HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr.. Cook, from the conference committee
on the dlsagreoing votes on the bill providing
for police court In tho District Of Columbia,
made a report, which was concurred In.
Mr., Fitch, Of Nevada, rising 70 9 personal
read, q correspondence published In the New
York EUening Poet, In which the former static
monts were reiterated, and the authority Of
| General Butler claimed for the second state
| mont.
Mr.. Fitch called upon the chairman Of the
committee Mr.. Butlorl TO state whether the
statement was correct.
Mr.. Butler said the statement was not cor
rect and he desired leave OF the House to state
why Il was not correct aud why the commit
tee had not reported TO the House. He was
proceeding to speak Of the press OF business
when he was interrupted by
Mr.. Bingham, Of Ohio, who said there was
not word before the committee duplicating
the gentleman from Nevada.
Mr.. Butler. In no case has there been evil
dcncc that lmpugns the integrity Of any mem
/ Der of the House. There was evidence to
show that approaches had been made, but
Mr.. Eldrldgc Of Wiz, rose TO the point Of
order, that the gentleman Mr. Bullcrl had
no right TO disclose what occurred In commit
tee.
The Chair sustained the point Of order.
Mr.. Fitch, TO Gen. Butler.) Is there any
evidence before the committee TO directly or
indirectly lmplcatc INC In the matter?
Mr.. Butler. Certainly not.
Mr.. Mccormick put the same question to
Mr. Butler as regards himself.
Mr.. Butler said there had been no testimony
TO show that the action Of any member Of the
| House had not been perfectly correct
Mr.. Fitch said he did not know and had
never seen N b. Taylor, and II there was any
testimony before the committee that N II.
Taylor had offered him bribc It was false
He felt some dclcacy in tho step he was
| taking but this correspondent had put forth
| a slandcrous communication, and In the face
Of Its contradiction had put forth another
Islander, aud he would move that the CORE
spondent Of the New York EpcninJ Post be
expelled from the rcportefS gallery Of the
House.
l n
| In writing, with the name Of the correspond
cnt, be sent TO the Clerks desk.
Mr.. Fitch said II had been suggested by
those around him having moro experience
that the proper form TO put his motion In
was that tle reporter be brought To the bar
Of the House 70 chow cause why he should
ieetIn,, a,is,n members OF the House.
MT. Woodward, OF Pennsylvania, did not
think reporters should be allowed to Islander
members with immunity. H. however, one
| was TO be brought before the House there
were others WHO should also be brought be-
M. Sargent said the whole question was
whether the correspondent had not fully
| alandercd member Of the House, and II he
had done so, and without proper cause or cx-
/ cuse, he should be at once deprived Of all
| privileges he enjoyed In the gallery.
Mr.. Butler said the subcommittee on judi
