ifoUl-Ce one HALL OIL the people IN tnt
terms used by Mr.. Bayard?
Mr.. Crisp-Any citizen, no mattel
who he may be. or what position h,
occupies, has the right to say what h
thinks upon economic questions.
In reply to q question by Mr.. Crisp Mr.
Dingley declared, amid applause on the
Republican side, that his personal opin-
was improbable, and ought to be i'm
peachable, by the house. Whether il
Was policy for the house to impeach was
another question.
Il am very glad to get the gentleman
opinion said Mir. Crisp.
Il believe continued Mr.. Dingley
that an example should be made of some
of these gentlemen who are constantly
official life Mr.. Bayard should be public
ly condemned
Wheeler Asks = Question.
Mr.. Wheeler Dem.). of Alabama. asked
why the Republicans, if they were so
solicitous of the conduct of our represen-
tatiyeS abroad had not recalled Robert
z. Schanck. the United. States minister
to Great Britain who had been guilty
OF cheating the English with worthless
mining stocks.
The Republicans smiled but no one
delSned TO make d reply.
Mr.. Cummings Dem.), of New DIRK,
who got the tloor at this point injected
some humor into the debate. He said
he did not know whether the pending res
olution had been brought into the house
under false pretenses, but he did know
that the resolution Was based upon "a
newspaper report of speech; that it
was brought in by a newspaper editor
editor (Mr. Dingley). He himself was a
newspaper man, and he congratulated
the newspaper men Of the country that
they at last spoke from the floor OF the
Mr. Cannon IRenA. of Illinois. thought
that the resolution should go to the Ju-
dietary and not the foreign affairs COM
mittee. He might be doubtful as to the
propriety of impeaching Mr.. Bayard, but
he did believe that the Edinburg speech
should be condemned and that 1t was the
duty Of the house of representatives to
express its diSapproval OF adopting a res
olubion Of censure.
Not Even Improper.
Mr. Turner Dem.), of Georgia, took the
position that Mr.. Bayard's utterances,
if correctly reported, did not even con-
stitute an improperly.
Ar. Johnson (hep), of Indiana, speak
ing to the resolution, denounced IN I'M
measured terms the course Of Mr.. Bay,
ard. who he said, not only dlsparaged
a civil policy OF the United States, but
impugned the honesty and integrity of
those who advocated the policy
After some further debate by Messrs.
McCreary Oem.), of Kentucky; Grow
Rep.), of Pennsylvania, Money Oem.),
of Missouri. and Mcclure Oem.), Of
California, Mr.. Barrett, on the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Hitt, requested unanimous
consent that his resolution be so modi-
fed that that portion of the resolution
making it mandatory upon the eorlmlt-
tee report by impeachment or other
wise" should be stricken out.
There was some parliamentary sparr-
ing over the point as to whether the
striking out of those words would not
divest the resolution of its privileged
nature, whether the speaker decided in
the negative. whereupon Mr.. Crisp OBJ
jected, saying that he wanted the other
side to go on record as voting for i'm
peachment-
MIR. Barrett then closed the debate in
a brief speech in which he said he would
never have introduced the resolution. bad
not some one objected to the resolution
of Mr.. Mccall. The subject was one near
to the hearts of the American people,
and should be discussed
When the previous question was de-
manded, Mr.. Crisp moved to refer the
resolution to the judiciary committee.
This was lost by rising vote-SO to 2o6.
Mr. Crisp demanded a yea and nay
vote, which was taken, resulting-90 to

words ''by Impeachment OF otherwise,
and his motion was agreed to. AS
amended the resolution was adopted
without a division.
Mr.. Fisher Rep0, of New York, or
dered Tor immediate consideration d TeSo-
luton to instruct the committee on naval
affairs, when appointed, to investigate
the reports that the battleship Texas
was faulty in construction, and also to
report upon the plans, construction, cost
and seaworthiness of the ship.
Mr.. Crisp objected.
