The Pmlsertnn Debate.
Mr. ONelN OF Missouri, whose amend.
mant was rejected by the conferees, said il
was the use Of armed guards that was OBJ
jeeted to II was sending these armed
guards from one state TO another that was
wrong il was not that he objected TO the
use Of detectives, but we had net reached
the time when the proper authorities We're
not able to protect life aud property with
oua the help Of this band of hired murder
ers Why did not these giant minds of tho
senate create a proper amendments II was
only today that members Of the senate con
ference committee were willing to prohibit
! sending these armed guards from one state
4 to another. This miserable makeshift was
4 a miserable backdown on the part Of tho
representatives Of the people.
Al ten you tonight, here and now, said
4 Mr. OMEN feryently, lin the interest Of
/ peace good viii among men, to put your
feet on this armed guard feature or you
viii have civil war, for no American
workmen will allow themselves TO be
4 crushed by any hired assassins Send this
bin back into conference" he said. Lie had
no fears but that the conference would agree
10 n substitute that would give life and vi
tality to this principle. Loud applause from
the floor and the galleries followed Mr.
/ O'Neills remarks.
Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, criticised
| Nh O'Neill's interest il the Pnkerton
amendment He was III thorough accord
with the action Of the hc.se IN sending its
committee to investigate the use Of armed
forces in Pennsylvania, but he WIS not in
accord with any measure that prohibited
something that had not been investigated
He objected to the amendment Of the gen
tloman from Missouri because it would pre-
vent the manufacture 81 steel plate by the
crnegie company; it would prevent ex-
press companies from transporting the
money Of the government; it would prevent
tie very transfer Of the mails. The senate
had appointed a committee to investigate
tile matter; the house had done likewise,
ana it was for these committees to inyesti-
gate and make n report before action should
be taken.
Mr. Simpson, Of Kansas denounced ''the
.
surrendering TO the representatives Of the
-plutocracy Of the country He called the
Pnkerton employees EARNED thugs, rob
beers and murderers
you'll hear from this in the elections in
the fall, said Mr. Simpson, 'nnd any one
that votes for this amendment should be
lett at home You should not surrender to
the representatives OF wealth."

Mr.. Simpsons time expired while he was
speaking and amid loud raps Of the speak
ei's ggve and much disorder he concluded
with the remark that the great steel works

Cries Of RATS and prolonged Kissing
from the Republican side married the con
clusion OF Mr. Simpsons remarks The
speaker directed the official reporter TO
strike ont all Mr. Simpson had said after
the gavel fell
"rhe reporter would DO himself honor by
leaving all Of it out, shouted Mr. johnson,
Of Indiana.
AT this point there was some excitement
IN the house. The aisles We're crowded In
Mr. Simpsons vicinity ana the babel OF
voices drowned individual utteranees 1t
was not until the sergeant at arms had
cleared the aisles that the house settled
down to anything like order. Mr.. Holman
called for the previous question on the
adoption Of the conference report, but be-
fore the motion could be put Mr. O'Neill
interiected a question, in substance that
wi III the representative Of the Republican
side (Mr. Binghaml in favor Of an amend
mont prohibiting the sending Of armed
guards from one state to another with Mr..
Holman, the senate conferees and himself
% s4.ft tuls hs
house confcrees and the senate conferees to
SO fix the amendment
"About as long as it took you TO change
your mind from one day to another" cried
Mr. Bingham.
Mr., Sayers, Of Texas, denied that the
senate conferees made any such proposition
to the house conferees as that stated by
Mr. O'Neill The question was whether
the house would send the report back to
the senate and lose the sundry civil bill
"Oh pshawn interjected Mr. O'Neill
, jumping to his feet and then sitting down
again.
Continuing, Mr. sayers said Mr.. Simpson

not be more Of a friend 60 the common PEG
