York and Tennessee.

| WASHINGTON, March 19.-Under an
| agreement reached just prior to the
! adjournment Cf the house today the
vote on the resolutions to censure Mr..
! Bayard will be taken at , o'clock to-
| morrow. The debate on the resolutions
! today at times drifted into a discus
| sion of the merits of protection as an
! economic policy. Mr. Tucker Dem,
Va.), who made the principal speech
| in opposition, defended Mr.. Bayards S
! utterances, and Senator Chambers in
| terview was again brought forward as
a vindication of Mr.. Bayard's state
| ment that protection tended to corrupt
public life. The Republicans wed with
| each other in upholding and eulogizing
| protection. Mr.. Pearson of North Car
Dina, announced that the ca didate
| who would be nominated at st. Louis
! would be the man "who measured up
! most nearly to the ideal standard the
| living representation of the doctrine of
| protection Mr.. Barrett, of Massa-
! chusetts, and Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
! also spoke. The day concluded with an
| amusing alteration between Mr.. Sui
! zer, of New York, and Mr.. Gibson Of
! Tennessee
The resolutions to censure AmbaSsa-
! dor Bayard were called up Immediately
after the reading of the journal. MI.
! Taft (Rep., o. took the floor in sup
port of the resolutions, and made a
stirring speech. When MI. Taft con-
/ cluded, he yielded a few minutes to
! Mr.. Grosvenor Rep., o. to reply to
! the remarks made by Mr.. McCreary
/ yesterday inr egard to Gen. Schneck
| Mr. Grosvenor rehearsed Gen. Schenck's S
! career, and paid glowing tribute to
! his services in the army, in congress
and in the diplomatic service. Mr..
! Pearson Rep., N. c. followed in an
! address favoring the resolutions.
| Mr.. Tucker Oem., Va.), a member
| of the foreign affairs committee, was
| the first speaker today in opposition
| to the adoption of the resolution. Mr..
! Tucker argued that the Republicans
We're deluding themselves with the idea
I that Mr.. Bayards characterization of
! the American people was offensive.
! Personally, he was proud of the de-
! scription of them as a strong, self
! confident and oftentimes violent peo-
! ple-men who seek to have their own
| way" That was a glorious descrip-
| tion of history of the Anglo-SaXons
| as a people. He argued that the
| American people were sometimes "vio-
! lent He cited the strikes at Chi
cago and other places, the mob vio-
| lence at New Orleans, the calling out
| of the military a few days ago in
Kentucky. MI. Tucker, like Mr.. Dins-
| more, referred to the Chandler inter-
! view, charging that the protected in
| dustries had been levied on by the
Mckinley agents, and that those in
dustries would own him and make
merchandise of him if elected In
the light of that interview, he asked,
| did not the words OF Mr.. Bayard, that
! protection corrupted public life" fall
! as gratefully on the ears as the sound
! of rain on the roof in time of thought?
Suppose all Mr.. Chandler says in
that interview is true, which L deny"
! interrupted Mr.. NOrthway (Rep., o.,
/ hotly; rs that any reason why Mr..
! Bayard should denounce his country
men to a foreign audience?"
Il call Mr.. Chandler" replied Mr..
| Tucker, ''as a witness to prove my
case, and l know of no man better
! 'Versed in the inner workings of Re-
publican politics than William E.
! Chandler
You call him on the theory that
! he has turned states evidence, and
! that there is no other evidence"
! There is ample evidence respond
ed Mr.. Tucker, that the Republicans
fry the fat out of the manufacturers
| with becoming regularity
Have not the Democrats, during the
past three years, effectually fried the
fat out of the manufacturers and ev-
erybody else?" asked Mr.. Call (Rep.,
| Mass.).
Not in the way you mean," replied
! Mr.. Tucker. Uaughter.)
Mr.. Tucker argued that the resolu-
tions meant nothing. He closed with
a magnificent tribute to Mr.. Bayards
| personal character. After some brief
remarks by Mr.. Call Rep., Mass.) in
favor of the resolutions, Mr.. Barrett
| (Rep., Mass.), the author of the or
iginai resolutions of impeachment,
took the floor. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Barretts speech an agreement
was effected for taking a vote at 2
| o'clock tomorrow.
After some further remarks by Mr.
Cooper Oem., Ala.) against the reso-
lutions, and Mr.. Watson Rep., o.
and Mr.. Gibson (Rep., Tenn) in favor
of them, Mr.. Sulzer Oem., N. Y) en-
| liVened the proceedings with some per-
sonal remarks about the valor of Re-
| publicans who assailed Thomas F.
Bayard when he was not present to
defend himself. He devoted most of
| his time to Mr. Gibson, of Tennessee.
| displaying to the house a circular
which he said was sent out under
Mr.. Gibson'S frank desiring his quail
! fications as candidate, and entitled
Rally, Boys, Once Again. Send Glib
son back to congress and the country
is saved
Mr.. Gibson with flushed and angry
| face, jumped to his feet and shouted
out that man who would make such
a charge was a coward.
Il did not hear the gentleman's re-
mark, said Mr.. Sulzer, who declined
| to yield, but / suggest that the next
time he addresses me he uses a trum-
pet"
Later, Mr.. Sulzer accepted Mr.. Glib
sons disclaimer that the circular re-
ferred to had not been sent out under
| his frank. He had been so informed.
The Statement is an infamous false
hood" shouted Mr.. Gibson, and your
informer originated vile slander and
you are no better than he isl
Il decline to yield,' said Mr.. Sulzer
Your tactics are those of the cow
ard" called out Mr.. Gibson, above the
| din and confusion.
When Mr.. Sulzer sat down, Mr.. Glib
son got the floor and made a brief re-
ply in which he denied that he had
franked the circular. Mr.. Sulzer,
he said had 1ourished a picture of
