much confusion and cries of Regular
order"
Then Mr.. Bailey. turning and facing
the floor, entered an objection in en-
phatic tones.

masse.

advantage, and the people of the whole

A SENSATIONAL CLIMAX.
At this juncture occurred the senSa-
tional climax of the day. Members all
about were in a state of frenzied ex-
element. Partisan passion was run
ming high. 1t required only the appli-
cation of a match to explode the maya
zine, and when the explosion came pam
demonium reigned.
Mr.. Bartlett Dem, Ga.), off to the
right of the chair, was supporting the
protests of the Democrats against the
tsunting words which were coming
from the other side. Suddenly, in his
rear. in the next tier of seats, came in
stentorian torres from Mr. Brumm
(Rep., Pa) taunt addressed generally
to the Democratic side You got just
what you did not want" he shouted.
THAT is not true cried out Mr..
Bartlett, who, il was explained subse-
quently. was addressing his remarks to
a Republican on the other side.

Brumm.
The lie had passed. Instantly Mr..

before him, and hurled it at his adver-
sary.

Whereas, The government of Spain
for three years past has been waging
war on the island of Cuba against a
revolution by the inhabitants thereof
Without making any substantial prog
reSs toward the suppression of said
revolution, and has conducted the war
fare in a manner contrary to the laws
of nations, by methods inhuman and
uncivilized, causing the death by
starvation of more than 100000 inno-
cent non-combatants, the victims being
for the most part helpless women and
children; inflicting intolerable injury to
the commercial interests of the United
States; involving the destruction of
lives and property of many OF our citi-

Washington, April 13.-The secretary
of the senate this afternoon officially
notified the presidents secretary of
the rejection of the nomination of H.

McGrew is officially informed of this
action he will cease to hold office, and
his duties will be performed by his col

other nomination. The new appointee
cannot assume his duties in advance
of confirmation, as the senate is in ses-
sion.

representa- today, after one of the
most exciting and memorable days in
its history, by a vote of 322 to 49,
adopted resolution which nine-tenths
of its members believe makes war with
Spain inevitable.
It is a fact which was grimly COM
mented upon today by members as they
spoke of the future. that every war in
which the United States has engaged
began in April. and that today was the
anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumter,
which aroused the patriotic. fervor Of
the north and made the four years of
civil strife certainty.
The resolutions adopted direct the
president to intervene at once in Cuba,
TO restore peace and secure 10 the peO-
pie of this island "a stable and indie
pendent government of their own and
authorizes him to use the army and
navy to execute the purpose of the res
olutiOns.
Although only 10 Inembers-15 Demo-
Gratis, Republicans and l Populst-
dissented upon the final vote, the pro-
ceedings were marred by a bitter an!
acrimonious display of partisan feel
ing. During the height of the excite
ment the lie was passed between Mr.
Brumm (Rep. Pa-) and Mr.. Bartlett
Dem. Ga.) and a disgraceful scene fol-
lowed that almost descended to the
level of 4 free fight. Order was finally
restored and later the two members
found that the alteration had arisen
out Of a misunderstanding, whereupon
there were mutual apologies.

Bank Examiners Cannot Accept Gompen-
sation From National Banks.

Washington. Jan. 20--Charles G..
Dawes. the comptroller OF the currency.
has issued the following circular To all
national banks and bank examiners:
1T has come to my attention that 1t
has been the custom of some national
bank examiners to accept employment
and compensation therefor in making
extra examinations and reports of con-
dtion of national banks assigned them
for regular examination, which exam
ination and reports are fer the use of
the bank and not for this office.
For an examiner to accept employ
ment in examinations of the same bank
from both the government and the
bank has a tendency to interfere with
that rigid impartiality which should
characterize his work as a government
official.
Notice is hereby given that here
after examiners will not be allowed to
accept employment from national
banks in making extra examinations
for private use of such banks

was evidently laboring under great
stress of feeling.
By this time the house was in an up
roar and the spectators in the galleries
were looking on with amazement.
Mr.. Bailey proceeded to explain the
circumstances under which the alleged
agreement was made. He said that
some of the members on his side de-
sired to attend the funeral of a distin-
guished ex-member (Mr. Butterworth),
yesterday afternoon, but they desired
to remain if there was to be any vote
He had approached the speaker, he said,
with the proposition of d vote on the
motion to recommit. The chair had as

formed his colleagues.

the instructions were to be-

could be heard shouting above the tu-

The chair is willing to rest the case
on that statement" declared the
speaker. as he beat the desk with his
gavel in his attempt to restore order
Mr.. Bailey thereupon appealed from
the decision of the chair, and Mr.. Dali
zell moved to lay the appeal on the
table. The roll was called amid much
confusion, but party lines were I'M

A TERRIBLE VENGEANCE
McComber Was Preparing to
Wreak 1t On Some One.
UTTERED WILD THREATS
He Made the Crowd Scatter by Firing
His Revolver Twice in the Air.
Was Sorry for His Escapade
When He Sobered Up.

Pedestrians in East Broadway flew TO
cover about noon yesterday when j. Il.
McComber. a miner employed in the
Mountain Con, began practicing on an
imaginary target, preparatory 10 wreak-
ing a terrible vengeance on another man
with whom he had trouble. He uttered
some wild threats and discharged his
gun twice, causing people in his vicinity
to stampede to a place of safety al
though the shots were fired in the air.
McComber, some time back, had
trouble with the shift boss in the Noun
tain Con, for whom he worked. Yester-
day he went on a drunk, and while in
his befuddled mental condition conceived
the idea that he should get even with
the shift boss. He started for the Hale
house in search of his man. He failed
to find him and started to leave, threat
ening boisterously to kill the shift boss
on sight. AS he reached the street Nc
Comber fired his gun in the air and
again few steps further down the
street Some of the boarders at the Hale
house attempted to disarm the man, but
he stood them off by threatening to
shoot anyone who approached him, and

time and took the gun away.
When Officer Harrington reached the
scene McComber had mysteriously dis
appeared. A search was made for him
about the vicinity and his room i'll West
Granite was visited. but he was not to
be found. Last evening he had sobered
up and was sorry for his escapade, and
not only refused to state who his in
tended victim was, but declared he did
not intend to shoot at anyone. Not
withstanding the gravity of McComber's
offense and the possibility that he might
in his drunken rage have taken life, he
has not been arrested. although it is said
he will be complained against for dis
charging firearms in the city limits.

WHITE ELECTED CHAIRMAN.
1t Is Considered Favorable to BaiIey's
Candidacy for the speakership.


Washington, Jan. 20-The new dem
ocratic congressional committee to-
night elected as chairman Senator
White of California. The election of
secretary, which had been expected, was
postponed to await action by an organ
ization committee of seven which will
be appointed by the new chairman.
The election has attracted a good deal
of attention in the house owing to its
bearing on the Speakership contest.
Senator White was supported by the
friends of Representative Bailey, who
are favorable to that gentleman's can
didacy in case the next house is demo-
cratic. Under these conditions consid-
cradle confidence was expressed in
Senator Whites election, although Mr..
.McRae. Richardson of Tennessee. Os-
borne of Wyoming, and Myers of Indi-
ana, had been prominent in the race.
Owing to the speakership issue, how
ever. the friends of Mr.. Bailey We're
DESTROYS that senator should head the
committee.
The meeting was quite fully attend
ed. 33 members being present which.
allowing for the several orphan"
states, made almost a full representa-
ton. An unexpected dark horse devel-
oped in Senator Cockrell of Missouri,
who was defeated by Senator White by
the narrow margin of IS TO l..
AS to the secretaryship ii is generally
conceded that Lawrence Gardner, the
present incumbent, will retire. The
most prominent candidate before the
organization committee is James Kerr
former clerk of the house.
The meeting adopted a resolution af-
firming it's adherence to the Chicago
platform. The election of Senator
White was regarded as a distinct tri-
muph by the SILVER men, who We're
