RECOVERY DOUBTFUL He is Suffering from Slight Progres siv Paralysis Due to a Leakage Of Blood in the Brain-The Crisis Ncar at Hand and Re 39ay Die at Any Time, 'A special dispatch to The News and Courier says Senator B. R. Till man is laying at the Belfour hotel in WashinZton in a dying condition suf -ring from paralysis and hardeing of the arteries leading to the heart. He may survive several days. if the paralysis can be checked and kept away from the brain, or he may suc samb at any hour. Physicians hold 'out no hope. Less than a week ago Senator Till man was apparently in his usua' health and attended to his every cay duties in the Senate. Almost his last oMcial act was to introduce a lesolution calling upon the Secretary of the Navy for Information as t the purchase of oil, which would 'yrobably have led to interesting de - velopments connected with the oper ztons of the Standard Oil Company A slight attack of dizziness on lac Wednesday was at first treated light ly, and little was thought of it un til Thursday afternoon, when he be came suddenly ill. During the nigh it was apparent that he was a dan gerously sick man. and at once tele grams were sent out to all memberaI ef the famliy. summoning them a1 once to Washington. Dr. Pickford. wbo was called in when Senator Tillman became ill. bad a conference with Dr. White. superintendent of St. Elizabeth's hos pital. Dr. White being one of the best known nerve spclalists in the Country. Dr. Babcock of Columbia was summoned and reached the Sen ator's bedside Saturday morning. The dispatch says it is recognized that the Senator is a dangerously 'I man and absolutely no hope is held out to the members of his family. Thoroughout the entire day members ofboth houses of Congress have been eeking information as to the Sen ator's - cendition. and so frequent wer -the telephone calls that very oarUy in the morning communication was cut off. Close friends of the family are giving out information to those who call, and at the Balfour many South Carolinians have left cards of sympathy during the day. Early Friday morning when the news of Senator Tillman's serious iness began to be scattered abort the Capital,, a pall settled every where. Knots of Senators gathered in different parts of the Senate chamber and discussed the cz se. while on the House side much- the same thing was done. House mem-1 bers who did not even have a speak ing acquaintance with Senator Till man. exspressed the greatest sympa ty for members of his family, as frequent inquiries as to his condi tion indicated. *-. Tiliman was the first to reach the Senator after he became IlL She .had only been here a short time when he became unconscious. During the day Senator Tillman has been able at time to articulate a lit te, but most of the day he has been laying in a stupor, taking no notic' of those around him. Now and then. however, as different friends and members of the family pressed his hand he would give a slight pressure in answer. indicating that he under sto' -'t could not reply. Condition Improves. Friday and night Dr. White enn luded his diagnosis of Senator Till man's case with Dr. Pickford. After a thorough examination it is now stated that the trouble besides the paralvais of the right side Is cere bral hemorrhage. The blood vessel which allowed blood 'to spill and frm a clot on the brai, it is now thought, been temporarily stopped and the Senator Is somewhat im proved over his ecndition earlier to the sIght, though he is still in a very precarious cond'ition. The latest bulletin issued stat". that for four or five days perhaps i9 cannot be said what the result iI be. ahould he .4urvive that long.

The Hat umet has arrived at Amand. Chile. and her captain said: When we sighted the wreck we put out our small boats, which close ly approached the stern of the Lima. where passengers and -rew had gath ered. We made a , inection be tween the two vessels with 500 fath oms of cable and were sucessful In lowering 105 persons into our small oats. and In getting them upon the Hatumet. "Heavy seas made the work of rescue perilous and finally the Lima's end of the cable slipped from her stern and became entangled in the rocks. Without the aid of the cable we could not reach the wreck. But for this accident all would have bten rescued. In the increasing seas our boats made futile efforts to reacL the wreck.

The Senate of South Carolina by a 'ote of 27 to 9 has tabled the res olution calling for the resignation of Dr. James W. Babcock. superin-! tendent of the State Hospital for th" Insane. and the board of regents. The vote came late Thursday after ioon, after the matter had been dis cussed pro and con for nearly thret legislative days. By the Senate's action Dr. Bab cock and the members of the board of regents are vindicated from the charges of mismanagement brought upon the floor of the Senate by those who favored the reIutiofn. It was a unconscious battle between the kdndness and humaneness of the ospital and the crying needs of that institution on the one hand against the conditions as pictured by the egislative committee supporting an indictment against those officials touching methods ia vogue at the ksylum on the other hand. That Dr. Babcock had given his whole soul to the wvrrk of the on ortunates of this State, that he had nade noble sacrifices in behalf of he inmates of the Asylum, that on nany occasions the needs of the njatitution had been poicted out by 2im and by others were contentious hat had their weight in the Senate. f the whole matter could be sum ned up in one sentence as ex laining the majority of the Senate's ,pinion it would read: "We are as much to blame as any %ne for the conditions at the Asy arm; then why blame Dr. Babcock ind the regents?" Of course, there was strong argu nent supporting the contention of 1e majority of the le.;islative com uittee, and the Senators favoring he resolution that the officials were esponsible for certain matters. Senator Clifton made a statement or the judiciary committee. He aid the committee did not consider hat the superintendent or the board regents had the administrative or xecutive ability to handle the in titution along business-like lines: bat the 'committee had no intention f bringing into the discussion ti :ersonal character of the superinten lent or the board of regents. I would not say anything to re- I lect on their worth and character, ut they were not of sufficient bus! aess ability to carry on the work. his is best shown by the conditions rsting.
