A Question of Privilege.
WASHINGTON, June 28.-Valentine, rising
to a question Of privilege in the House,
yesterday, said hat some days ago the gen.
tleman from New Jersey, McAdoo, had
taken occasion to print, as part OF his re-
marks, a very long dispatch sent from this
city to New York. 1t contained the names
of our native land m%onopolists, saying the
full list would fill every page of the paper.
In the list Of names as printed in the
Record to-day appeared the name of Sena-
tor John A. Logan as owning $1,000 acres
of land. Senator Logan had called
his (Valentine's) attention to this
to-day, and had desired him to say
to the House, so far as it related
to him, that the statement was absolutely
falss. The only land he owned was his
little homestead in Illinois. The gentle
man from New Jersey had taken occasion,
while he was lauding the Soldiers Land
Bounty bill, to stab one Of the brightest
and most gallant of those soldiers. Loud
applause on the Republican side.
Cannon said the Record did not show
that the gentleman from New Jersey had
obtained leave to print the names, and
therefore the Record on its face had mis-
led the House and the country.
McAdoo continuing, said: The gentle
man from Illinois says he brought the
matter before the House because the Rec
ord had been violated. The gentleman
knew better than that. Ii was not to pre-
serve its integrity; it was not to bring the
Houses attention to a violation OF the
rules; it was simply because the gentle
man found the name Of John A.. Logan in
the list. So far as the question of the
Record was concerned, he believed the
gentleman himself had not delivered his
tariff speech.
Cannon-Nor is it printed in the Record.
McAdoo said that in the Record OF
! April % he found the following: Can
non addressed the committee. His re-
marks will appear hereafter. Did the
Record lie?
Cannon said he would reply in his
own time.
Cannon was on his feet when the hour
Of 5 o'clock arrived, and the Speaker,
amid much merriment, declared the
| House in recess until s O'Clock.
Logan denies the above. He says he
| is only the owner of the land on which
his father died, and to which he had
added a little in his own State OF Hi
nois, and says: II do own some two or
three tracts of land, but all put together
would not make u hundredth part OF
what they charge.
The Speaker stated that the regular
| order was the question of privilege com
| ing over from yesterday, and presented
| by q resolution offered by Cannon, that
| the Record be SO amended as to show
that the speech purporting to have been
| delivered by McAdoo, in which allusion Ii
made to Senator Logan, was not actu-
ally delivered by him.
Cox of New York, after deprecating the
practice Of printing long essays in the
Record, said the present dispute arose
from the publication in the Record of a
newspaper article, stating that Senator
| Logan owned so, 600 acres Of land. 1t has
not been charged that he came by them
| wrongfully. He Cox did not know that
Logan was a dishonest man. What was
| the object of this discussion to-day, except
to prevent an adjournment? In order to
| put an end to the discussion, he moved to
lay the whole matter on the table. Cries
of good, and vote.
The motion was agreed to without dis
cussion.
Congressional Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, June 28.-House-The
Senate amendment to the Legislative
bill wa concurred in.
Horr, of the Committee on Appropia-
tions, reported the Fertilization Appro-
priation bill from the Committee Of the
Whole. Randall, on behalf of the Min
ority Committee, submitted a substitute
thereof with the same reference. The
House then went into Committee OF the
Whole, Springer in the chair, on business
/ reported from the Committee on Labor.
| The first bill considered was one provid-
ing for an adjustment of accounts Of gov
| eminent laborers, workmen, and mechan-
les, arising under the eight-hour law.
lowering, in supporting the bill, said that
| every man who had been forced to work
for the government 10 hours for a days
wages, since the passage of the eight
hour law had been defrauded of
| his legal rights. Tillman, OF South
| Carolina, opposed the bill, and char
acterized il as a claim against the
bill, and declaring it would permit another
raid of $4,000, 600 upon the Treasury, and
not only permit a raid, but create aristo-
cratic labor. Had not the Government
enough patronage already? 1t had caused
the murder of one President, and unless
civil service reform was carried out it
might cause the murder of another. The
bill would demoralize all private labor in
the n~eighborhood where the Government
