Kennedy's Remarks Quoted by En- loe
Will Not bs Expunged.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Despite the order
Of the House yesterday to the public printer
to exclude Kennedy's speech from the per-
manent edition of the Congressional Rec
ord, all that part of the speech describing
Boss Quay as a branded criminal and sec
ond Judas Iscariot will remain embodied In
the archives of the government as a part of
Representative Enloe's remarks. The Tennes-
seean quoted the most Objectionable portion
of Kennedy's speech, and the order to ex-
punge cannot affect his speech. The judi
ciary committee, which reported the reso-
luton, made the fatal mistake of ordering
the Objectionable speech" expunged, and
this limitation applies to Kennedy's utter
ance. This fact was developed when some
of Quay's partisans to-day tried to have the
order applied to the portion quoted by Mr..
Enloe.
Had the word remarks" instead
of speech" been used the portion
quoted by Mr.. Ealoe would have shared
the fate Of the original speech. The pre-
cedent for this construction odcured in the
Fortleth congress when William g. Wun-
gen, than representative from Findley,
O., attacked Charles Sumner. The "speechn
was expunged by the order of the House,
but the order was held not to apply to that
portion of Wungen's remarks quoted by
Representative Dawes of Massachusetts, now
senator from the same state.
1t seems in this connection that a gem
which might otherwise have been
embodied in contemperaneous literature
was lost yesterday by the speakers failure
to recognize humorist John Allen of Miss
isslppi. Mr.. Allen, during the consideration
CT the Kennedy case, desired thirty minutes
in which to vindicate the Senate, but was
refused by the speaker. He was loaded to
the muzzle with jokes and anecdotes which
he intended to fire off at the expense of the
senators, but the speaker couldn't let the
lanyard be pulled.
Later in the day, when the house was in
committee of the whole and the speaker
was out of the chair, Mr.. Allen met him in
the main aisle and in a tone of protest said
"You made mistake in not letting me
have that half hour" "Well, John" said
the speaker, with his yankee drawl, "you
made mistake in not asking for enough
time. 1t would take a week at least, with
night sessions, to vindicate the Senate"

He Narrowly Escapes Death at the
Hands of a Murderous Mob.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25. A Times
Democrat San Antonio special says: A
prominent railway official who reached San
Antonio this morning from the City of
Mexico, and whose large interests in the
neighboring republic render 1t wise for
him 30 be very guarded in what he says,
relates startling story Of an attempt on
the life of President Diaz. The story
in brief is as follows; "During the national
celebration on Sept. IL, an immense crowd
of people of all classes surged around the
executive palace at night to do homage to
President Diaz- During the climax Of the
festivities, while bands were playing and
fireworks were popping and sizzing loudest,
the president accompanied by his personal
staff stepped out onto the front piazza in
response to deafeniag calls to witness the
pyrotechnic display.
A voLLEY OF MUsKETRY.
mo sooner had his martial form ap-
peared on the gallery before volley Of
musketry sounded above the din of music,
fireworks and yells, and bits of brick and
timber began to fly around his head. He re-
treated hurIiedly to his room followed by
his staff. Three bullets whizzed danger
ously near him. Forty men are known 60
have been concerned In the murderous plot,
fifteen of whom are now in jail, and others
are fleeing precipitately from the country,
with the militia on their tracks.
REASON FOR THE ATTACK.
"The news of the dastardly deed has been
suppressed IN Mexico by government Off
GERS. The reason of the attack is assigned
to variety of causes. the most important
one of which is that the president is
strongly suspected of coquetting of
late with the clerical party, which
is in direct conflict politically and socially
with the liberals, to whom President Diaz
owes his power. Mrs. Diaz is devout
Catholic, and several days ago entertained
the archbishop of Mexico in the presidential
palace, which is the first occurrence OF the
kind since the bloody siege of revolution
ended In victory for the Liberal party"

Action OF the Police at Tipperary In
diQnantly Denounced.
DUBLIN, Sept. 25.-The excitement of a
week ago, when the arrests of Dillon and
O'Brien were SO suddenly made, has its
counterpart in the nationalist party to-day
Dispatches from Tipperary describing the
clubbing Of the crowd before tho court
house by the police created profound SEN
sation at the national league headquarters
The action Of the police was denounced as a
gross outrage.
The fact that John Morley is present at
the trial is considered a subject for much
congratulation. 1t is thought that the trial
will afford him more insight to the true
inwardness of the Irish problem. which he
came to Ireland to study for himself, than
weeks of ordinary travel and investigation
He will be able 10 tell the English liberals
with more force than ever what tho Irish
people have to put up with at the hands Of
the police after his rough experience at
Tipperary.
The nationalists are confident that what
ever the outcome of the trial may be, the
brutal police episode and the evident reluo-
tance Of the court to open the doors to the
public, will not increase the popularity Of
Balfour's rule.

Postmaster Wheat Surrenders his
Profits on the Mail Carrying Job.
WASHINGTON. Sept 25-Mr. Enloe's res
olution in the House to-day to investigate
Mr.. Wheat, the republican postmaster of
the House. has created quite a sensation
here. Wheat, it seems, gave out contract
for wagons to deliver the House mail at
$1,000 a year to a contractor here, and
made a private agreement with the con-
tractor that he should return $3.50 month
of this amount The $3.50 has been returned
each month, and Wheat has put it in his own
pocket, it being understood between him and
the contractor that Wheat should got this
amount as perquisite. The contract being
a very fat one. the contractor was willing
to return this amount out of his profits. The
matter leaked out few days ago. and Wheat,
to escape punishment, at once returned the
amount he had received to the clerk of the
House. However, he will be investigated,
and although he has repaid the money the
chances are that he will be turned out. 1t
will, however, not be done until after the
alectiOu.

KIDNAPPED THE COURT HOUSE.
A Lively County Seat War waging
in Colorado.

DENVER, Sept. ga special to the Re-
has been received Of serious tronble between
the towns Of Boston and Springfield in
Baco county. Since Baco county was made
from Los Ammos county by the last general
assembly there has been strife between these
two towns as TO which should have the
county seat The act organizing the county
provided that Springfield should be the
county seat, and at the election held last
fall it is alleged that by manipulation of
ballots it was made the permanent county
seat.
"The people of the town of Boston claim
that Springfield has not the $50, 900 worth
of county property necessary TO prevent
the county seat from being moved by a
majority vote this fall. The only available
building for the county court house was the
hotel building in Boston. A few weeks ago
this was sold at sheriffs sale and
was bought by Springfield parties.
Saturday night a party left Spring
field for Boston with machinery
intending to move the building to the for
mer town and use il as a court house, thus
preventing the county seat issue from being
raised this fall.
CARRIED OFF THE BUILDING.
"Rollers were put under the building,
which is the finest in the county and three
stories high, and twenty teams were hitched
to it. Inside the house were sta
toned twelve men with Winchester
rifles. The building was moved
about five miles toward Springfield,
which is about twenty-five miles from
Boston, when the people OF the latter place
discovered the trick and Immediately or
ganized. All available horses and rifles
were brought into requisition, and pursuit
was made.
A PITCHED BATTLE.
upon overtaking the party they com.
manded a halt, which was answered by q
volley Of shots from the men in the build.
ing. The Boston crowd then fired, and a
force battle ragged, which ended
in the Springfield party be-
ing driven from the building.
Coal oil was then procured and the floors
Of the building saturated, which was set on
fire and entirely consumed.
Great excitement prevails. but owing tc
the isolation of the towns, Springfield being
over fifty miles from Lamar, which Is the
nearest railroad station, news is hard &c
obtain. Several parties arrived here from
Springfield last night and departed hur-
riedly after buying all the cartridges they
