trivial act. What a prodigy; what an ex-
plot in politics. The question was not
whether Mr.. Bayard had violated good taste
In his address, but owhether 1t was in good
taste for the house Of representatives to
condemn him for what, he had done. Like
MIR. Tucker, yesterday, he paid an eloquent
tribute to Mr.. Bayard for his services to the
south in the days Of her despair. and he then
proceeled to recall again the Chandler in
terview and the charges Of levying on the
protected industries by the Mckinley agents.
Mr.. Grosvenor tried ya'nly to interrupt Mr..
Turner.
CUT G~RoSvBNoR OFF.
You have had your time" said Mr..
Turner, when you, stood over the grave OF
General Schenck yesterday defending him
from the imputatiohsd against him, you said
not one word against the stories about the
agents OF the presidential candidate you ia
vCr. In the face OF such a state of things.
Mr.. Speaker he continued, II ask If 1t IL
not a strange coincidence that the demonstra-
ton should follow the statement as the thun-
der fellows the lightning?" applause on the
democratic side) Speaking still of charges
OF political corruption, he said the "addi-
ton" was going on AMI the division, "and Isl
lence' would come later. daughter on DEM
ocratic s!de)
After a few words by Mr.. New!ands Mr..
Hit, chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee, yielded the remainder of his time
to Mr.. Bailey, who made a speech in favor
of the resolutions. The Edinburgh speech
might, he said, be a breach of propriety, but
it did not warrant these resolutions of cen
sure. The Boston speech characterizing the
people of the United States as a violent peo-
pie was much more serious. 1t was n breach
Of good taste and diplomatic etiquette, and
was an offense against our common sense
and sound and rugged patriotism. Repub-
iican applause) A hundred years Of quiet
submission to the laws repealed the charges

Mr.. Bailey concluded by saying that a man
who would express such sentiments as thoss
of Mr.. Bayard at Boston was unworthy to
represent this country anywhere or at any
time" loud and long applause)
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bailey's remarks
Mr.. Hit asked for a vote.
AT the request OF Mr.. Willis the vote was
taken separately on the two resolutions. The
first resolution censurei Mr.. Bayard in the
name of the American people. The second
condemned in general terms the delivery Of
partisan speeches by our foreign representa-
tives.
The first resolution was adopted, 1911 to SO.
Nine democrats voted for this resolution and
40 republicans against it, The nine demo
Gratis were: Allen of Mississippi, Bailey,
Cummings. Hutchinson, Layton, Owens, Pen
dleton, Sorg and Stokes.
On motion of Mr.. Dingley the house de-
cided that when it adjourned today 1t be
to meet on Monday next.
VOTED BOATNER OUT.
The contested election case of Benoit
against Boatner, from the Fifth district Of
Louisiana, was then called up. According
to the face Of the returns Mr.. Boatner had
received $500 votes and Mr.. Benoit 1884.
The minority commended that the purged re-
turns would still elect Mr.. Boatner by over
5000. Under an arrangement made the time
up to 4 o'clock was divided and consumed
in the reading Of the testimony Gu which the
conclusion Of the majority and minority re-
ports were based. Mr.. Boatner, the con-
testee, and Mr.. Benoit, the contestant, were
then each allowed ten minutes in which to
close. Mr.. Benoit took occasion to denounce
in the most vigorous terms the democratic
election methods In Louisiana.
The vote was first taken on the minority
substitute resolution declaring Mr.. Boatner
entitled to the SCAT. The resolution was de-
feated-yeas 50, nays ISL. Three republicans,
Fletcher, johnson and Ray, voted for the
resolution. The minority resolution declar-
ing the seat vacant was then adopted with
out division.
At 5 o'clock the house took a recess until
s o'clock, the evening r&ession to be devoted
to the consideration Of private pension bills.
