MIR. BAILEY OF TEXAS
In His Own Peculiar Style, Tells Them How 1t Happened" d"-Forelgn Ambassadors
 Protest Against Tariff Bill.

tlOnS or the recent denOCfdIlc caucus were brought into the house today and were throshed over again, to the evident edifieatlon of the republicans. MT. Bai- ley, of Texas, produced a newspaper ar ticle accusing him of wearing Ar. Reeds collar and of acting under MT. Reeds suggestion, in acquieseing in the repub- lican policy of inaction. Denouncing the statement as a lie, MT. Bailey re- peated the reasons for his course here tofore given by him.
 MT. Dearmond, of Missouri, in reply to Mr. Bailey, declared that the verdict of the caucus had been an indorsement of his policy of fighting the republicans at all points,
 MT. Burke, of Texas, offered personal explanation similar to that made by Mir. Bailey. The expected alignment of the democrats, by a vote on MT. Dingley's motion to adjourn until Wednesday, was ayerted because all the democrats op- posed the motion on account of MT. Ding, ley's refusal to yield for the considera tion of resolution of inquiry concern ing the policy of the government in the Union Pacific foreclosure suits which MT Bland, of Missouri, vainly attempted to bring up Much feeling was displayed by the two democratic factions and after the house had adjourned fruitless at- LeuuplS were lldue tO nave lilSll tlOuDleS considered in another caucus.
 When the house met the presidents message urging congress to take action for representation of the United States in the forthcoming international eXposi- ton at Paris, which had been sent to the senate on Wednesday was read. Then MT. Bailey, of Texas, rose to a question of personal privilege and had read an editorial in a Washington paper headed, From Maker to Wearer." The article IL, Mir Bailey" was "the leadership of old, old MT. Reed" said that Bailey was wearing Reeds collar, and that the dem- ocrats would have done as well to elect MT. Reed as their leader as to chose a middle man.
 MT. Bailey denounced the article as an infamous and malicious lie," and added, "I denounce every man who has helped to circulate it as an infamous, malicious liar.' This declaration was applauded. MT Bailey, continuing, said he thought it necessary to again state his position. He was, he said, convinced that the dem- ocratic party did not expect nor desire it's representatives to resort to useless and captious opposition to republican policies in congress. In support of this he read an article from the Atlanta Con- stituton and quoted from an interview with Senator Jones, the chairman of the national democratic committee. It was well understood, he added, that the dem ocrats could not force the republicans to general legislation. Some of the demo- crats were so opposed to the republicans that they would force them to make bad laws for democratic advantage, but he held that no legislation, by the republic ans was best for the country.
 He would vote for motion by MT Dingley to adjourn because he looked net t.ethe maker of the motion, but to lds susssance, but If MT. Simpson moved to adjourn for longer time he would vote with MT. Simpson.
 The republicans of the house had a't- tempted to carry out their contract to restore prosperity to thie country by giv- ing it a protective taIdff and maintaining the gold standard. He believed that the dsthocrats should give them every chance t6 carry out theil programme, urlsss the democrats were less confident that the republicans would fail than the repub- lfcans' were that they would succeed
 IT am partisan" he said "but I would rather have republican prosperity than democratic depression" Republican ap- pIause).
 Every lobbyist, every claim agent, every Representative of monopolies were fighting him, MT Bailey said, because they desired general legislation. They had subsidized against him all the news papers whose columns could be bought Thousands who voted for republican prosperity last fall were tre embling on the balance ready to deser. that party if its policy failed.
 When Mr. Bailey finished he was ap- plauded by those democrats who sup ponted him in the caucus, and a dozen members, Messrs. Dingley, Glosvenor, DeArmond, Bland and Simpson among them, were clamoring for recognition.
 MT. Grosvencr, republican, of Ohio, said: q make the point of order that question germane to the democratic cau- GUS should not usurp the time of this house."
 Speaker Reed overruled the point and recognized MT. Dingley, who said that the appropriation bills could not come from nhe house before Wednesday, and moved to adjourn until that day.
 Mr Bland. democrat. of Missouri. was waving aloft a paper ard MT. Bailey begged MT. DingIey ito withdraw his mo- tion. explaining the gentleman of Mis- souri has matter that is actually one of public business"
 The republicans miscons,rued MT. Bai- ley's rema rks and drowned his voice with shonhs of laughter.
 Mr. Dingley's motion was carried by practically a party vo.e-yeaE 106; nays S4. There was something of rustic on the democra tic side when MT. DeArmond, who has recently headed the opposition to the leadership of MT. Bailey, rose to speak also Do a question of personal priv ilege. He prefaced his remarks by the explanation that he spoke more from a sense of duty than from inclination.
 Recent events had only confirmed him in his own views, which were opposed to the views held by some of his disiis gutahed collen gues.
 MT. DeArmond cor.inued his speech with declaration tarat large majority of democrats expected their presenta- tives In congress to oppose republican policies. rrheG- had not contemplated that rnere would be any considered or accitestal concurrence of democrats in policies, bonn in republican councils for the overthrow of the democratic party.
 .That is where started on this u,les- ton; that is where ams that Is where I shall renuin, and l expect the people behind. me ho indorse that altitude"
 He asserted that tt had been feralded abroad that there was disposition on the part of certain democrats to rebel against established lea adership agreed upon by caucus. What had been done. and what had heen done in the last caucus. had been published by those who were dead to obiga tions of secrecy. but if all action of that caucus was known
