NO GATHMANN GUN.
The House Refuses to Make Any
Provisions for 1t.


Late last night Mr. Boutelle presented a
partial report on the Naval appropriation
bill. Agreements had been reached on
many items of the hill, the principal points
of difference being on the Gathmann gun,
the increase of the navy, the price of ar
NOR plate, and the question of an armor
factory
The report was accepted, thus disposing
OF the amendments on which an agree
ment had been reached. Then Mr. Boutelle
moved that the House reserve two amend /
ments. as requested by Representatives
Hopkins and Underwood, and non-con-
cur in the rest of the Senate proposals.
This was about to be agreed TO. when Mr..
Bailey demanded separate vote on every
amendment. He had learned he said. that
the Republicans were rushing work with
the intention of calling up the contested
election case of Brown VS.. Swanson In
that case he intended to demand roll ca!
on every amendment. thus occupying so
much time that it would be impossib to
take up the election case
Mr.. Boutelle said he knew nothing OF
such intention. but if Mr. Bailey chose To-
take the responsibility of booking l,gis'a-
tion he could do so.
The first amendment in dispute was then
taken up. 1t was that for the Gathmann
dynamite gun. Mr.. Hopkins argued In
favor of the gun. which he said possessed
enormous powers. The inventor of the
gun lives in Illinois
At this point Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana
interposed and informed Mr.. Bailey that
he had abandoned his intention of calling
up the Browns Swanson case whereupon
Mr.. Bailey withdrew his opposition.
Mr.. Boutelle contended that the Cath
mann gun was utterly worthless AMI would
be more dangerous to the men who fired
it than to the enemy.
Mr.. Hopkins motion was then voted
down by an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Underwood then asked a separate
vote on the armor plate factory. 1t was
granted and he was defeated overwhelm-
ingly. The bill was then sent back 10
conference.
The Gathmann gun scheme was placed
in the bill in the Senate by Senator Hanna.
who spoke earnestly for the amendment
and assured the Senate it was great gun.
When Senator Hanna name was men
toned in the House last night in con-
nectiOn with the bill it was received with
jeers.
It is known to the Navy Department
that the tests that have been made of the
gun have been signal failures upon one
occasion the gun exploding and doing
great damage Mr. Boutelie said the gun
is too dangerous to think OF its bein used.
that the lives of all persons manning if
are placed in peril. He said the amend
ment was nothing less than AN Infamous
piece of legislation and a cold hooded

MR.. WALKER GETS THE FLOOR
He Explains Why Currency Reform
Legislation Failed.

Representative Walker OF Massachusetts
obtained an opportunity to set forth his
ideas on the subject of banking and cur
rency in the House yesterday. For several
days his request for the privilege of the
floor was objected TO whenever preferred,
as the rumOr had gone abroad that Mr..
Walker wanted the floor for the purpose of
assailing his colleagues on the committee.
and it was said that he intended to rake
them fore and aft.
Thursday night Mr. Walker went to the
members of the committee and prevailed
on them not 10 object. Yesterday when
he again asked for the hour Mr. Richard
son wanted time to reply, and then Mr.
Bailey decided that he. too, might find it
necessary to say something. Finally how
ever it WIS agreed that Mr.. Walker should
speak for thirty minutes, his opponents for
twenty minutes. and that he should then
have ten minutes in which to close.
The speech, when made, turned out to
be very tame. II was chiefly eulogy on
Mr. Walkers efforts for currency reform,
which he said, he had inaugurated almost
single handed, carried on with scarcely
time enough reserved TO eat and sleep. and
had finally brought almost to success by
superhuman efforts in the face of insuper-
able obstacles.
He explained, as he has so cftcn ex-
planned before, that be was not welded to
his own bill. but had always stood ready
to accept any better bill-better drawn,
better conceived. better worked out-that
anyone might submit But, he said all of
the thousands OF propositions submitted t9
him had some radical defect. None OF
them maintained the great principles that
he believed essential. and that were so
clearly set forth in his bill.
He went on TO tell the history of the
last banking bill. which brought out a re-
mark from Mr.. Cox of Tennessee that if
Mr.. Walker told what the committee did.
he wanted chance to tell what it hadn' t
done

over an hour was spent in the Senate
yesterday in a discussion of the confer
ence report on the Sundry Civil appropria-
tion bill. The report. which was only a
partial report. leaving several matters
still unsettled. was finally agreed to.
The opposition of the House to the
Senate public building amendments and
the Hawaiian cable amendment was the
principal object of contention.
In explaining the report, Mr.. Allison
said the House conferees insisted that the
public building amendments that they
would accept would be only those which
had previously passed the two houses in
the form of bills. They had also refused
10 allow the Hawaiian cable to remain
in the bill. They had also insisted in
striking out the $1,000 for the Missouri
River. Mr.. Morgan expressed the hope
that the Senate conferees would insist
on the public building amendments. He
recalled the scene in the Senate on
Wednesday, when a raft of public build
ing bills was received from the House and

South Cnr"iininD.
What came near being a serious matter
was raised in the House last night between
Representative Taibert of South Carolina
and Representative Grosvenor of Ohio.
The proposition under discussion was to
appoint a new clerk for the House. Mr.
Talbert criticised the resolution, saying
that the new clerk would be entirely use
less, and would only draw his salary all
summer.
General Grosyenor bantered Mr. Talbert
gently, saying that he was straining at
gnats. Mr.. Talbert's district was safely
Democratic, and it wasn't fair for him to
object TO somebody else making his safe.
Mr.. Talbert lost his temper and made a
fiery reply. winding up with the assertion
that when he made statement on the floor
the gentleman from Kansas could not get
up and prove him a liar.
The reference was plainly to the remarks
Of Mr.. Simpson on the day before. who
had differed from Mr.. Grosvenor on a ques-
tion of history and had proved to be cor

THE SUNDRY civil BILL
Still UNFINISHED
The House Refuses to Concur
With the Senate.
Disagreement on the Proposed
Hawaiian Cable Amendment.
The Conferecs of the Loycr Rody
Instructed to stand for the
Original Measure.

A partial report on the Sundry Civil bill
was submitted yesterday by the conference
committee. agreeing to certain provisions
and disagreeing to others. The House ac-
cepted the report, and instructed its con-
ferees to insist on its non concurrence in
the remaining items.
MIR Cannon of Illinois presented the re-
port of the conferees. He moved that the
House should non-concur in the Senate
amendments which were not agreed to by
the conferees, and should insist on its own
proposition. At the request of several
members, he excepted from this motion
four amendments, relating 10 certain public
buildings and to the Pacific cable.
The motion insisting on the disagreement
as to the other amendments was adopted.
The first question was on the motion OF Mr..
Kitchin of North Carolina to concur in
the Senate amendment for a public building
at Durham, N c. After considerable ar
against all Senate amendments which, if
proposed in the House. would be subject to
points of order. the House decided, by a
yea and nay vote, TO insist on its non-con-
currence.
The request for a separate vote on an
other amendment. also for public build
ing, was then withdrawn.
The last two amendments. 10 lhr
Pacific Cable, were then taken up. Mr..
Cannon moved to insist on the disagreeing
report of the conferees. Mr.. Corliss of
Michigan moved to substitute for this a
motion to concur and spoke for ten min
utes in support of the cable amendment
He read from the message of the Presi-
dent advocating the construction OF the
cable.
Nr. Hcr.,urH's Objection.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa opposed the
amendment, on the ground that the Gov
ernment should not undertake work OF
this character when it could be done by
private capital. In answer to a question
from Mr.. Greene of Nebraska Mr.. Hepburn
said that the difference between this
project and a Nicaragua Canal was that
this could be easily done by private peo-
pie, while the latter was so gigantic that
it had been proved that private capital
would not undertake it.
Mr. Hepburn pointed out that the New
York Company offering to do the work
asked a subsidy of only 100000 year for
twenty years and then nothing more,
while the Senate amendment proposed TO
spend s.. $50, 600 the interest on which
would amount to more than the subsidy
every year and would continue forever.
The House then voted 102 TO II against
the cable Mr.. Corliss demand for the
yeas and nays was refused and the bill
was sent to conference. Representatives
Cannon. Moody. and Dockery were named
on behalf of the House.
