Reed Vince.
WASHINGTON, July 90 -"I guess I'll have
to resign" drawled Speaker Reed to
group of republicans in the speakers lobby
this afternoon. THAT is, il those fellows
don't defeat me in my district. "He did
not say whether 'those fellows" meant the
democrats or the Blaine men. Speaker
Reed smiled as he said this, but it was his
wicked smile, for he was speaking Of the
severe, but well merited, criticism upon his
admistration made by Mr.. Struble. one of
the best men on the republican side, in open
House, to the applause not only Of the demo-
Gratis but few manly republicans, includ-
Mr.. Milliken of Maine, Mr.. Connell of
Nebraska, aud others of the Iowa delega-
ton.

of many other republican members who did
not dare to even applaud its utterance by a
brave man. Speaker Reed felt it keenly as
the worst blow he has yet received, and his
manner showed it as he tried to smile at the
sympathetic remarks Of those republicans

MAY HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
Mr.. Struble's revolt may have serious

his lieutenants to say that Mr.. Struble is a
sorehead, who was defeated for renomina-

bill a chance Mr.. Struble would have
been renominated if it had not been that

miscalculation and gave up the fight
when Mr.. Struble was practically nomi-
mated.
DETAILS OF THE ONSLAUGHT.
(Bv the associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 29.-In the House
this morning Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, from
the committee on appropriations,r reported a
joint resolution providing temporarily
until Aug. la for such expenditures of the
government as have not been provided for
by the approximation bills which have
already become laws. The resolution was
passed.
The House then went into committee Of
the whole, with Mr.. Burrows in the chair,
on the Senate amendments to the sundry

ment being on appropriating $780, 900 to
enable the Secretary Of the Treasury

tional accommodation for the government
| printing Office.
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee moved con-
currence In this amendment, pointing out
the unsafe condition of the present building
and its lack of proper accommodation, and
predicting dire calamity in case fire should
| ever break out In the structure
| Mr.. Cannon of Illinois said that the COM
| mittee on appropriations had recommended
| non-concurrence in the amendment because
it had no place on an appropriation bill. 1t
might be that new building for the print
! ing office was necessary. but it was a prop
| osition which should come from the com.
mlttee on public buildings and grounds and
not be tackled on an appropriation bill.
ALLEN SEEKS INFORMATION.
Mr.. Allen of Michigan inquired whether
| the building was such as to Insure the safety
of its occupants.
Mr.. Cannon replied that he had heard OF
the insecurity Of the building for the last
! eighteen years, and it was his opinion that
was given credit of being. II
might be that new building was
| necessary, but the matter should
be investigated little before an appropria-
| ton was made When an angler put nice
live bug on his hook and went after bass the

| swallowed.
Mr.. Russell of Connecticut and Mr. Dun
| nell of Minnesota advocated the motion tc
concur, believing it to be the duty of the
United States to provide for the safety Of
its employees.
CUMMINGS ADVOCATES CONCURRENCE.
Mr.. Cummings of New York also advo-
Gated concurrence in the amendment.
Mr.. Struble of Iowa said that he was in
favor of suitable buildings for every execu

| rose so speak on the question of public
| buildings as represented in the calendar
upon which were thirty-five bills passed by
| committee of the whole, May 20, not one OF

by the speaker of the House. He wanted to
say (and he regretted that the speaker was
not here to hear HIM that he felt it an out
rage on the judgment Of the House
that any one, speaker or member
should undertake to say that the House
should have no opportunity to carry out
that judgment. He had been a member of
congress more than seven years, and he had
labored earnestly to discharge his duties.
A COMPLIMENT TO CARLISLE.
He represented Sioux City, Ia, during
democratic ascendency in the House, and
had the speaker recognize him to move the
passage of a bill for the erection of public
building in that city. and twice had the
bill passed 1t had been the pleasure
of the President TO veto the measure. He

Carlisle that he had never asked for recog-
milton from that officer that he had not been
treated courteously. He wanted to place in
contrast with the kind treatment Of Speaker
| Carlisle the treatment of the present
speaker, not only toward himself.
but other members of the House.
If the speaker had not sneered at them and
ridiculed them he had come near doing so.
