Grove l.. Johnson this morning received
a dispatch saying the Examiner had
printed these remarks in full purportine
to have been a speech uttered by Judge
Mcguire. Johnson then TOOK up the Con-
gressional Record and saw the printed re-
marks of Mcguire. So. during the consid-
Grafton OF bill in the House this morn
ing, he arose and demanded recognition
as a matter of personal privilege.
The Speaker denied this until the pend
ing business was disposed of. Johnson
resumed his seat. He was apparently
very much agitated, and mem ers of Con-
gress, who always expect something in
teresting when a member of Congress
rises to question of personal privilege"
laced Johnson and awaited developments.
Word was passed along the Capitol cor
ridors and vacant seats in the hail OF the
House were soon occupied. The mem bers
had been anticipating row between the
two California representatives, but they
were hardly prepared TO witness the ex-
citing scenes that followed. The CORE
spondents, who were listening to Senate
debates, hurried to the House wing, and
soon the House press gallery was crowded
with newspaper men. Finally Johnson
was recognized. His face was pale and
he could not control his agitation. The
hall of the House was as still as death,
when Johnson arose and said:
Mr.. Speaker: Last Friday / made some re-
marks upon the bill then pending before the
House known as the Pacific Railroad funding
bill. In the course OF my remarks in order to
illustrate the weakness of the opposition to
the bill coming from California undertook to
state the real secret under. yng causes If that
opposition, and / did Ii openly, boldly. know
ing whereof l spoke, and being responsible for
what said. / was informed that the gentle
man from California tMr. Maguire) intended
to assail me personally upon tie floor yester-
day, and to call me 10 account for what had
said, not with reference 10 himself but with
reference to some one else.
WAITED here yesterday all day, though not
well, in order to be prepared for the 'troas Z
ing'' that was to receive and to endeaycr TO
reply to any thing That might be said. This
morning my attention is called TO the Con-
gressional Record. where j find what purports
to be a speech delivered by the gentleman
from California, in which one whole column
is devoted TO bitter personal assault upon
myself That speech was not delivered upon
the floor OF this House. That speech was not
delivered anywhere, except By writing 1t up
on paper, handing 1t to the reporter and hav-
ing 1t printed In the Record.
Globe Democrat OF Monday morning, in which
the correspondent of that paper says Mr..
Mcguire is going to roast me is going to al
Jude to what has happened in my life; is
going to cause Grove Johnson's skeletons to
be led FORTH; and he states what Mr.. Mcguire
says he is going to say in reference to the
matter. Therefore, Mr.. Speaker, this was no
sudden burst of wrath. 1t was intended by
the gentleman from California to be given to
the people and to be given without allowing

Towne of Minneapolis then moved to
expunge Johnson's accusations against
Hearst, made on Friday. as follows:
1--WE knew him to be debauchee, a
dude in Dress an apglomaniac in Ian
guage and manners. but We thought he
was honest. We knew him to be licen-
tious in his tastes, regal in his dissipa-

or decent men, bnt we thought our Will

in his tastes, cratic in his moods, OF
small understandings and smaller views of
men and measures, but we thought our
Willie in his English plaids, his cockney
accents and his middle-parted hair, was
honest. We knew he had sought on the
banks of the Nile relief from disease, and
had riyaled the Khediye in the gorgeous
ness of his harem in the Joy of restored
health, but we still believed him honest,
though low and depraved. We knew he

his wickedness, but we believed MIN hon.

The House then refused to eliminate
Johnson's reference 10 Hearst by vote of
81 10 IS.
Judge Maguire's friends think THAI 1t
was unjust to expunge from the record his
remarks about Johnson while allowing
Johnson's accusations against Hearst to
stand. They say that the House was d.
vided on party lines and so il appeared
from the rollcall.
In all of the rollcalls Johnson voted on
his own side of the controversy. Judge
Mcguire did not vote at all; nor did Bow
ers, Barham or Loud. Hilborn voted to
strike out both references.
The end is not yet. 1t will not be "pis-
tolls and coffee for two" according to some
sensational rumors, for Judge Mcguire is
too sensible to fight duel, but he will
bring the matter up in the House again
tomorrow, if, as reported, Poole of New
York has eliminated from his speech in
the Record of tomorrow the paragraph in
which he admits that Johnson committed
forgery in Syracuse, without eliminating
at the same time his allegation that Ma
guire had made false statements about
Johnson.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 12,-The
Republican caucus IN The Senatorial con-
test was held tonight. The last day of
the contest was productive of so much &C
tivitY that it proved an interruption to
legislative business and neither house
held an afternoon session. The Fairbanks
people held caucus at o'clock to check
up their strength for the last time and
found that they had plenty and to spare.
The followers of McKeen, Wallace and
TAYLOR held a final caucus at o. clock.
The first subject discussed was as to
whether all the candidates should go be-
fore the caucus. The decision was the
same that it had been at all the caucuses
OF the .'tieId" held during the past week
namely, that the officers of ali three of
these candidates should go before The
caucus.
The McKeen caucus, in discussing the
question OF secret ballot, took no action
on the subject. though many of those
present declared that if an open ballot
were forced they would walk out of the
caucus.
The Fairbanks managers determined
upon a plan OF having a secret ballot,

the proposition was warmly debated for a
half hour.

Out of Order
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
hope of those members of the House who
are anxious to secure some legislation
with reference to the Pacific railroads this
session was quenched to-day by decision
of Speaker Reed. Yesterday Powers (R.)
of Vermont moved that the bill be recon-
mitted to the Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads, but objection was made that this
was not introduced as other business had
interviewed. Speaker Reed asked until to-
day TO render decision. Soon after the
House met he stated as his opinionthat
the motion of the gentleman from Yer
mont to recommit the bill was not in
order.
The motion, he said, could have been
made if the House had passed the bill to a
third reading or if other business had not

in the bill is the portrait of Daniel Man

sunken in the background. In the coun-
terfeit the nose appears sharp and pointed,
while in the genuine it is round and broad
at the end. There are other defects. The
counterfeit is printed on good quality of
paper, but lacks the distributed fiber found
in the genuine note.

selves and have sole control OF all reve-
nues of the island and in return the Gu
bans are to pay to Spain large sum of
money. the amount not yet specified. to

Mike Donoghue on top of Stewart, and
prostrate man. He did not see Nike either
strike or kick Stewart
Harry Armstrong, another boy who tes-
tified before the jury, knew nothing be-
yond the fact that there was a row ut
walk away staggering.
Mrs. Ellen o Nell, Donoghue's sister, said
she left the two men in the house an
hour before the trouble was said 10 have
occurred, and they were apparently on
friendly terms. Daniel Koons, the colored
man who helped carry Stewart to his
brother Marion's house, testified to that
fact, and said he thought the man was
suffering only from the effects OF drink,
although he complained of intense pain in
the stomach.
Blanche Stewart, the sister of the dead
man, gave the most sensational testi-
mony of the inquest She said her brother
told her Mike Donoghue had struck him
a terrible blow, and he was afraid it
was going to cost him his life
Mr.. Birney, Donoghue's counsel, OBJ
jected to this testimony on the ground
that it was hearsay, and therefore i'm
proper.
Coroner Hammett, however, decide d
it was admissible, and the witness ti'e:I
told of the words uttered by her brother
ten minutes before he died. They Were;
my God, that blow l got " as an awful
one"
Mrs. Ellen Spates, of 3403 P street,
said she was called in by the dead man S
sister Blanche, and that she, too, heard
tire dying man say few moments before
his. death that the blow he received from
Mike Donoghue was an awful one.
The prisoner then gave a statement Of
the events W hich occurred in the house. He
claimed that in starting down the back
steps of his house with Stewart they both
stumbled and fell down the steps together.
This closed the testimony, and after half
an hours delberation>he jury agreed upon
the verdict as stated.
