caucus was called to cOnsiOer but al
iourned until Friday. This failure was
not due to any opposition 10 the propo-

of the bill prepared by the Wolcott
committee was Objectionable to some.
The bill as drafted provides for the con-
sideration of the free mlntage OF
silver.
Some of the western members OF the
caucus objected to this wording, saying
that it should be so amended as to pro-
VIDE for free and unlimited coinage.
Senator Allison impressed the caucus in
a brief speech with the necessity of a
complete outline of what was wanted
Ii was suggested that it would be bet

Hot Sequel In the House to HIS ATTACK
on Editor Hearst.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-The house
has witnessed a sensational sequel to
the remarkable attack made by Mr.
Johnson (Cal.) on Editor Hearst MIR
johnson and Mr.. Mcguire Dem, Cali
were antagonists. Their wordy duel
grew out of the publication in The
Record. as a part of Mr.. Maguire's re-
marks of comments on the fOrmers :
speech last week in which MIR. Mcguire
defended Mr.. Hearst, and without the
mention of Mr.. JOhnsOn's name de
tailed some matters in the early life OF
the latter when he resided III Syracuse.
N Y. Mr.. johnson got the floor on a
question of privilege. He was at times
dramatic. He denounced Mr.. Mcguire :
attack on him as wantOu and cOwardly
and told the story of his Indictment 81
years ago in New York for forgery and
how he had gone out TO California TO
rear new home and make new
name He described his success and
how he had been able TO pay back every
dollar he owed. He then explained
that all this was an old story in Cali
.fornia WHERE he had always avOwed it
when he ran for Office. Then with
bitter invectlve he paid his respects to
Mr. Mcguire and Mr.. Cooper (Wis) J.,
who last week characterized his attack
ON Mr.. Hear t as cOwa1 dly.
Mr. Mcguire replied TO Mr.. Johnson
in a sarcastic vein. He told how he
had attempted to secure time in which
TO reply to Mr.. Johnson during the de
bate and had been unable to do so, and
how he had printed his defense of a
man unable to secure hearing for him
sell. He sneered at Mr.. Johnson fOI
whining because his attack went homo
to him, and said he should have thought
of the grief and anguish he was bring
ing to another before he assailed Mr.

represents the Syracuse district, made
brief statement in vindication of Mr.

The Senate Debates as to Which Was
Democratic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Some lively
political sparring marked the later
hours of the senate session. The free
homestead bill was under discussion
and Mr.. Allen found opportunity for
questioning Mr.. Villas wis concerning
the party differences of last fall. 1t
brought out much difference of opinion
as to whether the Democratic platform
was made at Chicago, or at indianapolis.
MIR. Villas declared that there was
almost nothing in the Chicago platform
not inimical to the interests of the gov
ernment. He insisted that the Indian
apolis platform was founded throughout
in Democracy. Mr.. Allen characterized
the Indianapolis platform as a ''rump
affair" The controversy became very
lively and took a wide range.
The homestead bill was further de-
bated, but a vote was not reached. Mr..
Villas attacked it as a measure giving
