The House applauded Breckinridge
heartily as he sat down.
At the request of Goodnight, the entire
colloquy was stricken from the Record.
Thereupon Heard went over to Breckin-
ridge, and the late adversaries shook
hands. The white winged dove of peace
spread her wings, and the incident was
officially closed.
The House met at IL o'clock to-day, and
gave an hour to the debate on the Pacific
Railroad funding bill before taking up
the District of Columbia business, TO

towers lRep.) OF California opposed the
bill bitterly. In doing SO, however, he
severely condemned the methods pur-
sued by some Californian opponents of
the measure. notably Mayor Sutro of San
francisco, who has been flooding the
members with frantic appeals to kill the
bill.
Bryan Dem ofNebraska also opposed
the bill. which ne said dealt with two
ciasses-thoSe who had been guilty of
mlsmanagement and those who would
use the lines in the future. The title in
his opinion, should be amended so as to
make it read: Thou shalt not steal in
small amounts to visit the iniquities OF
the father on the son of the fourth gen.

ing upon the President to transmit all
correspondence and information regard
ing the report that the rebels against
the Hawaiian Government were incited,
supplied with arms and partly led by
persons who claimed TO be British sub
jects, and that the Minister of Great
Britain intervened in order to prevent
the application Of martial law to those
concerned in the rebellion. The report
recommended the passage of a substitute
covering the same ground III different
phraseology. hitt made the report in
Storer's absence, and asked for it's i'm
mediate passage.
McCreary, Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, deprecated what he
called further display of Hawaiian his
tory" He said his committee was unan-
imously In favor OF the resolution, and it
should be passed without stirring up this
old question again.
Heard then demanded the previous
question. This led TO the bandving of
epithels and personal encounter be-
tween Breckinridge and Heard, an as
count OF which Is given in these dis
patches.
After it was over, Reed demanded
tellers on yeas and nays. stating rather
sharply that the demand 1or the previous
question had suInmariIy ia ken Hit oil
his feet.
This led to another exciting scene. The
Speaker replied that he was willing TO
take the responsibility on himself. Alter
he had explained the parlia mentary situ-
alton Hitu explained the reason that he
had not been able to give way TO Heard
was that he did not know that the gentle
man wanted TO speak on the Hawaiian
question.
Then BrecliIridge, in his usual tone
with great coolneSs, said: II had desired
to say few words III opposition to the
resolution, but had not time to do So."
he would, in the future, have occasion to
say something upon 1t.
Then the resolution was adopted with
out division and with little opposition.
Then Springer (Dem.) of Illinois and
Cox DEM of Tennessee became involved
in a discussion over the statutes of the
report OF the Administration currency

port. Cox thought the report would cut

its views.

the report?" when Tracy of New York
shouted 10 him, The gentleman from
Tennessee is able to take care OF HIM

queer the whole thing. Thereupon sew

IN THE SENATE.
|. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The financial
question again came before the Senate TO-
Gay as an incident to the consideration
of the pending District of Columbia aD-
preparation bill. and Teller made an
effective speech to give the suggestive
warning that he would see to il that so
lar as the present session of Congress was
l. concerned there should be no hasty or
weak legislation on the lines now pro-
posed. In view of Teiler's recognized
position as an authority among the eIe-
ment favorable to. silver, the statement
was regarded as having an important
bearing ON the situation. Telier'S sDeech
was also noticeable in pointing out that
constitutional provision existed against
the plan suggested by GoruAn of adding
a financial measure to one of the appro-
priation bills.
German explained that he had not in
tended to say comprehensive revenue
legislation could be added to an appro-
prlatlon bill.
Mcpherson gave notice that be would
tomorrow call up the resolution dis
charging the Finance Committee from
further consideration of Sherman's bill to
provlds temporary means OF meeting de-
1iciencIes.
Most OF. the day was given to the con-
sideration OF the District of Columbia
appropriation bill without completing it,
Teller said the statement made by Cor
man last night contained most remarka-
Die declarations as to the condition of the
treasury. The statements were so start
ling that the country had not yet appre-
hended their full meaning. Teller read
from Gorman'S speech to the effect that
| the current obligations of the Govern
ment were Sl0O,OOO,O00 in excess of the
available income. Only the other day
est had stated on the floor of the Senate
that in a conversation with the Secretary
OF the Treasury the latter had given as
surances that revenues were ample for
! expenses. Teller read from the Presi-
denPs recent message to the same effect
! as to comfortable balances" but now,
said he, the Senator from Maryland
makes the extraordinary declaration OF a
present existing deficit of SI00, ,0O0, 600
/ based on his personal examination.
Referring to the proposed new bond
issue, Teller said it would be about as
| elective as pouring water ii sieve.
! And these bonds are being put out when
1 the Administration was claiming to have
ample revenue for expenses. Teller
added with great force: The adminis-
tration OF our financial affairs has never
been IN absolutely incompetent hands,
