WASHINGTON, March 3.-There was q
lively scene in the house this morning
when Watson, leader of the peoples party,
arose to a question of privilege and de
nounced the correspondent OF the Atlantis
Constitution for accusing him of improper
motives in voting with the republicans in
the Craig Stewart contest. The dispatch
IN question stated that Watson voted SC
because he expected financial aid from
the republicans in the mex race for con-
gress. The correspondent IN question is
clerk to Speaker Crisp. Watson denounced
the article IN unmeasured terms
lie said it was was false; the speaker OF
the house knows it to be false; the man
who wrote it knows it to be false, as does
every member of the house. Ever since
| have been here, said Watson, this clerk
of the speaker has thought it his duty to
deride me. to ridicule and m~lsrepresent
me. In the article which l have sent to
the speakers desk the climax is reached;
the time when silence was prudent and
rood policy is past. The time when any
man, be he ever so patient, would feel
driven to a denial and denunciation has
come, anu uGIbs WIZ. AlDtahtlt L ucuOuuCO

The matter was then dropped aud the
house went into a committee of the
whole on the District of Columbia bill.
Its unfinished sections we're considered
without amendment. The committee
rose and reported the bill to the house
and it was passed.
The house resumed consid eration OF
the bill allowing railroad companies to
give special rates to commercial travellers.
O'Neal Of Pennsylvania offered an
amendment providing nothing 10 the bill
be construed to prohibit a common car
rier from granting reduced rates of trans
portation to passengers or making re-
duced rates for freight.
Harris of Minnesota offered an amend
ment that any common carrier may give
reduced rates L members Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic travelling to or
from the annual encampment.
In speaking to the bill Simpson of
Kansas referred to the author of the
Interstate commerce act, Senator Cullom,
as an Ubiquitous railroad attorney"
He was promptly called to order BY Lind
of Minnesota. Simpson expressed a
willingness to withdraw the ubiquitous, .
but this would not satisfy Lind, and
Simpson withdrew the entire expression.

mittee Of the house committee on pen.
sions today examined Commissioner Raum
with reference to the estimates of the

ical examinations, and this year 81, $780,

The Joint English and United States
commission on the Boring sea fisheries
held a long session this afternoon and
practically concluded their deliberations.
The members are pledged to secrecy and
it is impossible to obtain any official infor-
nation as 10 the result of their confer

prevalent belief hat the commissioners
have failed entirely in their cndeavors to
reach a satisfactory agreement as to the
best method of conducting the seal fishing
industry with a view to the preservation
of the species.

been conducting n lively business in
horse stealing in that part of Montana
lying south OF the Yellowstone and in
Fremont county Well.known stock
growers Of Yellowstone county have
lost about 400 horses. Other stock
growers have contributed several hun
dred more, and it is believed that the

possession.
The situation has become SO seriors
that a band of thirty resolute citizens
was organized and set out to attempt
the recovery of the stock and to thin
out the thieves. In an encounter few
