tenests directly in the teeth of the
policy that this government has as
serted to De vital to it. If he didn't
mistake the temper of the House 1t
would declare war rather than see
the Nicaragua rOu pass out of the
control OF the government. He ex-
tended his admiration at the action
OF Democratic senators in voting for
the appropria' ion for new vessels and
for proper ordnance and he hoped
that In this the House record might
at the proper time show when 1t came
to the question of national honor and
national safety there was no division
and he appealed to his friends t. help
restore the old sentiment of honor
and admiration for the navy which
could not be restored until the flag
was put afloat upon the seas and the
country was ready to defend it with
Its blood. He wanted the new ves-
sells to be furnished with guns and
the country to be exempt
from that danger of humiliation
which Is ever present to every
nation which was not prepared by
blood and physical means to defend
its honor.
Randall in reply said no one on the
Democratic side and no ono who
sympathizes with that party was re-
spOnsible for the paralysis OF the ma
w or was guilty of neglect in that
particular. The Senate amendments
to the naval bill increased the appro-
priations over six millions and half.
Ofthis, two millions was fol mOni-
tors and $25, ,O0O, 900 for steel cruisers.
The amendment was substantially to
the bill on the speakers table. He
suggested that wisdom dictated to
the House that it should not enter
on the building of more cruisers on
this bill when there was bill on the
same subject pending with the naval
committee, whether the cruisers all
ready authorized would be q COM
pleto success. Another item increas-
ing the appropriation was $88 900 for
ordnance. When the opportunity
offered and time permitted he Was
willing to discus that subject very
fully whether the navy departm. Mt
was the proper department to be in-
trusted with that amount of money.
During Reeds reply to Randall the
D0Dheimer interrupted him to say
the gentleman (RandaiU had prom~
ised to yield 10 him fifteen minutes.
Randall denied having made any
such agreement and said he had
promised to yield to the gentleman
such time as he could dependent
upon the time consumed by Reed
and Calkins. Quite an energetic dis
pute arose between the gentlemen
upon this point, in the course of
which Randall said: 1.-The gentleman
from New York didn't understand
mo ss yielding him fifteen minutes"
"When 1t comes to that" said Dor
sheimer, aDgrlly, II say that did"
And 1 say you didn't" retorted
Randall.
II put my word against yours and
let the House judge Of it," continued
Do1fbey 4&is," replied Randall, ''that
when the gentleman took the floor,
l said to the Chair that l yielded i've
and that fact all around
here Knows"
Dorsheimer-''That I didn't hear,
but when left tie gentleman gave
fifteen minutes, and again I repeat l
put NY word against his"
Henley corroborated Randalps
statement, and amid great deal of
confusion the committee arose. Pend
ing . vote on the limitation of the
debate as to when the House should
again 90 into committee of the whole,
the House took recess until eight this
evening, session for debate on the
tariff bill.
At the evening session of the House
Adams, of New York, occupied the
chair.
Yaple made a strong argument in
favor of the Morrison bill. That the
labor-degrading, monopoly-breeding
protective system shall be superseded
by tariff for revenue only was, he
c0ntended. demanded by the best in
terests of the nation. The U. =. was
not afraid of England's cannon. why
should it be afraid of her work shops
and factories. Adjourned.
