WASHINGTON, April lS-Bsfore the
journal was approved to-day Mr.. Burrows,
rep, of Michigan, called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama, who
spoke for exactly one minute yesterday Oh
the new quorum counting rule, had printed
In the Record, against the express provis-
ion of the house, speech which occupied
four columns.
After the call of committees for reports
the house then went into committee of the
whole (Mr. Bailey of Texas in the chair)
for the further consideration of the CON
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill.
Mr.. Grow. rep, of Pennsylvania, con-
demned the policy of the present admins
tration toward Hawaii, denounoing 1t as
uu.American and antsgonistic to the growth
of liberty among nstionsH>
Mr.. McCreary, chairman of the commit
zee in charge of the bill, replied briefly to
the structures by Mr.. Hit, rep, of Illinois
yesterday upon the administration of AS
sistant Secretary Quincy in the state de-
partment. He said he believed that,
whether the republican or democratic
party was In power, 1t was right that the
Offices should be filled by the adherents of
the party in power. Democratic ap-
plause.
Continuing his defense of the appoint
ments made in the diplomatic and consul
lar service, Mr.. McCreary said that over
against the appointment of Van Allen he
would put that of Wanamaker. who, ao-
cording to published accounts, had raised
$4OO. 900 for the republican campaign
fund.
This brought Mr.. Adams, rep, Pennsyl-
vsnia, administer to Brazil to his feet In
warm defense of Mr.. Wanamaker. Van

known to the public before his appoint.
mont. He confessed that, and he had
never voted until he saw an opportunity
to better his social position by seeking the
highly honorable appointment of minister
to Italy. He had spent his time in STOOL
ing" his four-in-hand along Bellevue ave-
nue., Newport, or England, where he lived
while educating his sons in foreign col
leges. The chairman of the committee ON
foreign matters made q great mistake, said
Mr.. Adams, when he attempted TO compare
Van Allen, the artstoorat of sristocrats,
with Wanamaker, the democrat.
Mr.. Hooker, dem, of Mississippi, de-
Tended the course of the administration In
the Van Allen incident and in the Hawaiian
affair.
Mr.. Quigg, rep, of New York, referring
to q statement In Mr.. Rockers speech to
the a set that elections in his section of
the country were conducted cheaply, re-
called an explanation made to congress
some years ago by General Spinols of the
method of conducting campaigns in the
south. Mr.. Quigg assured Mr.. Hooker
that If he would send a marked copy of
his speech to w. O. Whitney, and remove
to New York, he would doubtless be re-
turned to the house as cheaply from that
state as from Mississippi
