Washington, D. 6. (Special). One of tho
'meet sensational spoeohea heard la the
TJnlted Btates Senate slnoe the Civil War
was marie by Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, whoa he ofDsred a resolution cull
ing for a now Investigation of the Senate
sugar scandal. The resolution quotes the
Senate resolution of May 17, 1894, authoris
ing the original Inquiry, and then proceeds
' as follows: .
j "Whereas, The committee thoroln desig
nated in the pursuance of Its duties ex
amined several witnesses: and,
"Whereas, Several of these witnesses re
fused point blank to answer the questions
. put to them; and,
"Whereas, One of these witnesses, after
three years of legal contest Is now In
prison nndor sentence of the court for cqn
. tempt, said court having declared the
questions put to lilm pertinent; and,
"Whereas, 'Another of these witnesses
. was yesterday acquitted pn a technicality
which cannot shield him from the conse
quences of refusing to answer the ques
tions put to him, 11 the Senate will rouew
the Inquiry; and,
"Whereas, Withjn the last thirty days
, sundry .newspaper correspondents have
openly charged Senators with speculating
In sugar stocks while tho sugar schedule is
under 'disoussion, and also charge that
brokers In New York knew In advance as to
, what the Senate Finance Committee would
'. - report as tothesugarschodule, all of which
Involves a question of the highest privilege,
'. to wit: The right of the Beuate to protoct
Its membors from slander and to protect,
the body as a .whole from these open
charges of corruption; therefore be it
I "Xiesolved, That a committee of five bo
appointed with powers to send for persons
and papers, to employ a stenographer and
to administer oaths, to lnquiro into the
truth or falsehood of the charges made in
May, 1894, and Into the charges recently
mud a, and the scope of the investigation
shall cover everything embraced in tho
resolution of May 17, 1394, as to the meth
ods pursued by the American Sugar Jiofln
. Ing Company, better' known as the Sugar
Trust, in controlling legislation in Its favor
at the present time. And especially whether
It has in any wise contributed to or eon
trolled the elootioa of a Senator in this
body at any time."
Mr. Frye promptly ruled that the resolu
tion should go to tho, Committee on Con
tingent expenses.
But Mr. Tillman was hot to be stopped.
' He asked consent to make a statement on
- the rcsonltion, and this being granted, the
Souh Carolina Senator began a speech
which proved to be one of the most sensa
tional the Senate has heard In recent years.
Mr. Tillman spoke with his characteristic
vigor of voloe, which fairly rang through
the chamber and corridors, adding express
ive gestures to his utterances.
"We have arrived at a time," he declared,
"when the Senate can no longer afford to
rest under the damning accusations made
against Senators.
"If there are men here debauching the
Senate, then we should be purged of them.
If these reports are slanders, tb -n the press
galleries should be purged. We cannot
afford to lay back on our dignity any longer,
and say we will not investigate.
"Both parties are face to face with this
scandal. The former sugar Investigation
sought to learn whether members of tho
Finance Committee, thon Democrats, were
bought and sold like cattle. That investi
gation involved the President, the Sec
retary of the Treasury and the Finance
Committee."
i "Both parties are lnvolvod," exclaimed
the Senator, "and one is ns deep in the
mud as the other Is In the mire. You know
of the reports against certain members of
the old Finance Committee, and now we
have more damning accusations against
the present committee."
t If any man had been Influenced in the
manner charged, the Senator asserted, be
was no better than "the blackleg gambler
who had cards up his sleeve." Such a man
should be made to hang his head in shame
it his colleagues allowed him to remain In
tho Senate.
h Mr. Aldrlch was at once recognized, and
said:
"1 desire to say to the Senate, to the Sen
ator, and to every man in the United
States, that no person connected' with the
Sugar Trust, at any time or at any place.
Influenced the ' framing of the sugar
schedule or received information as to its
character. I desire to make the statement
as broad as the English language can
make It."
"And any man who says so, or Intimates
so," added Mr. Aldrich, "deserves to be de
nounced in a way which would not be par
liamentary here.'
. Without further debate the resolution was
referred to the Committee on Contingent
Expenses.

Vermont, Northern New York and Ontario,
on Thursday night.
The tremor began In New Hampshire at
10,30 p. m. and was last observed at Water
town, N. Y., at 30. Three (States and two
provinces of the Dominion of Canada are
included in the territory affected bv the
disturbance, which Dr. Daniel Draper says I
waa caused by the slipping of strata, due to "f
unequei contraction and expansion. The
course of the wave was from east to west,
and the Hues conVfcrged as they neared
Lake Ontario.
. It began in Coo; County, New Hamp
shire, and roiled wavelike through Ver- -rnout,
where It was felt in almost every
hamlet. - Burlington clocks were stopped
fcy tbe earth's ronton at 10.13 p m. The
duration of the wave is variously reported
by observers, who call it from ten seconds
. to half a minute. At first the motion was
like thejong sweeping roll of a wave at

A Head-End Collision Kills Nine Men and
Injures Eight Others Seriously.
A head-end collision between a freight
and a passengor train at American Falls,
Idaho, caused the death of nine men and
the serious injury of eight others, two of
whom will die. This Is, the worst wreck
that has occurred on the Short Line in
many years.
The westbound passenger train was wait
ing for the freight at American Falls, stand
ing in front ot tho station building. The
freight coming cast ran away on the hill
west of the Fails. It is thought that
the air brakes were tampered with. The
freight, running fifty miles an hour,
crashod into the passenger train. Two
men were on the station 'platform; one
was killed and the other fatally injured.
The station building was shattered. Both
engines were converted Into scrap-iron
and twenty freight cars piled up in a heap.
Several box-car passengers, sheep-shearers
and tramps were crushed to death.
Those killed are: C. W. Shields, aged
thirty-flve, home unknown; I). L.
Thompson, Dayton, Wash.; John R. Coop
er,' Wellsville, Utah; J. Steffen, Dillon,
Montana; .live unknown men, all sheep

HAVEMEYER COES FREE.
Did Mot Refuse to Answer a to Matters
Within His Knowledge.
Henry O. Havemeyor, President of the.
1200,000,000 Sugar Trust, was acquitted at
Washington of the charge of coutompt in
refusing to answer questions asked by a
pommlttee of the United States Senate.
The vindication of Mr. Havemeyor was the
result of a three days' struggle.
The end of tho trial was abrupt. The de
fence produced no witnesses. When the
Government rested its case the defence
moved that the court Instruct the jury
to order an acquittal on six grounds,
the principal one of which was that
the committee did not have jurisdiction,
and that the question was not pertinent.
The District-Attorney made a valiant at
tempt to induce the presiding Judge to
overrule the motion. But the Court, after
taking an hour and a half to weigh the ar
guments suttained the motion.
Although the verdict of "not guilty" was
given by the jury, It wasaverdiot returned
under the Court's direction and amounted
practically to the Judge's throwing the
jase out of court.
ASKED TO BE BURIED ALIVE.
Over Twenty-four Bodies of the Fanatical
Victim. Recovered In Ilut.la.
Details have been received from Odessa.
Bussla, of the self-immolation of a number
)t the fanatical followers of Itaskolnlkl.
Uore than twenty-four bodies of persons
who were burled alive have been recovered
Irom a series ot tilts near Tirespol. The
tect Is a survival of the old dissenters who
were persecuted in Kussia for two cen
turies. The result was that they became
lercely fanatical and invented a doctrine
)f solvation by martyrdom. They are now
practising self-immolation.
Six bodies were accidentally discovered
an the premises of Feodore Kovaleff, who
confessed that he had walled up in his cel
lar nine living persons, Including his wife
tod two young children. He further ad
mitted that be had buried .the other six,
while they were still alive, in a specially
txcavated pit eight feet deep. Kovalefl
leclares that all these were voluntary vlo
:ims. In an adjoining garden, belonging
;o Matvei Sukula, four bodies were dis
jovered In a pit. Sukula says that thee
were buried alive at their own request.

fSHINING LIGHT IN CONGRESS.
A Very Ilroad Man In PoliticsNot
Thought of as Being a Member of
Either Faction.
John Lowndes JIcLaurin was boru in
Marlboro county, May Oth, 1800. His
father's name was Thilip B. McLaurin.
He was a lawyer of marked ability, but
died at an early age, leaving the sub

years old and Margaret is now living in
Marlboro comity as Mrs. Crossland.
His mother was a daughter of Col. T.C.
Wcathorly, who was prominent in pub
lic life before the war. Ho was sherifl
of his county and represented it in the
General Assombiy for many years.
Whatever of political ability and taste
that Mr. McLaurin has is from this side
of the house, all of the Weatherlys be
ing successful politicians. Mr. Mc
Laurin's father while he was in politics
was elocted at the very early age of 22
to the General Assembly. He was just
old enough to be eligible. On this side
of the house there was marked intellec
tuality and culture; while they were in
politics, they did not ,cnre as much- for
them as for matters of an intellectual
character. Mr. MoLaurin's father was
a fine speaker.
His father died from ill noes contract
ed from exposure in the army in lStS4.
In 1HG7 his mother married Air. Wil
liam 8. Mowry, of Charleston, S. C.
Mr. Mowry was a very wealthy gentle
man and the family lived for. several
years in Marlboro county and thon
moved in 1873 to Englewood, '. J.,
where Mr. Mowry has since that time
been a very aucces.sful ificmber of the
cotton and stock exchange. Mr. and
Mrs. Mowry, and five half brothers and
sisters are now living at this place. All
Mr. McLanrin's half brothers are in
business in'New York city.
In those enrly days the school system
of Houth Carolina was so defective thai
"Johnnie and Tommie" were sent up
to the Bethel Military academy near
Warrenton, Va. Tommie died while
attending the school and John, the
new Senator of today, was then takou
on to Englewood and sent to school
there until he was 15 years of age. He
was then sent to Swartmore College
near Philadelphia. A Quaker school
didn't suit ardent South Carolina tem
perament and after two years Colonel
Weatherly, John's grandfather, con
cluded that a military school and a dis
ciplinarian like Col. John P. Thomas
were needed to properly train and hold
in check the promising young Caro
linian. He remained under Col.
Thomas in his school at Charlotte, N.
C, until he graduated in 18H0. John
was noted more as a baseball ist aud
boxer than as a student, though his
natural quickness and aptness enabled
him to stand well in his classes. He
then went to the University of Virginia
and took the law course and in
18H2 went to Bennettsville and began
the practice of law.
Although Mr. Mclaurin np to this
time bad given very little attention to
the realities of life and his future pros
jects, having been a wayward youth at
college insofar as respect for rules and
so on were concerned , when he began
the practice of law he decided to turn
oyer new leaf and make m name for
himself in his profession. He hung
out his shingle. Hoon an opiortunity
came along in the shape of cases
brought against thirty-two road
hands known since as the Hebron
road cases. It wss a kind of a feud in
the county. The prosecution employed
all the loading attorneys in the county,
including the present assistant attorney
feneral of South Carolina, ex-Judge
'ownsend. Mr. McLaurin was alone
for the defense and many had advised
the accused to plead guilty. After five
days of legal fighting, Mr. McLaurin
won in every case by appeals to the
jury, the law and evidence and preju
dice of the people being against him.
Judge Townsend was attracted to the
bright young lawyer and offered to
take him into partnership. This co
partnership was formed in 1SS3 and
continued until . Mr. MoLaurin's elec
tion to congress, the firm being recog
nized as one of tire strongest in that
section of the State.
On the luth ol February, 1SS3, Mr.
McLaurin married Miss Nora Breeden,
of Bennettsville, S, O., the daughter of
Mr. T. J. Breeden, and a niece of his
law partner. Judge Townsend, They
have six childien, four girls and two
boys. The marriage has been a most
happy and congenial one and Mr. Mc
Ltthrin retributes his success in law and
politics to the influence of his life part
ner. His friends will tell all that be
has never. taken an important step in
his life without consulting his wifo, and
ne has even discussed his law cases with
her.
Under the former regime in South
Carolina, Mr. McLaurin from almost
the time that he befan the practice ;f
law reix-lled against the existing politi
;al conditions. In is he ma le in his
eoimty a fiht such as Tillman led in
the State iu IS;). He was defeated oi.ly
by the greatest effort and by the combi
nation of all the opposing foroes. In
WM he was dooted to the 'legislature.
The General 4ssembly was composed
almost entirely of new men and con
tained Senator Irby, ex-Governor Ev
ans, Justice Gary, Judge Gary and
many other men who have since be
come prominent in State and national
auairs. In a very fow days Mr. Mc
Laurin made speech that developed
the fact that be was one, of the coming
fuotors in South Carolina politics. At
the second term of . the legislature At
torney General Pope- wos elected, asso
ciate justioe of the State Suprome Court
and Ernest Gary, Congressman Wilson,
1). A. Townsend and Mr. McLaurin
were candidates for attorney general to
succeed Justioe Pope. McLaurin had
an, easy victory, being elected on the
third ballot. He plunged at once into
the sea of litigation. The Cooaaw case
vim.rnliiig, involving a large sum and
the bank and railroad tax oases that
have since become so noted finally end
ing in the Supreme Court of the United
States. All of these cases were of the
utmost importance to the State. His
record as attorney general was good.
During the campaign of lt)!)3 Gov
' ernor Tillman was opposed by ex-Goy-ernor
John C. Sheppard. The main
light npon Tillman was made by Col.
Youmans, who was a candidate for Sec
retary of State, lit, wail a vory eloquent,
fluent and forcible speaker. There were
personal differences between Youmans
and Tillman, and Tillman refused to
debate or recognize him in the cam
paign at all, which threw the fight, so
far as Youmans was concerned, upon
McLaurin. Barely has such a debate
ever taken place in any campaign in
this State. It was of such a character
as to excite the keenest publio interest,
yet tho two men came out of it the best
of friends, personally. The result creat
ed Buch a wave, of publio favor for Mr.
McLaurin that when Mr. Btackhonse
died in June, 18U2, nothing could pre
vent the people of McLaurin 's district
from electing him to Congress in
November following.
" He was seated when theFifty-seoond
Congress convened in 1892, in the
month of December. Mr. MoLaurin's
fine utterances upon the. floor drew
great attention to him all over the
country. It was his remarkable eulogy
on his deceased predecessor. It was
unusual and drew many comments
from the press. He went baok to give
a sketch of the history of slavery in
the South, showing its influence in
the formation of the character of the
men of hid State. Then he proceeded
to connect it with this new Reform
movement with which Mr. Staokhouse
had had so much to do in launching.
He came to CongresB about the time
that Baily, Bryan, Sibley and others of
equal note made their entrance upon
the congressional stage and immediate
ly began to attract attention to himself
as a debater. His first light was on the
repeal of the purchasing olause of the
Sherman act. His speech was one of
the very first ' attack's upon- Grover
Cleveland's policy. " was sarcastic
and pungent aud claimed widespread
attention both at home and in the coun
try at large. Then, during the panic
of 18U3, when because of the scarcity of
monoy the banks had to form a clear
ing house association and issue certifi
cates in order to move the cotton crop,
Mr. McLaurin was the very first man
in either branch of Congress to see the
point and propose a remedy. He got
some of the certificates and went before
the banking and currenoy committee
with a proposition to issue $125,000,000
of United States notes, which were to
be deposited with the banks to take the
place of these certificates. He showed
that the law prohibited the retirement
of these notes below $84(1, 000, 000 and
that as a matter of fact they had been
retired far below this amount. He
made a strong fight against the imposi
tion of the 10 per cent, tax that the
treasury department proposed to place
upon these certificates. This speech
was very extensively printed in the pa
pers of the Wc;t and South.
Mr. McLaurin also took a prominent
part in the debates to repeal the 10 per
cent tax on State v banks. He made, a
number of other speeches on the finan
cial question, all of which have attract
ed attention. In the organization of
the Fifty-fourth Congress, Speaker
Beed placed Mr. McLaurin npton the
Ways and Means Committee. Since
that time he has devoted himself to the
study of the tariff question. In a speech
delivered on March 23d last he attract
ed the attention of the whole country
with his speech uixn the Dingley bill.
He boldly proclaimed the doctrine that
if a policy of protection was to obtain
that the South should have her share;
that all or nothing should be protected.
He ottered an ameudment in the oom
initteo room asking for a duty of 2 1-2
cents upon all cotton imported into the
United t tites. He was vigorously a -tacked
on the floor from all quarters,
but met every assault with that tact and
coolness and fully sustained his repu
tation as a debater. Then there was
his last speech advertising Columbia
and the Houth in a way as to attract the
notice of the entire country. Mr. Mo
laurin has been elected tin ice in hit)
district.
One of his admirers says of him: "He
is a very broad man in- politics. Dur
ing a factional fight there was no man
that fought harder, but as soon as the
battle ended he took the position that
he was a representative of the whole
people, aud that he did not have the
right to hold a Democrat responsible or
question his right to vote against him
la the primary election. He was the
first reform leader to come ont openly
and boldly in favor of peace and nnity.
At one time it seemed certain that the
leaders of his own faction would defeat
bim, but when they would get a man
out and McLaurin would go on the
stump, the first speech would dissipate
all opposition. Mr. MoLaurin's friends
and many of his enemies, politically,
also consider that he has done as much
if not more towards the breaking down
of factional lines in this Ktate as any
other man. In fact, Mr. McLaurin is
not thought of as being a member of
either faction. "
