At tho session of tho International American conferenco today tho delegates of Nicaragua, Hon duras, Costa Itlca, Kcundor, Guatemala and Salvador presented a motion to tho effect that tho president of tho conference ha em powered to send a me.isugo to the president, director general, directors ond employes of tho Buffalo 1'an-Amerlcan exposition ond to tho people of Buffalo In general con gratulating them Upon tho exposition's suc cess. Tho motion wos referred to the com mltteo on federal welfare. When proposals for a Pan-American bank wero taken up tho report from tho committeo was read rejecting tho amendment of Chill, which was that tho nations Interested glvo tho bank nn annual subsidy of $100,000 gold for llvo years. Augusto Matte of Chill then presented another amendment, as follows: That there ho established In New York or'somo other Important commercial cen ter u bank of tho character In question and Hint the.H.ild bank be aided bv all the republics or America In every form compatible with their Internal legislation, either by way of annual subsidies for a limited period or of exemption from tax ation, or In nny other manner considered expedient. In supporting this nmendment Mr. Matte said that If tho proposed Pan-American railway was to bo subsidized ho could moo no reason why tho Fan-American bank should not be also subsidized. Pablo Mnceilo of Mexico explained that tho legislative dilllcultlcs In this matter wos organic nnd not merely accidental. Ho, said that Senator Davis had ' as sured him that tho United Stntcs would novor countenance a stnto-aldcd bank.

SCENE IS A DRAMATIC ONE (Continued from First Page.) posed tho lucomo tax, had not been read out of tho democratic party. The holding of such views by northern men, no matter how' diverse, did not endan ger the position of certain political loaders, nnd consequently thoy wero lmmuno from nttuck. But when a southorn man, said Mr. McLnurln, tried to get the benefit of tho tariff for his people those whoso polit ical career might be ended by thu success of his efforts were ready to crush and hu miliate' him. lie had contended that If tho tnrlff wero n robbery his section should sharo In tho booty. Upon tho Issue of thnt speech ho had Inter gone Into a campaign In South Caro lina, and although his democracy had been attacked upon tho stump tho pcoplu of his stato had endorsed him. Ho declared that during that campaign calumny, falsehood and trickery never beforo equalled In Amer ican politics hud been employed. Now tho prlnclplo charge against him was that dur ing thu McKlnley administration .ho had been "bought by patronuge," nnd that ho had renewed his former contract with President IlooBovelt. Entertaining tho high personal regard that he did for both tho lato president and his accessor, Mr. McLaurln snld It would bo unnecessary for him to say thnt neither would ho stoop to so Igno- bio an act. Anmvcr the ClinrKf. It wsb true that nn unfortunate condition of affairs had ex 3 ted In his ntatq, nnd that no nan recommcnueu gnou men tor omces becnuso ho did not desire to seo a repeti tion of tho horrlblo affair nt Lakovlllo whon a negro postmaster had been burned to death. Ho. had voted for tho war with Spain, and declared that In the same spirit In which ho had cost that voto ho felt that ho was compelled to support tho adminis tration thnt conducted It. Ho still thought that tho conduct of tho war should have been non-partisan, and during Its progress he had never heard from President Mc Klnlcy's lips a word concerning party ad vantage. Mr. McLaurln paid a high tributo to tho lato president, whom ho character ized ns a "broad statesman nnd Christian gentleman." While without official knowlcdgo of tho charges brought against him by his demo cratic colleagues, from tho newspapers ho understood that tho principal charges wero that ho hnd not opposed tho ratification of tho treaty of peace with Spain, thnt ho had uphold tho administration In Its efforts to restore order In tho Philippines nnd to that ond had voted for nn Increase In tho standing army, and that ho was In favor of the upbuilding of the American merchant marine. filnrlen In the Acensnt Ions, "If these nro tho only charges," said he, dramatically, "they arc truo nnd I glory In them." He said ho had not wished to voto against his party on the question of ratification of tho peace treaty and hnd It not been for tho reopening of hostilities In the Philip pines ho wpuld have deferred to tho opinion of his colleagues. "But," ho declared, "tho dictates of reason nnd cousclenco should not bo stilled by the party lash." With bitter words Mr. McLaurln thon proceeded to excoriate tho now leaders of tho democracy, who, ho said, had guided tho party through Its destruction during thu last six years nnd wero trying to crucify those who would seek to druw tho democratic party back to Its old nlleglanco. Ho still proposed he snld, to voto In his Judgment for what ho believed to bo along tho lines of democratic principles, but did not proposo to place himself against a proposition which ho believed to bo for tho best interests of tho pcoplo simply bo catrao it was advocated by republicans. Will .Not Ho Driven Out. In conclusion Mr. McLnurln snld ho did not proposo to bo driven from his own party nor to bo forced Into nfllltatlon with tlfu party with which ho did not caro to ally himself and on great public questions ho would net according to tho dlctntes of his own conscience and best Judgment. When Mr McLaurln took his scat Mr. Jones of Arkansas took tho Moor. Some of tho statements made by Mr. McLnurln Mr. Jones considered a rellectldn upon him self and said he desired to offer a state ment concerning tho incident to which Mr. McLnurln had 'referred. At tho extra eos slon of tho senate last spring ho had been aBked by tho caucus niTlcer for the list of senators who wore to bo summoned to n caucus and Mr. McLaurln's name being montlnned ho (Jones) had said he, himself, would seo tho senator from South Carolina, "I mot him In tho clonk room," said Mr. Jones, "and, recalling tho fact that ho had not nttonded a democratic caucus for more than two yoars, I asked him what hla status was. .Ho replied that his relations with tho party wero such that he thought It would be embarrassing for him to enter tho democratic caucus. I then ald to him: 'You do not wish to be Invited, then?' and ho replied, 'Certainly.' June nnil Tlllniiiii Talk. "As to tho charge of ulterior motive on my part," continued Senator Jones, "I nm content to treat It with tho contempt It deserves. It Is a notorious fact that cvory ono seems to understand, except the sen ator from South Carolina, that there has boon no demoi ratio caucus at this session ot congress. I have no hesitancy, bow- evcr.'ln saying that In a revent conversa tion with a leading member on tho other side I snld to him that t did not think the democratic caucus could undertake to pro vldo committeo assignments for tho sen ator from South Cnrolina." Mr. Tillman of South Carolina was on his feot when Mr. Jones concluded. In his characteristic way he nnnounced that whilo his name had not been mentioned, ho realized that ho was tho enmo of it nil. Ho would not nt this tlmo mnko nn ex tended reply. Briefly ho reviewed tho controversy be tween himself nnd Senator McLnurln which led to the Joint tender of their resignations to tho governor of South Carolina last spring nnd told of tho governor's sugges tion that tho resignations he withdrawn. ('oiiNiilriicy In ii Dreiiin. Mr. Tillman snld ho contended that the governor was simply "a box Into which ho had put letters for tho legislature" and that thoy could not undo their net, but Mr. McLnurln hnd hastened to withdraw his letter. Mr. Tillman snld ho had exnmlned the record and thnt of about 200 casos In tho history of the government whero sen ators had resigned Mr. McUaurln enjoyed tho enviable distinction ot being tho only ono who had withdrawn his resignation after ottering It. As to Mr. McLaurln's chnrgo of conspiracy to humiliate him by barring htm from tho democrntle caucus, Mr, Till man called attention to tho fact thnt he had not been In Washington during the extra session of tho sennto last spring. "This conspiracy," he. said, "Is n drenm conjectured up hy hltn. It Is a creation of his own brain." I.t-millly of tin Iliii'Mtlnn. Mr. McLnurln made no reply to' Mr. Till man, but In replying to Senator Jones snld that ho did not desire thnt thero should bo anything personal In his chnrgo that thero had been nn "ulterior purpose" in nnythlng he had done. Mr. Hoar ot Massachusetts ad.' eased himself to tho kgullty of tho designations which the South Carolina senators had sent to tho governor of their state. Ho declared that thu resignation ot a legisla tive ofllco vacated thnt olllce at once und ho doubted whether such resignations could bo withdrawn. Ho said Spcakor lllaluo had hold so on ono occnslon In tho house, con trary to tho English notion thnt a legisla tive olllce cannot be resigned. He said that n man could not bo kept in ofllco against his will and raised a laugh by observing that In his opinion neither of tho South Cnrollun senntors had n right to addrcsa tho sennto if tho statements by Mr. Till man wero correct. 'I'll I in. I n Iteiicutn II Im Clinlli'iiKO. Mr. Tillman said he had been ot tho snmo opinion hlnibelf nnd In withdrawing his resignation from the governor of tho state ho added "If It was lawful to do so." Ho buggestcd that tho Judiciary committeo look Into the matter, ns he should enjoy noth ing so much as washing the "dirty linen" ut home. Jumping to his feet Mr. McLaurln de clared lu ringing tones that he waB ready to meet his colleague at nny plnco or at nny tlmo for tho discussion of tho Issues between them. Thcrcupou, In most dra matic fashion, Mr. Tillman challenged his collcaguo to resign on tho spot. "Lot us draw up tho papers now," said ho, "and then tender them to this man (pointing to tho presiding olllcer) and that- will set tle It." Mel.iuniii Kill In to Accept. All eyes wero turned upon Mr. McLaurln, but tho latter did not. rlso from his scat or mako reply. Mr. Hoar, explaining In detail tho oc casion upou which Speaker Blaino hnd held a resolution Immediately -vacated a seat In tho house, said a resolution for the ex pulsion of n member from South Carolina wns about to bo voted upon, nnd tho mem ber knowing that tho resolution would lo adopted sent his resignation to tho chair with tho Intention of addressing tho houso aud then offering It beforo tho voto on tho resolution was taken. A-i soon as Speaker Blulno saw tho nature of tho communication sent to him he im mediately declared tho seat vacant, thus putting nn end to nil furthor proceedings. Mr. Hoar contended that If the fncts bearing upon tho case of tho South Carollnn senators had been correctly stated It was doubtful whether they wero entitled to seats upon tho lloor of tho senate nt this time. Ho thought tho committeo on privileges nnd elections should Inqulro Into tho matter. IiixInIh on .lolut IteNlKiilltlon, Mr. Tillman snld If his colleague would prepare any document that would vacate his seat ns well as his (Tillman's) ho would bo elnd to slisn It. As Ioiil- ns ho retire. scnted the peoplo on tho lloor. ho snld Inn conclusion, ho proposed to represent them honestly nnd not In n fashion which was a dlsgraco to his state. Mr. Lodge at this point nnnounced tint while tho resignations wero preparing ho would movo that tho sen nto go Into oxecutivo session. I'iiuImIi lonelier liy Dentil.

Ho wns under bond with a suioty company for $30,000. In addition to this ho hnd real estate and personal property In this city sufficient, In tho opinion of 'Mr. Hellmnn, to protect tho bank from tho loss of a dollar. Fleishman married the daughter ot A. J. Harrcll, a wealthy cattleman ot Vlsnlla, but was divorced some time ngo. He Is a man of 42 years of age, medium build nnd smooth face. No Vnlhl lixeuic.
