ALMOST A FIGHT.
Between Representatives Cobb
and Finerty in the Cloak Room
of the House.

Special to the Sentinel.
WAsHISGToN, Jan. 27.-To-day while the
Houte journal was being read, Rep
resentatives Cobb and Finerty
engaged in conversation touch
ing dynamite, and becoming interested
they proceeded to the cloak room. There the
conversation passed rapidly from animation
to anger, and attracted the attentio1 of sew
eral members who formed group about the
disputsnts. Fortunately Sergeant.at.
Arms Leedom came up just as
they were about to pass from
words to blows and exercising his authority,
compelled the now thorough y-angered
rair to break and retire to their respective
corners" They both shortly disappeared
and could not be found. This gave rise to
reports that they had placed the matter
in the hands of friends and that duel was
imminent, as it is known that both will
fight. The Sentinel correspondent, however,
saw Finely, who said the quarrel was i'm
personal and would go no further as il
would be foolish to fight over such a matter.
To the Associated Press
to-day, a number OF the members were dis
cussing the recent explosions in London.
The discussion took place in ihe cloak-room
on the Democratic side. Among those
presene were Representatives Cobb
and Finerty. The former expressed
himself as strongly opposed 10 the means
resorted to by Irlshmen 10 effect the result
desired,
Mr.. Finerty replied that under the cir.
cumstances the explosions in London we're
justihable. 1t was the only way in which
the Irish could gain their cause.
You claim ii to be justlfsble,n said Mr..
Cobb. "Justifable when the lives OF inno-
cent women and children sre jeopardized.
If you look upon it in that light you are not
humane"
~ am humane, sir" retorted Mr.. Fin.
nerty. "As humane as you are, and / am
damned sight more so. l wish those people
would be blown to h-ll."
The dispute ended at this. Both men,
bers were considerably agitsted but con-
trolled themselves and confined their dis
pute TO words.
