When the senate' met. today Mr. Tillman again asked for the postponement or his resolution for the investigation of t lie evict ion of Mrs. Minor Morris from the white house last winter.

Many of them were, he said, unduly prejudiced in favor ol the rr.llroadw, and were wholly until to be trusted with the power of passlrg on railroads quest bins. Hence he argued that there would be no great risk In preventing their Interference in such cases. "It Is utterl: absurd t show that the Judges are higher crea tures than other men," he said. Mr. Tillman cited eases Intended to show that some Judges are "not only not .Infallible, but not Incorruptible." The first of the references -was- to Judge Smith McPherson of Iowa, who was represented In mi aitic.e in the New York Woi-lH of the 30th or March last as having appeared at a banquet . . . . , , ti to Governor cummins ai uiumn Uluffs In such a condition ns" not to be' able to stand up without clinging to the tt.l.le." Mr. Carter defended Judge McPher son as a man of gieat learning and of probity of character. If in participating in the banquet he bad entered into the spirit of.

Commenting on these facts Mr. Tillman said that Mr, Jenkins had recently retired; "there- fr.re " he added, ''be can do no more devilment like this." "I believe it has come to be considered good law to issue injunctions against strikers," said Mr. Tllhnan, and added: "If it Is not the senator from Wiscon sin (Mr. Spooner) will correct." ' f The manner of this appeal t i him evi dently nneered Mr. Spooner. He rose and reDlied sharply, saying: "The senator from South Carolina forgets what Is decent when he chal lenges me in that way." Mr. Tillman Insisted upon withdraw big his question and apologizing, but Mr. Spooner remarked that he asked no apology. Upo i an apparently good natured command- to Mr. Spooner to sit down, Mr. Ti lman and the chair became involved in a spirited colloquy as to who had the floor. The decision (vvas favorable to Mr. Spooner, who re marked that in ordering him to take bis seat Mr. Tillman merely had ac centuated what he regarded as "a great piece of rudeness." After Mr. Tillman had offered an apology Mr. Spooner sat down with the statement that he did so of his own volition. v ', Mm Tillman mnlntainpri tbnt Mr Spooner had acted vry harshly to ward him and charged him practi cally with having been "indecent."

Venezuela's Insult to Co lombia Serious DIPLOMATS PUZZLED Mr. Russell, American Minister in Venezuela, Says Vice President Gomez Refused to Heceive Her rerra I'ntil Treaty Hud Recii Per fected, but Herrerra Was Sent for Thar Purpose. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, May 3. Columbia, and A'enezuela are worse estranged than ever before as a result of the' refusal of Vice President (lomez of Venezuela to receive Dr. Herrerra, tin; minister plenipotentiary, who went to Caracas three weeks ago to perfect a treaty with Venezuela for the settlement of the disputes between the two South Aim ili-aii governments concerning the navigation of rivers flowing' 'through the two countries, and concerning coin nieree- passing over the common boun daries. .. War is being freely talked in South American diplomatic circles. The Insult to- Colombia is regarded by some of the diplomats here as one she cannot well overlook, especially since this is the second time the Castro government has refused to receive a representativi of Colombia. Just a year ago I.in a Citballero went from Colombia, to ( a racas. There were repeated delays as to his reception, and finally the Vetie zuela 11 government refused to recog nize him officially. At that time Pres ident Custro insisted that Colombia had failed to expel 'Venezuelan-'' political refugees, but the excuse was not re garded as a valid one by Colombia. Later on an envoy from Colombia went to Venezuela, and last December protocols were signed for a resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries and for the framing of a tieuty settling the navigation anil frontier questions. In accordance with these protocols Dr. Herrerra was sent to-Caracas to perfect the treaty. Dis patches from Mr. Russell, the Ameri can minister in Venezuela, say that Vice President Gomez refused to re ceive Dr. Herrerra officially, and said ii would not be possible to do so until the treaty had been perfected. Lathi American diplomatists are amiss to know just how the Castro government expected the treaty to be perfected and signed if the Venezue lans refused to receive the man em powered to act for Colombia, and there is much discussion of the unusual situ ation.; .Mr. Meiidoza. the Colombian- minis ter, Is In New York, where he has been for several weeks, and the legation here has had no advices concerning the sudden break In what seemed to be the friendly relations between Colombia and Venezuela, it was through the good offices 'of -the .American minister, Mr. Russell, that the protocols looking to a settlement of all difficulties were flamed, and it is suggested here that w hat is termed "the slap at.

Developments Which Must Mean ''Great Things For Raleigh. i rectors Met In Philadelphia. Capt. J. M. Turner of the Raleigh and Charleston Railroad, Mr. John Skelton Williams, president or the road, and Mr. C. T. Williams of Rich mond are in Philadelphia attending a meeting of the directors of this railroad. The Richmond News-Leader of yesterday slates that Captain Turner had a conference there with Presi dent Williams "relative to the devel opment of the property" and adds, "If is understood that extensions are being planned both north and south for the road." While no official confirmation is given to the report yet there is a strong belief here that, the Raleigh and Charleston and the Raleigh and hoiitiiport (Mr. Mills' road) will and eventually become one system that perhaps at no distant date. The Raleigh and Sottthport. is being idly pushed on to Fayetteville rap- and within a month trains will he run- ning from Raleigh to the county seat of Cumberland. At the same tirue the Raleigh and Charleston former ly the Carolina and Northern, run ning from Marion, S. C to Lumber-"' Ion, N. C, is fo be extended north ; to Fayetteville, where it will meet i I he Raleigh and Sonthport. The I southern extension of the Raleigh i and Charleston from Marlon will, it j is presumed, as the name of the com i pany implies, be to Charleston, S. C. j When this work on the Raleigh and Charleston is done the union of the 1 Raleigh and Sottthport. and the Ra leigh and Charleston would give n line from Raleigh direct: to the South Carolina seaport. In any event this ; development must mean great things j for. the North Carolina capital city. : : i Thus far there is no reason to be- lieve that, the developments south of jhere have any financial connection I wit n tne Dig interests building the I great tidewater railroad from the coal fields through Virginia to the , coast and owning the railroads in ; eastern Carolina, namelv the Atlan tic and North Carolina, the Norfolk and Southern, the Suffolk and Caro lina and the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound.
