A Scene in the House.
(From the Chicago News }

tfrOm Tue chicago news
The American people may rest assured
OF one thing-namely, that so long as the
strong chubby hand Of Thomas Il. Reed
steers the course of the House OF Repre-
sentatives that body will pursue the hign-
est interests of the nation and no trurnpery
or sinister devices will be suffered to DC
guile it tiierefroin.
A striking instance in point occurred yes
terday One Terry, q Representative from
Arkansas, sought 10 distract the attention
of the House TO some trouble or other said
to be going for ward in Cuba, an island ly-
ing around somewhere below Florida
The attempt was most ingeniously made,
Terry seeking to drag the questionin under
the guise OF d matter OF personal privilege.
lie began speaking in a bland and insinuat
ing tone The situation was most critical.
In a moment. Oh in another half-hour at
most, the House OF Representatives, might
have been committed to the considerati., N
of something.
But Thomas B Reed was there His
watchfuI ear was open. The instant the
word Cuba irnpinged thereon, the great
Speaker awoke with snort. One mo-
nent he stood erect, vigilant, trying to
remember whether 1t was time to adjourn
or to go to breakfast. The next moment
he took in the situation and his gavcI be-
gan playing hike steam triphammer. In
the twiukling Of an eye the scene was
changed All over the House members
we're waking up. Some said. ''Is it
morning. Others, us this Buffalo2''
Others merely rubbed their eyes. But
they were awake. They voted with the
Speaker The day was saved. Terry was
defeated and squelched. The House re
sunled consideration of the bill to prevent
collisions on the inland waters of the
United States. and the members went to
sleep again.
1t is said that Terry owns Cuba. Hence
his attempt to get it into the House pro-
ccedings. However that may be, it is
certain that Cuba will never get in un-
less somebody chloroforms the Speaker.

Mr.. Reed ina giDed that he was playing
very sbrewd game, when, in reply TO thu
protests OF the Democratic members on.
the question OF che appointment Of the com
uittees of the House, he shifted the re-
spousibility from himself to the House He
evidently regarded it as a matter within
the jurisdiction of the House. and IN this
he was supported by the deciarattou Of
AIR Carlisle when Speaker This ruling
of Mr Reed only got him deeper in the
nire of unconstitutionality in which he has
involved himself since the Democrats made
theiE first protest
resolution which. he desired 10 have re-
ferred to q special committee, If neces-
sary-the resolution on the question OF Gu
ban helligereney. Mr. Terry was about
tn argue that it was a question for the
House and not for the Speaker. " hen Mr..
Reed ehoLcd him off by listening to the
cries OF regular order and further suppress
ing him by the gavel Mr.. Reed went fur
uher and declared out OF hand that Air

to n previous ruling. he had submitted

TALKING FOR wINTERsrEEN..
Attorney Jacobs Argument for the
Alleged Dynamtter.

Bloomsbury Pa. June 10.-The closing
speeches for the defense were made this
afternoon in the famous KnOrr-Wintersteen
dynamite case. The courthouse was packed
TO the doors and outside the doon and
windows smallcrowds gathered. Attorney
Jacobs acknowledged that Wintersteen had
done many indiscreet things but argued
that no man should be convicted of muir
der for indiscretion He acknowledged
that Wintersteen had made threats but
a man who makes threats openly and
unguardedly as the defendant did, never
means any harm The man who has muir
der in his heart generally STILES his threats.
He compared the threats of Wintersteen
to the barking or large dog behind q
fence: he would never bite
Tomorrow morning the district attor-
ney will make the closing speech for the
prosecution. Judge Eunentroat willcbarge
