Few fea tures of the spectacular were missing from the proceedings of the senate today. The Brownsville, affair was the subject of controversy and the day began with the announcement of a compromise resolution which brought both reDUblican and democrats senators together on the basis of or dering an Investigation of the facts of the affray, without bringing into question the authority of the presi dent to dismiss the negro troops. When "The harmony testimonials' were all In Senator Tillman took the floor and delivered a speech In reply to the recent criticism of himself by Senator Snootier. This speech began with a satirical picture of the senate and a "Minstrel Show", which Mr. Tillman later said was his first and last attempt to be "funny" an attempt which ft Its conclusion brought, a ' stinging 3eftUMWMWirfrom Senator Carmack In resentment of allusions to him. This was preceded by a ser ious reply from Senator Spooner on the attitude taken by Mr. Tillman on the race problem. Anally resulting in a session of nearly two hours behind closed doors. The secret session was followed by a brief open one in which Mr. Till man made a profuse apology to Mr. Carmack, to all senators whom he had brought Into his "first essay in the line of humor," and finally to the whole senate. "I very much regret that I ever undertook to be funny, and I will never do so any more." Senator Tillman in that portion of his speech containing the offensive remarks which he later withdrew, with an apology to the senate said: "The press had denominated him "The burnt cork artist of the senate" and he added that if he "were en titled to this appelatlon or that of 'Pitch-fork Ben' at one end of the minstrel line, certainly 'Fire Alarm Joe' (Senator Foraker) ought not to be Ignored at the other. We both do the Orlando and Furloso act admir ably." Senator Culberson was designated as performing a solo on the "Bones" in praise of the president: Senator Daniel was called 'The Brill hint and Courtly Senator from Virginia specialty Is oratory and urn. his rhetoric over-time.'
