Washington, Feb. 24.—Both Sena- tor McLaurin and Senator Tillman decline to make any statements bear- ing on their trouble in the senate Saturday, which culminated in a fist fight in which blood was drawn from Mr. Tillman; The senate is not apt to remove quickly the condition of contempt in which it has placed the two South Carolinans. Senator Burrows, chair- man of the committee of election and privileges, declines to make a formal statement, but unofficially intimated that for thirty days neither senator would be permitted to address the senate, Mr, Tillman's insinuation that his colleague had been bribed by the promise of the administration to have the distribution of federal patronage in the state in return for his vote to ratify the Paris treaty caused the outbreak, Mr, MeLaurin was called statement was made and pronounced Mr, Tillman's statement “a willful, malicious, deliberate lie” Mr, ‘Till- man immediately leaped over some desks and strock at) Mr, MeLaurin, who advanced to meet him.

Whit- field began an energetic investiga- tion. Soon after he found in his mail box a large cartridge, wrapped with paper. On the latter was a rough drawn sketch of a coffin and the in- cription: “A word to the wise is suf- ficient.” Later the county authori- ties learned that John Rush, aneigh- bor of Whitfield’s, had lost 19 tur- keys; Crowford King, 17 turkeys; J. H. Dysart, four bushels’ of apples; Jeff Stone, a lot of coon skins and other numerous articles ranging from barb wire fencing to hymn books. A special grand jury indicted P. B. Bris- well and Rufus and George Coffman, allfarmers. They were brought in- to court yesterday to answer indict- ments charging burglary and lar- ceny. The men had always. born good reputations. The robberies had been going on for a year, and the depredations had become so frequent as to make life in- tolerable to the farmers, yet they were afraid to take any concerted ac- tion against the suspected parties be- cause of alleged threats of personal violence. The defendants have been bound over in the sum of $1,000 each. Bucklen’s,Arnica Salve. The best and most famous com pound in the world to conquer aches and kill pains.
