Journal was a; proved In the senate today
Senator Burros » presented the resolution
of censure upon Senators Tillman and Me*
Laurin. A
The report of tt*e three dissenting Re
publicans submitt *d by Mr. McComas as
serted that the off wises of the South Car
olina senators wero unequal and the pun
ishment should not he the same. The mi
nority report favor M suspension of Mc-
Laurin for five days? and of Tillman for
twenty days. ’
Mr. Pritchard did r»t concur with Mc-
Comas and Beveridg- » a» to infliction of
punishment of McLat trin and asserted
that he had already b«rn sufficiently pun
ished.
The roll was called •» the adoption of
the majority report of the committee of
privileges and election.
Senators Beveridge, t lark (Wyo.). De
boe. Dietrich. Foster ( h ash ), Klttridge.
Millard. Pritchard. Pre ctor and Scott
voted “no" on the resolution. It was car
ried.
McLaurin (Miss.) askezi to be excused
from voting or. account of kinship with
McLaurin, of South Carolina. The latter
declined to vote. Mr. Tillman also de
clined to vote saying ‘That among gen
tlemen an apology for ofl lenses committed
in the heat of blood was sufficient.”
Mr. Kean, of New Jersey, having voted
in the affirmative said th Bt in view of the
remark of Mr. Tillman lie would change
his vote.
When the result of th» vote was an
nounced Mr. Burrows demanded that Mr.
Tillmans words be taken down. When
the words were read. Mr. Tillman said he
did not Intend that his words be offensive
and if they were he would withdraw them.
••Without objection.” snid President Pro
Tempore Frye, “they will be withdrawn. '
“I object.” said Mr. Detrich. Republi
can. of Nebraska, but in the confusion he
evidently was not heard.
Mr. Hoar presented an additional rule
looking to the prevention of such occur
ences in the future which was referred.
The conference report on the consuls
bill was then taken up.
The senate agreed to the conference re
port on the consuls bOl.
Senator Tillman was asked if he would
have anything more to say regarding the
action of the senate. He replied:
"No. I'm done.”
Debate on Report Was Very Lively.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. March L—Af
ter the reading of the resolution by
the clerk. Mr. Burrows presented the re
port of the majority of the committee.
The report recited the history of the al
tercation in the senate and quoted the
language then used by the offenders. All
agreed to this statement. The report con
tinues:
That the conduct of the two senators
was an infringement of privileges of the
senate, a violation of its rules and deroga
tory to Its high character. tending to bring
the body itself into public contempt can
not be questioned or denied. Indeed the
senate by a unanimous vote has already
placed on record its condemnation of the
senators by declaring both guilty of con
tempt.
• The majority of the committee ase of the
opinion that the legal effect of the ad
judging these senators in contempt of the
senate were to suspend their functions as
senators and that such a punishment for
disorderly behavior was clearly within the
power of the senate, but the conclusion
they have reached makes it unnecessary
to discuss this question. The offenses
committed by the two senators were not
in the opinion of the majority of the com
mittee. equal gravity. The charge made
by Mr. Tillman had been once before the
senate specifically denied in parliamen
tary language by Mr. McLaurin. The of
fense charged against Mr. McLaurin was
among the most reprehensible a senator
could commit.
Mr. McLaurin did not commence the
encounter, but only stood in his place at
his desk where he was speaking and re
sisted the attack made upon him. In
other words, his offense was confined to
the use of unparliamentary language, for
which he had unusual provocation. Nev
ertheless. his offense was a violation of
the rules of the senate of so serious a
character that in the opinion of the com
mittee it should be condemned.
In the case of Mr. Tillman the record
showed that the altercation was com
menced by the charge he made against
Mr. McLaurin. Such a charge is inex
cusable except in connection with a res
olution to investigate. Mr. Tillman not
only made the charge without any avowal
of a purpose to investigate, but also dis
claiming knowledge of evidence to prove
the offens«. and this he said after the
charge had been specifically and unquali
fiedly denied by Mr. McLaurin.
Buch a charge, under any circumstances
would be resented by any man worthy to
be a senator, but. made as it was in this
instance its offensiveness was greatly in
tensified and its effects should have been
foreseen by Mr. Tillman if he had given
any thought to the matter. This feature
of his offense, coupled with the fact that
be also commenced the encounter by quit
ting his heat some distance away from
Mr. McLaurin and. rushing violently upon
him struck him in the face, makes the

case one of such exceptional misbehavior
that a majority of the committee are of
the opinion that the offense was of much
greater gravity than that of Mr. Mc-
Laurin.
“The penalty of a censure by the senate
in the nature of things must vary in act
ual severity in proportion to the public
sense of the gravity of the which the of
fender had been adjudged guilty.
"Therefore, notwithstanding the fact
that in the opinion of the majority there
is a difference in the gravity of the of
fenses under consideration, your commit
tee are of the opinion that public good
and the dignity of the senate will be alike
best promoted and protected so far as
this particular case is concerned by im
posing upon each senator by formal vote
the censure of the senate for the offense
by him committed and therefore recom
mend the adoption of the resolution.”
At the conclusion of the reading of the
majority report Mr. Bailey offered the
following statement of the minority:
"We dissent from so much of the report
of the committee as asserts the power of
the senate to suspend a senator and thus
deprive a state of Its vote and as much as
describes the offenses of the senators as of
different gravity; but we approve the res
olution reported.

The report of the minority of the com

by Mr. McComas, on behalf of himself
and Mr. Beveridge, in which Mr. Pritch

SWEEP DOWN RIVER
PITTSBURG. Feb. 28.—The great gorges
in the Allegheny river are broken and the
ice is sweeping down on this side.
The first break occurred at Montrose,
at 3:30 o’clock this morning, and an hour

with a road like that of heavy artillery
and began to move slowly down the river.

the George Browdy with a crew of four.
The Watson was reported from Montrose
fighting her way against the heavy ice U

It is considered extremely doubtful
whether she will be able to survive.
The Browdy is off the mouth of Sandy
Creek in an exactly similar position.
The residents of the river towns have
been warned of the approaching ice and
preparations have been made to flee to
higher ground in the event of the ice
gorgeing again, causing the river to over
flow.
The water at this poiQt has only risen
about a foot since yesterday and at 10
o'clock the river was free of ice. the head
of the gorge not having reached the city.
Reports at 10 o'clock were that the ice
had gorged again at Montrose, Six-Mlle
ferry and Sharpsburg, and that it was
still intact at Brilliant station. At Mont
rose it is pllpd 30 feet high from qhore to
shore. The Freeport road is under 2 feet

driven to the embassy.
A crowd of several thousand people had
gathered at the depot, but there was no
cheering. At the German embassy a large
crowd also had gathered.
Prince Henry drove in an open carriage,
nodding and smiling recognition at the
applause and returning each military sa
lute. On the threshold of the embassy
the prince, facing the long lines of troop
ers with saluting sabres and the knots of
ladies who had braved their way through
the lines, gave a sweeping bow and went
inside. Within the embassy the prince
had at his disposal the handsome suite of
apartments on the first floor. Here he
had opportunity for a brief rest from the
constant round of festivities. There were
no formalities during the morning.

expensive features of the entertainment
of the royal visitor during his entire stay
in America. He was the special guest of
Herman Ridder, proprietor of The New
York Staats Zeitung, who gathered at his
table a majority of the leading figures
in American journalism. They came from
the four quarters of the country and
made the most noteworthy gathering of
their profession ever assembled in the
United States. There was a felicitous ex

one of the notable incidents of the Am
erican tour of the German prince. i

ANY ONE CAN
Prove the Value of Scientific Food.
A good straightforward test of food Is
worth much to humanity. J'he following
is interesting:
Mr- T. K. Durboraw, of Greenfield, 0.,
says: “After three months’ sickness with
grip I found I had lost 42 pounds, with
little appetite and almost no digestion.
Wife finally put me on Grape-Nuts and I
actually lived on this food, taking It
three times a day, and a cup of Postum
Coffee at each meal for about four weeks.
When I began I was so nervous and
weak that my strength was exhausted
even by dressing, and, of course, I was
unable to do the work loaded upon my
desk, but I hammered away without any
tonics or medicines, only my diet of Grape
Nuts and Postum three times a day. I
found at the end of 23 days, my nervous
ness gone, strength greatly Increased and t
that I had gained 16 pounds.
Finally, after getting back to good
health again, I,- of course, took on differ
ent kinds of food, and, as a change, began
using for breakfast. After a while
some peculiar spells began to appear In
the morning with deathly sickness and
nervous lassitude. I took treatment for
biliousness but that did not avail.
About a month ago I gave up the
for breakfast and took on Grape-Nuts
again. These morning attacks left me en
tlrely in a day or two and I feel that I
have had sufficient evidence of the sci
entific value of Grape-Nuts as a vitaliz
ing. perfect food,, that does not require
the heavy work of the stomach occasion
ed by the use of starchy foods we use
so much nowadays."
HE DECLINES
TO ACCEPT

JENKINS TELEGRAPHS TILLMAN
HE CAN’T ACCEPT HONOR BE
CAUSE OF LATTER’S
AFFRONT.
WARRENTON. Va„ March 1.-Majo r
Jenkins has declined to accept the sword
. which it was proposed to present to him
at Charleston, S. C. When the president
visited that place.
Major Jenkins, who is a member of the
faculty of the Bethlehem academy here,
has sent the following telegram to Lieu
tenant Governor Tillman, of South Caro
lina*
"You are represented in the press as
having telegraphed President Roosevelt at
the request of subscribers to the sword
recently offered me through you, request
ing him to withdraw acceptance to pre
sent same. If this Is so, I must decline,
under these circumstances, to accept the
sword.
CHARLESTON WILL ASK
ROOSEVELT TO ACCEPT
CHARLESTON. March I.—President
Roosevelt will be asked by people of
Charleston to present Major Micah Jen-,
kins a sword on behalf of the citizens
here. A movement was started to this end
yesterday, but halted from consideration
of possible embarrasement to Major Jen
kins. In view of Ms action today In de
clining to accept the sword proposed for
him by Lleutent Governor Tillman, the
movement here is released and the Even
ing Post this afternoon, on behalf of pro
moters, presents the matter to the pub
lic,
JENKINS’ ACT EXPECTED;
ROOSEVELT’S BIG TRIBUTE
COLUMBIA. S. C„ March I.—The news
that Major Micah Jenkins has declined to
accept the sword over which so much stir
has recently been created by Col. James
H. Tillman’s letter to the president, causes
no surprise here.
Colonel Tillman is In Edgefield at hls
home and of course no expression from
him as to Major Jenkin’s declaration can
be obtained here.
None of those who contributed to the
fund for the sword and only a very few
who are known, care to have anything to
say about the matter in any way, shape
or form.
The sword is a very pretty one, but
hardly cost more than $65 or S7O. On it is
engraved the words of the president, who
was commander of the regiment In which
Major Jenkins served In the war with
Spain, to the effect that he was the brav
est man he had ever known, that danger
acted upon him like old wine.
Major Jenkins Is the son of a gallant
Confederate general of the same name,
who lost his life on the battlefield. He Is
now the commandant at a military school
in Virginia,
In the war with Spain, he went to Cuba
as a captain of a company in the
Roosevelt Rough Riders.
In the charge up San Juan hill he out
stripped all men and 'officers and was the
first man to land In the Spanish trenches
at the summit. Hls life seemed charmed.
Roosevelt, who was not far behind him,
was so much Impressed by hla dashing
conduct that he had him appointed ma
jor, and afterwards wrote what is now
engraved upon the sword.
It was generally thought here, from the
tone of Tillman’s letter to the president,
which has occasioned such a stir, that the
gallant major would refuse flatly to ac
cept the sword under the circumstances.
TILLMAN’S CONDUCT
REPUDIATED BY CITY
CHARLESTON, March I.—Supplemen
tary to exposition company resolution
last night, renewing invitation to Presi
dent Roosevelt to visit Charleston and dis
claiming responsibility and sympathy for
Lieutenant Governor Tillman’s action, the
city council today, at special meeting
called for the purpose, passed resolutions
repeating invitation already extended by
the city to President Roosevelt to visit
here and appointed a special committee to
present the resolutions to the president
and to express to him the earnest desires
of the people of Charleston that he attend
the exposition. The feeling here against
Tillman is very strong and no effort will
be left untried to mend the insult to the
president.

FULTON COUNTY FAILS
TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS
But 281 votes were cast in Thursday’s
county school election, although the reg
istration aggregated 716. The county
schools will therefore continue with a five
months’ free term instead of a nine
months’ term. Os the 281 votes cast, 191
were for the nine months’ term and 90
against. In order to have lengthened the
term at least 447 favorable ballots were
necessary. A vote of two-thirds of the
registration was necessary.
Although the election has failed of its
purpose, County School Commissioner M.
L. Brittain points with some satisfaction
to the better showing made by several of
the precincts. A similar election was held
six years ago, when the vote against the
extension was much stronger. The bad
weather Thursday is believed to have been
responsible for the defeat of the exten
sion.

Yesterday afternoon Jones said that 1
promised to sell to Patrick for $250 a lett
bearing Rice’s name and purporting to 1
acknowledgment of Rice that he was
resident of Texas, but that Patrick nev
paid the money. Today the witness sa
he did not lose hls trust In Patrick b
cause of the failure to pay the money.
“I trusted him so much that I let hl
leave me out of'the will,” said Jones. "
was hls manner of talking that made n
trust him.” *
Mr. Moore, who was conducting tl
cross-examination, then asked:
,r Did not Patrick speak to You In Rice
presence of the affidavit?”
“No” answered Jones.
Moore then went back to the differei
statements made by Jones and then ask<
If he did not make them with the obje
of protecting himself and had he not bei
afraid of death in hls earlier statement
Jones replied that at first he did not thlr
the truth would help him but he said th
fact had been impressed upon him vei
feebly.
A letter written by Rice about a wet

oil works in Texas was read to the jui

that it would show that Mr. Rice had n
made up his mind to rebuild the oil work

idbas of the killing of Mr. Rice was d
veloped. Jones said he had told abo
the articles in the examination before, bi

that court, all the details he had sin
told to Mr. Osborne.
The assistant district attorney objecti
to this line of cross-examination, but R

us?”
"Xep, I was away about 40 minute ”
“Mr. Rice was ,In tile, same positlO

“Then, as far as you know, Mr. Rl<
may have been dead when you returned?
“Well, I thought he was asleep.”
Mr. Moore read from Jones’ testimon
before Justice Jerome. Then he replied 1
a like question of counsel. “I just, opene

A Grand gentleman who represents

a package and was decidedly surprised at th
Immediate relief it afforded me and still mor

“I have a little son who sings In a boyi
choir in one of our prominent churches, and b
is greatly troubled with hoarseness and thros
weakness, and on my return home from a tri
I gave him a few of the tablets one Sunda
morning when he had complained of hoar*
ness. He was delighted with their effect, rt
moving all hutklness in a few minutes an
making the voice clear and strong.
"As the tablets are very pleasant to the tastt
I had no difficulty in persuading him to us
them regularly.
“Our family physician told us they were a
antiseptic preparation of undoubted merit an
that he himself had no hesitation in using an
recommending Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets for an
form of catarrh.
T have since met many public speakers an
professional singers who used them constahtij
A prominent Detroit lawyer told me that Sts
art’s Catarrh Tablets kept his throat in fin
shape during the most trying weather, an
that he had long since discarded the use o
cheap lozenges and troches on the advice of bl
physician that they contained! so much toll
potash and opium as to render their use i
danger to health.’’
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large pleasan
tasting lozenges composed of catarrhal anti

treatment. ‘
They act upon the blood and mucous mem
