ADMITS FRAUD IN THE SOUTH Tillman Says Democrats Shot Nogroes and Stuffed Ballot Boxes. WOULD HAVE IT DONE IN HAWAI', TOO llli Amendment for a Property luul lllciitlnii for Volt In llefcntctl Spooner Would I'm or U.lu cntlonnl Iteitiilreinent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Formal discus sion of the right of former Senator Quay to n seat In tbo senate an n member from Pennsylvania was begun todny by Turloy of Tennessee. He presented n constitutional nrgumeut against tno seating of Quay, which was given eloso attention by his colleagues. Ho will concludo his wpeeeh tomorrow. Consideration of tho Hawaiian government bill brought out a lively discussion hotwecn Tillman of South Carolina and Spoonor of Wisconsin, in which tho former admitted that ballot boxes had been stuffed and negroes hud been shot down In tho south to maintain whlto domination. An amendment was made to the bill, striking out tbo property qualification of voters for members of tbo legislature, but little other progress whs made. Tillman argued that bis amendment sub stituting the suffrage provisions of tho con stitution of South Carolina wus In all senses a bettor provision than that offered by tho committee. TlUtmut suld the people of South Carolina, In their constitution, havo done their level best to provent tho negroes from voting. "What I now nsk you to do,'' he nald, "Is to glvo the Kanakas and Portu guese of tbu Hawaiian Islands the same rower of Huffrugo ux wo In South Carolina have given tho niggers." Wnvl.iK I lie lllootly Shirt. In reply to a question of Spoonur, Tillman i-ald thut tho $200 property qualification had been put into tho South Carolina constitu tion for tho 'benefit of tbo negro. "No piovlsion was needed for tho whites," snld Tillman, "because tho whites would get through anyhow. Wo huvo Bomo conscience in tho south as to treatment of tho nigger," In a brief, temperato speech, Spooncr deprecuted a discussion at tills time of tbo racial question, which had been precipitated by Tillman. Adverting to thu pending amendment of Mr. Cullom Mr. Spooner said: "I don't HUo a property qualification for voters. There Is something of reason In on educational qualification, but manhood suf frage Is one thing and dollur auffrago Is qulto another. I do not know whot may bo dono by congress with tho islands ncqulrcd, but us to tho islandn of Hawaii, thero nro men there who can rend nnd write, and I will not vote for a proposition to exclude the voto of any man because ho has not n prop- i erty qualification." Ho then appealed to Tillman to lay asldo , the bloody shirt. Tillman replied that his only reason for rehabilitating tho bloody shirt beforo it was finally and Irrevocably laid to rest was that he wanted the position of the southern peo ple to bo understood. Ho wns tired of tho taunts and sneers at the southern people. After declaring that In every southern state except South Carolina tho "niggers" held the bnlnnco of power. Ho added "As such they stand there as a menace to a puro suffrage and to good government be cause they nre a purchasable quantity, edu cated or uneducated." AilmltH llnllot lint SIlllllllK. "Wo are charged with fraud and corrup tion and ballot box stulllug. Finally, after tbo bayonets had come tn us again In 1S76, wo roso in righteousness and might. Wo took tho government, wo stuffed ballot boxes, wo bulldozed the niggers und we shot 'cm. And wo aro not ashamed of It Leaning over toward Mr. Spooner and shaking his linger at htm, Mr. Tillman said: "What would you have done? You would havo dono tho sanio thing, 1 seo It In your eyes," (Laughter) Tho amendment offered by Cullom was finally adopted. So, too, was the amendment of Piatt of Connecticut, which has been pending for several dnys, relating tn the appointment and tenure of the olllces of tho Judges of tho Hawaiian courts. After the bill hnd bom further umended Rutler of North Carolina offered an amend ment restoring to Hawaii tho postal savings bank system. Tho umoudmcnt wan, supiortcd by llutler and by Mason of Illinois, tho latter declar ing this was the only civilized country In the world which did not rccoho Imms from tbo poor pcoplo of tho country the only gov ernment which was absolutely dominated by tho banks. Mr. Allison submitted that It would bo Impossible to extend the pontal savings bank ystem over a part of tho United States without making It general In application; and even if It were possible, It would not bo equltablo to pay IVi per cent Interest to postal savings banks depositors In Hawaii, ns tho proposed amendment provided, when a bill was about to bo passed by congress refunding tho interest benrln;; dcht of tho United States at 2 per cent. , Orlls I. nnii Gram Invalid.

Ono of them changed the title of the measure to make it a bill for temporarily raising revenue for Porto HIco. The other added a new section to the bill, limiting its operation to March 1, 1902, unleus sooner repealed. General Shattuc of Ohio opened tho pro ceedings with a plain statement to the effect that ho was willing to defer his own opinion In this matter to the w lubes of tbo president, although he was convinced that his constituents favored freo trade with Porto HIco, He demanded to know, how ever, nnd he wanted no equivocation about It, whether tho president believed tho bill was constitutional and whether he favored the measure If ho did not, Shattuc an nounced that ho would uot be bound by tho action of the caucus. This brought Payne, to hie feet.

Ho cald his promise to contribute was after C'.nrk had nccused him and others of a "villainous conspiracy." Daly explained his acquaintance with WhlteBlde, who had built a block at Uutte for a firm In which Daly was interested. Faulkner again took the witness over the conversation with Corbett and Daly again denied tbo convcrsutlon, Ho denied that Clark's friends would be sent to tho peni tentiary. "I hnvo not tho slightest personal feeling against Clark or tho members of his family." declurcd Dally, "and nny statement of that kind Is a villainous He." A member of the committee suggested tbat no testimony had been given that Daly was unfriendly to Clurk's family. "Hut I am dealing with that chap's ques tions," nnswered Daly, amid a roar at his designation of Faulkner as "that chap," i Daly declured that ho knew nothing of any I telegram to Statu Senator Cullen beforo the mooting of tho legislature, telling him (Cul len) thnt ho (Daly) would be on tho train the next day. Cullon wns then a conductor on , tho Northern Pacific railroad and Daly said It was not probable that he would havo dis cussed tho senatorial question with him, hut ho was quite positive thnt he had never told Cullen that nny man who voted for Clark "would bo published us a boodler and bribe-taker." He romembered casually talking with Cul len us ho passed through tho train, hut no reference wbatovcr had been made to tho senatorial question. "I am auro of that," said Daly, "for I was not sufficiently Interested In the tubject nt tbat time." .MiiLi-M it .SrrleN of llenlnl., Daly also denied authorizing the sending of Pat Conlnn to Flathend county during the 1 statu campaign. Ho also asserted that ho knew of no money being spent In tho legis lature for the postage of houso bill No. 121. "I wish you would go Into that," he ndded. "Neither tho Anncond.i nor tho Amalga mated Copper company spent n cent for that purpose. I believe that Clark and hU friends contributed as murh ns tiny nno tn tho paisagc of that bill, as they were par- ! tlcularly Interested. Hut thnt I contributed nnno 1 do know, and none was contributed fnr me. Tho bills wero In tho Interest of tho mining Industry. 1 told our friends to stand up nnd bo counted, but thnt I would spend no money In that direction. Daly said ho thought Toole's estimate of the amount of money expended In be half of Anaconda in the capital contest in 1891 was about right. Ho had not Jiandlud 55 1 t. I. 4 lit the money, but ho did not bollcve the amount excoedod $360,000. He thought that lh. companies that might bo described as sub sidiary to the Anaconda company had given $200,000. Continuing the discussion of the ciplt.it contest Daly said thnt unquestionably sonic money hnd been sent to MUsoul.i county to Influence tho result, but he wns sure that no such sum had been sent there ns $350. 000 in Anaconda's Interest. He also denied he had promised thu pcoplo of Missoula to build a railroad In Missoula cnuuiy. Tho witness declared that he had supported tho democratic ticket In 1S9I, nnd that he bad not advocated the election of Leo Mantle. Ilolh lt. mi,! Clark llenioernl.. Asked what part of tho state of Mon tana wus distinctly democratic, Daly smiled and. looking at Clark while ho pointed to himself, replied: "Thu westorn part or the state, where I live. Clark and I both live In that part and that may account for Ii." In reply to n question concerning tho campaign of ISss. Daly gavo testimony In conflict with Hint of Clark. He wild he had promised nt llrst that he would not meddle, but later he hud decided that ho could not give Clark his support. "And." hn added, "the majority of the people tool: tho same view, according to the return"" "Do you remember a conversation ou had with J. R. Toole previous to the meet ing of tho legislature In hlch you said you would put up $75,000 to beat Mr. Clark?" "I never hnd any such conversation with Mr. Toolo or nny one else." Daly gavo figures as to the number of men employed by him In various parls of the state, making a total of almost 6.000. Ho said he had kept his checks and check stubs for tin. Inst live years and that they weru subject to the Inspection of the com mittee If It desired to examine them. Daly then complained of feeling ex hausted on account of lllnces and he was excused. State Senator W. A. Clark of Madison county was recalled to make a statement concerning tho testimony of lien J. Fine. Clark pronounced ns falsa tho statement that ho bad altered the records of Madison county. II. (i. OIL Hreveltcd Major (Jen. -nil. WASHINGTON, l'eb. 26.
