In opening his argument, which was expected to be very exhaustive and had been awaited with much interest by his colelagues, It wns observed by his colleagues that he appeared suddenly to be in dis tress. A number of senators rushed to his assistance, challng his hands and ren dering such aid as suggested itself in the excitement.

At the close of tho session he was very fagged from over work. but declined to relax bis ener gy, and since the extra session begnn he has worked very hard In connec tion with the Santo Domingo treaty. His attack today was the direct result of his overworking himself. Overwork the Cause. The senator first worked very hard over the arbitration treaties and it was due largely to his efforts that these treaties were finally amended In the manner which caused the ad ministration to refuse their exchange. He also worked on the Judiciary com mittee over the proposition of con structive recess and the question of the establishment of new judicial cir cuits. Macon Tailors on a Strike Macon.
