l&ing the salary Of a Federal Marsha
was interrupted to-day by rather vio-
Tent scene, precipitated by a speech
Irom Hartman (Rep) of Montana, re
senting President Cleveland's remarks
IN ms Carnegie Hall missionary speech
tuesday night, in which he spoke Of
Corrupt and unsafe States and unde-
Slfable Territories in the West
Hartman denied the right Of the Pres
ldent, as he said. to insult the sections
OF the country and the citizens thereof
He had not proceeded far ere he was
called to order by Powers (Rep.) of Yer
mont, who said he did SO because there
was nobody on the Democratic side re-
lated to the President by affinity or con-
sanguinity who seemed sufficiently in
terested to act.
The Chairman, Hepburn (Rep.) OF
Iowa, ruled that the speaker was pro-
ceeding within the rules. and Hartman
proceeded.
Inspired by Powers, Hartman's re-
marks were loudly opposed by Miles
Dem) Of Maryland and Sulzer (Dem of
New York, but they could not tear him
off. The former appealed from another
decision by Chairman Hepburn, ruling
noxious to objection under the rule re-
curing debate to be germaine to the
subject under discussion, but all the Re-
publicans and some Democrats voted to
sustain it, the appeal teing overwhelm-
ingly defeated.
In the course of the incident, Grosve-
nor of Ohio, who was endeavoring to
get time in which Hartman could finish
hi
loquy with Sulzer.
The latter objected TO Grosvenor tax
ing part in the affair, because in a
speech the other day he had admitted
that he had no religion. and therefore,
Sulzer contended, he was not qualified
To discuss the matter
Grosvenor responded by denying that
he had said he had no religion, but he
believed he would rather stand under
that imputation than not to possess the
slightest modicum of common-sense
This was greeted with laughter on both
sides.
Hartman finally concluded his re-
marks, resenting both on behalf of the
maligned and slandered people of the
States referred to by the President, and
asserting that they demonstrated that
the greatest need Tor the schoolmaster
and missionary was in the White
House.
The Republicans gathered about
Hartman's seat while he was on his
feet and applauded him loudly, while
the Democrats encouraged Miller and
Sulzer in their efforts to prevent him
from continuing his criticisms upon the
President.
Early in the day the Senate's request
for a conference on the Cuban resolu-
tions was agreed to, and Speaker Reed
announced Hit, Adams and McCreary
as managers on the part of the House.
The bill making national military
parks public fields for military ma
neuvers and drill grounds for the regu-
lar army and State militia under regu-
lations fixed by the Secretary of War
was passed.
The rest of the day was spent in fur
ther discussion of the fee and salary

and judicial appropriation bill, most of
the time upon the section fixing sala-
ries of District Marshals. But one
change was made in the schedule pro-
posed by the committee, that of the
