McLaurin Tillman clash over caucus and loyalty in Senate
In a dramatic Senate session Senator Tillman urged fellow South Carolinian McLaurin to resign and “wash their dirty linen at home” amid a defiant defense of old Democratic ideals. McLaurin accused party leaders of cutting him from caucus and damaging his state, while Senator Jones denied ulterior motives in not inviting him to the caucus. The exchange highlighted a bitter intra party struggle and questions over vacancies in the South Carolina seats.

Carnegie Offers Ten Million for Washington University
Andrew Carnegie proposes a $10,000,000 endowment to establish in Washington a graduate university for higher education. The gift would be held in trust by the government as trustee, open only to post graduate study, and aimed at matching leaders in science with a world class institution surpassing Harvard and Yale in research. The plan, endorsed by Johns Hopkins Hadley Yale Eliot and others, would not require Congressional land. No site is set, endowment covers all uses, and construction would be extensive in scale.
