THE TO CORRECTLY ANSWER QUESTIONS e el Civil Servite Commission Examines Patrolmen Who Are Desirous of Being Promoted to the Rank of Corporal. sSTRIPES AR . ” NE hundred and forty-seven po- licemen, whose ambition it is to K wear the chevrons of a corporal, took the civil service examina- tion in the Girls' High School yesterday afternoon. They struggled for five hours over questions set forth by the Civil Service Commission. Some of the interrogatories on the printed slip were almost as hard to answer as the un- answerable query: “Who struck Billy Patterson?” CraPPELLE SAas~r THooE To sy TE NEAR NG HiIn amm S ) spiee ” SukL!

The examination papers were three in number and contained questions in police procedure, arithmetic and making out of reports. They were distributed by Edwin F. Moran, chief examiner. The candidates for promotion were seated an long tables in the assembly hall of the Girls’ High School. Mr. Moran told the men what they had to do, and gave the signal to commence at 1:20 p. m. Before an hour had passed fingers were covered with ink, beads of perspiration stood out on fore. heads, and many wished they were pa- trolling their beats.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 28.—The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rallway has granted its conductors and trainmen important concessions, according to E. E. Clark and Patrick Morrissey, chiefs re- spectively of the Order of Rallway Con- ductors and the Order of Railway Train- men, and the fight that had been begun with the Santa Fe will, it is belicved, be carried to other systems. “lark and Morrissey passed through here to-day en route to Galesburg, I from Topeka, where they. held a confer- ence with the Santa Fe officials. Acting under instructions from the orders they represent they are directing a campaign for higher wages, and the concessions made by the Santa Fe are, they assert, the opening wedge for a fight for a gen. eral advance on all systems controlled by the two orders.

South Carolinans Who Had a Fight Are Severely Censured, el Great Crowd of Spectators Gathers to Listen to the Discussion Over the Disgraceful Encoun- ter in Washington, ¥ Me- WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Senat: Laurin and Tillman were to-day censured by the Benate for the sensa- tional personal encounter on the floor of the Senate last Saturday. The adoption of the resolution of. censure probably closes the incident, so far as McLaurin or the Senate is concerned. Tillman insulted the Senate to-day, but duickly withdrew his words. ‘When the Senate was called to order a notably large attendance of Senators was on the floor and the galleries were thronged. Both McLaurin and Tillman of South Carolina were in their seats. Great Interest was manifested by Senators and by spectators in the gallery in the read- ing of the journal, which contained the protest of Tillman against not being per- mitted to vote while under the ban of the Senate’'s order of contempt. Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, immediately .after the journal was ap- roved, addressed the chair, saying that v direction of the committee he was in- structed to make a report on the con- troversy arising out of the personal alter- ca?.lon on_the floor lof the Senate between Senator Millman and Senator McLaurin. By order of the Senate the subject had been referred to the Committee on Privi- leges and Elections, and the following resolution had been formulated by that | committee: i it 1s the judgment of the Senate that mf"fiinmr. from South Carolina, Benjamin R. Tillman and John L. McLaurin, for disor- derly behavior and flagrant violation of the rules of the Senate during the open session of the Senate, on the 22d day of February, deserve | the censure of the Senate and they are hereby | S0 censured for thelr breach of the privileges and dignity of this body; and from and after the adoption of this resolution the order ad- judging them fn contempt of the Senate shall | be no longer in force and effect. ¢ Report of the Majority. After the reading of the, resolution by the clerk Burrows presented the report of | {he majority of the committee, saying 1n | that connection it was understood that | | those members of the committee who did { not agree with the majority should have < opportunity to bresent their views. Me- | Comas of Maryland said he would sub- { mit the views of the minority. The re- | port of the majority was then read. The report presented the history of the alter- cation in the Senate and quoted the lan- guage then used by the Senators. All agreed to this statement. The report then | continued as follows: the conduct of the two Senators was an |n?r=‘::cmenz on the privileges of the Senate, a violation of its rules and derogatory to its high character, tending to bring the body itself into public contempt, cannot be questioned or denled. Indeed the Senate by unanimous vote has already placed.on record: | of the Semators by declaring” both gullty of contempt. The majority of the committee are of opinion that the legal effect of adjudging | these Senators in contempt of the Senate was | to suspend their functions as ators, and | that such a punishment for disoplerly behavior | was clearly within the power of the Senate, | but the conclusion they have reached makes it unnecessary to discuss this question. The offenses committed by the two Senators were not, in_the opinion of & majority of t mittee, of equal gravity. By 3 been before in the Senal | specifically denied In parliamentary languaj |'by Mr. McLaurin. The offense charged against Mr. McLaurin was among the most reprehen- sible a Senator could commit. He could not ignore it or fall to refute it and hope to be { longer respected as either a man or a Senator. Mr. McLaurin dld not commence the encounter, but only stood in his pl t his desk, where | he was speaking, and resisted the attack that was made upon him. In other words, his of- fense was confined to the use of unparitament- ary language, for which he had unusual provo- catlon, Nevertheless, his offense was a viola- tlon of the rules of the Senate of so serlous a character that in’the opinion of the committes it should be condemned. In the case of Mr. Tillman the record shows that the altercation was commenced by the charge made against Mr. McLaurin. Such a charge is inexcusable except In conhection with a resolution to investigate. Mr. Tillman not only made the charge without any avowal | of a purpose to. investigate, but also disclaim- ing knowledge of evidence to establish the offense and this he said after the charge had been_specifically and unqualifiedly denfed by Mr. McLaurin. The Offense of Tillman. Such a charge, under any circumstances, skould be resented by any man worthy to be a nator; but, made as it was, In this instance, its offensiveness was greatly intensified and the result must have been foreseen by Mr. Tillman if he took any thought, as he should, of the consequences of his statements. This' feature of his offense, coupled with the fact that he also commenced the encounter by quitting his seat some distance away from Mr. McLaurin, and, rushing violently upon him, struck him in the face, makes the case one of such ex- ceptional misbehavior that a majority of the committee are of opinion that this offense was of much greater gravity than that of Mr. Mc- Laurin. The penalty of a censure by the Senate in the nature of things must vary in actual se- verity in proportion to the public sense of the gravity of the offense, of Which the offender should be adjudged guilty. Therefore, notwith- standing the fact that in the opinlon of the majority of the committee there is a defense of the gravity of the offense under consideration, your committee Is of opinion that public good and the dignity of the Senate will alike be best promoted and protected, so far as this particu- Tar case is conecrned, by imposing upon each Senator by formal vofe the censure of the Sen- ate for the offense by him committed, and therefore recommend that adoption of the res- olutfon. At the conclusion of the reading of the majority report Balley offered the fol- lowing statement as representing the views of himself and four other Senators, as follows: We q{- nt from o much of the report of the committee as asserts the power of the Senate to suspend a Senator and thus deprive a State of its vote, and so much as describes the of- fenses of the Senators as of different gravity: but we approve the resolution reported. J. W. Bailey, E. E. Pettus, Joseph C. S. Blackburn, . Fred T. Dubols, Murphy J. Foster, members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. The report of the minority of the com- mittee was then read. This was pre- sented by McComas on behalf of himself and Beveridge, in which Pritchard con- curred, in part. #Gravity of the Crime. In this statement the Senators signihg it say that while they accept the state- ment of the case as made in the princi- pal report, thex do not agree with the majority of the committee as to the pun- ishment proposed by the majority. They then say: The junior Senator from South Carolina is gullty of unparliamentary langu The senior Senator from South Carolina s guilty of physical violence. Nelther in the stat- utes of any State nor In the common opinion of mankind are these two offenses the same. If the Senate is to retain the respect of the country it must retain its own self-respect. This cannot be done by lightly passing over the grave offense it has suffered. The lightest form of punishment is a reprimand or censure; it is the latter which the majority proposes to inflict for the two offenses differing in char- “acter and gravity. The minority of the com. mittee are of the opinion that this shment is inadequate and to ignore the difference be- tween the offenses is unjust. The minority of the committee are of opinion that suspension of the two offendjng Senators from their Sen. atorial prlvfl-’&i heretofore Inflicted should now be formally adjudged and continued for different periods of time. The minority report then enters u; an extended argument In support of. t’l?l.: condemnation 1 o) ition. The argument is based the second clause, N{th section. ot “ins N FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1902. POLICEMEN STRUGGLE MANFULLY Jlen of Affairs One may sail the seas and visit ev'fl'y land and everywhere will find; that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines, which cause ¢xcessive purgation and then leave the internal organs in a constipated conditlon. Syrup of Figs is not built on those Unes. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the Internal organs and leaves them in a healthy eondition. If in need of n laxdtive remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but ‘when anything moro than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan 18 to consult a competent physielan and not to resort to those medicines which claim to cure all manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co, was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; ® laxative which physiclans could sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. Insome places conslderable quantities of old-time catharties and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value and ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative prineiples of plants, known to aet most beneflelally on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the orginal method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effects one should always note the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. constitution, conferring upon each house of Congress power to punish its members for disorderly behavior. The report con- cludes by recommending that Senator McLaurin be suspended from his func- tions as a Senator for flve days, and that Senator Tillman be suspended for twen- ty-five days. They add: The objection that no punishment should de- prive a_soverelgn State of its votes in the Senate fails when we consider the rights of all the States, and, above all, the duty Senate to punish adequately a grave offense. Pritchard's addition to the above state- ment is In the following language: 1 concur in all the foregolng views except as to the pnishment of the junior Senator from South Carolina. It is my opinion that the punishment he has already suffered is ade- quate to his offense. I make no recommenda- tlon as_the punishment to be imposed on the senior Senator from South Carolina. Both Men Penitent. Bacon called attention to hwat he con- sidered an important omission in the nar- rative by the majority of the occurrences of last Saturday. There was no official record of the proceedings in the secret (exacutive) session, he sald, but some of the salient facts ought to be brought out. He sald that the senior Senator from South Carolina (Tillman) had expressed his desire, through the Senator from Ken- tucky (Blackburn), to make public ac- knowledgment of his error and to apolo- glze to the Senate. The junlor Senator from South Carolina (McLaurin) had ex- pressed the same desire through him (Ba- con). He deemed it important that the facts should be made a part of the record. Gallinger sald that under the Senate rules it was not competent to move a sub- stitdte minority for a majority report, otherwise he would move ta substitute the minority report for that of the majority, as he belleved the minority report recom- mended the precise kind of punishment that ought to be inflicted on the Senators involved. The minority report, he thought, properly differentiated between the de- grees of offense committed by the Sena- tors, In the circumstances he felt con- strained to vote for the resolution. When the name of McLaurin'of Mississippl was reached in the roll call he said: “‘Being related by kinship to one of the Senators involved, I ask to be excused from voting."” The request was granted. McLaurin of South Carolina, one of the offending Senators, said in response to his name, which had been restored to the roll: ‘I refrain from voting for obvious reasons.” “Among Gentlemen,” He Says. When Tillman's name was called he rose deliberately. Every eye In the cham- ber was fixed upon him. His face was stern and set and he was very pale. Evi- dlenuy he was laboring under great emo- tion. ‘‘Among gentlemen,” said he, slowly, and his words were heard distinctly in the uttermost parts of the chamber, “an apology for an offgnse committed under the heat of bloodlis usually constdered sufficient. Then he resumed his seat, amid gasps of astonishment among Senators and spectators. Burrows hastened to the desks of the official stenographers and directed that Tillman's words be written out at once. At the conclusion of the roll call, but before the announcement of the vote, Kean of New Jersey, who had voted for the resolution, addressed the president pro tem, saying: “Having heard the Senator from South Carolina (Tillman) again insult the Sen- ate, I chnnfe my vote from aye to no.” The resolution was adopted—54 to 12—the detalled vote being as follows: Ayes—Aldrich, Allison, Bacon, Balley, Bard, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Burrows, Carmack, Clark of Montana, Clay, Cockrell, Culberson, Cullom, Depew, Diilingham, Dolliver, Dubois, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Foster of Loulsi- ana, Frye, Gallinger, Gibson, Hansbrough, Harris, Hawley, Hoar, Kear e, Mc- Cumber, McEnery, McMillan, lory, Martin, a f Mitcheli, Money, 'Nelson, Patterson, Perkins, Pettus, Platt of Connecticut, Quarles, Rawlins, Simmons, Stewart, Tallaferro, Teller, Turncr, Vest, Warren, Wetmore—oi.

Burrows was about to address the Senate Teller said: “The Senator from South Carolina was not called to order by anybody. I think we had better proceed. Burrows explained that he had had no opportunity during the roll call to direct n‘;e Senate’s attention to Tillman's words. said: “The Senator has remarks.

The effect of the objection is to incorporate Tillman's words in’the record og the proceedings. Funston Recovers.
