Washington, April 1O.-There was a
question today when the House met as
to the order of business. An attempt
was made to consider some Senats
amendments to a bridge bill when Mr.
Reed argued that the House must pro-
coed to vote on the motion to discharge
the warrants issued to the sergeant-at-
arms, under the resolution of March
10, for the absenteeS. The motion came
over from last Saturday.
Mr.. Reed contended that the House
presented an unseemly spectacle. as
members were under threat of arrest,
and that the report Of the sergeant-at-
arms should be disposed of as a matter
of private rights of members. Finally
it was decided to allow the whole sub
ject to go over until tomorrow.
Bills were passed for the protection
of game in the Yellowstone park, and
for the punishment of crime in the park
by extension of the law and jurisdiction
Of the Wyoming United States district
to it's territory; to grant chief justices
in the territories power to appoint CONF
miSsionerS to take proof OF land cases.
The POstOfice Bill.
The House then went into COMMITTEES
of the whole and resumed consideration
of the postoffice appropriation bill
The pending question was point
of order raised by Mr.. Henderson,
chairman of the postoffice committee,
against an amendment offered by Mr..
Dunphy, of New York, to prevent the
manufacture of postage stamps by the
bureau of engraving and printing under
the contract recently awarded. II
point of order was sustained.
The amendment to reduce from S243,-
900 to $780, 900 the appropriation for the
manufacture of stamps was adopted
An amendment providing that all
publications purporung TO be issued
periodically to subscribers, but which
are really books or parts of books, be
subject to the rates provided for third
class matter when transmitted through
the mails, was adopted.
The fight against the appropriation
of S196, 314 for special mail facilities on
the Trunk line from Springfield, Mass,
via New York and Washington, to At
lanta and New Orleans, then began.
Bryan Scores Reed.
In the course of the debate which
| followed. Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, took
| the floor, and ostensibly speaking or
the amendment, made a reply TO the
recently published letter of MIR. Reed,
| to Mr. c. L. B. Vaughan, of Hutchiu-
son, Kansas, in which he criticised Mr..
Bryan for using in his speech made in
Denver, an extract from one of his
| Reed's) Boston speeches. In that let
| ter, which was given in these dis
patches, Mr.. Reed complained that the
extract taken from its contents, con-
veyed a wrong impression.
| Mr.. Bryan stated that the extract
| he used had not been taken from it's
contents; that he had used all of the
! published report of the speech. More
over, he stated that Mr.. Reeds letter
of explanation was written deliberately
and reiterated practically the idea con-
| tanned in the speech from which he
characterize the speech as an appeal
/ to sectionalism; an appeal to the sci.
\ fiShness of New England. While Mr.
Reed told the west that all the states
were equally interested in the preserva~
ton of the protective tariff, he tolo
Massachusetts that he was most in.
/ terested. 1t was a remarkable utter
ance from the leader of the Republic
II can party. He called attention to the
discrepancy in Mr.. Reeds letter, he
spoke of his reference to the Wilson
bill in the speech, whereas as a mat
ter of fact, the Wilson bill was not
reported until a month after his speech
was delivered. He called attention to
Mr.. Reeds letter, he said, because he
did not want some western Republican
proceeding on the same line to argue
that the tariff should be wiped out in

start upon her manufacturing career
, and finally achieve the power and pres
tige now enjoyed by New England
) He wanted the country to know that
Mr.. Reed while he stood up for pro-
lection for the whole country in the
halls of Congress, in Massachusetts
he held up the question Ignorance of
the south" and the ''rapacious west
; and pleaded for special privileges for
r New England. Democratic applause
Reeds Hatred of the West.
5 Mr.. Reed listened to Mr. Bryan at.
tentively. When he had finished Mr.
Reed arose. The incident was of lit.
tie importance, he said. Its only sig
nificance was that Mr.. Bryan haC
taken what he had said in Boston anC
: put it forth in Denver as Reeds posi-
tive declaration that the passage O
the Wilson bill would result in build
ing up western manufactures to tn,
destruction of those in the east. H,
was unwilling that this mistaken inn
: preston should go abroad unrectified
He found that the newspapers of tn,
west, in the midst of the ruins of tn,
: Democratic party, needed some start
{ ling lie to come and go on. No maj
8 here would have placed a wrong con
:. struction on his speech. E,vervon
knew when it was delivered, although
= the bill had not been reported. tina
: free raw materials were to be used t,
z appease New England. There was n,
doubt the course of the empire woul,
continue to move westward. but
= should move westward without carry
ing in its wake the ruin of the con
= sumner as well as the manufactures
The destruction of the manufactures
: would be destruction of the great man
ufacturing plants. Millions untol
= would be lost, and when rebuilt the
: would go westward. If this process
went out naturally, it would be to tn
: advantage of the whole people. Tn
Republican doctrine of protection be
lieved in no class, as did the doctrin
of the Wilson bill 1t believed tina
the American people should do tn
work.
Without acting on the amendmeu
: the committee rose and at 5 o'cloc
adjourned.
