he hoped that III this House tbe;r

national honor and national saiefv
There was no division, and lie an.
pesled to his friends to help restore
the old sentiment Of honor and adj,
mirstion for the navy, which couli
not be restored until the flag was
put afioat upon the seas and the
country was ready TO defend i.
Not till then could the country te
exempt from that danger and hu-
initiation which is ever present 10
every nation which was not pre-,
pared by physical means to defend
its hOner.
Randall, in reply, said that no enc
on the Democratic side, and no one
who sympathized with that party,
was responsible for the paralysis Of
the navy, or was guilty Of neglec-
in that particular. The Senate
amendments to the naval appropri-
alton bill increased the apprOpris-
tons over $500 600 OF this 81
000. 600 was for monitors and 3 500.~
900 for a feet Of cruisers. Ths.
amendment was substantially the
bill on the Speakers table. He
suggested that wisdom dictated
that the House should not enter or
the building Of more cruisers on
this bill, when there was a bill on
the same subject pending in the
naval committee, waving construc
ton until it was known whether
the cruisers already authorized
would be complies success; an
other item of increased apprOpria-
ton was SOS. 600 for ordnance When
opportunity offered and time allowed
ne was willing to discuss the subject
very fully whether the navy depart
ment was q proper department TO be
entrusted with that amount o.
money. The committee in asking
the House to dissent from these
amendments, although the business

During Resd's reply to Randall
the gaYel fell anu Randall rose.
Dorsheimer interrupted him to say
the gentleman had prom sea to yield
to him fifteen minute. Randall
denied having made any such agree
ment faying be had prOmised to
yield the gentleman such time SIS be
could, dependent upon the time con-
sumed by Reed and Calkins. Qlite
an angry dispute arose between the
gentlemen upon this point,
in the course of which
Randall said the gentleman
from New York did not understand
him ss yielding fifteen minutes.
"When 1t comes to that" said DORIS
heimer, angrily, II say that did ;;
"and 1 say you did not" retOrted
Randall. 81 put nay word against
yours. and will let the Honse Judge
of it," continued Dorsheimer. 81
say this" replied Randall, "that
when the gentleman took the floor l
said to the chairman that yielded
five minutes. and that fact all around
here know" Dorsheimer, "that
did not hear, but whenI left the
gentleman he gave me the assur-
snee [ should have fifteen minutes,
and again I repeat, I put my Word
against his"
Henley corroberated Randslis

confusion the committee rose, pend
