TALKED 1T TO DEATH.
How Clark Carried Out His
Awful Threat.
1t Was a Witty Talk, However, and
the House Was Well En-
tertained.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The proceed
ings in the House were enlivened by a
characteristic speech from Clark Cd of
Missouri, which abounded in personal al
lusions and was generally Of the sledge-
hammer variety. Il was made in con-
Bection with the bill to retire incapactated
officers Of the reyenue-cutter service, with
the avowsd purpose of talking the bill to
death. He succeeded in consuming the
morning hour and the bill went over. The
remainder of the day was consumed in de-
bate on the railroad pooling bill.
Less than TWENTY-FIVE members were
present when the House was called to or
der at noon. In the morning hour NAL
lory (D.) of Florida, from the COMMITTEES
on Interstate Commerce, called up the
bill to promote the efficiency of the reve-
nue. cutters. The bill was considered sew
eral times last session, 1t provides for
the retirement of officers of the service in
capacitated by reason of infirmities. age OF
physical or mental disabilities.
Mallory, English 3D. of Maryland and
Covert 3D. of New York supported the
bin, but it was antagonized by Clark OF
Missouri, who deliberately avowed his in
tention of talking it to DEATH Clark's
speech was characteristic. humorous and
audacious to the point of sensationalism
and il kept the House in a confusion OF
laughter, cheers and jeers. The morning
hour expired without action, and Brown
(D) Of Maryland gave notice that on
