made by Reed, who replied to Holman.
He said: "The gentleman from Indiana,
[Holmanl has today afforded us an ex-
ample OF that unspeakabe cour age which
enables him to face unfiinchingiy situa
tion of this kind. With a Democratic
majority of more than 40, of which he is
the titular leader, the house or representa-
tives has stopped the business of this
government, and now he is endeavoring to
charge it upon somebody else. ILaughter.l
de himself has led, if not overtly, covert
ly, this rebellion against this good govern
ment.
Has the Sanction of the Senate.
"He has deliberately blocked the wheels
Of public business, a d now he charges it
npon Others because they will not permit
him to continue this house in session
when its members are leaving by the invi-
tation of himself and friends so that tine
difficulty of getting quorum under the
wicked rules of this house will prevent
the legislation of the country taking
place. Now, let US see what that legisla-
tion is. 1t is legislation which has not
only received the sanction of the senate OF
the United States, but so far as the point
complained of is concerned, it has received
its unanimous sanction; for if it be true,
las the gentleman from Indiana says, that
this provision is in the bill against the
iuico VI VIC Sehdecs IL ilusI pc tncEc Oc-
cause every Democratic senator on the
floor consented to the transaction.
A Bad One on Holman.
at therefore comes here, not only with
the sanction of the senate, but with the
sanction of every Democrat in it. Further
than that, it has the sanction of a Demo-
cratic house of representatives with 40
majority-a Democratic house of repre-
sentatives in which shat party has ma
jority of to land there is nothing urged
against it except the miserable technicality
not to be in an appropriation bill. And
the gentleman from Indiana was the leader
in forcing the admission into appropriation
bills of items which repealed existing legis-
lation. Aud yet he has the courage to
stand up before this house and before the
country and charge his own action to other
men-charge in house with 40 Demo-
cratic majority the stopping of the public
business to a member of the minority.
Compliments His Courage.
Il do not wonder he has had .. long ca
reer. Courage like that would carry a
man through Indiana to fire. Laughter
and applause.l One hundred ans forty
Democratic majority-three to one-apd
the bill having the sanction of both houses
of every Democrat in the senate and
OF Democrats enough in the house to
make a majority here and now. And yet
the business of the country is to be
stopped and somebody else charged with
the ciime." Applause on the Repub-
lican side

HE ANNOYS THE PRESIDENT.
A Crank Who Should BE Locked Up Be-
fore He NIal<es Trouble.


ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., Aug 2-The
myst erious movements of crank who
has been annoying President Harrison by
writing letters to him from this city, are
being watched closely. The eccentric in
dividual heads his letters Court of St.
Mare" and signs himself ''Godhead Clar-
ence." He has for several days past been
sending frequent communications to the
president. One read follows: "You
will have TO make collection of food and
clothing for the sufferers at Homestead.
BY order of Godhead Clarence"
Letters Received Frequently.
Secretary Halford, on being communi-
Gated with in regard to the letters sent by
the crank, wrote to the editor of a local
paper in Atlantic City the following: T
have your note of the 22d inst. We are in
receipt of letters frequently from some one
who signs himself Clarence but the ma
ture of the letters do not know, as no at
tention is paid 10 them here We under
stand them to be from an irresponsible
person." At the postoffice this man who
calls himself Clarence has given his adj
dress in Atlantic City as 120 South Ten
nessee avenue. Inquiry at that place
failed to reveal anything as to the identity
of the crank. He is not known there and
nothing is known of his movements.

The Watson Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The situation in
the investigation of Watson's charges OF
drunkenness on the floor of the house is
about as follows: A dozen representatives,
correspondents and others testified that
Cobb was drunk when he made his speech
on the Noyes-Rockwell case; twenty-five
or thirty representatives and correspond
ents with Stenographer Devine, who re.
ported Cobb's speech, have testified that
he was not drunk, but that his rambling
at the close was owing to the numerous
interruptions. Some of these, however,
admit that he slipped whisky as he pro-
ceeded, but claim that hard work had
physically exhausted him and made a
stim ulant necessary.

Congressional Summary.

WASHINGToN. Aug. 2.-The senate did
practically nothing yesterday but wait the
action of the house on the sundry civil
bill. 1t assented readily to the house
proposition TO continue existing appro-
priations for four days longer, and Hawley
and Hiscock spoke ON the question of the
tariff.
In the house the resolution extending
the appropriations was adopted with only
a short debate, the Worlds Fair people
not caring to antagoniZe it. a resolu.
tion was adopted changing the date of the
Chicago Columbian dedication to Oct 21
Holman tried to pass a resolution appro-
pr;ating $50, 900 for southern food sufferers
but somebody filibustered and no further
business was done.

IT'S NIP AND TUCK.
The Fight Over the Appropria-
ton for the Fair.
A CAUCUS THAT sETTLEu NOTHING

Ho1man's Friends Carry the Day, But the
Other Fellows Refuse to Submit, and
Say They VIII Stay with Their Oppo-
nents Until Next March, If Necessary
Lively Debate in the House Over the
Matter-Ju1y's Financial Exhibit-The
Watson Charges-Capital City Notes
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A Democratic
caucus was held in the house last night to
endeavor to effect an agreement by which
the present deadlock on the Worlds fair
appropriation clause in the sundry civil
bill could be broken and a speedy adjourn
ment be brought about. There Were about
100 members present with Representative
Holman in the chair A resolution was
offered by Nutchler of Pennsylvania,
which in effect was that there should be
a vote on separate Worlds fair bill,
making an appropriation of s., 200, 900 in
aid of the Worlds fair, on the first Wednes-
day in December next, after six hours de-
bate, and that only three amendments
thereto shall be in order. The resolution
further provided that the Dockery COM
mittee should be continued during the
recess with power to visit Chicago, inves-
tigate the financial condition of the fair,
and report at the opening of the next ses-
sion of congress as to the necessity for
government aid.
ReiIIy's Substitute Beaten.
Reilly of Pennsylvania offered a sub
stitute, in substance that the sense of the
caucus is that the house proceed to vote
on the pending motion, namely, to lay on
the table the motion to reconsider the vote
by which the house concurred in the
l. I. 1.
tion of any further dilatory motions. This
substitute was debated pro. and con.
Reilly, Fellows Bushnell, Babbit, O'Neill
and others advocating it. A vote on the
resolution resulted in its defeat by a vote
of 81 to 80.
Crisp Declares Himself
Mutchler opened the debate in favor of
his resolution, and was followed in advo-
cacy of it by McCreary of Kentucky in a
lengthy speech. Crisp summed up the stu
alton in concise manner and favored the
Mutchler resolution. He thought the
matter in controversy should go over until
December He cited as parallel case the
filibustering on the direct tax bill and the
manner in which it was disposed of. He
also dwelt upon the way the sundry civil
bill had been amended by inserting the ap-
preparation clause which he said was
act unprecedented in the history of con-
gress. Bankhead also spoke against the
appropriation. A vote upon the Mutchler
resolution resulted in its favor by a vote of
90 to 81.
VIII Bolt the Caucus Action.
McGann of Illinois said after the caucus
had adjourned that the supporters of the
Worlds fair appropriation would continue
to press their cause until congress expired
by limitation of law, on March next.
They would continue to insist on carrying
out the will of the majority. Durborow
agreed with the sentiments expressed by
his colleague. If this programme be car
ried out the caucus will have accomplish ed
nothing.

FlLIBUsTERs GROW AGGRESSIVE.
Holman and Others Charge Worlds Fair
Bensle with Eulldozinr.

Holman and Others Charge Worlds Fair
People with Bulldozing.
There seemed yesterday to be an under
standing among the opponents of the
Worlds fair appropriation that they were
to open a hot fire the friends thereof
and assume the aggressive. At any rate,
as soon as business began. Holman got the
floor and again presented his resolution to
extend last years appropriations. He said
the house was confronted with peculiar
situation. The gentleman from Illinois
(Hopkins) had stopped the wheels of the
government by objecting to the considera-
tion of the resolution on Saturday last.
Never before in the history of the govern
ment had such state of affairs existed.
He wanted TO bulldoze the house, and so
objected.
Says 1t Was Contrary to Rule.
This measure was placed in an appro-
priation bill contrary to the rules of both
houses of congress. The Centennial ex-
hibition appropriation was made by the
passage of a separate bill. He referred
to the action taken up to the motion to
reconsider the vote concurring in the ap-
propriation and said the house had a right
to reconsider its own action, but did not
go INTO the question as to who was pre-
venting the house voting on reconsidera-
ton McCreary of kentucky said that the
fault lay with the w orld'S fair advocates.
They wanted the bill TO fail if they did
not get this money The people of the
country were to lie robbed for the Worlds
fair
New York Has a Whack.
Reed made short speech in reply to
Holman. Cummings, of New York, con-
tinued the fight against the fair. He said:
THE wheels of the government We're
stopped by the objection of the Republican
member from Illinois Hopkins ] The
provisions of the last sundry civil bill have
been extended once Why did not the
gentleman object to it then2 He objects
to it now because he has his Chicago
croupier in the public treasury and wants
to rake s. COO, 900 from il. The object is
to force this house to allow this money to
be taken under press ure. And the gentle
man from Maine IReedl is the lieutenant
of the gentleman from Illinois. With the
ferocity of Marat we have seen him kick
the bones of "a dead colleague from his
path for the purpose OF trying to secure
Il will not say steal-this appropriation.
TApplause on the Democratic side And
these are the men that have the impudence
to turn to u party which in this house has
given 33 majority against this looting of
the treasury and charge it with blocking
the wheels of the government"
Reeds Reply to Holman's Plaint.
McMillin spoke in the same strain as
Cummings and Hopkins on the other side,
each declaring that the "other fellow" was
responsible for the condition of affairs re-
sulting in tho stoppage OF the wheels Of
government: and then the resolution ex-
tending the appropriation passed. The
best speech on the Republican side was

The Rechabites VIII Celebrate
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The semi-centen-
nial of the organization of the "Rechabites," !"
a temperance society, is being celebrated
by the high tent in national convention in
this city. Aug. 2, 1912, the first tent of
Rechabites was organized in this country,
the place being New York city. 1t being
free from politics, and based on the doc
trine of persuasion, the doctrine grew rap
idly in all the New England states. 1t
prospered until 1860, when the war spirit
stole in among the Rechabites, and the
differences of opinion came near burying
the institution. After the war was over "A
few faithful followers called the "high
tent" together again, and it is again
enjoying fair degree of prosperity.

Prof. Carlson is prominent
Swedish citizen of st. Peter, and his
nomination is expected to smooth over
the hard spot upon which Swedish Can
didate Berg will drop in his contest for
secretary of state.
Speaking of the nationality issue. the
convention which meets today at the
Peoples church will have the hardest
one to solve. That portion of
the Scandinavians who came from
Sweden are determined that Albert
Berg, of Chisago county, shall be nomi-
mated for secretary of state, and they
are leaving nothing undone to bring it
about. They claim that the nomination
of a Norwegian for first place demands
4 SWede for some place on the ticket.
A caucus OF the delegates OF this ma
tionality was held last evening to per-
feet plans OF work and for
tine purpose of drawing the lines.
An amusing incident happened in
connection with this that is worth re-
peating. G. G. HOupt. the well-known
eX-prosecuting attorney Of Otter Tail
county. was standing in the lobby chat
ting with friend, when fair-haired
Son Of Sweden
came up and whispered:
Are you going to the caucus?"
"What ,caucus?" asked Houpt.
''The Swedish caucus" was the an
swer.
II don't think I belong there" NUT
tered Houpt, while his friends roared
with laughter.
This Swedish caucus calls to mind a
similar meeting held in the interest of
Col. Haas Mattson two years ago. and

The last event proved an easy thing
for the favOrite, beautiful Lillian Lind
say. She has always been a prime
fav0rlte at Hamline. and she has shown
each succeeding year performances that
have aroused the envy of her rivals.
She had but two competitors,

instances the bOOkmakers made the odds

made the pace up to the turn, where
