A SCENE THE HOUSE.

There was scene of great excite
ment in the House of Representatives
late Thursday afternoon, during the
of the bill for the reor-
ganization of the army. 1t was caused
by Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat, who
made an assault On the adminlstra-
ton charging that tho policy OF d.
was l. the interest of stock jct
V rect. lie alleged RI
,as IL tt
Afnation that the message would not go
in long before it was known at the
Capitol and pro6ted heavily by the ad-
vance in the price of stocks which re-
suited. He even charged that there
was no warrant for the alarming state
ments about the situation in Havana,
which were made as q Justification for
the delay of the message.
Mr.. Grosvenor Indignantly denied
that there was justification for the re-
ports, and held Mr.. Lentz up to scorn
for alleging corrupt motives against
the President.
Mr.. Lsntz disclaimed this, but the
irate friend of the President gave him
no mercy. He was thoroughly arous,
ed, and charged that the Democrats
were seeking political advantage. and
paying his respects to John }. MeCeok
and Others. He said: The gentleman
is greatly worried about bonds, and lie
read the name Of John j. McCook il
one of his raids this afternoon. Who
IS John J. Cook? What does he rep
resent? What is he here forS How
does he and the gentleman from Ohio
stand with reference to this? l viii
show you that they are parties to
great conspiracy-one willingly SO, thu
Other, trust, ignorantly SO. Who II
John J. McCook? He is the legal rep
resentative of the Cuban Junta, o
New York, behind which stands fou
hundred millions, more or less, o.
bonds that can be validated by thu
recognition of the independence, o
Cuba by the United States, and the.
will be destroyed by a policy tina
drives Spain out of Cuba in the INTER
est of American people. Before h
concluded he expressed the opinion
that war was as certain as that W
would live until next week, unless l
| was averted by Spain.

Sampson and Schley.

Portsmouth, n H., July lin re-
gard to the alleged strained relations
said to exist between Rear Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley, the
following conversation uetween these
two officers was reported to me by an
officer who will vouch for its accuracy.
According to my informant Admiral
Sampson, in forbidding Commodore
Schley to make report of the ac-
ton before his own had been filed, is
quoted as sayingto that officer:
Commodore Schley, my flagship was
in signaling distance, as you well
know Had this effort of the Spanish
feet to escape been successful or had
it brought disaster to the fleet would
you have assumed responsibility
Commodore Schley is said to have
hesitated when the matter was put to
him in that light.
"Then l can not allow you to take
credit for the victory to my disparage-
ment," Admiral Sampson is said to
have informed him.

Camp of First Division, Seventh
Army Corps Miami, Fla, July IA
large part of today was spent ny the
volunteers ut this point in adapting
themselves to the changes brought
brought about by the arrival of Major
General j. Warren Kiefer and his as
sumption of the command of the dlvls-
ion, relieving Brigadler General Lloyd
Wheaton, who returns to the First bri-
gade. General Kiefer, who received
his appointment only a short time ago,
established his headquarters on the
lawn adjoining the Royal Palm hotel
and fronting on Bay Biscayne. The
officers in the hotel, formerly occupied
by General Schwan, will also be used
by General Kiefer and his staff, which
consists of Major George S. Hobart,
assistant adjutant general; Major John
@. Evans, inspector general; First Lou
tenant Albert c. Thompson. Jr.; Cap
tain Horace C. Kiefer and First Lieu
tenant Edward T. Miller, aides. The
staff of General Wheaton remains as
it was before General Schwans depart
ure. with the exception of the admtlon
of Captain james E. b. Stuart, who
has been named as commissary sub
slstence for the brigade.
Rumors as to the results which VIII
follow the change are plentiful, but III
all of them there is nothing on which
TO base n definite statement. General
Kiefer is known to have considerable
influence at Washington, but General
Schwan enjoyed the same distinction
and nothing tangible towards getting
the division ITO the front was done
while he was in command so the lex

line under the new regime. The rlrsI

The strawboard trust Will have to
make a defense before the Indiana leg
islature. About once year the fac
tories empty their reservoirs into
streams on which the industries are
situated and kill all the fish in the
water. The United States court has
been appealed to and has enjoined some
Of the factories from polluting streams,
but other branches of the trust con-
tinue to empty poison into rivers, and
the local officers of the law seem to be
powerless to prevent it. Only this
week the factory at Carthage emptled
its reservoir into blue river and killed
millions of fish and interrupted the
spawning. The governor has taken
notice of the destruction of the fish and
announces that if he has any influence
with the coming legislature he will see
to it that law is passed that will stop
the pollution of running streams by
these factories.
