mony, kept the House in a roar of laughter and
storm of applause for q quarter of an hour.
After further debate, the committee rose and
reported the bill to the House.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, went into an argu-
ment to show that the charge that Commissioners
Dudley had turned the Pension Bureau into a
partisan machine was true, and read from afada-
Wits and letters on the files of the Pension Bureau.
He then read several afidavits relating to the
Cincinnati election of 1884, showing that soldiera
had been promised pensions and pensioners had
been promised increased pensions by officials OF
the Pension Office, il they would vote the Re-
publican ticket. He referred particularly to
Mr.. Stevenson, and that reference brought MI.
Cannon. of Illinois, to his feet with the remark
that the gentleman from Illinois Mr.. Town
shendl knew Mr.. Stevenson, and he knew
that his reputation was as fair as snow-that ha
was the peer of any man on tie floor.
Mr.. Townshend was proceeding to read fur.
Their when he was interrupted by q chorus Of in
quiries from the Republican side as to the char
acter of the men who made the afidavits. He
replied that lie knew some of them. The affida
Wits were but atoms compared with the cords OF
evidence he could produce.
After much excited talk, o motion to recon.
slider prevailed without further objection.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that in the heal
of debate he had used language towards the gem
tleman from Ohio [Warnerl which he wished to
have omitted from the Record.
Mr. Warner desired to withdraw any objec-
tionable language he might have used.
The Speaker announced the special COMMITTEES
to investigate the facts concerning the owner
ship of the Pan electric telephone stock by cor
tain public officers, as follows: Messrs. Boyle.
Gates. Eden, Hale, Ranney, Willard, Hanback,
and Moffitt.
The House then adjourned.

The Pension Bill Again Affords an OppOrtu-
nifty for Political Orators.
WASHINGTON, March The Speaker laid be-
fore the House a communication from the Sec
tary of War, recommending an appropriation
for extra-duty pay to enlisted mon employed at
Fortress Monroe. Referred.
Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, from the committee on
commerce, presented the views Of the minority
on the bill to incorporate the Atlantic & Pacific
Ship-railway Company. Referred to the COM
mittee of the whole.
1.-THE minority, after detailing the objections
which they have to the bill, say: 1--WE regard
this proposition as one granting a subsidy that
may, and probably will. take from the public
Treasury $37. 500, 900 for the benefit Of a private
corporation, located and to be operated exclu-
sively in a foreign country, without any CORE
spending benefit to our country or ~people.'l
The morning hour being under the control of
the committee on public buildings and grounds,
the following bills were called up and passed:
For a public building at Savannah, Ca, at a cost
not exceeding 5000, 900; extending from 1925. 900
to 1915. 600 the limit of cost OF the public build
ing at Peoria, III.
At the expiration of the morning hour, Mr..
Cannon, of Illinois, moved to lay aside the pen
sion appropriation bill. for the purpose of taking
up the urgent deficiency bill. Mr.. Cannon stated
that the object of his motion was thai the de-
fciency bill might be Immediately passed, in
order that the work at the navy-yards, which had
been stopped, might be resumed, and that the
men who had been thrown out of employment
might again obtain work.
The House refused-yeas. 103; nays, 148-to
proceed to consideration of the deficiency bill,
and went into committee Of the whole-Mr.
Crisp, of Georgia, in the chair-on the pension
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, took the floor In de-
Tense OF Commissioner Dudley against what he
regarded as the unwarranted, unjust and un-
called for attack made upon him. He denied that
Dudley had had anything to do with the con-
gressional election in the district of the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Warner.) and he also de-
MED the assertion of that gentleman that SIS, 900
had been expended by the Republican commit
tee Of Ohio to compass his defeat. Did the gen.
tleman suppose that the Republican committee
had been 50 anxious 60 keep out of Congress ,
man who had been 30 long and 20 offensive .

l have seen Paris in the height OF its
imperial splendor, all gilt and tinsel, saw
dust and spangles, when the court was
debauch and the government was stock

could live the fastest; l have seen 1t in
the dust and ashes Of national disaster,
newly come out OF the valley of death,
vet wet with blood and tears; and l have
seen it q young republic, struggling for
existence against every kind of enemy,
exterior and interior; and with every
change in its fortune it has been the same
old seven -and-sixpence, happy go-lucky,
don care a-cent-for-eXpenses, now-you-

it has been, but not whit diminished in
the wondrous shine and flow of its ami
