that It might attend aa a body the service
In memory of tha late President William

Aa aoon as the body had been called to

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

he begged the pardon of the senator from

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

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

' 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

The action of Lieutenant Governor Till-

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.

sibilities of Irrigation.
Speeches were made by several prominent
lrrlgatlonlets at the afternoon session, after
which tha committee oa resolutions adopted
a platform, favoring national aa oppoaed to
stat aid for control ot tb reclamation of
arid land.
Hon. H. N. Haynea of Greeley made a
masterful address. He apoke ot the early
and later Irrigation developments of north
ern and northeastern Colorado and ot tha
possibilities of that great movement In
southwestern Nebraska In, a, logical and sta
tistical way. Th speaker illustrated that
under a complete system of reservoirs a
more even flow ot water was maintained
In the streams, tbe result ot seepage, and
ably argued that more reservoirs be con
structed. A their construction continued
farther down the river and nearer to the
tat Una ot Nebraska, he said, the flow of
the Platte through that state would be
more evenly maintained, if not made
stronger than ever before.
He suggested that the people ot this
great territory of the Platte river should
not wait for national aid, but ahould at
once proceed to organize in local bodies
for the purpose ot building water storage
reservoir.
Platform I'raje-a Government Action.
At today' aesslon of the Irrigation Con
gress of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska
the resolutions commute made Its report,
which waa adopted. The resolutions recite
that a vast area of the public domain now
of comparatively little value may be re
claimed through irrigation, and quote the
official' utterancea ' of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hitchcock In support of the
claim that the government ' should under
take auch reclamation. A general revision
of tbe land laws Is asked, especially the
repeal of the commutation clause of the
homestead act, the desert land act and the
stock reservoir act. Cession of the arid
lands to the states is opposed. An ap
propriation by congress of $250,000 Is asked
for surveys and experiments snd a larger
appropriation for permanent work. The
preservation of the forests is urged.
Thla morning the member of the congret
visited the Irrigation reservoirs In this
