citing scene in the house this afternoon.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, had made
speech on the tariff bill charging that it
was sired by lobbyists representing the
monopolists of the country. Mr.. Haskell
sprang to his feet, denouncing the state
ment as false, and that the man who made
such charge he believed uttered what he
knew to be deliberate falshood. Mr..
Townshend replied in half apologize way
saying he was merely repeating what
had been stated in the Republican press,
and meant to say that the committee had
been influenced by the interests mentioned
perhaps unconsciously, but at least
influenced. Then he wanted to know if
Haskell meant to call him liar. Haskell
asked him to repeat his statement that he
might be sure what it was. Townshend did
so, whereupon Haskell repeated that the
statement was false. Townshend again in
sisted on knowing whether that meant a
personal allusion, whereat there were
groans and shouts of laughter on the Re-
publican side. Kasson, getting the floor,

tinction in such a case as this, and that the
charge doubtless applied to the statement.
Townshend made another attempt to get a
statement from Haskell, but was talked and
groaned down, and the storm blew over.
