H. McGowan. Washington, June SO.?'Suffering what is believed to be a fatal attack ^ of icerebral hemorrhage, with lii3 M complete left side paralyzed. Senator H^-3-. R. Tillman, for almost the last < Quarter of a ^ent;?ry a member of j Hkthe senate from South Carolina, is lying at his apartments at the Ports| mouth in this city at the po-'nt of' death, his friends and physician V stated tcn.'sht. iSenator Tillman ' was at the Capitol on Thursday and left there at the close of business that day. He went to his apartments Cor the night and soon after reaching there complained of feeling ill. Dr. F. Pictkford, the Washington physici an. who aatended htm when he was paralysed several ,vears ago. was , called in and Friday the senator ex-' pressed a desire to go to the Capitol, ^ "but Mrs. Tillman persuaded him not W to do so an3 yesterday morning he -Jibecaine decidedly worse. It was determined not to make the matter public until today, when news- j . pape* men were advised as to his i, trn-* condition.

They have been told the ! ? worst and that they may not hope ?">f j a recovery. Senator Tillman's closes*; friends here tonight, those who have; "been with him in many of his hardest ; "political battles of the last 20 years,1 I frankly express the opinion that j there i *. bnt the slightest possibility of recovery, -with indicatons pointing! tc the senator's passing away within ; the next day or two. ||^^It will be remembered that about i or eight years ago. Senator Till|pr.an suffered a similar attack, al- \ thousrh not quite so sever as the | ^ present one. He was ill for a, long ^ time and took a trip abroad "before j TesTO!"1"''1? Vs official duties In the sen-1 ate. Since that time, although able ! to be in Washington, he has never been ?>e robust man he wss t>efore ^ the attac-k. 'Many times recently Sen:^??or Tillman has declared that he felt l^afe good as he tjvor felt In his Htrt in smte of the protest? of his Wfriends that h<* remain ort rf the race for the senate fo** another term, fc^-he cCareen; election coming ^R^the letter part o* August of This ^^vear, he recently announced himself I a candidate again, although fhe seated many times that he would not be able to make a campaign over the State. Politicians Talk of Outcome. k'w^'BFhen the news of Senator Till I condition "became known In Iington today, there was an unt amount of speculation as to th<* outcome of the senatorial SliSiflp7*n South Carolina would ;be. It |st?.t?d that e^en should Senator mrn live until the date of the elec, which is extremely improbable. . he would in all probability ren a hooQless paralytic the remaind tf his Iifo, wl*i?h would of course TILLMAN lATH'S DOOR na Senator Suffers / r >?Whole Left red Useless take him out of the senatorial race. That leaves X. B. Dial, J. F. Rice and C. L. Blease to continue the fight unless something extraordinary should : occur,. Representative Lever, it wil! be remembered, was in the race, but withdrew, upon the urgent request of the president, that he do so and offer again for the house so that he might j remain chairman of the imDortant * house committee on agriculture.
