WASHINGTON CITY, July 2i.--The house
Monday insisted on it's disagreement In the
senate amendment to the presumption repeal
bill, and Morrison reported concurrent
resolution providing for adjournment on
the 18th inst A night session was held and
bill passed providing for the issue of
postal notes in money order offices for sums
less than 50, at a fee of cents
Tuesday, Hatch of Missouri, rising to
question of privilege, sent to the clerks
desk and had read an extract from speech
made in the senate Monday by Senator In
gals to the effect that more shameful
spectacle was never presented to the Amer
lean people than the oleomargarine bill,
supported in the other house under the lead
ership of the chairman of committee who
is himself engaged in the dairy business,
who has herd and a farm whose product
he sells in the market and upon
which he relies for support etc,
etc. Mr.. Speaker" said Hatch, "every
gentleman on the floor will agree with me
that the reference to me as the chairman of
the committee on agriculture Of the house
of representatives by senator in dis
cussion of bill that passed this house is in
violation OF every parliamentary rule, and
in violation of every manly and decent in
stinct that ought 10 actuate member of
either OF these houses The respect which |
have for this house and its members alone
deters.. me from characterizing this attack as
it ought 10 characterized desire to state
that when this gentleman connects my name
with that of the senator from New York
Miller who was present, had the rights
and privileges of the floor, and could defend
himself-in the statement that | am per.
sonally interested in the passage of the
oleomargarine bill, and that l derive my
support, or any part Of it from the product
of herd of cows on my farm, it is simply
a complete and gratutous falsehood. There
is no truth in it and no foundation for it.
Hatch regretted that he was not the owner
of dairy farm in Missouri He had no other
interest in the bill than had every consumer
OF butter. The charge that he was person.
ally interested was falsehood; the charge
that he had descended to vulgarities and
personalities, was the greatest falsehooi of
the life of the man who uttered it He was
not in the habit of descending to vulgarities
and personalities. He left that to flow from
the mouth OF the senator from kansas
that womb of SANDER and detractioun
On motion of Crisp of Georgia senate
bills were passed for the construction of
bridges across the Tennessee and Cumber-
land rivers. The senate amendments to the
naval appropriation bill were none
Cured in and Herbert, Hunt, and Harmer
were appointed conferees- The river and
harbor appropriation bill was reported by
Willis of Kentucky, with the recommended
ton to non. concur in the amendments, but
on point of order by Hepburn of Iowa
was referred to the committee of the
whole
Hewitt of New York reported resolution
calling for correspondence relating to the
Mexican treaty; adopted The house then
went into committee of the whole on the
amendments to the river and harbor bill
