BEGINS FIGHT gainst the Confirmation of ' Crum as Port Collector. TILLMAN THE LEADER And Ho Hopes to Prevent the Continuation < f Crum by the Sonute and Force President-Fleet aft to Select Some One Klse in IIin Stead. ^Yashington. Feb. 2.?The Senate s'j^U all of this afternoon in exexcutive session, and if the accounts that have leaked out are correct, Senator Tillman will probably g/tve tIn* Republican members of that body much trouble over the confirmation of VV. I). Crum, as collector for the port of Charleston, before the present session ends. According to what is said, the session was devoted not alone to the question of negroes, but also to usinesc ami Japanese, us.nators Hacon and McLaurin asr' sistod Senator Tillman by discussing at length the present day question of the treatment of Japanese in California, and this led into a still further discussion of the Chinese, .ill of which was brought out to help in the "P.llibuster" that Senator Tillman has inaugurated against ('rum. With the help of the two Senators named he was able to at least keep the matter down today, and it is understood that from this time on he will be assisted by practically all the Democrats in the Senate. Although he was called down by the application of the Senate rules, he was able to boat off Senator Frye ami others .who are clamoring for Cram's confirmation. The pitchfork was brandished considerably, it is said, and after several hours spent in an unsuccessful attempt to put Crum through, the executive session came to an end with Sonntnv Tillman so far the victor. There is not the least doubt now that a first class '"fillibuster" is on, and that if Senator Tilman does not overdo himself in the attempt to hold off Crum's nomination, he will eventually be usccessful. Today's developments have given hope to those who have been following the case that the matter will ^ go over, and that the efforts now being made to force Crum on the people of Charleston for another terb, will come to and end with the Roosevelt. administration. Kxecutive sessions are secret, and those Senators who take part in the deliberations generally decline to tell what takes place, but. those who were on the outside today are firmly convinced that Senator Tillman means business, and that if lie continues to like the negro, the Japanese and the Chinese question together in order to kill time he will eventually win out in the effort to defeat Crum. AN INCH OF 11AIN. The Weather Clerk Explains Wliat the Term Means. The rain fell in buckets, the 1 thunder racketed terribly, and the lightning drew zigzag lines of bright gold upon the violet sky. "So you, too, don't know what i an inch of jjain is exactly." said the weather c.>r!t, as he looked at the ' rain measuring instrument. Very ' few people do, it seems. I'll explain it to you. 1 "An acre is G,272.640 square inches. A.n inch of water on an 1 acre is therefore 6.272.64 0 cubic inches. That amount, at 227 cubic inches to the gallon, equals 23,000 gallons, of 220,000 pounds, or 100 tons. ( "An inch of rain is. in other s words, rain falling at the rate of I 100 tons to the acre."
