Not to Mr.. Ingalls,.
AGAIN IN THE HOUSE,
Reports of Trouble Among the Rec

WASHINGTON BUREAU The OMAHA BEB, I

WASHINGTON. D. O., May y.
This was day of apologies in congress,
While MIR. Voorhees, of Indiana was in the
senate emphasizing that his apology for his
unjusttiyable language last week was duo
to the senate of the United States mot I'd
Mr.. Ingalls), in the house Mr.. Woodburn Of
Nevada was reiterating to MIR. Bryce of New
York that the latter's father-in-law, Abraut
S. Hewitt, was guilty of the basest duplicity,
and that it would take stronger evidences
than the statement Of Mr.. Bryce or Mr..
Hewitt over their names, and also more evi-
dence than a statement from the British min-
ister to prove that Hewitt did not apologize
to the British minister for having introduced
resolution IN the forty-eighth congress re-
flecting on the diplomatic branch of the En-
glish government. The apology of Mr..
Voorhees, was not unexpected and MIR. Iu-
gals Immediately upon the convening OF the
senate called to the chair MIR. Harris of
Tennessee, so that he could reply to the
Indiana senator if anything further was
said of last weeks controversy, which was
of personal nature, but he had M
provocatlon to speak. The scene in the
house when Mr.. Woodburn denounced
Abram S. Hewitt for not only duplicity bu4
for fabrication, and when he was reinforceI
by similar statement by Mr.. Brumm, oil
Pennsylvania, who took hand in the Wood.
burn-Bryce controversy in the house on SaH
urday, was exciting, unexpected and created
a good deal OF confusion for q few minuteH
1t is understood that the desire of Mfy
Hewitt, who is now mayor Of the.city Of Ncvs
York, to have his son-in-law put him right
on the record, indicates that the old gentt6S
man expects to be nominated for governor OF
New York state, and that he is clearing thd
deck for action. He sought vindication at
the hands of his son-in-law, but was badly
used up.
CARNATIONS ON THE TARIFF.
The statement which went to the country
this morning from Washington via New
York, to the effect that there is trouble
brewing among republicans in the house oveH
the tariff queston-those from the west dex
manding that substitute for the Mills bil9
be submitted while the eastern members Of
the party oppose it's denounced by thd
members most directly concerned as pupS
fabrication by a free trade organ. The reg
publicans say they will hold a caucus and
confer as to the wisest policy to pursue in
relation to the tariff couple of weeks henceS
and that there is not the slightest hard
feeling entertained on the part of any OF
them; that although most of the republican,
members east and west are anxious for tarif6
reform in moderate degree more than sonle
others, there is not any ground whatever fe4
complaint, and that substitute bill Will
undoubtedly be agreed upon.
1t is said that there is a warm feeling
among some Of the democratic members Of
the house, and that there will undoubtedly
be outcroppings of it at the e'caucus tomorrow
night, when move will be made by the fol-
lowers of Mr. Mills not only to forestall deS
bate under the five minute rule, but the
exact character of the amendments which,
shall be accepted by the democrats in tho
house. The democrats who do not swallow
the entire bill are saying that the members
ways and means have been riding
rough-shod over the entire house, and that
while they are willing to be governed On
general principles by caucus rules, they do
not propose to be bound down by caucus ties
to a certain line of action. While the bill is
under the five minute rule and every conceyr
able character of amendments are being of
fered, they contend that members should be
permitted to protect their local interests and
each one fight for himself until fit advocate
comes.

"You will further say" writes the secretary

of citizens whose cases you report is based
upon the assumption that they are not citi-
| zens of the United States this department
| asks for their immediate release and for
| proper compensation for the losses which,
| they have received by such detention. it
| cannot be admitted that American citizens
not charged with any crime should be de.
| tanned under arrest for even a single day
! after their proofs of citizenship have been,
| presented. In cases like this the United
| States can never admit the propriety of sub
mitting to the ordinary delays of judicial
| action.
