What Kyle Say, of Tillman A Sketch of Tillman' Speech-One of ihe Sensational Scene of Years in the Senate. Special to the News. Washington", May 2. There were few Senators in their seats yes terday when Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, at about two o'clock raised his pitch fork for the second time high in air. The press gallery was almost empty as were the other galleries, also. The tip came some how just about a moment before the bad Palmetto man arose that he was going to start up a new sensation, but nobody dreamed of the extent of it. Tillman sits at the extreme end of one of the back rows and so hd the whole space to himself between the seat and the wall. It was hard lv ten minutes before the Senate was filled to the brim in every part. After the whole thing was over I met Senator Kyle on his way to the cable csr and asked him what in his opinion was the secret of Mr. Till man's drawing power. He replied: "the element of justice in the man the element of justice- that sticks out all the way through?" Mr. Tillman broke through all senatorial courtesy in his attack upon brother senators called them John Sherman, Hill, John Carlisle and Cleveland in his attack upon each and all, and speaking of the THE COMMITTEE REPORTS IN FAVOR OF MARTIN. bloodshed in case of the continued LOCKH ART LOSES HIS SEAT. issuance of bonds. Hill followed in a reply, vigorous and cool and keen, I of an hour and a half, interrupted freouentlv bv J illman. and . the i passes were spicy and kept the fun going. Stewart and Allen also got mixed up in it, and at 5:30 one of the sensational scenes of many years had closed upon the combatants. W. E. C. DON'T MAKE THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Cuban Affairs Gvorge Mttthews an old Newspaper Man in Tronble Mr. Lock- hart Gue hut With a Record and the Re spect of All. Special to the News. Washington, May 5. When Congressman Linney yesterday re ceived a telegram from Winston say ing that George Mat his, an old Winston newspaper man, was about to be shot by the Spaniards, the name somehow got mixed and tlie newspaper men got it that Claude Matthews, the well known newspa per man of Charlotte, was about to pass in his checks. The telegram from Mr. Watson was as follows: "George Mathis has been caught by the Spaniards, and is under a charge the penalty for which is death. Try to save him." So Linney made a chase at once for the State Depart ment and was there for quite a time talking over the situation with Sec retary Olney. The Secretary said that there would be no hastv action by the Spanish authorities but that the whole matter would probably be straightened out in the next two or tbrpp wppVs. lKiter dpvplnnmpnts pnisndp nffpr trip Sonnip Viorl ml- I . , .1 , ., t ' "" nointprt to r.ne r.npnrv max t,nf ran. .i cj . r t u 1 i r - i juuiueu oeuaior vest,, v iiu lias ueeu Shr.w Wins his Contest Bad News for the People of This Congressional District Matthews Caught by the Spaniards, Special to the News.

Mr. ' v-ncr of the building is to - contract tor the work at Pb regarded, in the light of his iuflam atorv utterances, as somewhat svm pathetic with Tillman, said: "That business in the Senate today was disreptuable." "That was a nice circus!" was the exclamation of the man speaking with Senator Vest. Senator George said: "It was an entertaining debate;" Senator Haw ley seemed to take little stock in the spectacle. Aside from all opinions, however, the scene was highly sen sational and highly interesting, for Hill and Tillman are joined in bat tle.. Tillman started in normally on the battle-ship amendment of Gorman, saying in his opening sentence: "As far as I have observed, I would say that the navy was suffering more from red tape bureauocricy offi cial drv rot than anything else." He got to his real theme later, denounc ing the issuing of bonds as "hellish progress toward bankruptcy and universal ruin," and exclaimed: "Is there any law. which gives the Presi dent a right to do so by indirection what he cannot do by direction?" lillman then picked up Hills speech from his desk; Hill was not in his seat, but was quickly sum moned by friends and apj eared at the clock room door and entered somewhat white, walking around behind the South Carolinian and taking his seat within a few feet of his vicious antagonist Tillman continued, warming up, and walking up and down with all sorts of fantastic gestures indicating sarcastic sneer and vengefulness. He rallied Hill now and tnen, specially once when he spoke of the people as desperate. "That seems evident," retorted Hill from his seat, referring to Tillman. Hill gave lillman many a sharp blade like this now and then which only seemed to au ger him to more extreme statement He denounced Hill as a bitterer Re publican than Sherman and char acterized Sherman, Carlisle and Cleveland as a trinity that could, not be separatad. He twitted Hill in every way pointing his index finger at him saying with a demonical shriek al most: "I represent a state, and I can speak for what the state of South Carolina will do and that is more than you can do!" Tillman declared he would bolt the Democratic convention if a gold man were put up, adding, "I don't know where I'll go; not to Popu lism, however, for Populism is an explosion of disgruntled Democrats and Republicans at the rottenness of both!" "If there are any southern men who go there and do otherwise," he exclaimed, "they are liars before they go!" Inclosing he said, facing Hill and speaking directly to him: "I shall march under the banner of which is America for Americans! To hell with Britons and the Tories, and (pointing to Hill) if we cannot beat you in 1896, J serve notice on you that we will interest you in 1900!" And this statement he had prefaced with the threat of .repudiation or J sengers on board the Competitor had all been landed at Berracas before the vessel had been overhauled by the Spaniards. Mr.-Linney did not know whether Mathis was on hoard as a newspaper man Jor to join the Revolutionists. At any rate good newspaper men are scarce aiid we were all, thefore. glad to know that the light had not gone out from under George Mathis' bushel measure. -Elections Committee No. 2 yester day too s a vote on the Shaw and Lock hart cases. All but one voted to seat Shaw, and this one riually consented to file no minority report, so that Shaw goes in unanimously. Of course, his friends sent him many teleg'ms of congratulation to Fa ettevsi e, where he was called bv the illness of his child. TLi - committee voted to seat con testant Martin, the Populist who ran against Lockhart. Bailey, Denir-crat, may file a minority re port, but will wait first until he sees toe majority report. Mr. Lock hart 6 ands up to the rack without a flick- r and was out in front of the Metropolitan yesterday afternoon chatting with his friends as cordial ly as it nothing had happened. Mr. Lockhart has taken high rank here as a l .uyer of unusual ability and as a level-headed, common sense man of many warm social attrac tions. E very bod v regrets much to see him go, and even on the Commit tee, some of the Republican mem bers said they disliked to have to vote against a man for whom they had so high a regard. But Mr. Lockhart will make it interesting for the Populist statesman next time. W. E. C. Concerning the Weather. The weather is cloudy and threat ening along the immediate Atlantic coast districts from New England to North Carolina, but in all other sections clear wTeather prevails. Rain has fallen during the past 24 hours over southern Florida and along the immediate Virginia and North Carolina coasts. At 8 o'clock this morning rain was still falling at Norfolk and Hatteras. The weather is decidedly cooler over the Atlantic States from New England to North Carolina, and de cidedly warmer over the upper lake region; elsewhere the temperature conditions remain about the same as on yesterday morning. Local forecast for Charlotte and vicinity: Fiar tonight and Friday; becoming warmer Friday. Trying to Adjust Mattera With his Credi tors, New York, May 6.

Democratic County Conventions Almost Unanimous at the Rario of 16 to 1 Till mon s on Top. Columbia. S. C, May 5. Com paratively full reports received by the State from the Democratic coun ty conventions held vesterday indi cate that the State convention to be held here on the 20tb will be al most unanimous for silver, and will be dominated by Senator Tillman. This county, (Richland), Charles ton and Georgetown repudiated the idea of a bolt in case the 16 to 1 idea failed to carry at Chicago, but m several of the counties resolution were passed endorsing a bolt. Senator Irby, chairman of the State Democratic executive commit iee, carried his own countv (Lau rens) and will head an anti-bolting delegation from there. Execution of the Monarch of Murderers. Philadelphia, May 7. The 'monarch of murderers" if his many alleged "confessions" are to be be lieved, paid the penalty of at least one of his crimes in Mayamensing jail here today, He was best known io the world as H. II. Holmes and had inanv other aliases but his real name was Herman Webster Mudgett. A few days ago Holmes admitted to the prison officials that all of his "confessions" were more or less "faked" but however much he may have . exaggeiated he told enough truth to bear out his terrible repu tation, lie was bo-ji at Gillmanton, N. H.. May 16, lhbO. His parents are still living and they did their best to rear him properly, under the auspices of a Christian home and surrounded by elevating and refin ' ing influences. But he early gave signs of "smartness" aud a disposi tion to get "the best of it" when ever he could. He was a great reader and sharp at figures, and his education progressed so rapidly that he was able to teaoh school when he was 14 years old. His fondness for the fair sex, which has figured so largely in his extraordinary career of crime, manifested itself very ear ly. While a schoolboy he exper ienced several attacks of the tender passion, and at the age of 18 he be gan his wonderful matrimonial ex perience by marrying Clara A, Lov ering, a beautiful girl of Alton, N. H., whose parents were wealthy and kindly disposed towards their pre cocious son-in-law. His life, from the time he went to Ann Arbor university, on money furnished by his wife's indulgent parents, until his arrest and conviction here for the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel, was full of crime. The public, is familiar with the many stories founded upon his statements and the work of the police but it will never know how much or little of this wonderful story is true.
