Worked Up Over Kennedy.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The Republic
Cans are again in desperation, this time
over Kennedy's attack on Quay and there
are rumors that Kennedy will be GEN.
sured. 1t is rather late for this now,
however, as Burrows should have called
him down yesterday. There
are rumors, too, that the
Democrats will introduce @
resolution of censure with the expecta-
ton that Kennedy would defend himself
in the attack of Quay and further entan-
gle the Republicans. Kennedy says he
Will not withhold his remarks. The
Pennsylvania members held q meeting
to-day for the purpose of introducing
resolution expurging the matter
from the record, but as Kennedy
withheld his remarks for revision
this step was not taken to-day. Mr..
Quay has not decided what he will do.
There is some talk of a resolution in the
senate critic sing the house for its failure
to call Kennedy to order, but as it is
nothing has been done.
AMOS CUMMINGS
made running and telling speech in the
house to-day on the recent blacklist of
Cannon, in which he lambasted the
speaker and the committee on rules in
particular, comparing the former to
Julius Cesar and the latter to the trium-
virate which surrounded that ancient
ruler, in words more forcible than select.
TRYING TO CHAMBER FROM THE MIRE.
Congressman Smyser of Ohio, has
covered himself with mud in his efforts
to Chamber out of the mire in which his
possession of large block of universal
refrigerator stock placed him. He has
told conflicting and irreconciliable
stories. His inharmonious statements
are liable to result in his beng
handled before the investigating COM
mittee to explain himself. Smyser
privately told Flowers of the committee,
that he had not paid one penny for his
stock, and he testified before the COM
mittee that he paid $500 for his interest.
He will probably be called upon to eX-
plain this falsehoOd. If he can not.
there will probably be some rafting of
dry bones.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. D. Hunter of Texas
are at the Shoreham.
The Raum Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Before the
special house committee investigating the
charges against Pension Commissioner
Raum this morning Mr.. Lewis, the only
Democratic member of the committee
present, said MIR. Cooper would not be
present, and as Mr.. Goodnight, his col
league, was not in Washingto he was
in an embarrassing position and would
like the committee to adjourn until MIR.
Goodnight's return. The COMMITTEES
showed some Impotence at the failure of
Mr.. Cooper to be present, and after
some discussion Judge Wilson, speaking
for his party, did not care to proceed in
Mr.. Cooper's absence. Mr.. Cooper, he
said, had been industriously circulating
charges against his client in newspapers
while refusing to MAINTAIN them before
the commission. Now he wanted the
commission to subpoena Cooper so he
could be put on the stand to tell what he
knew. The commission wanted him
present, and he (Wilson) wanted him as
a witness. Mr.. Cooper had no right to
traduce q reputable business man occu-
plying the relations he did to the commits
sion and stay away from the committees
sessions, and all these things be oircu-
lated all over the world. Finally an
order was made for subpoena for Mr..
Cooper and also requesting him to be
present with his witness and evidence
next Monday, to which day the commits
sion adjourned.
