The ehatnliertif the United States
Senate was the scene of a tist tight be
tween Senators MeLaurin and Tillman
on last Saturday. In the course of a
speech oh the Philippine question Sen
ator Tillman became involved in a
lively colloquy with Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, regarding the ratifica
tion of the
referred to
in his speech yesterday upon the P»rt j UidportksB of
taken by W r m. J. Bryan In securing 1
the ratification of the treaty. He
agreed with the Wisconsin senator
that the Influence of Mr. Bryan was
potent, hut insisted that even hi* In
fluence was not sufficient to induce tile
senate to ratify the treaty. After he
had done all that It was possible for
him to do, Mr. Tillman asserted, the
Republican* vet lacked voles c
to secure ratification.

Hhreddlng Corn.
Tiie modern method of harvesting
corn has not been generally adopted
yet in any portion of, the South.
Wasteful meth<Kls that have always
prevailed, arid are still practiced. The
blades are sometimes stripped from the
stalks by hand and cured for fodder,
but experience has shown that this
fodder does not pay for the labor of
gathering and curing. The ears are
snatched from the stalks, thrown in
small heaps, and afterwards a wagon
comes along and the ears picked up,
thrown Into the wagrth and hauled
away. The other half of the crop is
left tQ_brave the weather and be con
sumed by wind and rain; and if any
part of it remains when plowing time
