Mr. Hoar Accuses Mr.. Morse of FaIsifyin

Mr. Hoar Accuses Dir. Morse of FaIsifying
the Record, and 10 Roasted" In Return.
WASHINGTON Feb. 1.--Imme ediately after
the opening of the House this morning,
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts. rising to q cor
rection of the Record, said that under the
rules under which the House was acting no
member was permitted to enlarge his re-
marks in the Record unless he received spe-
ecial leave to do so. In a speech delivered
some days ago his colleague, Mr.. Morse, had
brought mp the old fish peddling story. He
MIR. HoarI had requested that the gentle
man be allowed to proceed. as his speech
was beneficial to the Democratic party of
Massachusetts,. In the record O reply ap-
peared from Mr.. Morse which had
never been uttered. He held in
his hand the Official stenographer's
report of Mr.. Morse's speech and
the type-written speech which Mr.. Morse
had subsequently furnished. Not content
with this amendment Mr. Morse had
on the Republican side" Laughter. The
gentleman's imagination was perfectly cor
rect. The only applause that the Repub-
lican party would give to his remarks was
lMr. Hoarl know the Republican party
well enough and the gentleman well enough
to know that remarks he never delivered
were sure TO obtain Republican applause.
Mr.. Morse replied that the statement
made by the gentleman was largely and
substantially false. The words the gentle
man quoted In regard to fish peddling had
been delivered by him Mr. Mo-sel. He
had availed himself of the privilege grant
ed every member to revise his remarks
Now, Mr.. Speaker" continued he, my
young friend from Massachusetts, will he
wiser when he is older. He is reported,
Mr.. Speaker, to have shed tears over
your election laughter on the Republican
sidel. he is reported to have wet his couch
with tears because his candidate for Speak
er was defeated. Renewed laughter.
He had seen In the distance q chairmanship
and clerk. and honor, and fame. and celeb
rity throughout the extent of the country,
and especially In his district in Massachu-
setts. These fond hopes were dashed to
the ground by the defeat of his candidate
and by your election, Mr.. Speaker. Laugh
ter. That young gentleman. through the
campaign in which he was elected, declared
that the Democratic party of the country
stood for honest money, and that the Re-
publican party was the party of cheap
money. He will be wiser when he is older.
He belongs to the kindergarten class at
present. Great laughter on the Republican
side. By the time this Congress has closed
he will understand the position of the DEM
ocratic party in regard to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and with refer
ence TO the tariff. free raw MATERIAL
and other great economic questions.
Laughter and applause.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Feb. 1.-Since Satur-

o series of sensations of the sidewalk, so
20 speak. The city has developed Jack
the Splitter and Jack the Grabber." In
addition to this pair of Jacks" also a pair
of bold footpsds. Jack the Splitter" was
caught, but the other knavish fellows are
only under suspicion by the police.
Saturday evening Jack the Splitter"

before he was arrested. He stationed him
self on the sidewalk in front of retail
dry-goods store. and. watching his oppor-
tunIty. would expectsrate tobacco Juice in

passed. When discovered he was making
up for lost time III the intervals between
the passing of victims by befonling a costly
front OF the store. His name Is Spellman.
and he is q well-known engineer. His con-
duct is unaccountable to his friends, espe-
ciaily as he was not drunk.
Last night the other offenders made
themselves known. In a locality in the
city where several young girls had been
grabbed by an unknown man, a girl OF
fifteen was caught and badly frightened.
The residents of the neighborhOod are
much incensed at these repeated acts of the
"Grabber.' and every means Will be used TO
capture him.
Later in the night two young footpads
''held up" q half-doZen persons, most of
their victims being young men. The per-
sons who were robbed all agree in their de-
ser iDton of thes hIghwaymen and of the
manner In which they were sccosted.

TOO SLICK" FOR THE POLICEMAN.
Noted Train Robber Induces an officer to Re-
lease Him by Audacious Lying.

OMAHA, Feb. 1.-"Dickn Wilson. brother
of the noted ''Dink" Wilson. of the West
Side and Glendale train-robbery fame. was
arrested to-day near Hanscom Park by park
policeman Goodrich. but by presence Of
mind and audacious lying he managed to
get away and is still at liberty. The officer
saw Wilson passing along the sidewalk.
He had known Wilson from boy hood. and
also knew that he was wanted in st. Louis
for safe-bl0wihg. and he lost no time in
putting him under arrest.
What you doing this forf' asked Wilson,
as he felt the officers grip on his arm.
They want you down at police head
quarters, and am going to endyoud down."
was the reply.
why, just came from there" said the
prisoner. 'An officer arrested me last
night. and the old man just went down and
put up bail for me. You see the tiy collars
were little too swift for YOU"
1T looks that way" said the crestfallen
officer. as he told Wilson he could 90. The
latter lost no time In availing himself of
the privilege, and disappeared. Later the
officer bethought himself to inquire ut the
police station If Wilson had been arrested,
and was deeply chagrined to lind that he
had not. Detectives secured the city to Sc
cure Wilson, but without avail.

grave apprehensions existing in the public mind
arose frOm the fact that the apology hourly
try so quickly rs the Presidents message; but.
Whereas, The said apology has arrived, and
the President has informed Congress aud the
country that all fears OF impending War are at
an end therfore, in order that the public tran
quillty of the United states may in the future be
better assured. and that the bonds OF friendship,
which ought to exist among all the republics or
the western hemisphere. may be further
cemented. regardless OF its effects upon any po-
utical party, be ft
Resolved That the President be respectfully
requested to recall said minister to Chill. 90 the
end that reciprocity OF amicable relations be-
tween the countries may be had and maintain ed
between Chilli and the United States.
'I think. on the surface of our CORE
spondence with Chill" said Mr.. Arnold. to-
night. that. while there may have been
cause for war there was really never any
probability of hostility between this gov
ernment and that country. The apology of
the latter, coming as il did, so close on the
heels of the Presidents message. Twill not
say indicates duplicity on the part of our
government. but evinoes undue haste.
That, however, is not so germane to the
spirit of the resolution. International
courtesy demands. especially in this
instance, the withdrawal of an obnoxious
minister. such rs Mr.. Egan appears to be IN
the estimation of the people of Chill.
/ am not deciding that Mr.. Egan's course
was wrong. i simply say under the exist
ing state of facts If we are sincere In our
professions of friendship for a young and
struggling republic we should be willing
TO meet her half way and not impose upon
her minister distastefnl to her people.
We are o great and powerful Nation and
can well afford at this time to be generous.
My resolution is not intended TO be dIsre-
spectful to the President. but is merely to
call his attention to the public opinion of
this country, which is that all the pro-
prieties of the occasion demand the recall
of Minister Egan." Mr.. Arnold's resolu-
tion was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs

Anti-Free Coinage Men Say They Won't
Caucus with the Silverites.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The call for q eau
Gus on the silver question is bringing out
considerable opposition among Democratic
members. Quite a number of them are de-
claring that they will not attend the silver
caucus il any purpose is to be made to COM
nit the members one way or the other.
They are willing to attend if it ls merely q
conference, but not if it assumes the pro-
portions of caucus with the binding ef-
fects usually assigned to caucus &C tions.
AS this opposition comes from men who are
opposed to free silver coinage it indicates
that they are so determined in their oppo-
sition that they will decline to be bound
by any caucus action should it take on q
free silver complexion. Mr.. Bland and his
associate radicals are smiling at the pros
poets OF being able to control the caucus
for free silver: but in this they will proba-
bly, find unexpected opposition in the atti-
tude of the anti-silver Democrats. who may
decline to 60 into the caucus at oil.

Secretary Foster Himself Again.


Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-For the first time
in almost three months Secretary Foster
was at his desk in the Treasury Depart
ment to-day ready to do full duty in the
exercise of his Office. The Secretary has
had a hard time with the grip and looks
somewhat attenuated yet but the luster Is
returning to his eyes and his cheeks are
filling out again under good digestion and
q splendid appetite. There was a period
covering three or four W eeks when In pri-
vate the family and Official friends of the
Secretary were greatly concerned about
his physical condition. He suffered O re-
lapse and was exceedingly delicate. He
could not sit mp for nearly a month and
very nearly lost heart Having passed the
allotted three score years the chances were
against his recovery, but he exerted his
proverbial pluck and weathered the storm.
Secretary Fostor entered the Treasury De-
partment fresh from the walks of every
day life, full of vigor and determination,
and undertook to give his duties too much
attention in detail. He overworked him.
self yet he did not break himself down.
He has now almost completely recovered
and looks himself again.
