It was evident that there was fear on the part of the House managers that the House might be car- ried off its feet on this first occasion of a test of the sentiment toward Cuba. he House managers made their fight rity of proceeding. The Speaker, in the lobby, came into the hall d helped to rally his followers. , the floor leader of the majority the floor. He characterized De Armond's appeal from the decision of the chair as a most extraordinary proposition.

Dingley ap- pealed to his side of the House to sus- tain the rules of the House. The Repub- | licans indicated their support by warm | manifestations of approval. De Armond got the floor again, and in House to vote *to free this House for for any matter, no matter how important or urgent, without the consent of those in authority in_the House.” “It seems,” he added ironically, “to be | our loftiest’ duty to observe the petty | | shifting rules of the House, no matter | IS RULED OUT OF ORDER. | Jeered.

Cuba had a hearing in the House to- day, and for a time it looked as if par- liamentary precedents would be set aside and the Senate resolution rec-| S ognizing the insurgents as belligerents would be attached as a rider to the dip- | lomatic and consular appropriaticn bill. | De Armond, a Missouri Democrat, pre- | cipitated the issue by offering the reso- Jution as an amendment, but a point of order against it was sustained. De Armond‘appealed. He urged the Re- publicans who had professed friendship | for the struggling Cubans to override the decision of the chair as the only chance of securing action on the propo- sition. Bailey, the leader of the minor- ity, and other Democrats joined in the appeal. The excitement became * in- tense, but the appeals of Dingley, the floor leader of the majority, as well as other Républican leaders to their asso- ciates not to join in the programme succeeded. { Colson (R.) of Kentucky warned his | side that unless he was soon given an opportunity to vote his sentiments on he Cuban question he would co-cper- ate in any revolutionary method to se- cure action. The' Republican tactics kept to the front the point that the mi- | nority were seeking to override the rules of the House, and they got every Republican vote, sustaining the chalr by the vote of 152 to 114. A Democrat, Fleming of Georgia, voted with them, on the ground that he could not vio- late his oath by voting against the rules. During the debate Bailey chal- | lenged Hitt to give the House any as- | surances that an opportunity would be | offered to vote on the resolution passed by the Senate at the last session, but | he received no reply. Before the diplo- | matic bill came up the army bill was | passed. | | Hitt, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, called up the diy\‘gn- matic and consular appropriation bill | Balley objected to any limitation on the general debate. The bill carried $1729,- | 008, an increase of §33,700 aver the law for the current year. | As soon as the enacting clause had been | read De Armond (D.) of Missouri offered | an amendment to recognize the Cuban in- | surgents as belligerents. Hitt raised the point of order that the amendment was new legislation and obnoxious to the rules of the House De Armond, speaking to the point of order, said he fully understood the rules of the House, which were designed to | suppress, House. The chairman of the Foreign Af | humanity and decenc | | breathing spell by making a long speech | | when desired, the will of the | fairs Committee might, he said, feel con- | strained to raise this pojt of order, but | he reminded the House that there’still resided in its judgment the power at any time, at any place, on any bill, to place what the House believed should be there. For months, he declared, those in control of the House had declined to allow the House to consider what the people of the country, without regard to party, de- sires, namely, that Congress consider and act upon this question of recognizing thebelligerency of the struggling patriots n Cuba. When_the people of the coun- try felt as they did it was the duty of the members to override these petty little rules which had been used to suppress action. The newspapers were filled daily with harrowing _tales of starvation and “eruelty in Cuba. Should we emulate the example of Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned, and supinely and indifferently stand by when men almost within sight of our shores were fighting valorously | for principles as holy as patriots ever espoused or heroes ever defended? He taunted the Republicans with belng sub- servient to those who desired to prevent action on this question. Futher inaction, he insisted, was a disgrace to American - manhood. The autonomy offered by Spain, he de- clared, was a revolting mockery, a sham and a delusion. He warned the other gide that the queston could not be evad- ed or dodged. With this opportunity be- fore them they could not go back to their constituents and plead the rules as an excuse for non-action. He was pro- ceemnF to denounce the administration for following the example of its prede- cessor in sending out the United States navy to hunt down the sympathizers with struggling Cubans. Steele (R.) of Indiana_and Hitt both called the attentfon of the chair to the fact that De Armond was not discussing the point of order. De Armond said he well understood this, but he would not flinch from his furnoue. He would say no more. But if he point of order was sustained he de- clared that it was his purpose to appeal from the decision of the chair and give the House the opportunity to determine this question for itself. He felt con- strained to do this, he said, out of a sense of public duty Bailey, ~the Democratic leader, re-en- forced the views of De Armond, arguing that a proposition to recognize a state of war in Cuba was certainly germane to this bill. It had been his purpose, he sald, to have offered the same Cuban belligerency resolution as an amend- ment. The climax of his speech came when he offered to withdraw the amend- ment if Hitt, the chalrman of the For- elgn Affairs 'Committee, would give as. surances that the Senate resolution would recefve consideration within a reasonable “r{"?i The HDemot‘ral; applauded _this chalienge. He paused to await Hitt's answer, but Hitt did not rise. ‘The ‘gentleman” (Hitt), added Bailey, “is as silent as the Republican party on his question.” ~ Again the members cheered and the gallery also applauded. Then Hitt arose, but instead of reply- ing to Bailey's challenge he called the attention of the chair to the fact that Balley was not discussing the point of “dletr'l 3 “It is an attempt to have two general debates,” sald he. The Democrats jeered this statement. Hepburn, in the ‘chair, then sustained the point of order, where- upon De Armond, in_order to get the question before the House in a better form, offered the Senate Cuban resolution as an amendment, and when it was over- ruled, mhl:‘e his appeal from the decision of the chair.

A brief clash occurred between Bailey and Dingley over the procedure in the present ¢ Lewis (D.) _of Washington gave a on- precedents favorable to the Cuban | amendment. The Cuban theme_tempor- arily disappeared, and Cannon (R.) of Il- linois and others discu: mentary status. “If the Cuban amendment is not in order,” asked Bland (D.) of Missourl, of | Cannon, “how can _the question be | brought before the House so that we can vote on it?" “I am not required to answer how you | must proceed,” answered Cannon, amid derisive laughter from the Democratic | side. “Do you vourself believe this amend-} sed the parlia- | ment is in order?” “Yes, 1 do,” responded Bland, “becauss | this is the only way we can get at it. It is a law of necessity just now.” Again the debateé drifted on to’a prolix contest between Bailey and Dingley over | parllamentary procedure. Lacey (R.) of Iowa argued that the | minority could ill afford to counsel the | defiance of the rules of the House. The | rules were for the protection of the mi- | nority. Fleming (D.) of Georgia declared that while he was in favor of acknowledging the independence o. Cuba, he had sworn to support the rules of the House, and he could not bring himself to overthrow them. These remarks earned for him several rounds of applause from the Re- publican side. | Immediately a break occurred in the Republican_ranks when Colson (R.) of Kentucky denounced the inaction of the | House on the Cuban resolution, and the | applause was transferred to the Demo- cratic side. This was shortlived, though, as Colson concluded his remarks by declaring that he shoulu vote to uphold he decision of the chair. “But I warn my Repubilcan friends,” he added, “that have delayed too long the recognition of the insurgents. If we do not we will | be swept out of power, ana if we are not | given the opportunity to act I, for one, | will join any revolutionary tactics in or- der to cast my vote for Cuba independ- | ently. [Applause.] After some remarks by Grow (R.) of Pennsylvania, there were cries of ‘‘Vote,” | “Vote,” from the Republican side, but the | debate proceeded for some time. | When Hitt moved to close debate on the pending paragraph, Bailey attempted to | make the point of order that the ques- tion was on the appeal and not on the paragraph. and that Hitt's motion was not in order, but Hepburn, who was in the chair, held that Balley’'s point of or- | der came too late. This announcement | was greeted with Democratic jeers. “I would appeal! from that decision,” sald Balley, “were it not that two a peals are not in order at the same time. There was no break in party lines on | this motion, which was sustained—153 to 118. Speaker Reed marched through the | tellers with the majority. The question | then recurred on the appeal from the dt-{ cision of the chair. A soMtary Democrat, | Fleming of Georgia, voted with the Re- | publicans to sustain the chair. No Re- publicans voted with the minority. The chair was sustained—152 to 114. No applause marked the announcement. | The clerk proceeded with the reading. but at the next Eara:rnnh, appropriating $175,- | 000 for Embassadors to_ Great Britain, | Germany and France, Willlams (D.) of | Mississippi_ moved an amendment to ap- | propriate $000 for an Envoy Extraordi- | nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the | Republic of Cuba. The Democrats cheer- | ed. Hitt raised the point of order that the amendment was also a change of exist- ing law. | Williams argued that as there was no | law on this subject, this could not be a | change of existing law. On_this améndment also De Armond urged the Democrats to assert themselves and overrule the rules. If the Repub- licans did not, he said, they must ac- cept the responsibility. Professedly for Cuba, now was the time. “In’ the presence of your master, ruler and leader,” he shouted, "“in whose pres- ence you scarcely dare to think. T ask you to give freedom and liberty to Cuba, or meet your outraged constituency. Let us gee which course vou will follow. (Up- roarious Democratic applause.) The chair then sustained the point of order, and, on motion of Hitt, the com- mittee rose. The Indlan ug»mnflmnn bill was presented, and at 5:10 the House adjourned.

ANCONIA, Italy, Jan. 18—The bread riots were renewed here to-day.

Practically, the only busi- ness accomplished aside from the routine proceedings was the passing of the urgent deficiercy appropriation bill. The measure, as finally passed by the The Teller resolution providing that bonds of the United States may be paid in standard silver dollars was favorably reported by a majority of the finance commit- tee, and notice was given that it will be called up at an early date. An ef- fort was made to fix a time for the | final vote on the pending census bill, but was abandoned until to-morrow. Gallinger of the Committee on Public Health and National Quarantine reported favorably a bill providing for an investi- gation of the subject of leprosy, and it was placed on the calendar. Vest of Missouri, for the Finance Com- mittee, reported the Teller resolution, which’ was adopted by that committes to-day, and gave notice that he would call it up at an early date. Platt of Connecticit and Morrill of Ver- | mont desired it to be understood that the report of the committee was not unan- imous. Daniel of Virginia secured the adoption of a resolution directing the Secretary of State to supply the Senate with any in- formation the Department of State has respecting the killing of Frank Epps, a sallor of the United States ship Olympla, | by Japanese subjects in the harbor of asaki, Japan, in December, 1897, and 1o Inform the Senate if any steps have bxeen taken looking to exacting repara- tion. The resolution presented to the Senate yesterday calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for the reason why the item of $11,000,000 interest due the United States from the Paclfic rallroads had been dropped from his statement, which went over under objection, was agreed to. Allen of Nebraska called up his resolu- tion providing for an investigation by the Pension Committee as to the authori of the Commissioner of Pensions to pre mulgate an order that no conslderation be given to applications for increase of pen- slons within twelve months after the last application had been made. Gallinger, chairman of the Pension Committee, announced that he believed the resolution to be entirely proper, and it_was agreed to. In accordance with mnotice previously | given, Hale of Maine called up the urgent deficlency bill. The measure, as it passed the House, carried $1,741,843; as it was reported to the Senate it carried $1,801,923, an_increase of $150,080. The bill carrying $1913,810 was passed after a few amendments were made. Foraker of the Pacific Railroads Com- mittee asked for consideration of the bill reported yesterday, conferring upon the President authority to bid in the Kansas Pactfic branch of the Union Pacific road at the forthcoming sale. Thurston of Nebraska announced that he would earnestly press an amendment to the measure conferring authority upon the President to sell the road, in case it should be purchased by the Government, | and would oppose any authority to pur- chase unless his amendment was agreed to. It being evident that the bill would pro- voke_considerable discussion, withdrew his request for immediate con- sideration. Davis moved that the Senate go Into executive session. Carter, chairman of the Census Com- mittee, sald he desired to call attention to the notice he had given yesterday that | he would call up for consideration the pending census bill. The committee, he sald, regarded this bill &s of great im portance and felt that it should be passed promptly. “From published statements made by members of the Forelgn Relations Com- mittee,’” said Carter, “it appears that the Senate may be engaged for perhaps thirty daysin the consideration of the Hawalian annexation treaty. The census bill ough not to be delayed so long as that. The necessity for effecting the preliminary arrangements for taking the census is evident to all Senators. The Census Com- mittee cannot look with equanimity upon | a possible delay of thirty days. My opin- fon is that we shall make progress with the treaty by promptly disposing of the census bill, the consideration of which will require only a few hours.” "Davis. however, insisted upon his mo- on. Carter then wanted a time fixed for voting on the census bill, but at the re- quest of Senator Faulkner, who spoke for the Democrats, agreed to postpone his request until to-morrow. he Senate then, at 1:10 p. m., went into executive session. At 4:45 p. m. the Senate adjourned. BOASTED THAT HE HELPED T0 LYNCH MURDERER UBER.

The «Spider” Kelly and Spanjer Contest May Be Declared ot The Empire Athletic Club, managed by Messrs. Lanigan, Lynch and El- | inghouse, has secured a permit from the Board of Supervisors to hold a fistic entertainment in February. Lynch had an idea for some time that the Empire Club, which was formerly the Knickerbocker Club, would be |looked upon favorably by the City Fathers when it applied for permission | to give a pugilistic contest. | He guessed right, for at the last | meeting of the Health and Police Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors the | City Fathers, who had so strongly op- posed professional boxing contests a | week or so ago, grew suddenly good | of heart and discovered just when the Empires applied for a permit that a good serap between two hard punchers | Was not so very horrid after all and | they granted the request. A match was immediately consum- mated between “Tut” Ryan, the Au- stralian, and Joe Choynski, to take place on the ev&hing of February 5 at Mechani Paviliol Tom Lansing and Henry Baker, heavy-weights, were also matched to fight ten rounds on the same evening. This will be a prelimi- nary to the big event. Choynski has been notified and will leave the East for this city right away. Although the Empires were refused a second permit for a second contest in February, they nevertheless are san- guine of getting it when the proper time comes. At any rate, the director general of the ciub notified Solly Smith that everything would be O. K., and that he could prepare for a twenty round “go” with Sammy Kelly of New York or George Dixon, the colored wonder, to take place in the latter part of February or early in the month of March. Smith left the city yesterday with his trainer, Tim McGrath, for Hagerty's tralning quarters near the Cliff House, where he will remain until further orders. The National and Occidental Athletic Clubs will apply for permits to give ex- hibitions in February or March, and should the Supervisors refuse them recognition, it is expected that there will be a hot time in boxing circles, as the managers contend that “the powers that be” should not discriminate be- tween clubs, as they are all out—just for the love of the sport. It was stated last evening by a sport who is pretty close to one or two of the City Fathers who are blessed with powerful arms that the National Club need not expect to pull off its long pending match between Tom | Sharkey and Jim Jeffries. When asked for an explanation the sport said that the sailor pugilist was on the black- Danny Lynch simply because gave Lynch “the cold shake,” a consequence the turfman Lynch has a and as won't stand for Sharkey. bit of a pull with *“Colonel” Lanigan, and when the last named gentleman says ‘no” the negative goes every time with those who are in a position to rule the destinies of pugilism in Frisco. Therefore the bold sailor boy may | have to look to some other city where less opposition will be shown by the powers to his prowess as a knocker out of pugilists. But Jeffries will be taken care of. If the National or Occidental club is so fortunate as to secure a permit from the Supervisors Jeffries may be pitted against Peter Jackson, the colored heavy weight champion, who is at present in training at Croll's garden in Alameda. Jackson Is getting along splendidly, and he has numerous | friends in this city who will back him | strongly against any man in the world, not barring Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion of champlons. Frank Burns of the Empire Club of Vallejo has announced that the Casey and Stelzner fight will take place in Vallejo on the evening of February 1. Casey will back himself to the tune of $500, end Stelzner is now looking up a | backer. Burns also states that in case \ anything should happen that may | cause a postponement of the contest, coupons will be issued to each person who purchases a ticket and by pre- senting them to him, the admission money will be returned. ? “Spider” Kelly was seen last even- ing relative to his proposed match in Sacramento with Spanjer. He said that he had written to the secretary of the Sacramento Club that unless the club guaranteed him a purse he would not meet Spanjer. “I do not go much on this percent- age business,” said Kelly. “You know | that if the house should happen to be small there would not be anything coming to me and if the club is so pos- itive that good money will be taken | in, why don’t they offer a purse? They can stand a loss better than I can: | don’t you think I'm right?"” A dispatch from the secretary of the club which was received here last even- ing stated that the Secramento club members are disgusted with “the Spi- der's” ways of doing business, and tha they strongly believe Kelly ig afraid to meet Spanjer, and now secks a_loop- hole to crawl out of the match. It will | match McConnell to fight Spanjer in case a favorable reply is not recelved from Kelly to-day. Dal Hawkins, who is Kelly's partner ed to fight Erne next month he thought the best thing that “the Spider” could do was to declare his match with Span- | Jer off. “You know either one of us must be here to attend to business,” said Haw- kins, “and I prefer that my partner leave the ring to take care of itself for a while until I shall have finished with my next opponent.” COLLECTED IN THE CORRIDORS D.
