SPEAKER REED AND Mr.. BAILEY
Speaker Reed, from the rostrum of the
House, and Mr.. Bailey, leader of the
democrats, from his place on the floor,
glared at each other at the close of the
Cuban debate yesterday evening and
joined an issue of veracity. This sen
sational episode completely over

bate, which has continued uninterrupt.
eddy in the House for three days dur
ing the consideration of the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill.
On Wednesday notice was given by
Mr.. Williams democrat, of Mississippi)
that at the conclusion OF the debate on
Thursday motion would be made to
recommit the bill with instructions.
Yesterday, when the motion was made
by Mr.. Bailey, it was ruled out of Or
der by the Speaker. Mr.. Bailey there
upon startled the House by affirming
that he had private understanding
with the Speaker by which a vote
should be taken directly on the motion
to recommit. This the Speaker en-
phatically denied, and these two leaders
oi,their respective parties in the House,
with white faces and voices shaken by
emotion, set their statements against
each other, while the galleries looked
on in breathless amaZsment and the
members were in an uproar.
Mr.. Smith, of Michigan, who said he
was present, corroborated the Speak
er's side of the case. The result of the
Speakers position was that an appeal
was taken from his decision, and by q
strict party vote it was laid on the
tabls-16S to 114-the democrats and
populists, as on the two previous days,
voting against the solid republican
strength.
Speaker Reed showed nore indigna.
ton over the tilt than ne has ever ex-
hibited in the chair. The affair was as
sudden as it was fierce, and carried
with it an uproar that made it one of
the most remarkable scenes that the
House has ever witnessed. Mr.. Bailey
de6antly maintained his position to the
end.
