Senator Call Gets Hot and Use
ROuuh Language.


Rough Language.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The senate
to-day had another animated discussion
of the charge that Mr.. Call had inter-
polated remarks in the official report of
the proceedings of the senate, and con-
sidered the educational bill. A number
of unimportant measures were passed.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr.. Chandler, censuring MIR. Call, was
taken uD. and Mr.. sherman moved its
reference to the committee on privil-
e. es and elections. Mr.. Call stated, as
a matter of personal privilege. that the
Washington Post contained an article
this morning with headlines, "CalPs
bitter remarks. He slipped para
graph INTO the Congressional Rec
ord" That. Mr.. Call said, was
the Congressional Record nothing that
had not been. in substance, uttered on
the floor of the senate. He gave notice
to the senator from New Hampshire. who
had arraigned him by the resolution,
that he (Mr. CALI would arraign him
(Mr. Chandler) before the senate. and
would demand an investigation by the
committee for making an accusation
that was untrue. He (Mr. CalD
WOULD CONVICT THE SENATOR
on evidence of his OWL that he did hear
and know that he (Mr. CalD had uttered
on the floor of the senate substantially
the whole of the charge contained in
the paragraph. He would not ask the
censure by the senate of the senator
from New Hampshire. but he would
leave the just judgment of public opin-
ion throughout the country for having
heard his mir. Call's) remarks and hav-
ing had neither the courage
nor the manhood to resent
them. MIR. Sherman declared that
the rules of the senate had just
been violated by the senator from Flor
ida liz as gross manner as he had ever
witnessed. When the senate of the
United States came to such condition
that the charge of cowardice could be
applied to senator, and that senator
could be charged with stating a thing
falsely, ii seemed to him that the senate
was receding from the dignity which
had distinguished it from the founda-
ton of the government. Mr.. Calf I
have violated any rule of the senate by
any observations which have made to-
day or formerly, l withdraw them and
apologize to the senate. MIR. Chandler
II will not reply to the gentleman from
Florida this morning in unparlia-
mentary language. The complaint
which made was that the senator had
inserted in his remarks words which he
had not uttered. The senator wrote
language in the report accusing me of
all the
CRIMES IN THE DECALoGUE,
and he has now, this morning, charged
me with being coward for not reply
ing to that which | did not hear, and
tn that which ha Of dc To i,,f
Record report. When the senate has
decided on this stage what language it
is parliamentary to use, l will take oc-
casion to defend myself from all impu-
tatiOnS of the senator from Florida.
The remarks made few minutes ago
by the Florida senator, said Mr. Hawley,
tempt me to say that however much he
may reprOaeh the senator from New
Hampshire for not having responded to
his bitter and personal onslaught, l,
with most of the senators on this side,
would have protested in language as in
digi ant as if it was directed against
them, against that gross violation of
parliamentary law, which he says he
committed the other day, and which [
say he did not. Mr.. Sherman's
motion TO refer the resolu-
ton to the committee on privi-
legeS and elections was agreed to.
The senate then proceeded to business
on the calendar, and the fol owing bill
(among others was passed: Granting
pension of 500 month to the widow
of Major General JudSOn Fitzpatrick:
an amendment to make the pension
Sl66 % had been made By Mr.. McPher-
son and after much discussion had been
rejected. yeas IL, nays SO. The bill was
passed, yeas Sc, nays 2. Mr.. Call Of
fered resolution which was agreed
to calling on the commission of fish and
fisheries for information as to the pro-
duction and gathering of spOngeS in the
United States, and as to the best means
of increasing
THE SPONGE INDUSTRY.
At 2 o'clock the educational bill was
taken up, and MIR. Coke addressed the
senate in opposition to it. He said the
bill violated the constitution, and as a
measure of policy was unwise and mis-
chieyOuS. If the common school sys-
tenn could be taken in charge
by the national government there
was no subject of state jurisdiction
that would not be brought under the
power of congress. AS to the school
facilities of the South, Mr.. Coke said
they were being enlarged every day.
Mr.. Stanford spoke in favor of the bill.
II proceeded. he said, on the right prin-
ciple. Illiteracy was conceded. as was
also the fact that some of the states
could not meet the question. Federal
aid. therefore. became necessary. Uni
versal education would obliterate dis
tinctions. The education of the masses
would demonstrate the beneficial effects
of the power of production and increase
the respect for labor and make more
general the conception of it's dignity.
Mr.. Reagan obtained the floor. He will
speak tomorrow. House amendments
to the senate bill amending the act for
bridging the Mississippi river at Clin-
ton. To-, were concurred in. After brief
secret session, the senate at o'clock
