OF the audience-their colors, their shapes
their actions, their songs. In the Maine
part Of the lecture the following birds were
introduced; In June at the Cape, the
brown thrush, cuckoo. Maryland yellow
throat. redstart. cat bird. cedar bird In No

closed by original lines In blank verse, pic

A hearing before the judiciary committees

Let me, therefore, now ask ell persons
who shall be solicited to sign remonstrant
petitions to consider carefully what we now
ask for. 1t is municipal suffrage for which
we petition. 1t granted by the legislature 1t
can be Withdrawn by any succeeding legis

ORDERED TO HIS SEAT.
The Speaker DecIInee to Allow In
discriminate Discussion.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-In the House
today after the journal was approved, Mr..
Cooper OF Indiana. rising to a question Of
privilege, had read a resolution offered by
him September A, making certain charges
against the commissioner of pensions, and
asking fof a broadening Of the investigation
Of that official. He had offered a resolution
directing the investigating committee to re-
port the resolution.
Mr.. Cooper was several times interrupted
by Republicans, on the ground that he was
not addressing himself to the point Of order.
3 1.-The Speaker finally directed MIR. Cooper to
resume bis seat.
MIR. Cooper courteously complied with the
request.
Kansas, but Mr.. Bland Of Missouri, was on
his feet demanding the reading of the rule
under which the gentleman from Indiana
was required to resume his seat. The rule
having been read, Bland acting under one of
the paragraphs Of the rule, moved that the
gentleman from Indiana be permitted to pro-
ceed.
Mr.. BANDS motion was lost. The Speaker
then ruled that the resolution offered by Mr..
Cooper was a privileged one and overruled
the point Of order against it.
Mr.. Cooper proceeded to advocate his res
oluton and to attack the administration of
the pension bureau, criticizing the action of
John Raum, son OF the commissioner.
Mr.. GrOsvenor Of Ohio, said there had not
been smell of fire of corruption on the
skirts Of Green B. Raum Before the gentle
man from. Indiana was old enough to know
the difference between the American flag
and the Confederate symbol. Green b.
Raum had shed his blood in the defence OF
his country" IDerisiye laughter on the
Democratic, side. 1.-The time seems to
have come" said Mr.. Grosvenor, "when 1t
was not safe for a man, If he wished to be
treated respectfully, to refer to the Ameri-
can f1ag."
Mr.. Cooper said he had never learned that
the American flag was the symbol to be used
for shielding anybody from inves-
tigation. The matter was settled
amicably by Mr.. Morrill, obtaining the crigi-
nal resolution from the files of the House,
reporting 1t from his committee and having
It referred to the committee on rules. The
House then went into committee of the
whole on the naval appropriation bill.
There was general debate ON the bill,
participated In by Messrs. Herbert, McA1oo,
Adams of Illinois, and Lodge. The latler's
criticisms of the bill was that 1t did not go
far enough in its provisions. No subject OF
appropriation by Congress vas of more di-
rect benefit to the people than proper appro-
priations for the navy and for harbor and
coast defences.
The bill was takeu up by paragraphs for
amendment, but without making any prog
ress the committee rose and the House at
