He told of the silk and cotton mills he visited, the condition and ways of the people, the homes they live in and the comforts they have and do not have, and spoke of his experiences with the Marquis Ito, of his evening at the Kmperor's garden party, of the form of Government, of the religious customs and the educa- tional institutions of the Japanese. Many of the figures he gave con- cerning Japanese manufactures, their selling price and cost of production were | very interesting, showing the effect that it is bound to have upon laborers and tradesmen in the United States dealing in similar lines of goods. After investigating actual conditions in Japan he deems the question of Japanese competition one of the momentous prob- lems that the American Nation will have to solve, but he thinks its danger lies not so much in the present competition in the undeveloped state of Japanese resources as in the enormous rapidity of the growth of the Japanese output in all lines of manufacture which they enter. “Do you think,”” said Judge Waymire, ‘“‘that with the growth of intelligence and increase of skill in manufacture the cost of living will increase to any figure ap- proximating the cost of living in this countr; “That is a theory which I tried to it into the conditions there, but could not for this reason,” said Porter, “to a great many places that I visited I was accom- panied by the son of the Chief Justice of Japan, a gentleman living under the same conditions as any of us. He was educated in this ccuntry, for five years first at an Ohio school and afterward at Harvard | College. Then he went to Heidelberg | University for three years, and one year in Paris. You would not deny that a man who had gone through all this was as good as ourselves. “‘One day, in Kioto, he said, ‘Porter, you are a most extravagant fellow. Here am 1 living under the same roof as you. I em smoking and enjoying myself, and I bave had everything I want. You have paid $5 for it; I bave paid 75 cents. I have had everything I want to eat served in my room, with a man to wait on me, while gyou have to eat in a big room with a lot of people, and bave napkins and chairs and tablecloths, | mustard bottles, pepper and salt bottles | ana lots of other things and separate ‘waiters to wait on you.” They want noth- ing but a little lacquer tray, filled only with the things they have to eat, and two chopsticks, a little rice, then a little saki, with a cushion to spread down their quils for the night, and they are fixed. ¥ “They are perfectly happy under this condition. The question is, whether we | could bz happy under similar conditions. Therefore, I consider the probiem of Japan- ese competition a very serious one, when they are organized so they can accomplish the same things in manufacturing that we | do. We have decided the question of com- peting in our own country with Asiatic labor by excluding them; this is a ques- tion of competing with the Asiatics on their own soil, in their native environ- | went. “The whole Japanese trade, including bullion and everything, ten years ago amounted to $78,000,000. Last year it had increased to $300,000,000. The exports of | textil alone have increased from $511,- 000 to $23,000,000 in ten years.” “Wiere do they send those goods?.”’ “They pply the home demand. Formerly they nght yarn in India. Now they do not. Some of the finer wools they still have to buy in England. They supply the home aemand for cotton cloth, and the means to marry his employer's daugh- ter. They went to New York and had the ‘knot tied and _started for home, expecting forgiveness. They learned that the father had started to find them, Where they will go or what they will do is left for the fature to decide. Sang e T LOWERS THE ATLANTIC RECORD. The St. Paul Makes the Voyage From Southampton to New York in Very Fast Time. QUARANTINE, 8. I, June 5—The American line steamer St. Paul has succeeded in establishing a new record between Southampton and New York. She arrived in port this afternoon, making the run from The Needles to Sandy Hook lightship in 6 days 5 hours and 32 min- utes. The New York, of the same line, has neld the record—ot 6 days 7 hours and 10 minutes—since September 14, 1854, This time was made over the short course of 3043 knots. The trip of the St. Paul wag over the long course of 3122 knota. Her average speed per hour was 20.82 knots. —_———— REV. F. HEKRMANS LOCATED. The . 8t. Lowis Police Think They Can Catch the Murderer. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 5.—Chief Harri- gan and his detectives think they have located Rev. Francis Herrmans, the fugi- tive multi-murderer of Salt Lake, They have not only learned positively that Herrmans was at the Union station in this city about May 11 but they have traced his movements since then, and last night Chief Harrigan admitted tkat he knows where the arch-criminal is in hid- mg. The chief sent a telegram to Chief of Police Pratt of Salt Lake City informing him that Herrmans had been located and telling him that if the Salt Lake City au- thorities would send enough money here the St. Louis police would bring about the fugitive criminal’s’ apprehension. Chief Harrigan wishes complete silence kept in the matter, as any information that came to the ears of the fugitive might defeat the ends of justice. BUTALONTD ONLYSHILES Dramatic Evidence Connects Walling With the Pearl Bryan Murder. Confession of the Accused Admitted in Evidence Against Protests of the Defense. CINCINNATI, Onro, June 5.—At the opening of the Walling trial this morning Judge Helm ruled that all of Walling’s damaging admissions, as related by Re- porter Anthony yesterday, should be ad- mitted. This decision was a blow to the defense, for a part of the testimony ad- mitted was Walling’s confession that he knew Pearl Bryan had been murdered. Elizabeth Ware, the tollgate-keeper, tes- tified that on the night of the 31st of Janu- ary, about midnight, a carriage drawn by one horse passed through the tollgate. The driver would not stop, saida she, to pay his toil even after she had called for him to do so. Watchman Pat Kinney of the Grand Central Station said that on the afternoon of January 31 he saw Alonzo Walling and also send some to England. Of course that business can increase largely without interfering with us, - ‘*Last year they bough? $2,500,000 worth of American cotion. As they improve in manufacture they produce finer yarns; and as they make better cloth, they must use ovr cotton. In order to get any por- | tion of the trade that Engiand now has with China they mustuse more American cotton. “In view of this there was a Japanese syndicate formed while I was there with a capital stock of $5,000,0600 to run a new line of steamships_from_-this country—from Philadelphia, New York and Portland, Or. They hope to ship cotton from Phila- delphia, but they may start a line from | San Diego. They must have our cotton. “Itis not a mere question of tariff, but a question of the future. Here is a trade 000,000, Ten years | ago they made $60,000 worth of matches and sent very little out of Japan; last year, $4,700,000 worth, nearly $5,000,000, and all went to India. ‘We did not receive more than $20,000 worth. “The point is, if in three or four years they could wipe out all the European com- petition, what can they notdo when they get started this way. There are 45,000,000 people in Japan. “The same with matling and rugs. ars ago the amount was infinitesi- lly_small—only $935—of mattings ex- ported. Rugs were not mentioned in their reports. Last year these two items amoupted to $7,000,000, “Tifey do this with a combination of modern machinery and the most docile labor in the world. They have no factory laws and can employ children at any age. Children work at seven, eight and nine years of age the whoie day long, for from one to two American cents per day. The children have very apt little hands, and they will twist threads around them, make Sakai rugs and all that sort of work. They put the matches into boxes and make the boxes quicker than you or I or anybody else could doit. They have girls at work also and they do not earn more than 5 sen. They live on the same principle as my friend. B “The relative positions of English and American trade to Japan are illustrated by the fact that England sold to Japan last year $56,000,000 of products and par- chased $7,000,000 worth, while America bought from Japan $54,000,000 worth and sold her only §9,000,000 worth, 614 per cent of this being our staple products. “If we are to keep up this large volume of business with them they should buy from us, and we should make them see it to be their interest to do it. This would be on the line of reciprocity. *“The Japanese Government now consists of a Parliament, which was instituted in 1890; a Diet, composed of representatives who are elected; a House of Peers, ap- pointed by Marquis Ito—he in turn being appointed by the Emperor—and the Cabi- net, also apoointed by the Emperor. The Diet and the House of Peers may be dis- solved, but the Government cannot be overturned, as the Cabinet is permanent. “The elective franchise is limited to about 600,000, out of the total® of 45,000,- 000 only’ those owning @ certain small amount of property voting,” Porter spoke very highly of the Marquis Ito, his courteous bearing and his simple manner of living and traveling. He also described the costume at court receptions in Japan. In general his opinion of the people is very high. WERE MARRIED IN HASTE. Youny Hyland and His Bride May Eepent at Leisure. NEW YORK. N. Y., June 5.—Andrew R. Hyland, & young man irom San Fran- cisco, and Mary Daly, the daughter of J. ‘W. Daly, a prominent horseman -from Mount Kisco, were married at St. Francis Xavier's Church, in New York, Jast Tuesday, and they have been in con- cealment in fear and trembling ever since. The reason of their fear is that the young bride’s father is wrathful at the marriage, which took place without his consent, and the report that he is on their trail, sweariug dire vengeance, caused them to leave the city last night. Young Hyland is a bookkeeper, and did not have a young woman answering Pearl Bryan’s description. The girl was weeping. She was constantly talking to Walling, who seemed to turn a deaf ear to her en- treaties. Kinney's identification of Walling was intensely dramatic. Turning round to the witness-box he pointed out Walling’s red- dening face, and declared, ““1 can never forget that man nor that girl.” Walling eyed the witness and attempted to smile. The case will probably go to the jury by | the end of next week. SWEPT BY SEVERE STORMS. Buildings and Crops Suffer in Many Sec- tions of lowa and Ne- braska. ATLANTIC, Towa, June 5.—At 5 o’clock this afternoon this city was visited by a regular waterspout, lasting half an hour, followed by hail, some of which was ten inches in circumference. The hail broke the window-lights in many places. The worst damage was done to skylights in the 1.0. 0. F. building, amounting to $200, Egbert’s photograph gallery was damaged $75 and Scott’s greenhouse $1800. “In the country garden truck was pounded into the ground and young corn destroyed. Bull Creek, flowing through the heart of the citg, overflowed its banks, carrying barns, bridges and occupied dwellings for blocks. The occupants were finally res- cued with difficulty. The dwelling-houses on Walnut and Elm streets were flooded to a depth of three feet. The Rock Island tracks were completely submerged, and a large gang of men is now at work cienring away the debris. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, June 5.— Missouri Valley and adjacent territory was visited by. the heaviest rain last night, accompanied by a terrible windstorm that developed into a cyclone, In Grassland, a suburb, the house of Ben Purcell was completely overturned and the family more or less injured. At the fair grounds the floral and machinery halls were completely wrecked. A large portion of the Erie-street schoolhouse roof was blown off and Newtinder’s icehouse was crushed like egg shells. A large number of horses and cattle are reportea killed. Telegraph wires were prostrated and the morning trains were delayed by washouts. The storm was the worst known in this section of the coantry for many years. LINCOLN, NEBR., June 5. —Threatening storm clouds which hung over Lincoln nearly all of last night did damage some miles from the city. On the farm of G. B. Garlock, the wind, blowing almost at the hurricane stage, di§ped and tore to pieces a grove of trees. Nearly all were uprootea or blown down. On the farm of ex-Sheriff Ensign outbuildings were de- molished. The wind blew hard in this city, but no damage wasdone. -There was a heavy fali of rain and hail. Reports from Northeastern Nebraska tell of a terrific storm of wind and rain. In Stanton County barns, schoolhouses: and one large country church were torn to pieces. Much farm machinery and other personal . property was destroyed. The wind was even more violent in Thurston County, developing almost into a tornado, Several residences were.badly damaged, barns leveled and stock killed. So far as known no lives were lost. One boy was injured. 2 e Deade’s Statue Unveiled. GETTYSBURG, Pa., June 5.—The equestrian statue erected by the State of Pennsylyania in honor of the memory of General George E. Meade,commanding the Army of the Potomac, was unveiled this morning in the presence of a large num- ber of distinguished military officers and civilians. SR Killed by Poisoned Arrows. PARIS, Fraxce, June 5.—The Govern- ment is in receipt of information that the French expedition whick recently left Balaga, en route for the Niger, was routed by the natives. Three Europeans and many natives belonging to the ex- pedition were killed by poisoned arrows. MORGAN YET IN WARLIKE MOOD. Insists Upon Sending War Vessels to Cuba to Aid Americans. PROTECTION DEMANDED. Imprisoned Members of the Crew of the Competitor Should Be Released. ARGUED IN SECRET SESSION. But the Resolution Is Placed on the Calendar and There It May Remain. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 4.—The resolution offered last Tuesday by Mor- gan of Alabama requiring the President to communicate to the Senate all facts and proceedings relative to the trial by court-martial, sentence and imprisonment of citizens of the United States who were captured on board the American vessel Competitor in Cuban waters, was taken up mn the Senate to-day and its adoption urged by Morgan. The resolution omitted the usual phrase, “if not incompatible with the public interests,’”’ and was based upon section 2001 of the Revised Statutes, which makes it the duty of the President, whenever any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by any foreign Government, to demand forthwith the reasons for such imprison- ment; to demand the release of such citi- zen if his imprisonment is wrongful; to use such means, not amounting to acts of war, as he may think necessary and vroper to effectuate the release and to communicate all charges and proceedings to Congress as soon as practicable. Morgan was very emphatic 1n express- ing hisviews. He considered it absolutely necessary before Congress adjourns to aid the President in sending ships of warto Cuba to secure the release of those Ameri- can prisoners. He was so earnest in this and other declarations of a like character and the matter itself was such a serious international one that Sherman of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, suggested that the debate should net be continued in open session. The galleries were accordingly cleared, the doors closed and® Morgan finished his speech in secret session. He spoke until the morning hour ar- rived, and then, under the rules, the reso- lution went to the calendar, from which it cannot be taken up without a majority vote of the Senate. At the close of Morgan’s speech Sher- man said the subject was one which should not be debated in public, and he moved that the galleries be cleared. That motion was agreed to, the galleries were cleared and the doors closed, and the debate was continued in secret session. In the secret session Morgan appealed to the Senate to vass his resolution looking to the bellig- erency of the insurgents, and to take such steps as would protect American citizens on that island. During the course of the discussion Sherman and Lodge, who had waited upon the President as a sub-committee of the Committee on Foreign Relations, in- formed the Senate that the only question now was the protection of American cit- izens. Without stating what the Presi- dent. had to say, they both agreed that that matter should be left in the hands of the President, especially in viéw of the lateness of the hour and the impossibility of framing legislation between now and adjourrment. When Congress again met would be ample time, they said, to take up the subject again. The doors were reopened at 1:05 and an effort was made by Lodge (R.) of Massa- chusetts to Have the immigration bill taken up, but it was evident that the Cuban question bad not been definitely settled in tue secret session, for there was a motion to allow Morgan to continue his remarks. That motion again provoked a demand to have the galleries cleared -and the doors closed. That demand was en- forced and the Senate again went into se- cret session. In secret session the Morgan resolution was ordered to be placed on the calendar, so that it cannot be taken up again unless a majority of the Seuate shall vote to take it up. After the doors were opened for the sec- ond time the 'immigntion bill was taken up, Lodge having stipulated that he would not ask for a vote on the bill before Mon- day next. The immigration bill was laid aside tem- porarily in order to permit Mitchell (R.) of Oregon to address the Senate on his joint resolution for a constitutional amend- ment for the election of Senators by the people instead of by the Legislatures. He said, however, that he cculd not ask action upon it until next session. The proposed reform was also advocated by Perkins (R.) of California. Aldrich (R.) of Rhode Island at 3:35 p. a. offered in the Senate & resolution provid- ing for the final adjournment of Congress on Monday next. He stated that the ap- propriation bills would probably be through by that time, and certainly Tues- dayg. e AS RELATED BY LAWRENCE. The Correspondent Tells About the Court- Martial of the Competitor’s Men. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations this afternoon removed the injunction of secrecy from the testimony in relation to Cuban affairs of Frederick W. Lawrence and Rev. A. J. Diaz. Lawrence, referring o the arrest of Alfred Laborde and Milton, who were on the Competitor, said that so far as the testimouy of the men who cap- tured them before the court-martial went, it showed that neither of the men had arms upon their persons. From an Amer- ican point of view, these prisoners were not assisted by counsel, but from a Span- ish point of view they had counsel. This counsel consisted of a lieutenant in the navy, who asked questions and who cross- examined no witnesses. No witnesses were produced but Captain Butron and the other officers of the Mensajerra. This lieutenant asked for cl emency for Laborde on account of the illustricus place his name had borne in the Spanish navy, and for Milton because he was not there for the purpose of fignting, but merely on his business as & newspaper correspondent. The men were even asked if they had anything to say in the Spanish language. William Gildea, the last of the five men tried together, replied to the interpreter: ‘All I have to say is that I do not under- stand one word that has been said for me or against me, and at any rate I appeal to both the British and American consuls.” The court made its finding within fifteen minutes after Gildea made this statement. Before the trial Gildea made a statement | that he was a poor sailor and went on board the Competitor, thinking she was bound for Sable Keys fishing, and that he knew nothing of the nature of the busi- ness until after it started. Laborde stated that his ship had been hired to do fishing, but that he was held up by a revolver and ordered to go to Cuba. Witness also saw Dygert, who was im- prisoned at Guines with twenty-two others in a room nct larger than sixteen by eigh- teen feet. The food given him was exe- crable, and all the time he was confined he was not permitted to change his clothes. Dygert was not released until one month after Marquis Palmerola told Lawrence that the Government knew he was innocent. —_— INDUSTELIAL DIVERSION. It Is Recommended for the Inmates of Soldiers’ Homes. CEDAR RAPIDS, Mich., June 5—All minor sections on the programme this morning for 9 o’clock in connection with the Twenty-third National Conference of Charities and Corrections were postponed for the general session at 11 o’clock on “‘Soldiers’ Homes.”” Hon. C. E. Faulkner of Atchison, Kans., presented the report of the committee and asked especial consid- eration fof the conference for the loss of individuality, independence and self-es- teem. He suggested industrial diversion as the most plausible scheme. This afternoon at 2:30 o’clock the section of juvenile reformatories began its work promptly and the other sections on chronic insane, poor, soldiers’ and sailors’ homes and child-saving work were organized at 8 o’clock. The general session in the evening con- sidered “The Merit System in Public In- stitutions,” at which Hon. Philip C. Gar- rett of Philadelphia presided as chairman, SENATOR GEAR IS BEATEN Abandons His Intention of Forec- ing Cousideration of the Funding Bill. No Hcpe for the Passage of the Meas- ure During the Short Session of Congress. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—Senator Gear has abandoned his intention of ask- ing a vote on his motion setting the eighth legislative day of the next session for con- sideration of the funding bill. Gear told Senator White and others to- | day that he would not press his motion, 80 it is hoped the last has been heard of the funding bill for this session. Judge Maguire is of the opinion that it cannot pass at the short session, for it could hardly be reached before January, and the determined handrul of Senators who oppose the bill could discuss the measure for weeks and prevent a vote, as thereis no rule in the Senate to limit de- bate. Senator Morgan to-day explained to a brother Senator his action in supporting Gear's motion of yesterday, setting a day for consideration of the bill next session. He said he was contident the bill would be beaten, and he was anxious that it should be brought to a vote and knocked out, so that the SBenate might adopt his own bill, providing that the matter be set- tled in courts cf the District of Columbia, and foreclosure made on the property of the two companies. LEE RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT. The Travelers’ Protective Association Concludes Its Scssion. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp.,, June 5—The Travelers’ Protective Association ad- journed to-day after making a number of amendments to the constitution and electing officers. The principal amend. ment was to give the National officers the authority to levy a special assessment when the financial conditions of the order made it necessary.

Vacant Seats Do Not Prevent the Speaker Pro Tem. Count- ing a Quorum. PROTESTS ARE NOT HEEDED. So the Democratic Strength in the House Is Reduced to Nine- ty-Five. WASHINGTON, D. C., june 5.—The record made by the Republicans in the Fifty-first Congress was equaled to-day in one regard, and in another Speaker pro tem. Payne (R.) of New York established an entirely new one. Ason the famous occasion in that Congress when two Dem- ocrats—Venable and Elliott—were un- seated at one session, so to-day two Demo- crats were voted out of their seats and their places filled by their opponents at the Congressional election in 1894, Ason that occasion also the Democrats sought to prevent action, abandoning their places on the floor so as to break a quorum. This was in the case of Martin (Pop.), vs. Lockhart (D.) from the Sixth District of North Carolina, which was dis- cussed yesterday. Upon a preliminary vote the Democrats, after voting, left their seats, only half’a dozen remaining. Subsequently when Bailey (D.) of Texas, who was in charge of the minority inter- ests, made a point of no quorum, pointing to the vacant seats as evidence of the fact, Speaker pro tem. Payne overruled the voint, holding that on the last recorded vote more than a quorum had answered to their names, and declined to entertain an appeal from his decision. He declared that the resolution of the committee that Martin was entitled to his seat had been adopted by a vote of 113 ayes to 5noes, and Martin was sworn in. This was followed by the consideration of the report of Eiections Committee No.1 upon the'contest of Rinaker vs. Downing from the Sixteenth Illinois District, which bad been sent back to the committee for a recount of the ballots. This recount was completed yesterday, and to-day Moody (R.) of Massdchusetts, in charge of the case, reported a resolution declaring Ri- naker entitled to the seat by a plurality of five. Upon the face of the returns Down- ing had a plurality of forty and received the certificate of election. Moody stated that in his opinion Downing was entitled to retain his seat, but his view of the law was not accepted by the otlier Republican members of the committee, and he frankly confessed that he did not expect the House to adopt his opinion. McMillan (D.) of Tennessee endeav- vored to secure a postponement, but failed. He did succeed, however, in con- sequence of a colloquy between himself and General Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio, in bringing about the most violent and dis- orderly scene of this Congress, being de- clared out of order and compelled to take his seat by the Speaker pro tem., and cer- tain remarks which could not be under- stood at the desk in the confusion being ordered stricken from the record. General Rinaker’s right to the geat was affirmed by a vote of 167 to 51. This wiped out the Democratic membership in the lllinois delegation and reduced the Democratic strength in the House to 95. The day began with a two hours’ struggle over the adoption of a resolution intro- duced by Grosvenor calling upon the fieads of the several executive depart- ments for a statement in detail of all the removals and changes in their depart- ments since March 4, 1893. The Demo- crats endeavored to have the scope of the resolution enlarged so as to include the changes made under the Harrison admin- istration, but failed. At 4:55 o'clock the House adjourned until to-morrow, the evening pension ses- sion being dispensed with. Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio called up the resolution reported from the Committee on Civil Service directing the heads of the several executive departments to report to Congress the number and personnel of the changes in the clerical force since March 4, 1893. Much amusement was created by a colloguy between Grosvenor and Dockery over the effort of the latter o have the resolution amended so as to textend the scope of the resolution over tne Harrison administration. “In its present shape,” said Dockery, “the resolution of the gentleman is open to the suspicion of being partisan in its nature. It wassaid tnat in the Harrison administration the civil service law was suspended in order to dismiss 1700 em- ployes of the mail service. Thisis the suggestion made by the wicked Democrat from Tennessee (McMillin), and the oppor- tunity should be offered to vindicate the | Harrison administration from that asper- sion.” Grosvenor agreed that Dockery had cor- rectly designated McMillin as a wicked Democrat, but insisted that Dockery's amendment should be kept by itself. “It has merit,” remarked Grosvenor, “but I prefer that the pristine purity of my reso- tion be not disturbed.”” The Democrats opposed the passage of the resolution and secured a vote by ayes and noes. It resulted: Ayes 170, noes 53. Dockery then sought to secure his de- sired end by moving to recommit the reso- lution with instructions to make it cover the removals and changes in the Harrison administration. Lost. The resolution was then agreed to—ayes 147, noes 48. Strode (R.) of Nebraska demanded the previous question, the resolution declar- ing Martin (Pop.) entitled to the seat oc- cupied by Lockbart (D.), from the Sixth North Carolina District, which was con- sidered yesterday. It was Drdered.‘ and Bailey (D.) of Texas moved to substitute the resolution of the minority of the Elec- tions Committee No. 2, declaring Lockhart entitled to his seat. It was defeated—58 to 155. 2 Bailey moved to recommit the case to the Elections Cofamittee. On this the House divided—ayes 39, noes 70. “No quorum,” said Bailey. 5 Speaker pro tem. (Payne)—The ch_mr overrules the point, 213 members having just voted. G Bailey—I appeal from the decision of the chair. 3 The Speaker pro tem.—The chair declines to entertain the appeal. [Republican ap- plause. ] * Amia considerable confusion the Speaker pro Lem.was proceeding to put the question to the House on the adoption of the reso- lution of the majority of the committee to seat Martin, against which Bailey vigor- ously protested. He demanded the ayes and noes on the question of recommitting the case, to which the Speaker pro tem. re- plied that he thought the demand came too late. “I was on my feet,” retorted Bailey, ‘‘to demand the ayes and noes, when I was in- terrupted by this Republican applauseof a Republican Bpeaker for his refusal to re- spect the constitutional rights of a mem- ber.” [Democratic applause.] The ayes and noes were ordered on the question of recommitting the case, result- ing: Ayes 51, noes 148, ‘While this vote was in progress the Democratic members vacated their seats for the purpose -of * breaking a quorum. leaving Bailey in charge of the case for the minority and two or three associates on guard. The question was then put on the reso- lution declaring Martin entitled to the seat and the vote was announced—ayes 113, noes 5. *‘No quorum,” blandly suggested Bailey. “The chair overrules the point,”’ prompt- 1y responded Speaker (pro tem.) Payne. “But Mr. Speaker,” said Bailey, non- plused by this attitude and ruling, “tte vacant seats on this side testify to the fact that there is no quorum present. I appeal from the decision of the chair.” The Speaker pro tem.—The chair de- clines to entectain the appeal. Strode moved to reconsider the last vote and to lay that motion on the table, but in case it might lead to a division and there- fore a formal and official ascertainment of the fact that a quorum was not present withdrew it. “I renew the motion, Mr, Speaker,” said Bailey. This would have developed the absence of a quorum if permitted to take the usual course, but before a division could be asked on the question Grow (R.) of Penn- sylvania demanded the ayes and noes, but under Republican suggestion withdrew the demand. “I renew it,”” hastily said Bailey, but he had lost his chance, for he could not mus- ter strength enough to second his demand and the motion to reconsider and to lay that on the table was agreed to. Martin appeared and was sworn in by Speaker pro tem. Payne. At the request of Mercer (R.) of Nebras- ka the bill appropriating $200,000 to the Owaha Exposition, when the citizens shall have raised $250,000, was read, and it was a long bill, and unanimous consent asked for its consideration. Members were not surprised to see Kem (Pop.) of Nebraska rise in his place and with evident feeling remark: *“The gen- tleman from Nebraska (Kem) objects.” Moody (R.) of Massachusetts presented the report of Elections Committee 1 upon the count of ballots cast in the Six- teenth Illinois District, ordered by the House in the contested case of John I Rinaker (R.) vs. Finis E. Downing (D.). McMillin (D.) of Tennessee endeavorea to secure delay of action upon the report *‘for a reasonable time, say until to-mor- row."” An inquiry by Grosvenor at this junc- ture precipitated the most violent and dis- orderly scene of the session. “In view of what we have seen here to- day can the gentleman from Tennessce assure us of the presence of a quorum at this time?” McMillin rushed furiously down the aisle and shouted: '‘Whenever there is any dirty work to do in a cantested elec- tion case the gentleman from Ohio can be depended on to furnish a quorum.”” Moody here interposed and, impressively raising his hand, said: “As one who has stood by the contestee in this case throughout and expects to vote for him to retain his seat, I most earnestly deplore that remark by the gentleman from Ten- nessee. [Applause.] I ask for the pre- vious question.” McMillin started to make some response, but his voice was almost drowned by cries of “Regular order” by the Republicans and the pounding of tha gavel. Partial quiet being restored, Grosvenor started the racket afresh. *The gentle- man from Tennessee,”” he said, ‘‘has been pointing his finger at me and ejaculating something I could not understand what, If I am entitled to know what it is from the reporter’s notes, I should like to be in- formea so that I may answer it. 1If not, I ask that the reporters be requested to omit his remarks.” McMillin bounded down the aisle at this accompanied by shouts and cries from the Republicans, who thereby en- deavored to acquaint Grosvenor with their opinion that he ought not to pay any at- tention to McMillin’s outburst, and by renewed vigorous poundine on the desk by the Speaker pro tem. the lmler(l‘gynu) stated that the remarks by McMillin were out of order and would not be preseryed in the record. Against this McMillin vehemently pro. tested, unless Grosverner’s question, which he, denounced as a reflection upon him- self, was also expunged. Quiet having again been restored, the previous question was ordered by a vote of 164 10 57. McMillin moved to reconsider the report and resolution. Lost, On the adoption of the resolution seat- ing General Rinaker the vote was aycs 167. noes 51, and General Rinaker was sworn in. MET DEATH BLAVELY.
