Mr.. Mckinley offered a long amendment
TO the internal revenue clause (mainiy of
an administrative characteD which was
ordered to be entered in the Record and
went over until Monday.
This disposed Of the committees amend
ments.
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, sent to the
clerk desk and had read a letter from
James Campbell. of PittSburg, denying
the statements rejecting on his character
made a few days since by Messrs. Bynum,
of Indiana, and Wilson, of West Virginia.
The chair allowed the letter to 20 on
record, ruling that the gentleman who
presented II was responsible for it.
Mr.. Funston. of Kansas, offered as an
amendment to the metal schedule a pro-
visO that silver ore and all other ores con
tanning lead shall pay dnty of - cents
according to sample and assay at the port
of entry. Mr. Funston earnestly advocated
the adoption of his amendment, declaring
that the provision of the bill would de
stroy the smelling interests of the coun-
try.
Mr. Bynum then claimed recognition on
question of personal privilege relating to
the Campbell letter. The chair was in
clined to think that the letter did not pre-
sent a matter of personal privilege.
Then enSucd a scene of uproar Mr..
Bynum endeavOred to proceed but he was
shouted down by the Republican side.
Mr. Bayne added to the confusion by eX-
claiming at the top of his voice that a gen
tleman for whom ne had the highest re-
Spect had been charged with forgery and
he wanted TO present the letter in his de
fense.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, shouted
ont 20 the chairman that ii was not fair TO
silence the man who had been publicly
attacked ana let the man speak who had
made himself sponsor of the Slanderer and
stood IN the shoes of a Sl&uderer.
Amid intense confusion, excitement
laughter and shouts of louder" Mr. Bayue
was heard TO eNclaim that Campbell was
the equal IN every respect to the member
from Kentucky and Mr. Breckenridge to
assert that he had no doubt the member
from Pennsylvania took the man as his
standard of manhood.
Mr. Cannon. of Illinois. said that the
revenue bill was under consideration.
Mr. MillS-Ihere il "A slander under con
sideratiOn.
Mr. Bynum complained that the chair
had stopped him and allowed the gentle
man from PENNSYLVANIA TO 90 on. The
chair stated that he had not permitted the
gentleman from Pennsylvania TO proceed
The chair had done the best he could TO
prevent the gentlemen from PENNSYLVANIA
4 L IL
they did The chair had done all he could
ana was not responsible for the gentlemen
proceeding out of order.
Mr.. Cannon made the point of order that
when the committee was acting under a
rule of the house il was not in order 50
allow gentlemen TO wash their dirty linen
against the rule of the house. Loud
Democratic cheers and cries for order.
The chair was OF the opinion that II was
question OF personal privilege and over
ruled the point of order.
Mr.. Mckinley thought that it was in
the interest of fair play to allow the gen
tleman from Indiana to proceed, no matter
what the rules might be
After half an hours uproar Mr. Bvnum
got the floor amid comparative quiet and
said that the Campbell affidavit was to the
effect that Mr.. Wilson and ne had said
that SIS month was enough for any
plaSS-blower. In his district where he was
known the affidavit had not been circu-
lated. but it has been circulated in Mr.
Wilson'S district. He had Jelegr8phed 10
the West Virginia papers Cenouncing
Campbell as liar and periurer. Since the
gentleman from Pennsylvania constituted
himself the sewer through which the at
tack of Campbell made its way into the
Record
Mr.. Cheadle, of Indiana, made the point
