JUNIOR GAVE SENIOR THE LIE During Debate on the Philippine Question on Saturday a Disgraceful Scene Is Enacted by the Two Sena tors From Palmetto State. Washington, Feb. 24—The Tillman- MH aurin feud reached the raost sen sational possible climax in the United Stab s senate Saturday afternoon, v.i: n MeLaurin passed the lie to his < olleague and Tillman, quick as a Hash, jumped over intervening chairs and struck MeLaurin a stinging blow with his list. There was a rapid ex- J? <arji SENATOR TILLMAN, change of blows at short range, the two men clinched and senators rush ed toward the combatants fiom every quarter.

Expert engraving, W-MEIGEIMO, Jewelers, Augusta, : : Georgia. ' oiuriie ::0. At present South Carolina has no standing in the upper house of con gress, both of the senators having been adjudged by the unanimous vote JOHN LOWNDES M’LAURIN. of their fellows to be in contempt of the senate. Neither is entitled to a vote or to recognition until the senate decides their contempt purged. Their case has been referred to the commit tee on privileges and elections and the indications are they will hang there for some time to come. Both men entered formal apologies to the j senate for their actions, but that does j not change their status, nor does it in- ! dicate any change in feeling toward i one another. Their apologies did not i go in that direction. Of course neither man suffered phy- ; sieal injuries in the personal encoun ter. Tillman struck McLaurin a hard j blow in the face, and it looked from j the galleries as if McLaurin got in ! one or two upon the face of his an tagonist before they were pulled apart, j but Tillman thinks he was not struck, j Everybody is expecting more trouble j if the two men get together, for, as j he showed in his statement to the sen- ! ate, McLaurin threatens an aftermath if there is any repetition of the charges that he has sold out to the Re publican party. There is no question j of the physical bravery of either man ! and nobody who witnessed the encoun- i ter would be surprised to learn of ; more serious trouble of the same kind, j It all started over Tillman’s bitter at- j tack upon the Republicans in his ' speech on the Philippines. He charg- | ed that the Republicans had only been J able to ratify the peace treaty by se- j curing the vote of a senator through j improper influences. This led to a i heated colloquy between Tillman and Spooner, the upshot of it being the charge that McLaurin had, through the potency of patronage, been won over by the Republicans. INVITATION WITHDRAWN. Senator Tillman Did not Participate In Reception to Prince Henr/. Washington, Feb. 24. —The president withdrew his invitation extended to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, to attend the dinner given in honor of Prince Henry of Prussia at the White House. It is stated that this action on the part of the president was made neces sary from the fact that it was due to the occurrences on the floor of the sen ate last Saturday. The senator from South Carolina was declared in con tempt of the senate. Senator Martin, of Virginia, a member of the commit tee on naval affairs, accepted an invi tation in Mr. Tillman’s place. The invitation was extended origi nally to Mr. Tillman owing to the fact that he is the ranking minority mem ‘her of the naval affairs committee.

Childs, was suddenly taken with an attack of hydrophobia several days ago, the most alarming symptoms de veloping. The boy and his elder brother wore out hunting on Wednesday last. Of a sudden and without warning the younger boy commenced running from his brother. Ke crouched .behind a log and pleaded piteously with his brother not to shoot him. Almost im mediately l>e was seized with violent convulsions and commenced to froth at the mouth. Half carried and half dragged the boy was finally got home by his broth er, the convulsions continuing every few moments on the way. As soon as his parents learned of the matter the boy’s father made im mediate arrangements to take him to Atlanta for special treatment. The most serious fears are entertained for the boy s recovery. It appears that the child was bit ten about two years ago by a dog sup posed to be mad. The dog belonged to a neighbor and was shot at once, no symptoms of the rabies appearing. The boy’s wound healed rapidly and nothing more was thought of the mat ter until his recent strange conduct. Mr. Childs is a prominent citizen of Newton county and has been mak ing his home in Covington until sev eral days ago, when he returned to his former home in Newborn. It was at this place that the boy was bitten by the dog. It Dazzles the World.
