ARLINGTON, ID. u, June lb,-StnaSor
Plum reported from the Committee on
Appropriations the army appropriation
bill.
The same Senator reported from the
Public Lands Committee fayorably, with
amendments, the bill FORGETTING unearned
lands granted to the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad.
Senator ingalls,, rising to question OF
personal privilege, said the senior Senator
sOm Georgia Brown had referred to
his making a characteristic speech on the
bill to refund certain moneys to the State
OF Georgia. That language had escaped
his attention at the time, but the employ
ment of the terms used were offensive,
and he asked if the Senator intended his
remarks as personal and offensive.
"Most certainly not,n said Senator
Brown. "The relations between the
Senator and myself have always been
pleasant"
THAT is sufficient rejoned ingalls,
with icy distinction, son that point"
The Senator then objected to another
statement in Browns speech in which he
said that ingalls, had not come to the
point but went all around it in regard to
the position of Georgia in this money
question.
Are you satisfied" asked ingalls,;
"That you used that language"
That's my distinct recollection" an
swered Brown calmly.
Ingalls,, continuing, said that after the
report was sent to the public printer the
words were deliberately interpolated in the
report of the Senator's speech which falsi-
fed the records and committed a forgery
on the records of the Senate"
This assertion created sensation in
the chamber. Vice-President Edmunds
thought the Senator out of order, and re-
marked that If be had any accusations to
make he must make them in different
way.
THAT language" continued Ingalls,,
"was not uttered in debate, and is sus-
ceptible of an offensive interpretation
A Senator on the Democratic side cried:
"This is shameful. Don't reply, Brown"
Senator Brown, whose face flushed
with excitement, said; 81 decline to
make any reply"
Ingalls,, who remained on his feet looking
fiercely at the Senator from Georgia
81 supposed the Senator would"
"The Senator is out of ORDER" again
said the Chairman.
ingalls, went on to charge that the
changes in the report were in the hand
writing of Brown; he said he was always
willing to submit to the fortune of VIC
tory or defeat, but he was not secure
against partisan arrows that flying foe
might see fit to discharge from the safe
ambush of the printing office.
"While this mode of warfare" he ex-
claimed, "iseminently safe to the one who
wages 1t, it is not satisfactory to the VIC
tim. ltrequires about the same amount OF
| courage that is exhibited by the thug
who waits until his enemies are asleep
| and then stabs them. move that the
language which l have referred to be ex-
| plunged from the record"
Excitement on the Democratic side
continued. Several Senators clustered
around Brown and told him to keep cool.
German objected to the present consid-
| Grafton of the resolution, which accord
ingly went over.
Some other business interviewed. When
it was disposed of, Senator Brown said:
''The motion being objected to, will
not reply now, but l do not intend that
this shall go unchallenged, and will reply
| to the accusations tomorrow"
The excitement then subsidized and the
Senate proceeded with their business.
