representatives of President Roose
velt, the army, the navy and the city
of New York, and a great crowd lined

Tbe great storm against which the
Kronprlnz Wilhelm had struggled for
days, and which had glazed the At

its force and resigned Its way Xo warm

6outh Carolina Senators Were Not
Permitted to Vote, Which Caused
Sharp Debate McComas and Wel
lington Had Lively Tilt
Washington, Feb. 25. After eight
hours of tumultuous debate yesterday
the senate shortly before 7 o'clock last
evening passed tho Philippine tar ill
bill by a vote of 44 to 26, a strictly
party vote. Mr. Tillman and Mr. Me
Laurln, the two senators from South
Carolina, who on Saturday last were
declared by the senate to be In .con
tempt because of their fist fight In the
chamber. In which Mr. Tillman at
tacked Mr. McLaurln for denouncing
an assertion of his as a deliberate He.
were not permitted by voice or vote
to participate in the proceedings.
Tbe question as to their right to
vote precipitated a sharp debate last
ing nearly two hours. Mr. Turner
(Dem.), of, Washington, contended
vigorously for the right of the two
senators to cast their votes, and be
was sustained by Mr. Patterson, of
Colorado; Mr. Bailey, of Texas, and
other Democrats. They held that
even though the two senators actually
were under arrest and in the custody
of the sergeant-at-arms they could de
mand that they be allowed to vote, at
the senate had not passed on thcli
case.
Mr. Foraker, Mr. Aldrlch and other
Republicans held that the senator!
clearly could not participate In any
of the proceedings of the senate until
they had purged themselves of con
tempt and the senate had removed the
ban placed on them. President Pre
Tern. Frye held that the two senators
could not vote, and he was sustained
by a majority of the senate.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill Mr. McComas and Mr. Wellington,
of Maryland, became involved in a
controversy. Mr. McComas said Mr,
Wellington had said that he (Welling
ton) had been given assurance by
President McKlnley that the United
States did not propose to hold the
Philippines as colonies. He referred
to Mr. Wellington's desertion from the
Republican party, but was interrupted
by Mr. Wellington: "I object" said
the latter, "to my colleague's word!
concerning my desertion from the Re
publican party."
Mr. McComas said he accepted the
objection and continued. He said he
had been present at the conference
between the president and Mr. Wel
lington, and he denied emphatically
that the president's promise had not
been kept. It was absurd in his col
league, he asserted, for him to make
such a charge. He regretted, he said
sarcastically, that Mr. Wellington had
forgotten the details of the confer
ence.
Mr. ' Wellington answered with de
liberation and emphasis: "I will say
this. If my colleague at any time will
reiterate outside of the chamber what
be has said in this chamber, then 1
will tell him that he is not correct,
and tell him what I will not say in
this chamber, because of senatorial
dignity,- because of parliamentary
rules, that he utters a cowardly and
malicious falsehood."
President Pro Tom. Frye ordered
Mr. Wellington to take his seat. The
Maryland senator complied.
Many amendments were offered tc
the Philippine bill, but except those
offered by the committee, only one, an
amendment restricting the operation
of the sedition laws enacted by the
Taft commission, was passed.
Atlantic City's License Bill.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 25. The senate
committee on revision of the law gave
a hearing yesterday afternoon on
Senator Lee's Atlantic City license
bill. The bill gives to the local author
ities in that city full control of the
punishing of those who sell drink on
Sundays. Over 100 ministers were at
the hearing to protest against the
measure. Among the speakers were
Rev. J. M. Marshall, of Camden, and
Rev. A. W. Wlshart, of Trenton. The
committee did not reach any conclu
sion as to the reporting ot the bill.
