IS.-^The . * 1 0- Montana, was the first to take the loot, ihfi h» eontinued hla attacks on navy yards by reading a maga- Blne artlcle^jrhlclt crUlclsed very ’ saveroly the. Charleston navy yard. * He continued his strictures of the plan of having many navy yards on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Instead Of three or four great naval bases which, he Insisted, was the course "t that would be pursued by any great commercial establishment. He de- " • -dared thal mlHlona of dollars are annually wgsted by the scattering of the work through many navy yards. Senator Tillman taunted the Sena tor from Montana with being a "Sen ator from the Rocky Mountalus who has come here to tell us how to build * a -navy. "It Is." he continued, "easier to sit on a mountain peak out In Idaho and read magazine crit icisms of the navy than to run the navy." He declared that the maga- xlne article from which Mr. Dixon read was "full of H«t." "Whether or not It Is full of lies," replied Mr. Dixon, "Is Just what I am Endeavoring to find out." He re ferred to a statement in the maga- xlns to the effect that the Improve- " ments at Charleston, S. T?., yard, were advised by the feA, experts, buT when Mr. TUIman said this was not the case, he expressed himself as satisfied. Mr. Dixon. Insisted that the naval committee of the Senate waa com posed almost entirely of Senators have navy yards in their States, to fcnow -what would be the asylum investigation and the matters that will come before that commission. If is gathered, that wit nesses will be produced who will swear that they, while Inmates of the asylum for the liquor habit, were compelled to help the attendants, force soup and milk down the throats of pattlenU who would not eat, and that they saw, different men at dif ferent times, as many as two men positively klled by the liquid being forced down their windpipes. Another case which reads like the stories of old. Is of a man who could not be released, though there was really very little the matter with him .and he had been cured, because hts relatives would not sign for his release, though notified that he was entirely cured, and he was kept in the asylum until he went crazy In fact. There Is a great deal of talk to the effect that there will h® *n ef fort of white washing In the matter. It Is said by the patients who have been released that they have tried time and again to reach the ears of the authorities with their complaints, but that they often did not see the proper persons in months and month, -and then onlp on u hurried inspec tion in the wards, and that they have appealed to Dr- Babcock to give them a hearing. If an effort Is made to white wash the report there is going to be a fuss raised by those who have the affidavits and who do not like the turn that things have taken. Your correspondent has been Informed, however, that there will be no white wlishlng allowed WILL MEET IN MEMPHIS.

If the gag rulea remain dormant In the committee. It ii likely that Tillman will excoriate the president, as he has threatened to do several times since Mr. Roosevelt attempted to implicate the South Carolinian in Oregon land scandals. ‘Many of my warmest friends hsve urged me not to Jump on Rose- velt,” said Mr. TUIman this after noon, "and I am undecided whether I will expose him as he so richly de serves. I realize that the office of president of the United States is, and should be, above criticism, but no faker like Theodore Roosevelt should bei.lmmune. The office and the occupant are different. "It is a question In my mind whether I should humiliate the peo ple of this country by showing the mam In his true light. I have in formation about him that would shock the people of the country, but my friends tell me, and I believe that way myself, that the senate sub committee rebuked him severely tor bis attitude about the secret service.” It was suggested to the senator that perhaps he might be deprived of the right to criticise Mr. Roosevelt, If the rule proposed by Senator Lodge was adopted. "Just let ’em try It,” snapped the pltcfhorker. "That rule will never be adopted, I tell you, and If they try to put It through I wll make my speech about Roosevelt sure. I think I could add materially to the Interest of a filibuster against the rule, and I’ll do It, too, If any efcort Is made to pass It." Senator Tillman did not Indicate the nature of his Information about Theodore Roosevelt. Thirty Are Known to he Dead at Sivas and Others May be Dead in Rains—Many of Inhabitants Arc Now Without Shelter—Houses and Government Buildings Collapse. Constantinople, Feb. 16.—A num ber of houses and government build ings at Sivas, the capital of the, Vilayet of the same name In Asiatic Turkey, collapsed "today as a result <r ✓ . of an earthquake. The los of life has not been ascer tained, but reports say that thirty people have been killed and others In jured. Many of the inhabitants are with out shelter. Sivas has a population of about 6,000 families. W’hat damage was done In the surrounding country Is not yet known, as communication is poor. A dispatch from Rudopest says an earthquake shock lasting for ten seconds was felt today in the dis trict of Keeshemst, Nagy, Koros, Czegld and Feligyhaz. The inhabitants fled In terror to the country. The walls of a num ber of houses were cracked, but oth erwise no damage was wrought.

Mr. Tlllrakn returned to the sub Ject of the Charleston Navy Yard on whose advantages he elaborated '•You." he declared, pointing his finger at Mr. Dixon, "simply are prejudiced against the Southern yards add you want to get that out of your head." Mr. J)lxon replied that he was f Southern man, and had no such prejudices; so far as he knew Charleston might be the beet place for a great naval station. _ “If I am mistaken,” Mr. Tillman mm ‘ r mb ■ -7 replied, “then I bog the Senator's pardon. But there are some people who think nothing la good Jf it If In the*South. The President himself realises this condition and has In his sspeches appealed for a dlffer- •pt treatment for that section. Mr. TUIman declared that jthere was a "clique” Jn the navy depart ment who wanted to break up the Charleston Navy Yard. "I am not speaking In the Interest of any navy yard,’ said Mr. Dixon, “f am only In favor of construc tion.” “If I stood .Indicted In this article,” said Senator Dixon, referring to the magazine criticism, “I would answer It. I think that it is a matter of aolf-reepect that the Senate . and Congreaa and the administration should answer these charges, which are made openly. The people of the country believe these articles whether we do or not.” New Orleans, La., Feb. 15.—Adju tant General and Chief of Staff Wil liam E. Mikell has issued from the headquarters the following general order by command of Gen. Clement A. Evans, commander-in-chlef: “The general Commanding an nounces that, according to the cus tom heretofore in force, which leaves to the general commanding and the department commanders the fixing of the date of the reunion, the 19th annual reunion of the United Con federate veterans will be held In tl^e city of Memphis, Tenn., on June ^ 9 and 10, 1909, Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, respectively, those days having been named by our hosts as satisfactory.

New Orleans, La.—A sensation was created in the United States circuit court this afternoon w’hefh a grand Jhry returned Indlcfrtnents against the mayor and other promi nent citizens of Kenner, Jefferson Parish, charging them with “conspir ing and agreeing to arm themselves with pistols, guns, scissors and other weapons to Injure, /'oppress and threaten certain voters.” The Indicted men are: Mayor Paul Felix, Dave Meypr, John T. Fitzger ald^ Moxle Wildenstein and Frank Ha IK X- The Indictments grew out of the cutting.off 6f the* whiskers of E. A. O’Sullivan/ a prominent attorney of New Orleans, at the Keener Polls at the last nntional election. Mr. O'Sul livan Went to the polls for the avow ed purpose of giving legal advice to certain clients opposing the Felix Re gime.

Atlanta, Feb. 15.—Eight children, varying In age from 3 to 12 years, all from the same neighborhood In east Tennessee, are now at the Pasteur Institute UK Atlanta on account of one little' black and white spotted flee dog that went mad and ran amuck, last week. They were Join ed' at the institute Friday afternoon by WJnfleld ~ 8. Lewis, a farmer of the same neighborhood, who had been bitten by I5e same little ani mal. A whole countryside seems to have been ranged by the diminutive spreader of terror. The eight child ren who have t^een compelled to make the long trip tb save them selves from a horrible death, repre sent seven different families. The two little Stanberty children, whose pet the dog wa/, are the only ones of the group/who come from the same household. Their homes are scattered On the outskirts of the little corporation of Newport, Tenn. When the children were joined at the Pksteur Institute Friday after noop/by Winfield S. Lewis, a farmer whd lives six miles out from New- port, the eighth family of that com- biunlty had sent its representative. The children were all bitten last week, between February 3 and 6. Mr. Scott was bitten on Saturday. How many other' victims the little flee claimed before he was killed, has not developed. There may be as many others before the whole tale is told. Mr. Lewis is the last on the present record. The little brute entered the kitchen of the farm house, and Mr. Lewis, stooping to pet the visitor, was bitten In the fingers of ope hand. The^ dog es caped and was killed later In WI1- sonvifle. An examination of its head showed that it had rabies and the wholesale migration of a com munity of children followed. Bruce Stanberry. the father of two of them, is in charge of the party of yobng sters. Plum^lng^gup COLUMBIA.

Both vessels foundered. The total known loss of life was 30. 14 men from the sailing vessel and 16 from the Australia.

The steamer immediately set tled and sank within three minutes. The crew had just time to scram ble into the boats, during which time the boats became separated from each other. When the men in the captain's boat were about given up the steamer Liberia was sighted and she responded to' their frenzied sig nals. Captain Norman estimates the to tal number of victims at 46.
