Washington, Feb. 28.-Senators Me-. Lanrin and Tillman of South Carolina to-day were severely censored by the United States Souato. The adminis tration of the censare grow oat of a sensational personal encounter between the two Senators on the floor of the Senate last Saturday dosing the con sideration of tile Philippine tariff bill. The adoption of the resolution of cen sure probably closes the incident, so far.as official action of the Senate is concerned. Immediately after the Senate con vened to-day Mr. Burrows, chairman of the committee on privileges and electiong, to which the McLaurin-Till m an controversy had been referred, re ported the resolution censure framed by a majority of the committee. Ac companying the resolution was are port narrating the events which led ni to the fight between the two Senaten and setting oat the conclusions of the majority. Abrief statement was presented bj Senators Bailey, Blackburn, Pettus Foster and Dubois, Democratic mem bers cf the committee, dissenting fron some of the conclusions of the majority They agreed, however, to the resolu tion offered. A minority report was presented b] Senators McComas, Beveridge ant Pritchard, Republicans, who main tain?d that the adoption of a resolntioi of censuro was not sufficient punish ment. Practically there was no debate 01 the resolution, although Mr. Gallinge: and M. Platt, of Connecticut, mad* it evident in brief statements that tb resolution was not quite satisfactory t< them. The resolution was adopted b; a vote of 64 to 12. When Mr. Tillman's name was calle* he added a new sensation to the pro eec diu go by rising and saying with il concealed emotion:- "Among gentle men an apology for an offense commit ted under he.it of blood is nsuaUy con sidered sufficient." At the request of Mr. Burrows th 8 tat eme; fc of Tillman was read by th clerk. Instantly the South Carolin Senator disclaimed any intention cf be ing offene*, ra to the Senate and sai' that if they were so considered h would withdraw them. The chair (Mi Frye) said that by unanimous oonse? they might be withdrawn, but Mr. Diei rich, of Nebraska, objected. The ino! dent was closed without farther com ment. When the Senate was called to ord e to-day a notably large attendance c Senators was on the floor and the gal lories were thronged. Both Senatori . IcLaurin and Tillman, of South Can Una were in their seats. Great intel est was manifested by Senators on tb floor and by spectators in the galleric in the reading of the journal whie contained the protest of Mr. Tillma against not being permitted tovot while under the ban of the Senate order of contempt. Mr. Barrows, of Michigan, chairma of the committee on privileges ar elections, presented the following res* lotion which had been formulated t that committee: "Thutit is'the judgment of the Sena that the Senators from South Carolin Benjamin R. Tillman and John 1 McLaurin, for disorderly behavior ax flagrant violation of the rules of tl Senate during the open session of tl Senate on the 22d day of Februar deserve the censure of the Senate ai they are hereby censured for thc breach of the privileges and dignity this body; and from and after tl adoption of this resolution the ord adjudging them in contempt of tl Senate shall be no longer in force ai effect," Mr. Burrows presented the request the majority of the committee whi was read. The report recited the history, of t altercation in the Senate and quot the language then used by the offen era. All agreed to luis statement. The. report then continued as fi lows:1 *'Tho majority of the committee, s of opinion that t ho legal effect of a judging these Senators in contempt the Sonate was to suspend their fun fions as Senators and that such punis ruent for disorderly behavior ia eic ai within the power of the Senate but t conclusion they have reached make unnecessary to discuss this quos tit The offenses committed by the t Senators were not, in tho opinion o majority of the committee, of eqi gravity. "Mr. McLaurin did not common the encounter but only stood in 1 placo at bia desk; where he was spes ing and resisted the attack that v< m ado upon him. In other words 1 offense vas confined to the nee of t parliamentary language, for which had unusual, provocation. Neverti less, his offense was a violation of 1 rules of the Senate of so weriousa ch noter that in the opinion of the comm tee it should be condemned. * f*kn the case of Mr. Tillman, 1 record shows that- the altercation t commenced by the charge -ho mi against Mr. McLaurin. Such a chai is inexcusable, except in connection withe r?solution to investigate Hr. Tillman not only niado the charge without any avowal of a parp?se to in vestigate bat also disclaiming knowl edge of evidence to establish the of fence and this he said af ter the charge had been specifically and unqualifiedly denied by Mr. McLaurin. "Sucha charge, under any circum stances, would be resented by any man worthy to be a Senator; bat, made as it was in this instance, its offensiveness was greatly intensified. This feature of his offense, coupled with tho fact that he also commenced the encounter by quitting his seat some distance away from Mr. MoLaorin, and, rushing violently upon him, strack him in the face, makes the cause one of euch ex ceptional misbehavior that a majority of the committee are of the opinion that his offense was of much greater gravity than that of Mr. MoLaorin. "The penalty of'a censure by the Senate in the nature of things must vary in actual severity ia proportion to tko public sense of tho gravity of the offense of which the offender has been adjudged guilty. Therefore, notwith standing the fact that in the opinion of a majority of the committee there is a difference in the gravity of the of fences under consideration your com mittee aro of the opinion that public good and the dignity of the Senate will be alike best promoted and protected, so far as this particular case is con cerned, by imposing upon each Senaten by formal vote the censure of the Sen ate for the offense by him committed and therefore recommend the adoptioi of the resolution." * At the conclusion of the reading ol the majority report Mr. Bailey, o: Texas, offered the following statement as representing the views of himsel and four other Senators : "We dissent from so much of the re port of the committee as asserts th power of the Senate to suspend a Sen ator and thus deprive a State of it vote, and BO much as describes the of fences of the Senators as of difieren gravity; but we approve of the ros?la tien reported." The report of the minority of th committee then WBB read. In this statement the Senators sign ingitsay that while they accept th statement of the case as made in th principal report they do not agree wit the majority of the committee as to tb punishment proposed by the majority They then say : "The jonior Senator from Sont Carolina is guilty of onparliamontai language. The senior Senator froi Sooth Carolina ia guilty of phyaici violence. Neither in the statntea < any State orin the common opinion ? mankind are theae two offences tl same. The slightest form of puni el ment ia a reprimand or censure. It the latter which the majority propos* to inflict for two offences differing i character and gravity. The minorif of the committee are of the opinic that this punishment is inadequate, at that to ignore the difference betwe< the offences is unjust. The " minmi of the committee ia of the.opinion th suspension of the two offending Sen tors from their senatorial privilog heretofore inflicted should now bo io mally adjudged and continued for di ferent periods of time." . . The report concludes by reconimen ing that Senator McLaurin he suspen ed from his functions as a Senator f five days nnd that Senator Tillman 1 suspended for twenty days. Mr. Prit chard's addition to the abo statement is in the following lnngnao "1 concur in all the foregoing vic except as to the punishment of t Junior Senator from South Carolina, is my opinion that the punishment has already suffered is adequate to 1 offence. 1 make no recommendation to the punishment to be imposed on t senior Senator from Sooth Carolina.1 When the name of Mr. McLaurin Mississippi was reached in the roll cc he said : "Being related by kinship to one the Senators involved, 1 ask to be t cased from voting." ? The request was granted. Mr. McLaurin, of South Carolina, c of the offending Senators, said in i spouse to bia name, which had been : stored to the roll: "I refrain fn voting for obvious reasons." When Mr. Tillman's name was call he rose deliberately. Every eye in 1 chamber waa fixed upon him. Hie fi was stern and set aud he was pale a sheet. Evidently fae was laboring i der great emotion. "Amonggentlemen," said he, slo\ and hia words were heard distinctly the uttermost parts of tho chame "an apology for an offense commit under the heat of blood is usually c< sidercd sufficient." Then he resumed hia scat amid ga of astonishment among Senators c spectators. Mr. Burrows hastened to tho deal; the official stenographers and direc that Mr. Tillman's words be written at once. The resolution was adopted, 54 to As soon as tho vote was annean Mr, Barrows demanded that the ste ment of Mr. Tillman made during roll call be read to the Senate. Scai ly had the clerk concluded the read when Mr. Tillman, addressing president, said : "The words uttered by me were intended to be offensive and if t were so considered I very gladly wi draw them." As nr. burrows was about to addi tho Senate Mr. Teller said : "Tho Senator from South Caro! was not called to order by anybc I think we had better proceed." Mr. Barrows explained that he had no opportunity during tho r?ll to direct tho Senate's attention to Tillman's words. The chair (Mr. Fi said: "The Senator has withdrawn tho marka. Is there objection on the i of the Senate to their withdrawal?" "I object, Mr. President," insii Mr. Dietrich, (Rep.) of Nebraska. The effect of tho objection ie t< corporate Mr. Tillman's statemer ' the record of the proceedings.

From Our Oton Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3,1902. Sonator Frye's attempt to play the Czar i the Senate VT as a fizzle, thanks to the alted stand taken by the Democratic anators in favor of the OonsUtatlonal guts of a State, and agalnBt his nsurpa on of authority greater than ls possess? 1 by the Senate. Frye started ont brave 7 by ordering the names of Senators lllman and MOL.RU H n stricken from the ill, after tu?Senate bsd adopted a reso lUon dedaring them in con te na pt for av in g engaged in fisticuffs on tho floor f the Senate, but when the shadow of his zar-llko act loomed up before hi JU, and he Democrats lined up for a fight to a Inlsh, he lost his nerve, directed the lames of the two Senators restored to tho oil, and said he would leave the respon lblllty for deeldlng what should be done ? Ith them to the Senate, as he should lave done at first, and doubtless would lave done had he not listened to fool'ad rloe. There is really nothing like Tom Reed in Mr. Frye's make-up. Mr. Frye's lot in introducing a cloture rule In the 3enate, by reoognlzlng a Republican Sen ator while a Democratic Senator had the door, was another break caused by bad advice, whioh Democratlo Senators are not yet done with. The Democratic members of ?he Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections won a creditable victory In the Tlllman M cL.au rln case. The Republicans started out by talking of reporting a resolution for the expulsion of the two Senators, but the Democratic Senators put a quick stop to that by Btatlng that they would filibuster until the end of this Congress before they would allow such a r?solu* tlon to be adopted. Then tho Republi cans proposed that Tillman should be given the greater punishment. This also tho Democrats opposed, claiming, and quito rightly, that thc two Senators were equally guilty, and expressing their willingness to support a resolution to censure them alike, and they carried their polut. The majority does whatever lt pleases in the Houso, but the minority is still able to maintain Ita rights in the Senate. Gov, Taft, who is now repeating nia long story to the House Insular Commit* tee, denies in the most positive terms that the Filipinos are cowardly. The Maryland delegation in Congress' held a conference last week to talk over what should be done to bring the Sohley case before Congress. No conclusion, was reached. There was little difference of opinion as to what ought to be 'done, but the difficulty came in over what could be done. Mr. Roosevelt has allowed Repub oan Senators and Representatives to un? derstand that he will regard their partici pation in any movement to get Sohley's case before Congress aa a personal affront, and that seems to have ellenoed the most of them. Does the administration expect the nm? tlves ot the Danish West Indies to follow the example of the Filipinos and revolt ? It was seml-ofilolally announced last week that as soon as the Danish West In dies are formally turned over to the Uni ted States, in accordance with the treaty that hes been ratified by the Senate, American troops would ba sent to garri son the Islands. The advocates of civil service reform who are basing their expectation of a Presidential veto of the Permanent Can I sus Bureau bill, because of Its providing for a palpable dodge of the civil service law, on Mr. BooBevelt's record as a Civil Servios Commissioner, must have been asleep for several weeks. Even in the days when Mr. Roosevelt was a loud shouter for civil servicereform he always managed to keep on good terms with the machine spoilsmen, and he has contint 3d to do so since he became Prrnidnnt He will have to veto this bill before any con siderable number of persona In Wash ington will believe that ho has any suoh .intention. The bill ls bad enough to be vetoed. The only thing that would have made it an honest measure would have been to have preceded it by the repeal of the civil service law, but because it is bad enough to be vetoed is no good reason to wager that it will be. It will be some time before the stook of jokes In connection with Prince Henry's two visits to Washington aro exhausted. Probably a majority of '.hose |okes were manufactured for the occasion, but here's one that wasn't. Under instructions from Mr. Roosevelt the negro steward ot tho White Houso ordered a Bupply of a well-known German beer from a beer sa loon 1:coper on the Avenue, and as beer is not one of the regular beverages at the White Houso thore were neithor glasses nor stoics to drink it out of, HO the saloon keeper wes told to sond enough glasses along with tho beor for all the guoats to the Prince's banquet. He did HO, and nobody noticod until the glasses filled with beer were set in front of each guest that every ono of them was conspicuous ly marked : "Stolon from (tho name of the saloon keeper.) Tho official announcement at the War Department, based upon reports just re edit ed, that there aro now 452 garrisoned towns in tho Philippines tells a story that needs no comment to make plain. Republicans of the House knew their business when they labeled tho cauous held lost week a "conference." It waa called to consider the bill prepared by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee offering the Cubans a 20 per cent tariff concession if they wonld enact onr immigration laws, but ?he opposition Was so strong they did not dare take a vote. Booker Washington had a talk with Mr. Roosevelt laat week, bat he didn't get to Washington early enough to at tend the White House banqnet to Prince Henry,
