yy THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1890 SSO SSS rr ND BATTLE OF THE GIANTS. Phe Exciting Contest in the Hoase Yes- terday. ‘THE TWO POLITICAL ARMIES ARRAYED—REED AND CRISP THE PROMINENT FIGURES IN THE GREAT CONTENTION—THEIN POSITIONS AS STATED BY ‘THEMSELVES—STRIKING INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. ‘The contest in the House yesterday was not @nded at the adjournment. The fighting was resumed again this morning and nobody knows Just when it will end, thongh there is no doubt as to the outcome finally. The excite- ment during the tumult and shouting when Mr. Reed first sprung; his coup d'etat, when a hun- dred members raised and often repeated cheers, like men rushing into battle,the excite- ‘ment was not as intense or the scene as im- pressive as when the quiet of deep earnestness settled down and the real fighting began. During the delivery of Mr. Crisp’s Protest every member sat in si- Jence with his nerves at highest tension. Democrats with their lips compressed and trembling with surpressed excitement listened with intense interest to the impassioned appeal of their new leader, But two men in the ball appeared calm and _self-possessed, and these two were they who felt most intensely the seriousness of the situation, They were Reed, in the chair, standing like a giant, the embodiment of power and determination, look- ing down upon the House as one who would with a single blow strike down opposition, and Crisp, on the floor, aman of almost as great physicial proportions, calm, deeply in earnest, Swelling within himself to twice his normal size. contending with almost irresistible force against his immovable antagonist. The battle Was between these two strong men. The rest of the House were the excited lookers on. THE TWO CHAMPIONS. Occasionally some democrat hurled a hand Brenade at the Speaker, but the only blows he ‘was conscious of were those dealt him by the Georgia giant and he took those on dis sconce almost without wincing. With the rest of the House in a tumult or caimed by over excite- ment, those two champions kept up the form of honorable combat, politely pounding at each others heads, and Reed was the first to ery foul, The only time throughout the struggle that Reed showed a disposition to shrink from the Georgian’s blows was when the latter turned from the direct attack and sought to show the motive which led Mr. Reed to his course. Then, without waiting for a member on the floor to call order, Mr. Reed commanded his antagonist to keep to the direct attack. ‘Then McKinley, the republican ieader on the floor, appealed to the House to let the gentle- man from Georgia proceed in his own way. This was something of a rebuke to the ng r and members hastened to turn it from him to themselves by taking the responsibility for the Point of ord. On the very start of Mr. Crisp’s defense of his party an attempt was made to silence him. The Speaker recognized Mr. Payson to move to lay the appeal from the decision of the Speaker on the table and to cut off debate b fore the democrats had made any defense. Then Mr. Butterworth arose to the defense of fair play. hope,” he said, “the gentleman from Illinois will withdraw his motion. This is an important question and gentlemen on the | other side have a right to be heard.” It was in | Fespect to this appeal that Mr. Crisp was p mitted to enter his protest. This and the sub- sequent action of Mr. McKinley were two of the most striking incidents ‘in the contest, showing that these men did not lose their love of fair play in the heat of contest. SPEAKER REED STATES HIS CASE. Mr. Reed, after the first tumult had subsided after his ruling, stated his case. He said: “The clerk has announced of members voting 161 yeas, 2 nays. The chair thereupon, having seen the members present, having heard their names called in their presence, has directed a record to be made of this fact. Accordingly, that question is now before the House, and the chair proposes to give a statement, accompa- nien by a ruling, from which an appeal can be to his attention. During the deadlock on the force bill, after repeated calls of the House and efforts to get a quorum recorded as voting. Mr. Dorman rose to a parliamentary inquiry, ask- ing if the declared vote was the only means by which a quorum can be determined when it is within the cognizance of every man here, the Speaker included, that there is within the hall a sufficient number of members who have voted to make a quorum. Mr. Crisp then quoted Speaker Blaine’s de- cision. as follows: “The Speaker (Mr. Blaine)—The Speaker would be glad to hear from the gentleman from lowa (Mr. Donnan) any practicable mode in which his point can be enforced. Mr. Donnan—Is it not within the power of the Speaker, he having cognizance of the fact, to de- clare that a quorum is present? ‘The Speaker—But the Speaker's declaration will not make members answer “ay” or “no.” Mr. Randall—I move acall of the House. ‘The Speaker—If any gentieman raises the ques- tion that business is proceeding without the pres ence of a quorum itis within the competence of the Chair to decide that a quorum is present and he will not allow the business of the House to be interrupted by any dilatory proceeding. He as sumes the responsibility for that purpose of de- claring that @ quorum is present, because no business can proceed without. quorum. Even @ gentleman speaking is en- titled to havea quorum present If the point be raised, 4 gentleman addressing the Chair may be taken off the floor by any member raising the point that no quorum is present. The question be- ing 80 raised, the Chair, according to his judgment and on his responsibility, can rule that @ quorum ispresent. But when the roll call is resorted to, that is the last mode of certification, from which there is no appeal. Now, that the rules absolutely require gentlemen to vote is undeniable; but how the gentleman from Missouri, on whom the point has been made,can be compelled to stand up and pronounce ‘his vote ‘ay’ or ‘no’ the Chair does not know.” DECLARED IT REVOLUTIONARY. Proceeding, Mr. Crisp declared that the House was invited now to pursue the course which Mr. Blaine had declared to be revolu- tionary. The democrats stood on their con- stitutional right to have the yeas and nays entered on the journal, and when that right was exercised there could be no appeal from what the journal said as to who were present and voting by yeas and nays. He quoted Mr. Garfield as denouncing a similar rule, when it was proposed in his time,and as asking the ques- tions, “Who was to control the seeing of the speaker?” and “How do we know but that the speaker may see forty members (for his own purpose) more than there are in the Ho «We have lived,” said Mr. Crisp, “through a great civil war, when there was excitement al- most unparalleled in the history of parlia- mentary action, yet, during all these years no man on this floor, no party, has ever before thought it necessary to introduce a rule which would give the power of declaring the pres- ence of members by the single voice of one {Applause on the democratic side.] Crisp then quoted from the remarks of Mr. Reed (the present Speaker) in the same debate, when he used these words: “The con- stitutional idea of a quorum is not the physi- cal presence of a ma of the members of the House, but a majority of the members resent and participating in the business of the | ong {Cheers and clapping of hands on the democratic side and in the galleries} “appeal ( Mr. Crisp exclaimed) from Philip Drunk to Philip Sober.” [Another outburst of applause.) AN INTERRUPTIO! Mr. Crisp went on with his argument, and ater. Mr. Rowell asked Mr. Crisp what special rule was necessary in the consideration of an election case, Mr. Crisp was about to answer when the Speaker interrupted him and sug- gested that he should contine bimself to the subjecg Several republicans made similar ob- jecton. Mr. MeKinley appealed for a with- drawal of the objections, but when they were withdrawn by some members they were re- newed by others and the Speaker again sug- gested that Mr. Crisp proceed in order, The Speaker said: “The gentleman is pro- ceeding outside of the question of appeal. ‘The chair has no personal interest in what he+says outside of the question and has hardly any per- soual interest in what he says on the question, MR. CANNON’S REPLY, Mr. Cannon replied to Mr. Crisp. His observation, he said, had been that as the taken if any gentleman is dissatistied there- with.” Mr. Crisp (Ga.)—“In advance I enter an ap- peal.” [Laughter.} “The 3 er, continuing, said that for some considerable time a question of this nature had been raised in very many parliamentary assem- bles, ard there has been a great deal of doubt, especially in this body, on this su! ferred to various precedents. One of the first places,” he said, “where the question had been raised was the senate of the state of New York. The resent governor of New York had been the presiding officer, and upon him had devolved a duty similar to that which had now devolved upon the Speaker. He had met that duty in precisely the same manner.’ He referred to the struggle over the registra- tion bill in the Tennessee legislature in 18% On the third reading the republicans had re- fused to vote, whereupon the Speaker, a mem- ber of the other party, had directed the clerk to count as present those not voting. and had declared the bill as passed on that reading. ‘These two decisions (the first made in 1843 and the other in 1885) seemed, Mr. Reed thought, to cover the ground; but there was an entirely familiar process which every old member would recognize whereby the opinion of the chair is incontestible evidence of the recogni- tion at all times of the right to record mem- bers —— as constituting a part of a quorum. “The count by the chair and the count by tellers and the count by yeas and nays,” the Speaker said, ‘were of equal value. The House had a right on a call of one-fifth of the mem- bers to have a yea and nay vote, and then on that the question was decided, but the decision in each of the other cases was of precisely the same value. It had always been the practice in parliamentary bodies of this character, and es- pecially in the parliament of Great Britain, for the speaker to determine the question if there ‘Was or was not 4 quorum present by count. It ‘was because that was a determination of actual fact, and the determining of that was en- trusted to the presiding officer in almost ail in- stances. So that when the question was raised whether there was a quorum or not, without a special arrangement for determining it, it Would be determined by count by the presid- ing officer. Again, there was a provision in the Constitution which declared that the House might establish rules for compelling the at- tendance of members. If members could be Present and refuse to exercise their functions, and yet not be counted as a quorum, that pro- Vision would seem to be entirely nugatory.” He then read Gov. Hill's decision when presid- ing officer of the New York senate. He then ruled that's quorum was present and Mr. Crisp appealed” Then the attempt was made to prevent the Georgian from talking. and then it was that Butterworth raised his Voice for fair play. ‘MR. CRISP’S APPEAL, Mr. Crisp said he desired to call attention to the rulings on the same question of distin- guished gentlemen who have occupied the Speaker's chair and to read the opinions of dis- tinguished members of the majority party on the same question, so that republicans might Understaad th .t when they vote to sustain the ruling ¢: the chair they will not only overturn the un‘ iterrupted practice of one hundred Fears in this House but will vote directiy in Opposition to the views of many of their most distinguished leadera, This, he said, wae the first time in the hi tory years rolled round and as times changed new remedies and reasonabie remedies had to be found under the Constitution for difficulties and evils that had been tolerated for years, if those remedies did not violate the letter or spirit of the Constitution. He recapitulated the leading points of the pending question in the House and declared that the presence of the members not voting, but counted by the chair, consti- tuted more than a quorum. If by the Constitution there was a quorum present the country would sustain the House of Representatives in going on and legislating. (Applause on the republican side), Did the Constitution say that a majority should be required to vote for a measure. a motion or a resolution in order to pass it? Not atall, It merely said that a majority of each house should constitute a quorum to do busi- ness. He had no recollection (during his serv- ice in the House) of such a question being raised and decided and the decision appealed from, but able democratic members, Mr. Ran- dolph Tucker (Va.) and others, had taken the position in tue debate in the Forty-sixth Con- gress which the Speaker took today. His colleague (Mr. Springer) had argued in the same line. “Mr. Cannon laid down the proposition, in conclusion, that by general parliamentary law and under the Constitution when quorum is present. and when that fact is ascertained, and when there is a majority voting in favor of a measure that measure 1s adopted. He believed that good morals, good Constitution, good law, good sound public common sense and decency all demanded of the Speaker (when he an- nounced the fact of the presence of over fifty members, more than a quorum, and called their names) to declare the result of the vote as adopted by a majority of the House, ME. CARLISLE’S ARGUMENT, HE OBJECTS TO SECRET WORK. Senator Chandler Before the Naval Court of Inquiry. WHAT HE KNOWS OF NAVAL ORGANIZATIONS NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE DEPARTMENT—WHAT HE DOES AND DOES NOT OBJECT TO—SECRET METH- ODS ANNOYING TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. Contrary to the general expectation, and, indeed, to the program of the court itself when it closed its doors yesterday morning, the naval court of inquiry did not wind up its affairs last night, but convened this morning as usual at 10 o'clock and continued the taking of testimony. It seems that the court reconsidered its first decision to call the cor- respondence between it and Senator Chandler a “stand-off,” and upon going over the ques- tion very carefully in secret session yesterday afternoon decided to call the Senator tothe stand in order to give him an opportunity to tell all he knows, so that it cannot be said that any stone was left unturnedto get at the bottom facts, SENATOR CHANDLER SWORN. The court met a very few minutes after 10 and a new recorder, a temporary substitute, was sworn. The Senator, after shaking hands with the members 0! \*e court, was placed under oath, and Commoceze Greer explained that the court had been following the precept of the Secretary, which fixed the scope of the investigation to the period since the date of the resolution. The Senator, reading the Secre- tary’s letter of instructions to the court, which was handed to him, observed that it was dated January 20, and HE WANTED TO KNOW why the court in its strict construction had not limited its scope to what might exist since that date. His remark was not calculated to elicit much information, and «fter a few unimport- ant attempts at explanation on both sides the examination was proceeded with. “The court would be pleased, Senator, to have you state all you know concerning formal organizations among naval officérs not author- ized by the Navy department and for purposes not merely literary or scientific,” said the judge advocate, WHAT THE SENATOR KNOWS ABOUT IT. “The first knowledge I had of such an organi- zation,” answered the Senator, ‘was when Mr. Richard T, Merrick called on me and informed me that an association existed among the line | officers of the navy. ‘This was in April, 1882, soon after I became Secretary of the Nav: wanted to notify me that he was then and had been for a long time the regularly retained counsel of the organization for the purpose of advising the line officers as to. their interests, I told him that I did not consider that such an organization was an injudicious one. When the question of the revision of the naval regu- lations—about_ six. months —_later—was under consideration there were some matters olving contesting —_intereste of the line and staff. Mr. Merrick presented to me a written argument, and later on I heard an argument from Hon. George 8. Boutwell on behalf of the staff. I then said that I thought such movements among naval officers unmilitary and the employment of counsel anomalous, I waived those objections, however, for the purpose of admitting these arguments. Some time later I instituted some inquiries in regard to this matter, which was inspired by the receipt of A LITTLE RED-COVERED BOOK such as this I holdin my hand—it was called ‘Constitution and by-iaws” and is dated 1867, and inside is this phrase: “This organization shall be known as the ‘Line association,’ the | I received | uate on the northof Spriucatreetsat the pulutet Union word line being written in ink. this copy lately. During a conversation at the time with Commodore Sicard he told me that there no continuous organization among the line officers, This information was new to me and believing him to speak the truth I dropped the matter.” The Senator then pulled some papers from his pocket, and selecting one from the bundle, explained that it had been given to him. He had sent a copy to the Secretary soon after the introduction of his resolution, for he felt that he shouid be aware of its existence. He handed his copy over tothe judge advocate, who read it. The document was headed “CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR,” and was a sort of manifesto from the line offi- cers association to the line of the service, issued | soon after the annual meeting in October, 1888, It spoke of the urgent necessity for ac! ity in watching the course of legislation and reported rather favorable progress in the pushing forward of — the ensigns pay bill and another measure. Great opposition to these bills, it was announced, had been enconntered from’ a formidable source, which, judging from later allusions, was un. doubtedly the engineer corps. The circular called for an annual subscription of ‘TEN DOLLARS FROM EACH LINE OFFICER for the purpose of defraying the expensos of employing counsel, Along the latter portion of the circular were severai rather caus- tic remarks upon what was discreetly termed the negligeuce of Congress in regard to naval affairs. The author of the document had evidently had no very high estimation of the appreciation shown by the average Congressman for the needs, talents and importance of the naval service. Appended tothe circular was a blank for names of subscribers, WHAT THE SENATOR NEVER SAW. The Senator, continuing, said: “During the few years that I have been in the Senate { have Mr. Carlisle made a stroug argument on the constitutional phases of the question, disput- ing the right of the Speaker to put the names of members not voting on the record, He said he did not approve of Mr. Hill's action in the New York senate, and added that he regretted when his republican friends were obliged to ty on democratic preeedence for their action yshould take the worst they could find, ughter.| There were plenty of good dem- ocratic precedents which could be found with- out much difficulty. At the conclusion of his argument an adjournment was taken. ——— AMUSEMENTS, The piano concert of Messrs, Andres and Doerner, ensemble players, takes place at the Universalist church this evening and is their first appearance in this city. ‘The Schubert quartet company, which gives the second concert of the Bischoff course on Friday night at Congregational church, wiil be remembered as having given of the con- certs of the course two years since.

They cannot be added to or taken from, but must be taken as conclusive of the question. QUOTING MR. BLAINE. “This view has been held and acted on from the organization of the first Congress until the present day. In 1875, during the pendency of what was commonly called the force bill, the Speaker of the House was the distinguished — from Maine, now Secretary of State, ir. Blaine. No question can be raised in the mind of any man as to Mr. Blaine bemg an earnest, consistent republican. There can be ho question of his approving ail great measures of that party which were adopted in caucus, I say this to show you that he was in sympathy = the proposition then pending before the anon. A Member—“He was net in favor of the force Mr. Crisp—“I know nothing of that. He was the presiding officer of the House. No man questions his ability as a presiding officer; no man questions his ability as a statesman; and no matter how highly the present members of the House may vaine the character or capacity of the genfleman who now occupies the chair, certainly not one of them would claim for his ©pinion on a question of parliamentary or con- stitutional law any greater weight of authority than he would accord to that of the distin- guished —— who is now Secretary of State. That distinguished gentleman, when in ‘the chair, had this question repeatedly brought ing it about with him. It might be supposed that a@ man or a woman ought to have the right to say whether and by whom his portrait might be made. That right, however, if it exists, does not secm to be protected by law. There are thousands of persons nowadays armed with “detective cameras” who roam about taking pictures of persous who are not even aware of the fact. There are villains who take special delight in catching pictures of men, and particularly of women, in attitudes and situations of a ridiculous or questionable character. One such amateur has been known to photograph a lady and then to make a com- posite photograph iu which the lady's head appeared attached to an indecent figure. No person, male or female, however innocent and Virtuous, has any defense against such outrage. It can be perpetrated absolutely without their knowledge and the discovery of the offender may be quite impossible. When pictures are so made as to represent @ person ina scandalous, or only in a ridiculous way, they are libellous, and their maker can be ‘prosecuted in the criminal court®as well as muictedin the civil courts, always provided that hecan be proved to have published the libellous picture; but un- less he can be proved to have published it, | there is no redress. An evil-minded person | may execute any number of libellous photo- | sraphs, and yet, unless he can be proved to have sold them, or given them away, or to have openly exhibited them,she is beyond the reach of the law. The mere photographing of another without his consent ts noteven a misdemeanor at law, and no action tor damage would lie in such a case, for the simple reason that actual e could not be proved. Ip all probability the law will continue as it is until the camera nuisance becomes intolerable. Some flagrant outrage will be followed by the illegally righteous horse- whipping of the offender; then the public will discover that men and women have a right to their own faces in more senses than one, and surreptitious photography will be made a mis- demeanor punishabie in police courts, 7a Alexander McKenzie was convicted at Grand Rapids, Mich., last night of the murder of his wife November 25, aud sentenced for life, never seen any counsel claiming to represent the line officers association.

He returned a negative answer to the query of whether he knew of any other recent instance of the solici- tation of money. “Do you know,” asked the judge advocate, ‘of any instance’ where any body of naval ollicers have attempted to iniluence legislation by any methods which you would consider as derogatory to their characters as officers or gentlemen?” “Generally, no, At the same time I think that many of the methods which have been adopted would not, if authorized bytany body of oflicers, be considered as exactly right. I do not object to the employment of counsel by in. dividuals or by bodies of officers to represent them before Congress if the Secretary is in- formed of the fact and gives his permission, nor do I object to the open solicitation of money from officers for the purpose of paying counsel fees, But I do object to these methods if pursued secretly, IT I8 ANNOYING TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, and especially to members of committees, after favorably reporting a measure and after it has become a law, to find that counsel had been employed in secret and to have them come forth after the work is all done and claim the credit andthe fees, We would not object to have them come openly before us and proclaim their mission, In the case of the mates’ organiza- tion, ex-Senator Cragin came to me and told me that he had been employed as counsel for the mates to urge the passage of a bill tor their relief.” The Senator approved of this measure and of this method, “You know of no corrupt means employed py any body of naval officers?” asked Mr, Lor- ing. “Never any such, either by individuals or bodies of officers,” wath repl The Senator was then sub f and the court cleared the room and continued with the con- sideration of its report to the Secretary. fied acta Marriage Licenses.
