Washington, Feb. 21.—The Tillman McLaurin feud reached the most sen- satieiial possible climax in the United Slates senate Saturday aiternooi), when McLaurin passed the lie to h's colleague and Tilirnau, quick as a flaifn, jumped over intervening chairs and struck .McLaurin a stinging blow with his Lst.

The raiders did not hesitate to jeopardize life, as all the buildings were occupied by sleeping families. As it was. men, women and children were hurled out of their beds by the shocks and serious injuries in flicted. The lull extent of the dam age cannot be estimated. In this city the Davenport office was wrecked by two explosions, involving a loss of at least $1,200. At the same time the assay office of Yanderwalker, Morgan & Williams was rtated likewise. The loss was approximately as large as Da venport’s. One man, a miner, was se verely injured at the explosion at Wil liams’ office. He was passing at the moment of the explosion. Flying de bris struck him in the face, gashing his eyes, and the injury may result in to tal blindness. In Cripple Creek Benjamin’s assay Office, north of the Florence and Crip ple Creek depot, was blown up. In the town of Coldfield, about IVj miles north of here .almost simultaneously Boyce's office and another assayist es tablishment were wrecked. Boyce’s family occupied an adjoining room. Mrs. Boyce wa sblown out of bed, but escaped without seriouk injury. In •hie city the powder was placed under ’he building. The house :n which a "arriily lived next to the Williams as- -ay office here was much damaged and a woman was proslrated. Sheriff Ho!V ertson has called out his deputies and is taking ail means to discover if pos slide the perpetrators of the crimes.

Neither is entitled to a vote or to recognition until the senate decides their contempt purged. Their case has been referred to the commit tee on privileges and elections and the indications are they will hang there for some tiaxs to come. Both men entered formal apologies to the senate for their affiivn-Sj but that does not change their uta/ias, nor does it in dicate any change in feeling toward one another.

It all started over Tillman's bitter at tack upon the Republicans in hi* speech on the Philippines. He charg ed that the P.eiuiidirajvH had only been able to ratify the peace treaty by se curing the vote of a senator through improper influences. This led to a heated colloquy bAtenean Tillman and Spooner, the upshot of it being the charge that Mei jnmn had. through the potency of |»%)KM>p.gc, been won over by the Republicans, SENDS BULLET TO HIS HEART.
