One OF the most dramatic and sensa-
tional episodes of this congress followed.
The speaker of the house and Mr.. Bailey
of Texas, the Democratic leader, clashed
on a question Of veracity. and the ex-
citement was intense Mr.. Bailey moved
to recommit the bill with instructions to
the committee to report it back with an
amendment embodyng the terms of the
senate Cuban belligerency resolution.
Mr.. Hit made the point Of order that
the amendment was not germane and
was obnoxious to the rule against new
legislation. This point the speaker sus-
tanned
Mr.. Bailey, surrounded by group Of
Democrats. protested that the agree
ment included provision for vote on the
motion TO recommit. Mr.. Hit denied
this, saying that the notice Of the motion
80 recommit was given afterward.
There was mitch confusion while Mr..
Hit was talking, and when he con-
cluded. Mr.. Bailey electrified the house
with the statement that he had dis
tinct understanding to that effect with
the speaker of the house
"The chair states that the gentleman
from Texas Is mistaken" retorted the
speaker from the chair In the most em-
phatic tones. The speaker looked the
Texan straight in the eye and his voice
uuivered with emotion" The chair never
agreed that motion which was plainly
out OF order would be entertained. The
gentleman notified me that there would
be no further opposition"
"And I make the statement" declared
Mr. Bailey without hinchlng. that we
did have such an agreement" He. too
was evidently laboring under great stress

Washington, Feb. 25.-Thanks to the
promptncss and efficiency Of the chief
OF engineers and the chief of ordnance
Of the army, the City OF Washington
is now regarded as being well nigh
safe and secure from attack by water.
The fortificatIons at Fort Washington
and Sheridan Point. on the opposite
side OF the Potomac, are sufficiently
advanced to be able to repel IN ordin-
ary fleet OF invaders, and In case OF
necessity they could be vastly strength
ened I'm n comparatively short time.
These defenses are considered suffi-
cient to keep all hostile vessels be-
yond the range of gunshot of the na-
tional capital.
Moreover, the river has been blocked
on and prepared for mines and torpe-
does at point below the fortificntiona
already mentioned, SO that It is prob.
able some of the ships OF nm enemy
would be blown out of the water be-
fore 1t would be necessary to use the
guns at the forts.
