An Alteration Between Two Representa-
tiYeS In Congress.
One of the Participants Receives an
Ugly Cash in the Head.
The Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania Indorses the Cam
didacy of Senator Quay for the
Presidential Nomination.

| WASHINGTON, April 23-Repre-
sentative Hall of Missouri Dem) and
Money of Mississippi Dem.) got into
an alteration in the room of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs this morn
ing. They threw inkstands at each
each other Money was hit on the back
of the head, sustaining an ugly cash,
from which the blood flowed copiously
He was removed to the barber shop and
his wounds dressed.
The encounter between the two Rep
resentatives is thought to be the re-
suit of misunderstanding. There was
an informal discussion in the COM
mittee of the bill introduced some
months ago by Wilson of New York;
which is designed to promote the eff
cheney of the corps of the navy. Sew
eral days ago Wilson received an
anonymous letter severely criticising
the measure. He was busy at the time,
| and handed it to Hall, who is one of
the supporters of the bill. In the con-
versation this morning the subject of
the old contest between the line and
staff of the navy was touched upon.
Hall spoke in this connection of the
anonymous circular, and said that peo-
contained in it were saying what was
not true.
Money, it should be explained, was
opposed to the bill, and construed Halls
reference to the circular as being per-
sonally applied to him. He is reported
to have exclaimed Immediately, look
| squarely at Hall: You're a - liar."
| Hall replied that he allowed no man
to characterize him in that fashion, and,
springing to his feet, started around the
| committee table to meet Money, the
! latter having also started in Halls di-
rection
! A moment later Hall grabbed a glass
| inkstand and threw it with great vio-
lence, striking Money on the head above
the left eye. The latter fired back an
| inkstand, which passed harmlessly over
Halls head, and barely escaped strik-
| ing Wilson
| At that moment Coaley, the mes
| senger Of the committee with others
who were present succeeded in parting
the belligerent Congressman.
| Money was teeding profusely, and
was taken down stairs and had his
wound dressed. Hall remained in the
Naval Committee room for some time,
and little later took his seat in the
House
