Incident Arising Over Matter of
Personal Privilege, Bailey Reply

Charging Him With Being the
Author of Wednesdays Trouble.

Washington. April 15.-Only single
incident in the session of the house to-
day was worthy of public notice. Mr..
bailey. the Democratic leader, arose to
a question of privilege. to reply to a
Philadelphia newspaper criticism,
charging him with responsibility for
the disorderly scene in the house on
Wednesday. Mr.. Bailey said that a
public man was seldom justified in re-
plying to criticism. but in this case
he could not, in justice TO himself, al
low such q statement 10 pass without
reply. He affirmed that if there was
any individual responsible for the scene,
!. must rest upon the speaker himself.
He read from the Congressional Record
the report of the coloquy, to sustain his
position. AS he proceeded with his
arraignment of the speaker, there were
manifestations of suppressed excite
ment on the fiocr. The speaker listened
with imperturbable countenance. Mr..
Bailey said:
