C., who was selected by Senator McLaurin. As soon as he had been appointed it was discovered that he had participated in the lynching of a negro. Investigation showed that he won to the lynching in his capacity of reporter, and ho pleaded that if he had not shot the negro the mob would have burned the man at the stake. His excuse might have oeen accepted wero it not for the fact that Senators from the North and West are being deluged with protests from colored vwters against giving Federal office to a man who was identified in any way with a lynching party. The Senators aro so fearful that unless .these protest r.re heeded the colered votei s will desert the.

Washington, May!.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the senate took a sensational turn again today. Mr. MeComas of Maryland referring to the allied cruelties of American soldiers in the Philippine ...i : i i i i uuo?nuciucs wjit*'ei nu ucepiy deplored told of some of the cruelties which hud occurred ou both sides during.thcCivil war. Neither side, beheld, was to he held re. sponsihlefor those regrettable occurrences as neither side approved of tlicm. Referring to elections in the south, Mr. McComns said that tho senators from South Carolina and Mississippi (Tillman and Money) cried out against tho small percentage of voters in the early ' elections in tho Philippines. After discussing tho election methods in the States referred to ho said: "We behold senators from the two States where there is less popular liberty thau in any others shouting Igudcst for (^institutional, liberty ou the other side of the globe." These remarks drew a sensation* al reply from Mr. Tillman of South Carolina. He charged that McComas had passed over with complacency the "outrages anil iniquities and barbarities," which had been, ho said, "com- ' 111 it ted by American soldiers." I lie declared that when the light ' hail been turned on in full upon ! the Phillippine situation the American people would see to it ' next November that the majority ' in one branch of congress would ' not be "committed to tbis infatn- J ous policy." 1 "I can have my wav," he de. ( clued, "you shall not pass this 5 bill until full light has been turn- ' . . i ed on the Philippine situation." 1 lie declared that it was n ' longer possible to sneer away the responsibility for the cruelties and ' infamies committed by the Atner- ' lean soldiers in the Philippines. ' Referring to the situation of the ' colored people in the south, Mr. Tillman declared the senators from those States were prepared to meet any legislation which might 1)0 brought into congress upon that question. He discussed the situation in the south during and subsequent to the Civil war ami declared that if it had bean known prior to the conclusion of tho war that in tho south tho reins of governmcut were to he turned over to tho negroes there would have have been inaugurated a guoril'a warc? O fare in tho swamps of the south that would have been kept up indefinitely. As ho discussed the question, ho said ho was scarcely able to control himself when he recalled the indignities and humiliations to which the people of his State were subjected during the reeonstruction period, from 18t>> to 1 T ?. In his own State, lie said, tnere were 200,000 more negroes than i whites and in Mississippi there ? vero .*>00,000 more colored than vhite people. In order to main urn their solf respect the whites, i<> declared .vore ol?li<*ed to take O ho reins of <?f government in the jouth l?y whatever means they rould ?using t ho shotgun as one of the means. Referring to the inauguration >? wiiiic supremacy lnsourn uarolinu In? said the whites had secur3(1 a majority of 3,000. It might jii^t us easily have been, he said, 39.000 or 99,O00. They simply got such a majority as was necessary. lie referred to the outrages in tlio Philippines and then said he had heard only of the application of 4 sandcure'' in the south. He thought the sand cure as described was mild. "When," he declared, "we get ready to put a ncgroo's face in the sand, wo put his body there too " He insisted Jthat the Kepubli* cans' contention was that tb* nogs rocs of Jtho south were titled to govern in this country, that tho Filipinos were not titted to govern themselves in the Philippines. In the I tilted Slates, he maintained, a serious problem confronted the government?the negro problem? and wo might better try to solve that than to hunt for trouble in the Philippines. "Throughout the south," he said, "there is a horror hanging over every household for this awful fear of rapine. And yet you turn your back upon it and march to - the east, where you minder and butch3r and torture the poor Filipinos, and you are doing all this in the name of Christianity and humanity and liberty. 1 cau see the hypocrisy oozing out of you all over." (Laughter.) "As Confederates," the senator said, "we cannot think it right to njo into the Philippines and desolate the islands with tire and sword." Adverting further along to the situation in the south, Air. Tillin an asserted. "We wiilnotsubmitt.) negro domination and the sooner you understand that the better." Ho urged that, discussion . c7 )f the southern race question r should cease. "You are taunting is," said ho,, "about our treatment of the negroes of the south lioping at the same time that wo will not interfere with your gaiie i>f deviltry in the Philippines. Wo hope yon will help us of the south to get rid of the threat of nogro nomination wmcn tilings ever us like tlio sword of Damocles. Lynch in^s will continue as long as those n cv> lieuds rape our wives and daughters.'1 While Mr, Tilluian was speaking many of the 1 >emocratie senators left tho chamber, his audience on the floor being largely on the Republican side. Mr. Burton of Kansas vigorously arraigned Mr. Tillman for his utterances. He asserted that the senator who could defend slavery and government by the shotgun could not be expected to think woll of senators who were trying to carry good government to the Philippines. He was astenished that a senator in one breath should make an appeal for unsullied gov eminent in the Philippines and in the next boast of crimes almost 11 i ii Vf.. i> unparaiieica hi oisioiy. .?u nurton followed with a warm defense of tlie government's policy in the Philippines and became involvod in a heated colloquy with Mr. Rawlins of Ft ah because he had denounced some of Mr. Rawlins" statements as foli.
