81 do'not expect my argument to have
any effect" he said in conc usion, ad-
dressing the Democratic side, 'but
you are like the heathens who have
listened to the Christian missionaries.
You have no chance Of redemption.
The speaker announced that he was
ready to rule. After q careful state
ment Of the situation and the declare.
ton that by special order changing
or suspending the rules of the house
temporarily, the accepted doctrines Of
Jetferson's manual were carried out
aud after citing precedent in one Of
Speaker Carlisle's rulings, the speaker
overruled the point of order.
The previous question was then
ordered without division. This gave
fifteen minutes on a side for discus
sion of special order.
Mr.. Catchings did not desire to de-
bate the rule, and Mr.. Reed
took the floor and made very sarcas-
tic speech. You are going to give
the country free sugar" said he. in his
most ironical vein, amid shouts of Re.
publican laughter-in your minds.
And free coal and free iron ore. You
are going to be bold and manly as YOU
have been in this backdown, without
reference to the committee that
stands between you and the noble
purpose that thrills you"
Mr.. Turner of Georgia replied to
Mr.. Reed and was greeted with ap-
plause by the Democrats. He said
that the gentleman from Maine had
built up parliamentary system
which now reacted against him.
There was no right or justice in the
assumption that the action of the sem
ate in sending the bill back to the
house was wrong. He asked Mr.. Reed
what right he had to make his as
sumption.
Mr.. Reed said he did not make any
claim. He had been informed that
the irregularity occurred, but he had
no personal information.
Mr.. Turner proceeded to Show that
the action of the house was strictly
regular.
The question then being put on
agreeing to the resolution Mr.. Reed
demanded a division. The entire
Democratic side rose en- masse, but
when the negative vote was called
for the Republicans sat calmly in
their seats hoping to break a quorum.
When the speaker announced the vote
-lS6 to 3-twelve more than a QUO
rum, the Republicans were somewhat
discomfort -

BEFORE THE HOUSE.
Ex-Speaker Reed Taunts the Democrats
Over Their Tariff BILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1j.-When the
house met to-day, FIVE minutes after
the Democratic caucus had adjourned,
there were more members on the floor
than at any time since the tariff bill
was passed. The anxious public,
which thronged the corridors
before the doors were thrown
open, crowded into the galleries
in anticipation of the final scene in
the long tariff battle. The greatest
confusion existed on the floor. Mem
bers were standing about in excited
groups discussing the situation, the
general understanding being that
resolutions to agree to the senate
amendments and probably to consider
bills for free coal, iron, sugar and
barbed wire would be brought in this
afternoon.
Under the rules Mr.. Heard. chair
man of the committee on the District
of Columbia, pending action by the
committee on rules, claimed the day
for the consideration of business re-
ported from the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia.
AT 30 o'clock the rules committee
appeared and Mr.. Catchings sub
mitted report for the immediate con-
sideration of the senate tariff bill, to
be followed by the separate bills for
sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire.
Mr.. Reed made parliamentary OBJ
lection to the procedure, claiming
that the tariff bill was not before the
house and indicated the Republican
intention to fight the bill and report
in every proper way. At the present
time, he said, the senate was propos-
ing action and the house was propos-
ing action at the same time.
The house had no report on
the bill and the senate had repented
of its bill. Both were ashamed of
their offspring. Republican ap-
plause. Yet the house was now pre-
pairing to grab the senate bill before
it could be repudiated by that body
and swallow its nauseous meat Such
a spectacle had never before been
witnessed. He sarcastically referred to
Mr.. Bum Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, who attempted TO interrupt him, as
a manwho had been late in getting on
the .'roll Of honprp but was now In .
hurry to get on the. roll Of dishonor."

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 14.-The Wich-
tia National bank, the oldest in South.
west Kansas, failed to open its doors
this morning and notice was posted
up that the comptroller had taken
charge at the close of business Satur-
DAY. The deposits amounted to about
$3.50, 900 and the capital stock and sur
plus aggregate $500, 700.
President NJ. W. Levy is in Kansas
City, having gone there last night to
see if arrangements could not be
made to tide over the trouble. but the
closed doors this morning told the
story of his failure to secure help.
c. A. Walker, cashier of the bank,
says; THE responsibility for the
suspension can be charged to the
county commissioners and a hundred
abla-bodied liars who have talked the
bank to death. irresponsible people
have been attacking the stability Of
the institution for three weeks. and
there has been a constant and heavy
drain on us during that time. The
county commissioners, among others,
listened to the stories afOat and
checked out $40, 900 without giving us
any notice. l believe the suspension
is only temporary, and even if the
bank is closed for good we can pay all
our debts if we collect thirty-fve
cents on the dollar of what is due u.s."
The demands on the other banks
will probably be heavy, but it is be-
lleved that all of them are prepared
to protect themselves, for all have
been reorganized since the boom and
their condition is first class. The
small depositors have, however, taken
