Rev DIR. William T. Hatcher on sun
day celebrated the twenty-second ami
versary OF his pastorate with the Grace
Street Baptist congregation, and at the
same time the congregation entered upon
a new fiscal year. DIR. Hatcher had been
away for three weeks, and at the morn
ing service occupied his pulpit at the
tabernacle The pulpit was prettily deco
rated with fragrant flowers. which had
been placed there by the ladies' OF the
church. and the pastor was greeted by a
large and attentive gathering.
An exceptionally fine musical pro-
gramme was rendered by the quartetie
choir. and DR.. Hatcher preached from
the nth verse of the 90th Psalm. He then
made an appeal for 500 for foreign mis-
sions. and when the collection was count
cd sol were found in the plate.
Or. r.. j. Willingham followed DR..
Hatcher. and paid high tribute TO the
pastor. telling briefly OF the great work
he has accomplished in the ministry.
In the afternoon a business meeting
was held. and reports OF all departments
OF church work were submitted. Ii was
shown that there had been decrease IN
the membership during the past year.
This is attributed To the fact that no
revival services have been held, the whole
attention of the church being taken up
with the building Of the new house OF
Worship.
Al the opening of the meeting Dr.
Hatcher received into the church DR. A.

tary OF the Foreign Mission Board, ana
his family. and said that they were the
first fruits Of a great ingathering that he
expected for the next year.

sensational Sequel to the John.
son-H'earst Affair Occurs
in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The house
witnessed sensational sequal to the
remarkable attack made by Mr.. john
sen Of California on Editor Hearst. Mr.
johnson and Mr.. Mcguire Dem, Cali
were the 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 III which Mr.. 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 in Syracuse,
n. Y. Mr.. Johnson got the floor on
question of privilege. He was at times
dramatic. He. denounced Mr.. Maguires
attack on him as
Wanton and Cowardly.
and told the story of his indictment "a
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 ex-
planned that all this was an old story
in California, where he had always
avowed it when he ran for Office. Then
with bitter invective he paid his re-
spccts to Mr.. Mcguire and Mr.. Cooper
OF Wisconsin, who last week charac-
terized his attack on Mr.. Hearst as
cowardly.
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
man unable to secure a hearing for
himself He
.Sneered at Mr. johnson
for whining because his attack went
home to him, and said he should have
thought of the grief and anguish he
was bringing to. another before he as
sailed Mr.. Hearst Mr.. Poole of New
York made motion to expunge Mr..
Maguire's remarks from The Record,
which was adopted, after Mr.. McMillin
had Intellectually attempted to delay
action, but similar motion to expunge
Mr.. Johnson's remarks about Mr..
Hearst was defeated-S2 to 94 The in
cident overshadOwed interest in the
house proceedings. Early i'll the day
the speaker sustained the point of or

Senator Allison was not asked to take
the state portfolio; that he was offered
the treasury portfolio and declined
it. Mr.. Grosvenor said that Con.

question in connection with the treas
ury department because Of his health.

Whose Deal,

DR.. Taylor, of St. Lawrence, was
in Miller seeking signers to apetition
asking that the Office of state Engi-
neer of Irrigation be abolished. The
fact that DR.. Sweetland had already
circulated a petition for appoint
ment to this position. together with
the fact that II. w. Sawyer also as
pired for IL position at the hands Of
the victOrs, caused some interest and
discussion among populist leaders.
1t would not seem probable that
both Mr.. Sawyer and Mr.. Sweetland
could secure place, and whichever
one succeeded, the other woul, prac-
tically be shelved. AS Mr. Sweetland
got out his petition first, the leaders
seem to think that Mr.. Sawyer's cOun-
ter effort is to show petitiOn from
this county asking to have the Office
abolished.

FREE HOMESTEAD BILL.
Debate Over the Measure i'm the Senate
Takes n Wide Range.


Takes Wide Range.
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 of Wisconsin
concerning the party differences of last
fall. Mr.. Villas declared that there
was almost nothing i'll the Chicago
platform not inimical to the interests
of the government. He insisted that
the Indianapolis platform was founded
throughout in Democracy. Mr.. Allen
characterized the indianapolis platform
as Il "rump affair" The controversy
became very lively and took wide
range.
The homestead bill was further de.
bated but vote was not reached. Mr..
Villas attacked it as a measure giving
away $50, ,0O0, 600 of government money.
Mr.. Nelson (Rep., Mimi, Mr.. Allen
and Mr.. PETER Pop, Kan.) spoke for
the bill. Mr.. Hill Dem, N. ", who
has not even addressed the senate of
late, spoke in favor of law fixing four
years AS the term of fourth class post
masters.
