WARRINGTON, Jan. 4th, 1910.
The spirited debate in the Senate cham
Der Yesterday is still ringing in the ears of
the hundreds of hearers, all of whom are ell
oquent in their expressions Of admiration.
"A poor report Of the controversy appears
in the city papers of this morning, and any

you can never SEQ ii written speech. His
words, 10 use the figure o. speech used BY

Of q flute. He commands your attention

WASHINGTON, Jan, Sd, 1910.
Important Sessios-A brush beticeen Mr.
Clay end Mr.. Cdlhoun--a personal rencon-
tire in the House.

This has been strange but an interes-
ting session in the two Houses of congress.
That ofthe House was brief and that Of the
Senate of more than three hours length.
Both were exciting. In the House, Mr.. Jen-

which appeared in the Globe of the 3lst In
slant. II was the report of one Of Mr.. By
NUNS speeches in the which. that little Hot
spur and Madcap from North Carolina,
made some illusions of personal nature,
such for example as calling some of the OPP.
ponents ofthe Administration ssbullies," &c
MIR. Jenifer was alluded to by Mr.. Bynum,
though not at the knowledge of Mr.. Jenifer
at the time the remark were made. For
the sake of his friends, Mr.. Jenifer said he
would state the character of the relations
existing between him and the member from
N. c.; they were of a character that would
not allow him to take notice of the men,
Der. From the 7th Of June 1896, a day that
Mr.. Bynum will not forget, have purposely
abstained taking any notice of that man;
have avoided having any collision with him,
because holding him in the estimation do,
/ could not be upon terms Of intercourse
with him. MIR. Bynum made a brief but
humble reply. When he used the word
bully, he only meant sspolitical champion -
In regard to the 7th Of June, 1886, he
thought that matter terminated as honora-
bly, for him as for the gentleman from Mary
land. Mr.. Stanley, to whom Mr.. Bynum
had before g. now alluded to. though not in
open terms, made reply. He demanded
if his colleague meant to apply the often.
sive epiihet of bully TO him, and TO ex-
plain in what sense he used it. Upon the
character Of the answer he had to make,
would depend the remarks he should offer
in reply. Mr.. Bynum reluctantly said that
he did not mean to use the word in an Of
fensiye sense. He but spoke politically.
But, said he, my colleague may put any
other construction upon my remarks he
chooses. 81 shall do so, said Mr.. Stanley,
"and will remind the House that l have
before now personally insplted that member,
and that have said should hold anv mem
her personally accountable who would in
troduce me TO him.
Here, Mr.. Bynum, much excited, remark
ed, eff we ars to have quarrel, let us have
it in the rotunda; will meet the gentleman
ihere!" (Great confusion. } Mr., Stanley
then told the House Of speech he had
made at the las. session Of Congress, in
which, though he had then said all the Bit
ter things he could think Of, the member
bore it without daring to say word in vim
dication of himself
Here the contest terminated, although
the effects of it will be seen some time 10
come. 1t will lead, however, to no person

The senate to-day was in session ill a late
hour. The report, on the assumption of State

tack made by Mr.. Buchanan, OF Pa. on a pre-
yious day, upon his speech, published. Mr..
DAVIS speech appears, hike Mr.. BIS in pamph-
le, form.
Mr.. Buchanan had occasion, in the course
OF his remarks, to declare his sentiments with
much warmth on the subject Of banks and the
currency. He reiterated the views taken in
his speech and those in his former speeches
on The subject. But no one who has attended
10 these matters is ignorant that Mr.. b. has
taken a moderate course, and thai he is in ia
