Censured.

had Just risen to speak in opposition to a
motion by Funston, OF Kansas, to strike
out the duty on lead ore, when a row
broke out between Bayne, of Pcnnsyl-
vania. and Bynum, OF Indiana, who rep
resents Harrison's district Bynum had
denounced an ex-democratic labor man
named Campbell, who had circulated
false reports about him, as q liar and n
perjurer. Baync introduced n letter from
Campbell, retortinR upon Bynum
and he shouldered Campbelrs charges.
There was hot and heavy fight
for seven hours over a resolution of CEN
sure offered by Cutcheon of Michigan,
and at 1880 il was carried by a vote of
1876 to l04. When Bynum came to the bar
Of the house TO be censured he was ac-
companied by the entire democratic; men,
bership, the members standing before the
bar on each side of him. After Reed had
censured him and ordered him discharged
from custody, Bynum defiantly declared:
"And accept the censure of the house as
a decoration of honor"
Bynum was one of the bravest and most
vigorous of the democrats who opposed
Reeds attempt TO rob the house of its
privilege and to count a quorum of the
silent minority. The speaker and his
side have hated him. II they fancy they
have hurt him at home they are mistaken.
II is not altogether certain that the vote of
censure of tonight will not make Bynum
speaker of the next congress.

WASHINGTON, May IA conference
was ordered on the senate antitrust bill.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill.

mittee would proceed as promptly as pos
sible to act upon the amendments offered
by the committee on ways and means.
Then other gentlemen who had substan-
tial benefits to offer might be recognized.
Mcmillan, of Tennessee, declared that
the manner i'm which this bill was being
considered was fair neither to the house
nor the tax payers OF the country. II was
utterly impossible to consider and debate
on the bill carefully i'm the few days al
lowed by the rigorous rule reported by the
committee on rules.

pending amendment which fixes the duty
at sixty cents per square yard and forty
per cent ad valorem OH Oriental, Berlin

committee on ways and means brought in
a bill providing for n drawback, not of 30
per cent. but 100 per cent.

Sweeney of Iowa was recognized by the
chair.

should be recognized.

nized to-day IL democrats and seven re-
publicans.
Sweeney remarked that the democratic
party of Ohio was friend of the Stand
ard Oil company.
Outhwaite challenged the gentleman to
show what legislation the democratic
Ohio legislature had ever passed for the
benefit of the Standard Oil company.

Oil company legislated the democratic
senator into the United States senate.

waite offered an amendment to the draw
back paragraph providing rebate not be
paid on tin used i'm transportation OF pc
troleum or coal oil rejected 96 to 10t'.
