a SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.
Secretary Galloway and Speaker
Fleming Fall out.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 11.-After the ad-
journment of the House tonight Speaker
Fleming arose 10 question OF privilege
and made a statement 20 the House.
which was the elimination Of sensational
rumors tending to complicate the speaker
and Gov. AtkInsons private secretary,
Maj. Frank Galloway. In a personal con-
troversy. or worse difficulty.
on Monday when Mr.. Galloway appear
ed at the door Of the House with a mes
sage from the governor, the House was
so engaged that the speaker did not or
der it received at once. and Secretary
Galloway went back to the executive Of
fice feeling offended. He thought that he
had been personally sighted by Speaker
Fleming and when later Speaker Fleming
sent page 10 him to tell him that the
House was ready to receive the message,
Maj. Galloway sent back word that tho
whole business might 40 to h, with his
compliments" at least that is what Mr..
Fleming stated In his explanation tonight
that the private secretary said TO the
page
MIR. Galloway however. insists that he
said that the speaker, personally, and not
the House, or the whole business. might
make the trip to the lower regions as
suggested. IL was over this difference
that the difficulty appeared to be brewing.
An afternoon paper published an inter
view from Secretary Galloway. giving the
story according 10 his view, which made
the intended insult a personal one to Mr..
Fleming, and not to the House. Mr..
Fleming refused TO be interviewed by the
paper publishing the story. Secretary
Galloway was on the floor Of the House
all the evening, and all sorts of develop
ments were rumored He at one time as
cended the speakers stand and held an
excited interview with the speaker, still
insisting that he had not sent his mes
sage to the House. IN his statement
during which he said he had not
intended to refer to the matter. but de-
sired TO shield the secretary from CEN
sure or criticism by the House, Mr.. Flem-
ing produced an affidavit from the page
who had carried the message corroborat-
ing his version.
After Mr.. Fleming's statement Mr..
Rockwell OF Chatham tried to make an
explanation on behalf of Secretary Cal
loway, but the House would not hear IL.
IL ~ understood that the explanation
would have been but repetition OF Maj
Calloway's assertion that he Intended his
message as personal one only to Speak
or Fleming.
Mr. Fleming does not consider that he
has any quarrel with Secretary Galloway
about his action as speaker, and no man
who knows him would suggest for an
instant that he would shirk personal re-
sponsbility on any legitimate matter. II
Is possible that there may be further de-
velopments of a sensational character,
though friends of both Speaker Fleming
and Secretary Galloway hope to satisfac-
torily adjust the misunderstanding.

REBEL ATTACKS THE KAISER.
The ReichstaE Again the scene of q
Sensational Debate

Berlin, Dec. 11.-There was an exciting
scene in the Reichstag to-day upon the
occasion OF the delivery of speech by
Herr Bebel, one of the socialist leaders,
in regard 10 the recent prosecution Of
socialist unions by the government. In
the course OF his speech Herr Bebel made
violent attack upon the emperor be-
cause OF the speeches delivered by his
majesty on Sedan day and more recently
at Breslau, referring to the kaiser -
"a certain somebody"
President Won Buol-Berenberg called
Herr Rebel to order, but the latter per-
sisted in continuing his remarks in the
same strain. A. great uproar ensued, In
the midst OF which Herr Singers voice
was heard above the din, crying; I'VE
When quiet was finally restored, the
president threatened to stop Herr Bebel
entirely unless he confined his remarks
within the limits of decency and parlia@
mentary rule; whereupon Herr Bebel res
torted: "How Is II possible to omit men-
tion OF the kaiser from discussion OF the
question Of abolition Of the lese majestic
law"
ate speech to criticise the governments
recent prosecution OF socialists. He de-
clared that the present conditions pre-.
vailinR IN civilized states precluded the
possibility OF a revolutionary party OBJ
tanning a victory forcibly, and argued
that, therefore, agitation by means of
speeches and the dissemination OF fitsrA
ature was justihable.
Gen. Bronsart Won Schellendorf, imper-
ial minister Of war, interrupting, declared
amid a tremendous uproar on the part OF
tho socialists, who attempted to drown hie
voice. that during the Sedan fetes the so4
eislists were very dirty inh,shsn,ger1
soil the memory of the great kaiser, bud
nevertheless the army would never fore
get the depravity Of the socialists upon
that occasion.
Twelve socialist mass meetings were
held yesterday evening to protest against
the action Of the government In closing
the socialist unions. Resolutions were
passed charging the socialist party in the
Reichstag with the duty of taking the
dress.

SOUTH oAROLIXA's REPUBLICANS.
MeItOn's Selection as Chairman
Causes a Big Kick.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. u.-There is a
big row among the South Carolina re-
publicans over the action OF National
Committeeman Brayton in naming Mr..
Melton as chairman of the state COM
mittee. Tom Johnston and Tom Miller
and the rest of the anti-Brayton men,
have been on the trail of the leading
members of the national committee all
day trying to impress upon them that II.
A. Webster is the only authorized chair
man of the state committee of South
Carolina. They claim that Brayton had
no right to slip the name of Melton into
the records of the national committee
and they tried to get Brayton to meet
them before Chairman Carter and Gen.
Clarkson to explain his action.
Miller says he has authority from Chair
man Carter to say that Brayton had no
right to put Melton's name on the list
except in an open, straightforward way.
1t is a merry war and the friends of
Webster are greatly distressed at the
knowledge that Brayton INDUCED in what
they term sharp practice in placing Mel
toms name on the list instead of Web
sters.
Joe Manley of Maine, who is chairman
OF the executive committee of the national
committee, stated to the Morning News
correspondent tonight that life is too
short to undertake the task of trying to
adjust the differences between the rival
republican factions in South Carolina.

CONVENTION OF THE DEMOCRACY
Its Location Not 20 BE Decided for a
Month or Two Yet.

Washington, Dec. 11.--There is a desire
on the part Of certain democratic leaders
to meet early In January and select the
site for the next democratic national con
vention. There appears to be a general
impression that the national democratic
committee would meet in this city on
Feb. %, Washington's birthday, to fix the
time and the place for the meeting of the
convention. That date does not appear to
be popular and it is understood that sew
eral requests have been sent 10 Chair
man Harrity asking him to call the COM
mittee together abou; Jan. 10.
The subject was freely discussed among
democrats at the capital to-day. and at
least two members OF The national COM
mittee favored holding the meeting of the
committee in January, and they also
expressed their preference for New York
as the place for holding the convention.
One of the committeeman referred TO said
he favored New York because he made up
his mind when he read the returns from
the recent elections In New York city
he resolved that as New York city has
while all the other convention cities sur
rendered TO the republicans, he would
give, his vote to New York if she de-
sired 1t.
1t is well known that Senator Hill does
not favor New York as the site for the
next democratic convention. He contends
that 1t would cost larger amount OF
money to properly entertain the ConVen-
tion, the bulk of which would be drawn
from the pockets of the New York city
cessfuliy meet the demands of the con
vention would, in his opinion, be expended
to a better advantage In meeting the le-
gitmate expenses of the campaign.

GROVER wEATHERs THE STORM.
Unfounded Sensational Reports
Anont at Washington.

AnOnt at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 1i.-Private Secretary
Thurber is authority for the statement
that there is not word OF truth In the
report that the members of the cabinet
have telegraphed to the President to re-
turn to Washington. A denial Of the
story is also given by Secretary Herbert.
Mr.. Thurber says II was not known until
last night where a dispatch would reach
the President, for Il was the intention of
the presidential party TO put in several
days shooting without interruption and
return to Washington by Friday or Sat
last night the President telegraphed
from Hatteras Point that he was enjoying
his trip, and meeting with gratifying sue
cess with his gun, and he added he would
probably return according to his origi-
nal intention, in season for the regular
Friday meeting. He stated that he was
in excellent health and was In no danger
from the prevailing storm.
In spite OF this official assurance from
Mr.. Thurber, there was considerable gos-
sip and speculation in administration and
political circles generally, in consequence
of the report that several Of the Presi-
dents advisers had telegraphed him to
hasten back to Washington to consider
the reply of Lord Salisbury on the Ven-
retary cariisie's report on the financial
condition OF the treasury. Various ru-
mors were in circulation to the effect that
the steamer Violet was in an exceeding
~ dangerous position and fears were ex-
pressed as to the safety of the presiden-
tial party. Yesterday a terrific storm
ragged about Hatteras the wind blowing
from the north and northwest at the rate
of hfty-six miles an hour. In fact, ali
along the coast IL blew at velocity OF
from fifty to sixty miles an hour. The
storm was central near Hatteras last
night 1t was learned yesterday that re-
quests have been made Of all government
employees along the coast to make no re-
port to the outside world Of the move-
ments of the presidential party, and the
only news obtainable is from masters Of
incoming vessels. The subject was free
ly discussed and commented upon to-
night in the hotels and clubs, but beyond
the statements of Private Secretary Thur
Der, no one was prepared to verify the
more or less sensational reports in circu-

is no fire department at ST. Francis, the
flames ate their way to other parts of the
building. In the asylum there were 1872
boys, ranging in age from to 10 years.
They all marched out in good order and
no one was hurt: AS there was no fire
apparatus, a bucket brigade was formed
