Willlams, after the editorial had been read, declared that the se- | curities prosecution was instigated by Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, | whom he styled “a blanket Indian Re- publican,” who refused to consult “headquarters,” and that for very shame after he had the case docketed | the administration prior to an election could not hold itself still. Tawney of Minnesota asserted that tion, but & vigorous protest came from Gaines of Tennessee and Willlams, each of whom asserted that the Demo- crats unanimously voted for such legis- lation. Soon after convening to-day the| House went into committee of the! whole to further consider the post- office appropriation bill, which was| read for amendment. | Maddox of Georgla requested of Overstreet, chairman of the Postoffice | Committee, an explanation of an item ! of $5000 for advertising, saying: “As it has been said there are a lot of rascals in the department who will probably be a little more particular hereafter.” MAKES POINT OF ORDER. Overstreet said the administration | estimate of $7000 had been reduced by the committee and the amount would be used almost exclusively in advertis- ing for bids, After some discussion by Thayer of | of New York | was agreed to. Cromer of Indiana wanted the ap- propriation of $7500 for compensation and expenses of United States dele- | ence in the amounts, he said, was in- | tended to pay the expenses to Rome of a former member of the House, | referring to former Congressman | Loud, “whose voice,” he said, “always | in the interest of economy.” After a lively debate the amendment | a vote by tellers of | 88 to 75.

After an extended debate the point of order was sustained. ] Williams followed this up by making | a point of order against the proposi- tion to give stamp clerks who may be igned “chiefs’” $2700, as against , which they now receive. OBJECTS TO SALARIES, Cowherd of Missouri and Overstreet T | as | drgued for a retention of the $2700 sal- ary provision on the ground that the salary of men performing such duties should not be too meager. Williams | insisted that there ought not to be an attempt to Department If re nize the Postoffice in an appropriation bill. | it is to be reorganized it shouid be { done in a definite and specific way. Williams included in his objection | cashiers, whose salaries he was op- | posed to raising, and offered an amend- ment to reduce the amouht allowed by Further criticizing the pro- osed increases in salaries Williams, as if by way of emphasis, remarked “this | & department that is absolutely rot- | ten from turret to foundation-stone.” Payne of New York, the Ropublicflu’ leader, asked, “Where dqes the gentle- man get this information?” “I get it from their own office,” re- | plied Williams, | “Then you do not get it at all,” hotly | replied Payne. | “I do,” warmly replied Williams “and I get it from their charges | against themselves; and I get it from | the charge contained In the President’s | | message; and I get it from the knowl- edge that prevails in this House.” He| said that only one division of the Post- | office Department had been investi- gated. “I believe, and I believe the gentle- man from New York believes, that| there are other divisions in it equally GROSVENOR IS SARCASTIC. Payne said he did not believe any- thing of the kind, and he had not seen a single man who knew anything about “And still.” he said, “the gentleman | indulges in this extravagant language that the whole department is rotten.” Williams then withdrew all the points of order and amendments he had of- fered. Grosvenor of Ohio, speaking in a sar- castic vein, said that great bureaus of the Postoffice Department had been the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, and he thought it would be a good idea to let Bristow “run the whole machine” and thereby save the salaries of the other three as- sistants. The charge that the Postoffice De- partment had diverted appropriations for rent, fuel, etc., to the payment of clerk hire was vigorously made by ‘Williams, and he demanded to know who was responsible for that abuse and for changing the law to suit his own will. “Somebody,” he said, “has been de- priving the legislative branch of the Government of its constitutional right and power to ny where the public money shall g0.” Overstreet said there was a belief in the department that the construction of the appropriation would permit the practice. VIOLATE THE LAW. ‘Williams warmly replied that there never was a man born so great a fool | to know | & | liams if he could state | golden.” as to contend that an appropriation for rent meant an appropriation for fuel. He then spoke of the independence of the Civil Service Commission and its absolute contempt for the law. “They do not hesitate & minute,” he declared, “to violate the law any time they please, and tell you with suavity that it was because of a construction put on the law by somebody, God only knows whe.”" He said the most discouraging thing in American citizenship as represented in the House was for an honest man to come to Congress and find him- self hedged all around with a wilder- ness of misinformation, overinforma- tion and non-information, “whichever happens to suit the fellows who write their decrees and send them here to be registered in appropriation bills.” The hour of adjournment was at hand when Southwick of New York, referring to Willlams' remarks yester- day on the subject of trusts, had read an editorial from the New York World saying that the anti-trust law was framed by a Republican, passed by a Republican Senate and signed by a Republican President, and that it had remained a dead letter on the statute books during the second term of Presi- dent Cleveland. The Republicans vig- orously applauded. | Williams said he was more than de- | on the floor “cheer the hounds on to hunt down lhe combines and trusts of this country.” | GIVES VAN SANT CREDIT. ‘, Already, he continued, Attorney Gen- | | eral Knox had been careful to be in- terviewed and to permit the country | that the Northern Securities case just settled the Northern Securi- ties case, and that it does pot mean anything particular, ‘anyhow. One statement in the article referred to, he said, credited this administration | with being the author of the prosecu- tion. It happened to be, he declared, one Van Sant, out in the West some- | where, who started the case, and fur’ very shame, after he had got the case | upon the docket, the administration, prior to an election, could not hold self still. Governor Van Sant was a | “blanket Indian Republican,” and he did not consult “héadquarters,” but precipitated the litigation. Continuing, Williams said he had seen blanket Indian Republicans be- fore, and he had seen them *quelled” when the time came. { “And,” he declared, “if you dare to attack the men who are furnishing | your campaign expenses and carry it far enough to persuade them you are in earnest, you will be quelled, too. If you don’t do it, you will be quelled by the people.” Tawney of Minnesota stirred up a hornet’s nest when he inquired of Wil- how the Demo- | crats in the Fifty-first Congress voted | when the Sherman law was up for con- | sideration. He declared that every del- | egate voted against it. | | The House was at once in an up- roar. Gaines of Tennessee, gesticulating | wildly, asserted that every one voted | for the bill when it was passed in the House and that it passed the House and Senate unanimousl His remarks were met by laugh and jeers from the Republican side. He stated that the first bill had been introduced by Sena- tor Teller and began to give a history of the legislation, when he was inter- rupted by Tawney, who said that when McKinley presented the rule for the consider on of the anti-trust law the Democrats opposed it. | “Ah, get out!” shouted Gaines, amid | | great confusion. o | An inquiry from Grosvenor as to what had become of the postoffice ap- propriation partly restored good order. | Mr. Williams, getting the floor, said | it was not true that the Democrats op- | posed any legislation calculated o | down trusts or combines. | The House at 5:20 o’clock adjourned. | —_——— | DIETRICH INQUIRY CAUSES SUMMERS TO LOSE PLACE | | President Notifies Senator That United | States Klstrlvt Attorney of Ne- ‘ braska will Be Removed.
