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 Sensts
amendments to 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 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 COM
missioners to take proof Of land cases.
The PostOfice Bill.
The House then went into COMMITTEES
of the whole and resumed consideration

The pending question was a 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. -
point of order was sustained.
The amendment to reduce from S245,-
600 to $18O,0OO the appropriation for the
manufacture of stamps was adopted.
An amendment providing that all
publications purporting 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 S196314 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 TIE 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 Hutchin-
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 its
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
tod r0raofiOaIIvr tho idea
| tanned in the speech from which he
| had quoted. He proceeded t.
characterize the speech as an appeal
! to sectionalism; an appeal to the sell
| fshness 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
| Massac husetts that he was most in
| terested 1t was a remarkable utter
ance from the leader of the Repubh-
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
order that the west might at least
| 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 Massa chusettS
he held up the question ignorance of
the south" and the ''rapacious west
and pleaded for special privileges for
New England. Democratic applause)
Reeds Hatred of the West.
! Mr.. Reed listened to Mr. Bryan at
tentively. When he had finished Mr.
Reed arose. The incident was of lit
tie Importance, he said. It's only sig
nificance was that Mr.. Bryan had
taken what he had said in Boston and
put it forth in Denver as Reeds posi-
tive declaration that the passage of
the Wilson bill would result in build
ing up western manufactures to the
destruction of those in the east. He
was unwilling that this mistaken inn
preston should go abroad unrectified.
He found that the newspapers of the
west, in the midst of the ruins of the
Democratic party, needed some start
/ ling lie to come and go on. No man
8 here would have placed a wrong con-
struction on his speech. Everyone
knew when it was delivered, although
: the bill had not been reported. that
: free raw materials were to be used to
doubt the course Of the empire would
continue to move westward. but If
should move westward without carry
ing in its wake the ruin of the con
sumner as well as the manufacturer
The destruction of the manufactures
would be destruction of the great man
ufacturing plants. Millions untold
: would be lost, and when rebuilt thew
would go westward. If this process
went out naturally, it would be to the
advantage of the whole people. The
Republican doctrine of protection be.
lieved in no class, as did the doctrine
of the Wilson bill. 1t believed thai
the American people should do tbs
work.
Without acting on the amendment
the committee rose and at 5 O'Clock
adjourned.
