A Disgraceful Scene
At this Juncture occurred the sensational
climax of the day. Members all about
we're in a state of frenzied excitement.
Partisan passion was running high. 1t
required only the application of a match to
explode the magazine, and when the ex-
plosion came, pandemonium reigned. Mr..
Bartlett DemocraO of Georgia, off to the
right of the chair, was supporting the pro-
tests of the Democrats against the taunt-
ing words which were coming from the
other side.
Suddenly in his rear. the next tier of
Seats came In stentorian tones from Mr..
Brumm (Republican) Of Pennsylvania, a
taunt addressed generally to the Demo-
cratic side: You got just what you did
not want" he shouted. 'That is not
true" cried out Mr.. Bartlett. who, 1t was
subsequently explained. was addressing
his remarks to a Republican on the other
side. II say 1t is" retorted Mr.. Brumm,
hotly.

turning and facing Mr.. Brumm.

The lie had passed. Instantly Mr.. Bart.
lett reached for large bound copy Of the
congressional record on the desk before
him and hurled 1t at his adversary. II
fell short, and then the two antagonists
rushed for each other The house iinme-
diately was IN an uproar. Some of the la.
dies in the galleries screamed Historically
Members crowded toward the combatants
from all quarters. They ran across the
area in front of the speakers desk and
crowded up the adjoining aisles, clinching,
tugging, hauling at each other like mad
men. 1t was like a free fight in the street.
Shouts of anger and indignation were
heard on every hand Members in the
crush espoused the cause Of the twa
original combatants. and there were sew
eral exciting collisions, but no blows
struck. Meantime Mr. Bartlett and Mr.
Brumm were trying to get at each other

WAR INEVITABLE.
There is a general feeling in Wash.
ington tonight among public men that
the action of congress, as foreshadowed
in the resolutions, renders the situation
extremely critical, and conservative
leaders of both parties consider war in
eVitable as a result of their adoption
unless Spain makes a final and COM
plete surrender by giving up the island
of Cuba.
The situation is regarded as so criti-
cal that the Republicans on the ways
and means committee, as a result of
private conferences, have reached an
agreement as to the method of raising
500, 0s0 additional revenue annually
for the prosecution of the war by in
creasins the tax on beer and tobacco
and placing a tax on tea and coffee.
They also agreed to authorize the issue
of popular loan of $780, 600. 600, and
the Issue of certificates of Indebtedness
to meet emergencies.
Consul General Lee arrived this af-
ternoon. During the afternoon he ap-
peared before the committee on foreign
relations of the senate While it is
said he gave no startling information,
his opinion. vigorously expressed,
strengthened the committee in the po-
sition lit has taken regarding the blow
ing up of the Maine.
The regular cabinet meeting TODAY
was the most uneventful for many
weeks No word had come from Min
lister Woodford during the day, and
there were no new phases reported
from Cuba. In diplomatic circles COM
plete calm prevailed. At army and
navy headquarters no new develop
ments were reported, though the prep
arations. so long under way, progressed
steadily.

Washington, April 12-General Gros-
venor of Ohio. now generally regarded
as the spokesman of the present admin
istration in the house. late this after
noon in reply to an attack upon the
policy of the administration, inter-
preted the recommendation in the
presidents message to mean a request
for authority to use the army and
navy of the United States to estab-
lish on, the island of Cuba a govern
ment Independent of Spain. 1t was
regarded as an exceedingly important
and significant announcement.
In the brief debate today the opening
guns of the contest that begins to-
morrow were fired. Broadsides were
exchanged and then the house ad-
jourred
Mr.. Lentz, an Ohio Democrat who
drew the fire of General Grosvenor
last Thursday, returned to the assault
again today, attacking what he termed
the ''vacillating' policy of the presi-
dent. the midnight conferences" at
the White House with Senator Elkins
and John J. McCook, and asserting
that the presidents recommendations
really meant that the United States
should coerce the Cuban insurgents
into an acceptance of SPANS scheme
of autonomy.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep. Ia.), made a
spirited and indignant reply, denounc-
ing the intimation of such a policy as
little short of scoundrelism. Then
came General Grosvenor's important
announcement upon which Mr.. Bailey,
the Democratic leader, countered, taxi
ing the position that if the president
had meant to declare for the indepen-
dence of Cuba he would have said so
in specific words. The message was
clear and lucid, he said, except as to
the recommendations, and il had re-
quired all the ingenuity of General
Grosvenor to torture such an inter-
probation from them. In conclusion, he
declared that the president who would
coerce the Cuban insurgents would not
live to survive the odium of the Ameri-
can people.
PROCEEDINGS.
Immediately after the reading of
the journal, the speaker recognized
on behalf of the naval committee, the
senate bill for the organization of a
national battalion in the District of
Columbia.
Mr.. Bailey indicated his purpose to
object unless an amendment was Of
fered to organize this battalion under
the existing laws
Il suggest the bill be withheld until
we see what the report of the commit
tee on foreign affairs is to be. SO we
can determine exactly what the condi-
ton in the country is said Mr.. Bailey.
IF the fear he entertains has no more
foundation than the report that the
presidents message last Wednesday
might have created a riot in Havana,
the gentleman need not be exercised.

mr. MAD NO CHIrS.


There is a certain well.known young
gentleman in Washington whose pre-
objections for the great American game
OF poker are known to his better half and
strenuously objected TO, says the Post Of
that city. So strenuous has been her op.
position TO this somewhat exciting form
of amusement that sine exacted promise
not long ago from her husband that he
would not succumb to the seductive wiles
Of the game, except for fun. She did not
object to his having fun that way If he
wanted to, but real gambling didn't go.
So he promised and kept the promise until
one night week ago Then the wife
had an engagement to go with little
theatre party and he took advantage Of
the occasion to invite half dozen friends
up TO the house.
But you mustn't bring any chips" he
insisted. "My wife is suspicious of chips.
I'll have lot of coffee berries instead"
All agreed to accept coffee berries as a
| substitute for the worries. and all turned
up at the house as soon as the wife had
| Joined her party. The chips, or coffee
grains, were doled out by the banker and
the game started Owing to the warmth
OF the room window near the hosts seat
had been raised. Luck was with the host.
The game progressed quietly and nearly
| every pot found its way eventually TO the
| stack Of berries at his side, until he had
enough to make beverage far the crowd
| BY ! ! O'Clock two or three had dropped
out and gone home, and those who re.
manned had given all their coffee beans
to their entertainer. Then the wife re-
| turned.
She noted with evident satisfaction thai
the game was devoid of anything as sus.
picious as chips, and greeted all pleas
antly. Then she stood leaning on hel
husbands chair, chatting about the play
As she chatted she carelessly fingered the
little pile of coffee beans, and at every
other word would careessly flip one Of
two of them out Of the window, or absent
mindedly put one in her mouth and bit,
ii in pieces. The banker saw and grinneC
with fiendish glee. Every grain OF COFFEE
which she cast to the winds or ground W
between her pretty teeth represented

eyes opened wide; his stare became more
maniacal. BY the time the pile had dwiE
died down to half its original size hi
saved himself and the rest of his pile
Springiug up In the middle of story hil
wife was telling, he said:
"Mary, for heavens sake, stop chewing
that coffee, You make me nervous"
Mary looked and wondered, and there
was IL gicani Of suspicion in her eyes Il.
she bade them goodnight and retired
The husband sadly cashel in his diminu
tive Pile and the game broke up.
