(LIVELY DEBATES Interesting Proceedings in Both Houses of Congress. RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY WITH CRETE Mr. Allen's Motion to Stop Senate Business. DEMOCRATIC DIFFERENCES The first reference in Congress to the Turko-Greclan war came soon after the Senate opened today, when Mr. Allen (Neb.) introduced the following resolution: “Re- sclved, That the established policy of the United States of avoiding entangling al- Hances with European powers is in no re- spect violated by our sympathizing with the Christian people of Greece in their present heroic struggle against the ad- vancement of the Ottoman empire, and that in the judgment of the Senate it would be @ recognition of the wishes of all for the executive to express to the government of Greece the sympathy of the American People.” Mr. Allen supported the resolu- tion by citing precedents in which the United States had expressed sympathy for those struggling against oppression. He also read from manuscript a detailed state- ment of the affairs of Crete from early times. Christianity vs. Paganism. It traced tke revolts of the Cretans agairst tne rule of Turkey. “This present contest,” proceeded Mr. Allen, “is the old question whether Christianity or paganism shall survive. In such a contest a great and powerful nation like the United States should not hesitate in voicing its senti- ments promptly and loudly, so that it will be heard throughout the world.” The sen- ator spoke cf the course of the allied pow- ers of Eurcpe, who, he said, had recently been reaching out in a tangible way in this country. These great powers had in- tervened, net to stay atrocities, net to stop invasion, but to prevent Greece from de- fending her hemes and her religion. Mr. Allen said he had spoken bitter things against the Turk and the Spaniard because these two hung like mill stones on the progress of civilization. They were both engaged in the same methods of mur- der, assassination, devastation by the torch and ax, while we were quiescent and silent. “TI believe the time has come,” exclaimed Mr. Allen, “when all the resources of the United States should be used to protect the Christians of Greece and the people of Cuba.” Mr. Davis (Minn.), chairman of the com- mittee on foreign relations, asked Mr. Al- len if it would be satisfactory to have the resolution referred to the committee, add- ing: “I feel warranted in promising speedy Mr. Allen assented, and the resolution was referred. Another contest over Senate committees came up when Mr. Butler (N. C.) called up his resolution directing the cominittce cn post offices and post roads to inquire and 1eport on the establishment of postal savings banks. Mr. Pettus (Ala.) promptly objected, stat- ing that no directions should be given’ to the pest office committee in its present discrganized condition. Mr. Morgan's Criticism. Mr. Morgan came to the assistance of his Alabama colleague and criticised the present disorganized condition of both branches of Congress. The refueal to or- ganize the committees amcunted to dic- tatorship—pure dictatorship. Since Con- gress convened on March 15 the purpose apparently had been not to do public busi- ness, but to advance the interests of one or the otter political parties. While he was a pclitician he had never felt that the business of the country should halt during the distribution of offices and the consideration of political affairs. There had been talk of a cloture rule, and yet why should the Senate indulge in such comical experiments when it refused to organize its own committees. Mr. Morgan turned his attention to the House of Representatives and severely erfticised the practice of adjourning for three days at a time and thus preventing “by the arbitrary, unconstitutional and un- heard of action of one man the proper consideration of business by this great leg- islative be dy.” Senators stood here, he said, without the right to represent their people or their states. They were prevented from acting by the most “gigantic and unheard-of fili- buster” ever attempted. Then Mr. Mor- gan, speaking calmly but impressively, said: “The Speaker of the House has been characterized as the great white czar, but he should be known hereafter as the gréat white filibuster.” The senator went on to say that when menu were confronted with such methods they would stand until the aggressors were forced to desist. The discussion was cut off at this point by Mr. Butler's withdrawal of the resolu- tion. Mr. Allen's Motion. The subject immediately came up in a new and more surprising form, when Mr. Allen made a motion, which he reduced to writing, in the following terms: “Moved, That no business, legislative or executive, except the consideration of ap- propriation bills, shall be transacted by the Senate during this Congress, until the com- mittee vacancies are filled.” This resolution practically meaning the cessation of business caused something of a stir on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Allen said he desired a yea and nay vote. Senator Cullom caused a laugh by say- ing: “Before the Senate stops business [ would like to present a small bill.” Other senators hurriedly presented bills in order to get in before possible stoppage of busi- ness for the day at least. Mr. Chandler (N. H.) endeavored to per- suade Mr. Allen to allow the resolution to go over. It resulted in @ sharp colloquy between them. Mr. Allen insisted on speak- ing, while Mr. Chandler insisted that all de- bate was out of order. “Thank God there is one thing we can still do in the United States Senate,” persiste Mr. Allen, “we have.the right to speak, and no man can stop us unless he has the phy- sical power.” A Lively Colloqus. Mr. Chandler asserted that the resolution had gone over and there was nothing be- fore the Senate. “The senator (Allen) is not before the Senate,” he added. Mr. Allen drew up his herculean propor- tions to their full height and answere: “Yes, the senator is very largely before ihe Senate.” ‘Unless the senator intends to defy the rules of the Senate he will not go on,” pro- ceeded Mr. Chandler. id he had no purpose to defy he continued, “if anything is CASTORIA Infants pais : SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILB SIGNATURE OF Chas.

Mr. Chandler objected. This sent the subject over. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) asked that his motion for discharge of the rules committee from further consideration of the proposed re- fcrm of the Senate rules go over until after the recess incident to the Grant ceremonies. Mr. Allen objected to any specific agree- ment. Mr. Hoar’s motion finally went over with the understanding that it would come up after thc Grant ceremonies. ‘The lively session came to an end at 1:15 Ppm., when Mr. Chandler secured an execu- tive session. The doors were opened at 2:45 and the legislative session resumed. THE HOUSE. The indications pointed to a lively ses- sion when the House met at noon today. The committee on rules bad met just be- fore the House convened, and Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania was armed with a special amendments to the Indian appropriation bill. This he presented immediately after the reading of the journal. The rule pro- vided that until the final disposition of the fcur appropriation bills it should be in or- der to consider Senate amendments in com- mittee of the whole without reference of consideration by any committee. Mr. Bailey's Statement. Upon the special order he demanded the previous question. Immediately the dis- sensions in the democratic ranks which have been the feaiure of the recent ses- sions of the House broke out. Mr. Bailey, the minority leader, in virtue of his selec- tion by the demccratic caucus, asked Mr. Dalzell to withhold the demand while he might make a statemert. This Mr. Dalzell did, <= as Mr. Bailey began he was inter- rupte: by Mr. Richardson (Tenn.), who pointed out that debate before the demand for the previous question would cut off the forty-minute debate allowed under the rule. “The gentleman from Texas,” said he, “surely does not desire to cut off this debate.” “The gentleman from Texas,” Mr. Bailey hotly, his face flushed, to do just what he is doing.” Mr. Bailey then proceeded to declare that what he objected to in the special order was its omnibus character. So far a& the Indian appropriation bill was concerned, he thought consideration in committee of the whole was eufficient, but no one could fore- see what radical propositions might come back in the sundry civil and general de- ficiency bills. * A radical proposition relative to armor Plate was being agitated. If the special order was modified so as to apply to this bill only, he said, he was satisfied there would be no objection on his side. Mr. Dalzell made the modification, but Mr. Bailey’s prophecy was not fulfilled. Mr. Bland’s Protest. Mr. Bland (Mo.) in &n impetuous way voiced the protests of those opposed to Mr. Bailey's leadership. The House had plenty of time, he said, and there was no reascn why the bill should not go through the regular channels. ‘For one,” said he, emphatically, “I shall protest against this arbitrary mode of procedure on this or any other bill.” About twenty-five members of the minority, including most of the popu- i applauded this statement. ‘You have a right to protest,” observed Mr. Dalzell. “We want to place ourselves on record,” said Mr. Bland. But they did not succeed in doing so. The previous question was ordered, Mr. Bailey and his followers voting with the republicans. Only twenty-four members voted against the previous question and but twenty-one agairst the adoption of the rule not sufii- clent to secure the yeas and nays. Mr. Bailey smiled blandly as he heard the anrouncement of the defeat of the “bolt- ers.” ‘The majority vote was 134, ‘The Indian Bill Considered. Mr. Sherman (N.

CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR THOMPSON —— Free Silver Men Carry the Election for Attorney. OTHER LOCAL NEWS -Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 22, 1897. George 1. Simpson, the people's candi- date for mayor, was nominated in the democratic primary election over Luther H. Thompson, the incumbent, and Robert H. Cox, by a plurality of 183 votes, and all Alexandria is rejoicing over the success of law and order over vice and immorality. The battle was a fierce one, and one of the most warmly contested ever had in this city. From sunrise until sunset the candi- dates and their friends fought hard for su- Premacy. Mr. Simpson will have no oppo- sition In the general election, and the nomination is equivalent to an election. Mr. Simpson will assume charge of the af- fairs of the city at noon July 1, and the people are confident that his administration will be a successful one—certain, they say, it will be an honest and straightforward one, as it is believed that Mr. Simpson will carry out the laws without fear or favor. Mr. Gardner L. Boothe, a prominent young attorney, beat Mr. Samuel G. Brent, Geo. L. Simpson. the incumbent, by a majority of This fight was waged on “gold and silver” lines. Mr. Brent having been an enthusiastic sup- porter of Palmer and Buckner, while Mr. Boothe was an ardent free silver advocate and supporter of Bryan and Sewall. The polls had hardly closed before an im- mense throng had congregated in front of The Evening Star bureau to get reliable news as to the result. The street in front of the bureau was so crowded with people that it was almost impossible to pass by. Mr. George L. Simpson, the successful can- didate for mayor, stood in front with the crowd and watched the bulletins as they flashed forth his victory. The crowd was a happy one and seemed thoroughly satisfied with the news as it came in. When enough votes had been announced to insure the election of Simpson and Boothe, the crowd yelled themselves almost hoarse.
