Under epeelal order, th aenate convened today at 11:45 that It might attend aa a body the service In memory of tha late President William McKlnley, held In tha hall of representa tives at 11 o'clock. Aa aoon as the body had been called to order Mr. Fry," the "presiaerit pro. tern M that by Wi olrectloll ia,t Monday the clerk had not called tha name of the two senstort from South Carolina,' they being In contempt. On Tuesday he -said ha had directed the clerk to restore the aamea to tha roll In tba event of a roll call. He had done thla. not becaua ha doubted tho propriety of hla' action on Monday, but becaue a vry grave question wa involved which he desired to submit to the 'aenate itself. Mr. Frye aald that ' the ! senator from Washington (Mr. Turner) had' taken aa.ap- peal from ha dec talon of the Chair oa Mon- day, but amid the cloud of point of order aad objection, he (Frye)' had overlooked and forgotten the appeal and had proceeded with other buatnesa. For hla forgetfulne he begged the pardon of the senator from Washington. Had h don auch a thing wilfully he never could have forgiven hlm- telf. act Letter frosa Tillman.' Mr. Fry aald he had received a letter from h 9aior aenator from South Caro line, Mr. Tillman, requesting that he .be heard on a question of highest privilege. The chair could not entertain auch a re quest Under the circumstance without the consent of the aenate, but at the proper time, perhapa tomorrow, the request might be entertained. Following I the Uxt of the letter writ ten by Senator Tillman to President Pro Temp0" Frye wh,c tna Uttw Tetrrea to In the ae t today: Aa aoon aa vou shall have announced officially that my name haa been restored to the aenate roll I desire to rise to a Sueatlon of the highest privilege and. as. I o not now know whether you would rec ognise in under the - existing circum stances, I take this means of asking you permission to do this and give me an op- porturity to state my reasons for doing Mr. Turner called attention to the fact that he had aaked that the protest of the aenlor aenator. from South Carolina be apread on the minute. He had desired, he IOer and motions that the senate go Into executive session. : Since that Urn two ad journment of the aenate had interfered with the performance of hla duty. , Mr. Turner maintained that tha filing officially of auch proteata waa in accordance with the custom of the British Parliament and with the best parliamentary practice of thla country on any question Involving a constitutional privilege. Fry Bastala' Tamer. "The aenator Is right," aald the chairman, " Protest will be spread upon tb minute without objection. 1 d ao ordered, u ' Mr- Burrow of Michigan, -chairman 0f lD6 committee on privileges and election, ala proper time an oppor tunlty might be afforded the aenlor senator ' South Carolina to make hi statement that th protest to be spread on the record should be referred to . the . committee on privileges. Mr. Turner said be had no objections. Mr. Bacon tald it occurred to him that the protett was not a matter for further action by the senate. It certainly waa a queation of too great importance to dis pose ot hastily. Mr. Hoar contended that the protest waa In the nature of a petition and ought, there fore, to be referred to -a committee. Such action wa entirely respectful. He did not Insist upon his suggestion, however, in view of the doubt in Mr. Bacon'a mind. The aenate then, at 13:02 p. m., adjourned until tomorrow. Considerable Discussion Aronsed. Thar baa haan finnaMaeahla AmAni nt the ttattr of , differentiation ot the pun- Minment of th two senator, some of the republican membera holding out strongly for a more severe rebuke to Senator Till man than .to Senator McLaurin, because they hold that hi offense of striking a fellow senator waa greater than that of hla colleague, who gave th provocation to the blow, but this court baa been practically abandoned, so far aa the subcommittee 1 tonoerned, and both will be equally rep rimanded. . i It alao has been virtually decided that no apology shall bs exacted from tbe senators. "?r ,B,"t!, "''TTSl senators generally fear such enforced a polo- glea might not amount to apologia after all. Th democratio members of the - com mlttee have auggested that tha censure bould be la very sever language, and, if anything, have been inclined to be more cauatlo than their republican colleague. It 1 th dealr of all th member of th committee to find a course ot action that will be acceptable to the entire senate, and th only difficulty now appear to be to secure the content ot those republican who believe the occasion calls, for more than mora wordt of rebuke. Tha resolution will S?5 rer The action of Lieutenant Governor Till- maa ot 8ou'h Carolina In withdrawing the Invitation to President Roosevelt to pre sent a sword to a South Carolina officer for volunteer service la the Spanish-American war has caused considerable doubt as to whether President Roosevelt will visit tbe Charleston exposition, aa he In tended to do. Today a number of tele- grama on the subject were reoelved at tha White House from South Carolina and I other atatea. It can b stated that the telegram of Lieutenant Governor Tillman hts been received at the White House and that no attention whatever haa aeon paid to It. The president had not yet consld ered what effect it may have on hla pro poeed .vlalt to the exposition at Charles ton. FIXES PENALTY AT CENSURE sMMt for Soath Car.. a .... WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The subcom mlttee of senate committee on pr(vllegea ana elections,, which was appointed yea terday to formulate a prosecution for tbe proper punishment ot Senatora Tillman and McLaurin of South Carolina for their affeaae to the senate of .st week, today practically concluded to recommend tnat th twa senators be severely censured for their conduct and to limit tb punishment ta censure. ..... ..... Tbe subcommittee consists of Senators Burrows, Hoar and Foraker, republican, and Senator Pettua and Bailey, democrat. All were present at the early part of the meeting, but Senator Bailey waa compelled by Indisposition to leaf the conference before Its close. Today' meetlsg waa a very harmonloua one and little difference of opinion developed, The republican membera of the aubcommlttee did not them selves contend for a reaolutlon sus pending tbe two aenatort, but repreaented that there, were torn republican mem bers of the full committee who adhere to the opinion that through auspenslon only can adequate punishment be meted out to the offending members. Senator Beverldge Is understood to be among the moat strenuous a'dvocatea of thla form of proceedings, and Senator Mc Comas la Inclined to agree with blm. Some doubt 1 expressed as to whether they will unite In report limiting tb pun ishment to censure. On the other hand some of the demo cratic membera made it very plain that they not only would not agree In com mittee to the reporting of a reaolutlon of auspenslon, but that If auch a resolution ahould be presented to the senate by a majority of the committee they would resist Its adoption by the senate to the extent of Insisting on prolonged debate. The republican members of the com mittee and many republican aenator who are not members of the' committee, have given very sertoue attention to the delay In the aeaate, and there Is no doubt It la having a pronounced Influence on the dis posal of the question. They recognize the fact that It so disposed the minority can obstruct all legislation . for an in definite time and probably continue the preaent aesslon of congress far into the summer. Some of them- also hold ' the view that censure la a more severe and certain form of punishment than suspen sion. Theae are the reasons which have led the republican membera of the aubcom mlttee to agree to a resolution of cen sure and nothing Is left to complete the proceeding but to secure the assent of their republican colleagues who. ar not member of the subcommittee. The mat ter ha been left for consultation with them, and while the full committee ha been called to meet tomorrow at 10:30 o'clock the subcommittee will meet half an hour prevloua to that time. Thla will afford opportunity to notify the democrata it there should be a change of program. NEW JERSEY LEADS IN SILK Twenty-Klne Million Dollars Capital Invested There In the Industry.
