Havermixt, Mass., Sept. 4.—Speaker Reed and Henry Cabot Lodge left Boston for Port- land at 8 a.m. today on the provincial express. Chairman Burdette and Secretary Wardwell of the Massachusetts republican state committee accompanied them to Dover. As the train ar- rived at this place, where a crowd of 2,000 people await it, the Speaker received a grand ovation when he appeared. A line was formed con- sisting of Brother Jonathans republican bat- talion, headed by @ brass band, and the ‘column marched to a stand in Railroad Square, where Mayor Burnham introduced Mr. Reed to the audience. The distinguished guest spoke about twenty minutes, and was repeatedly applauded. In the cpurse of his remarks Mr. Reed said: “The greé object for which all political parties are formed is:te. give peace and prosperity. In the last campaign the people by a solemn vote declared that they were in favor of the pro- tection of American industrics, he people have a right to see that their wishes are carried out. The markets of America belong to the America: ple, and, in my judgment ment, within a short time this will be carried out. ‘But for the opposition of the democrats the American people would have con- trolled their markets long ago. It is strange that even in the greatest Y&tories the percentage of result is so much — than our enthusiastic could wish, but I am sure that in this case there will be a nore extensive fulfilment of the princi- ples and wishes of the victorious party than ever before in the history of the United States. I shall wei e that because I believe it is of the utmost importance. And yet, my friends, you can see today in the newspapers which represent the democratic party that the party is fighting desperately even for delay.’ Day after day and week after week the demo- crate im the Senate oo been delaying the peace and prosperity of the country.

Mr. Davis moved an amendmeut to strike binding twine out of the paragraph in order to have it afterward placed on the free list. Mr. Vance favored the amendment as a move in the right direction. It would do something for the agricultural community and he hoped that the Senator from Min- nesota would co-operate with him in putting cotton bagging (when it was reached) on the free list; and then they could all sing together, “‘Blest be the Tie That Binds.” HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Struble (Iowa) Senate bill was passed to establish a port of delivery at Sioux City, Iowa, MR. CUMMINGS PROTESTS. Mr. Cummings (N.Y.), rising to a question of privilege, protested against his “blacklisting” by the famous Cannon resolution. The gentle- man who had offered the resolution had made unjust imputations, and in making these im- putations he had falsified the Record and black- listed himself, He then proceeded to make an attack upon Mr, Cannon, comparing him to a noted character of the French revolution. In support of his resolution the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Cannon) had *ppealed to the Record. ‘The gentleman from lowa (Mr. Hen- derson) had seconded the gehtleman from Illi- nois, and had used the word “sneak.” There had been SOME SNEAKING DONE, as the Record indicated. The Record showed that the Speaker had refused to the Honse the list of names of the absentees, Forney, the great chairman of the great committee on appropriations—the suc- cessor of Samue) J. Randall—sneaking to the clerk's desk and obtaining surreptitiously e list of members that had been refysed to the House, and upon this list basing a accusa- tion agairist his fellow-members, He then pro- ceeded to arraign the Speaker and the majority of the committee on rules. This majority com- posed a triumvirate almost as powerful as the one which sprang into life AFTER THE ASSASSINATION OF JULIUS CXSAR. When the House mot the morning Mark Anthony recognized Lafidius or Octavius and nobody else, and the legislative meat was cut and dried and distribute’ according to a pre- arranged program. Mr. Cummings was tek ently interrupted by Mr. Nerr of Iowa and Mr. Rowell of Lilinois with the point of order that he was not confining himself to a question of personal privilege. ~ with A Mr. Cummings proceeded arraignment of the Speaker, after frequent interruptions asked unanim consent to print the remainder of his remarks in the Record, but this cousent was refused by Messrs. Kerr and Dunnell. Mr. Cannon remarked that the gentleman was printing @ speech under the FALSE PRETENSE OF MAKING A PERSONAL PLANATION, Mr. Cummings—That pretenso is not as falso asthe pretense by which you smuggled my name into that black list, ANOTHER INTERRUPTION was made by Mr. Kerr. This inferruption was protested against by Mr. Blount (Ga) Not 24 hours ago, said he, a gentleman on the other side was fpr to arraign a Senator of the United tes, Mr. Cannon—I call the gentleman to order. [Laughter.] ‘he gentleman from Georgia cannot take the genticman from New York off EX- the floor. Mr, Blount—Yesterday a gentleman on the other side was permitted, in violation of the rules of the House, to arraigna Senator asa felon and to arraign his colleagues for associat- ing with a felon, irr. ‘annon—The gentleman has no right to state a question of personal privilege during the time of the gentleman from New York. Mr. Blount—I am not stating a question of raonal privilege. But there has been a con- inued interruption of the gentleman from New York and an effort to oy any him that I have nevor seen attem| before, and even in tho light of the transactions of yesterday is ex- ceedingly oppressive. STOPPED BY THE SPEAKER, Mr. Cummings then proceeded with his speech, and at the end of an hour was stopped by the gavel of the Speaker pro tem. (Mr. Bur- rows). me Bland (Mo.) made the point of order that in speaking to @ question of privilege a gentleman was not governed by the hour rue. The Speaker pro tem. overruled the point and Mr. Bland appealed. Mr. Cannon, moved to lay the a) on the tatle, and on this motion demanded the pre- vious question; but Mr. Bland protested that he was entitled to the floor. E ae KS capers on the eres mee the er m. recognized Mr, 's right to the ficor. Mr. Bland yielded to Mr. re mings, and, n nding a protest from Mr. Kerr, the Speaker pro tem. recognized the gentleman New York, who proceeded with his He was called to order by the Speaker pro tem. as not to the point of order. Mr. Cummings—I may be muzzled tempora- rily, but all the machinery of the House CANNOT MUZZLE ME ETERNALLY. Mr. McCreary (Ky.) argued that Mr. Cum- mings was entitled to more than one hour. A DISAPPOINTMENT. During his argument Mr. Cummings and Mr. Connor met in the space in front of the Speaker's desk and entered into earnest conversation, ‘Their gestures were excited and the spectators in the leries watched the two a on the qui vive for a dupli- cation of the exciting scenes of last week. it in this they were disappointed, for the gentle- men rated in aj ut good nature. i ).also noted his difference from the opinion of the chair respecting the Mmitation of debate on a question of privilege, and said that he should with some reluctance tleman (Mr. sottequeny Mery to Lr eseery' 4 (Mo.) maweied the ifs rg ba withdrew and the House taken.

TRE ATKINSON BILL IN THE SENATE, Senator McMillan intends to ¢all up the Atkinson bill in the Senate as soon as the vote on the tariff bill is taken. Senator Gorman has assured Mr. McMillan that he and the dem- ocrats generally will give him all the assistance in their power to secure the passage of the bill, BAY WIXDOWS, Mrs. Cole’s bay window over which there has been so much controversy on account of ite extending over the line laid down by the build- ing regulations, although a permit was regu- larly obtained from the Commissioners, is still 8 matter of public action. The House District committee have reported favorably through Mr. Atkinson a bill providing that in all cases in which the Commissioners of the District of Columbia have on lots of over thirty-five feet frontage granted, in their recognition of the building Fequlations, permits to extend any building or buildings or any part thereof b yond the bounds of private ownership the thority of the said Commissioners is ratified, AN ABIDING PLACE FOR VETERAN FIREMEN.

It started out all right this morning, but something went wrong with the cable and the box started at a rapid gait for thp cellar. The safety catches, for once, caught on and thereby saved the life of Chief Engineer Jones, who was tho only occupant at the time. Mr. Jones had relieved Conductor Holmes for @ few minutes and for a brief season wished very heartily that he had not done it. He climbed out uninjured. Workmen are repair- ing the damage—the cable slipped off the traveling pulley—and the car will probably be running this afternoon. The accident gave anti-pedestrian Senators and obese visitors a good deal of distasteful and perspiration-pro- moting exercise, DR, MARY WALKER STOPS TALKING. Dr. Mary Walker made a good deal of noise in the vicinity of the Senate this afternoon. She tackled Senator Hawley near tho east en- trafice to the Senate chamber and demanded that a bill for hee relief be called up immedi- ately and passed. The Senator informed hor that no private bill cbuld possibly be called up at this time, whereupon the doctor, who looks as though she was extremely iil, burst forth into noisy declamation and denunciation. , The Sen- ator left her and as her lung vigor suffered no abatement Capt, St uvens, on duty{at;the door, requested her to “let up,” as it were. ‘1o which the doctor responded, “I am an American cit- izen and I will talk as loud as I please.” But she did stop, nevertheless. THE CITY POSTMASTERSHIP. The President May Send a Nomination From Cresson. The President will probably send the nomi- nation of acity postmaster down from Cresson. He leaves tomorrow morning at 10:50 with his wife, and will stay in . Cres- son abont a fortnight at the least His return will depend upon tho necessities of the public business here, but he has planned to be in the city ten days bi fore the adjournment of Congress, which is expected to occur about October 1.. He could, of course, nominate a postmaster at once, but it would be more prudent, he has decided, to wait until the nomination of Mr. Ross as Commissioner has been confirmed, for until that event there will practically be no vacancy to fill, The only name so far presented to the President is thut of Assistant Postmaster Sherwood, who was indorsed by a delegation of Grand Army men—almost the same as that which called day before yesterday to say a good word for Judge Mills for Com- missioner, These gentlemen waited on the chief executive this morning. — THE ATTACK ON MR. QUAY. Pennsylvania Members Want Kennedy’s Speech Expunged From the Record. The Pennsylvania republican delegation has been in a commotion all the morning over Mr. Kennedy's bitter attack on Senator Quay yester- day evening. Early this morning a meeting of “the delegation was called and it was resolqed to offer a resolution expunging the speech from the Record, Mr. Kennedy was first to be given aon pee to agree to this himself an if not the resolution willl be forced, All during the time in which Mr. Cummings was speaking this morning the Pennsylvania delegation remained in a cluster around Mr. O'Neill's desk engaged in drawing up the resolution, which was finally fixed satle- factorily and will be presented before adjourn- ment today.

This morning at 11:13 o'clock a carrier Pigeon alighted on a window sill in the eighth story of the census building. It seemed quite tame and Mr. W. B. Kean of the Census Office took care of it. On its leg was a band inscribed *-H 126." A carrier pigeon flew into ® window of the old war and navy division on the third floor of the Pension Office building shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, remaining on the window seat for about five minutes. The little silver band around the left leg was plainly discernible, but it was not deomed ad- visable to try and catch him to read the num- ber on it. After resting complacently for « few minutes, although stared at by a dozen clerks, he flew upward and northward about a hundred yards and then turned suddenly around and flew directly south, ————< Settling Estates.

He did not fire, how- ever, until I hed left the room and had entered the office at the other end of the hull and closed the door behind me. Then he fired the length of the hall, but did no damage whatever.” Several other people in the house corrobo- rated his statements and said that situated as the rooms are it would have been impossible for anything unseemly to have taken place without their knowin; especially as the doors were all open. ‘he’ colored ‘man, Dr. Brown's servant, denied that Mrs, Parker had gone into the doctor's room to get her wraps, but stated that after the shooting she simply went down the hall out of his office and then out of the house. MRS. PARKER AT HER MOTHER'S, Mre. Parker has gone back to her mother, Mrs, Turner, to stay for the time being.
