and Miss V. NJ. Boyer, Ameri-
can missionaries on their way TO
India, were said today by r. B. Van,
the only other American passenger,
to have been drowned in the British
steamer Egypt, which was sunk off
the island of Ushant Saturday night
by a collision with the French
steamer Seine. Nearly one hundred
other persons lost their lives in the
disaster.
Ninety eight persons are missing
and 242 were saved of those who
were on board the steamship sunk
off the Island of Ushant
1t is possible that some O. the miss
ing may have been picked up by the
steamship Cap Iracon, in addition
to those brought here by the Seine.
The Cap Iracon was nine miles from
the scene and replied to the distress
signals with the assurance that she
was speeding to the spot. Accord
ing to the Egypt's purser, the ship
floated only about twenty minutes
after her plates were crushed in. by
the Seine, The Egypt, he declares,
was moving at the time of the &C.
cident, lying to on account of the
dense fog, and sounding her siren
continuously.
Suddenly there came the warning
Shrek of the siren on the Seine, and
the latter doomed up out of the fog
and darkness, and struck the Egypt
amidships. With the crash there
came a terrible confusion on the
stricken vessel. -Four or five boats
were all that could be lowered, be-
cause of the list of the vessel, and
many persons jumped overheard,
fearing to be drawn down with the
Egypt. There was no one on board
when the vessel took her final
plunge, the purser believed. He es-
timated that fifteen passengers, thirty
white officers and fifty Lascars of
the crew were missing.
