A STORM in THE HOUSE.

1t Was Started When Mr.. Weadock Pitched
into the American Protective Alliance.
Washington, October 27.-Mr. Weadock
of Michigan introduced privileged reso-
luton in the House today. 1t directed
an investigation into the right of Mr..
Linton of Michigan, who represented the
eighth district of that state, to seat in
the House. He asked that the right of
Henry M. Youmans to the seat occupied
by Mr.. Linton be inquired into, and if
found entitled to it, that the former
should be declared a member of the
House. He said Mr.. Linton was elected
by society existing in Michigan and
other Western states whose existence
was menace to the states and subver-
sive of the prosperity and welfare of the
people. 1t was the society which had
gone to the extent of ordering a large
supply of arms and ammunition.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois said the gentle
man was out of order. He had no right
to arraign any lawful society OF organiza-
ton on the floor. Mr.. Hopkins moved
that the resolution be referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
The Speaker overruled the point eff
order and stated that it was permissible
for the gentleman from Michigan to ask
an inquiry into the right of any gentle
m IN to seat in the House.
Mr.. Weadock thereupon took up his
attack on the American Protective Al
lance, but his remarks were lost in the
storm which broke about his head, in
which Messrs. Hopkins and DingJey of
Maine took prominent part. When he
could be heard again he announced that,
owing to the opposition encountered, he
would withdraw the resolution until the
member most affected (Mr. Linton)
should be present to speak in his own
behalf and in defense CT the society.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, chairman of
the committee on banking and currency,
reported resolution calling on the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for information
concerning the operation of state banks.
together with the number which had
failed and the amount lost since 1880.
The resolution encountered great oppo-
sition. On call of the roll on the ques-
tion of agreeing to the resolution, no
quorum voted and the House at 21O adj
journed until Monday. sf3ro

Those Lucky Enough to Get Inside the
4 Hall Laughed and Applauded. y
Holyoke. Mass, October 27.-City Hall
was crowded, and many were turned
away this evening. Thomas B. Reed
was warmly greeted. His hearers were
exceedingly responsive, and broke into
cheers and laughter at the slightest prov
ocation. The speaker said in introduce
ing his remarks, that he would not pre-
sent any facts but those his hearers al
ready knew, otherwise it might appear
that he gave them q partisan coloring.
His argument, he said, could be received
and digested on its merits. He was not
sure but that it would be to the advan-
tage of the Republican party to be de-
feated in November in order that the
great teacher, experience, might induce
people to know and remember the ideas
they had already begun to acquire for
believed in the conflict of parties, but
the Republicans had shown their ability
to put aside partisan prejudices and TAG
tics and attempt to carry out the wishes
of the majority of the people. Now the
time had come for some one to recipro-
Cate. He took up the principal issues of
the national campaign, beginning with
the effect of protection on wages. The
cost of a pound of paper, he said, de-
pended on three things, the cost of the
raw material, the cost of capital and the
cost of labor. When any reduction in
price occurs, the total cost must be re-
duced, and tine reduction comes out of
the. wages of the workingmen. Some
have said the fact that there have been
strikes under Republican rule gshows
that the country has not been prosperous
but when do men strike? Is it when
there is no money for them to get? No;
they strike when mills are prosperous.
They want their share. If the present
legislation is continued, there is going to
be trouble. He had never yet seen a
man who would take 81 instead of $1.25
if he could help it. In conclusion he
spoke briefly of the Mckinley bill and
the Sherman act, and defended the Re-
publican party for it's attitude toward
the latter by saying it acted up to its
best knowledge, and was willing to cor
rect its error when it saw it was mistak-
en-.
Mr.. Reed was introduced briefly by the
chairman of the evening, Mayor Farr.
He is the guest of ex-Congressman Whit
ing.

SOMEWHAT, TOP HEAVY.
But That Can Be Remedied, and Is Not tho
Fault of the Builders.

Washington, October 27.-The official
report of the board that accompanied the
new gunboat Machias on her trial trip
this week, confirms to some degree the
rumors circulated that the Machias was
somewhat top heavy Secretary Herbert
is not willing to make the contents of
the report public at present, but indi-
Gates that the vessel will be accepted.
The report states that on the trial trip
the Machias worked we'll but showed
some uusteadiness She is we'll built and
stable, but needs new distribution of
the heavy material and considerable
Tightening of spars. These changes. in
the opinion of the board, will remedy
the present defects

the trial of the gunboat Machias, Acting
Rear Admiral Walker says:
She is what we call tender ship. We
had good weather and we ran alona

There will be no change that l know OF

detain the Machias more than three or
perhaps four weeks. During that time
she will be taken on the dry dock, and
there her meter center will be deter

Springfield, Mass, October 27.-Thos
B. Reed addressed an audience that
crowded the City Hall to it's utmost.ca-
pacity this afternoon. He came here
under the auspices of the City Republi-
can Club. Andrew J. Wright, the presi-
dent of the club, called the gathering to
order. Ex-Governor Robinson presided
and made a brief address, after which
he introduced Mr.. Reed, who was enthu-
siastically received. Mr.. Reed dwelt at
length on the silver question, partly in
reply to the argument of John E. Rus
sell, who placed the responsibility for
free silver legislation on the Republicans
He said the Bland act had been called the
Bland-Allison act for the purpose of the
Massachusetts campaign. Bland was a
Democrat, and Senator Allison, Repub-
lican, succeeded in removing some fea-
lures most Objectionable to the sound
currency men. He called attention to
the bearing of Messrs. Crisp and Spring
er toward free silver, and repeated the
assertion he made in Boston, that the
Republican minority in the Senate, not
President Cleveland, was responsible for
the defeat of the proposed compromise
with the silver men. The firm stand of
the Republicans and the expressed indig-
nation of the people will win the day.
