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." ' 1

Creek Mines of the Birmingham Coal

access. The seventeen bodies were
taken from the mines this morning,
and the rooms and passages are clear
tonight. The mine itself is practically
uninjured.

tlie disaster, although Mine Inspectors
Millhous and Flynn hurried to
the scene to render what aid they
could and to make an inspection.
Officials of the company did not
know the exact number of men in
the mine at the time of the accident,
but they state tonight that 17 fatalities
will be the total.
