URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL.
1t Goes Through the House With Only
One Important Amendment.

Washington, Jan. 17.-The House had
another inning today over the sale of
the New York custom house by Sec
retary Gage. Mr.. Sulzer. of New
York, the author of the resolution for
an investigation of the Secretary $
transactions with the New York banks.
started the ball rolling by charging that
the mandate had already gone forth to
suppress it. Mr.. Sibley. the Pennsyl-
vanla Democrat, formerly radical ad-
vocate of free silver, who is now out
of sympathy with the Democrats in
the House warmly commended Mr..
Cages course. These two speeches
precipitated Il debate which lasted al
most three hours.
Mr.. Hepburn, Rep., Iowa. assailed
Mr.. SulZer fCr some of his eXtravagant
statements and declared there ought TO
be some way to rebuke i member for
slandering honored officials. Later i'll
the day during the discussion of the
appropriation for the army. Mr.. Cannon,
in charge of the bill, challenged any
member to move to strike it out. Mr..
Williams Dem.. Miss replied TO Mr..
Cannon in an eloquent speech in which
he affirmed the loyalty Of every Am
erican citizen to the flag and charged
Mr.. Cannon with shrewdly issuing a
challenge that he knew would not be
accepted. He maintained the right
however. of members to criticise the
policy of the Government asserting that
loyalty to the flag was often compound
ed with loyalty TO a policy of the Gov
ernment. The Urgent Deficiency Bill
was passed with only one important
amendment. IN committee of the whole
TO consider the Urgent Deficiency Bill
Mr.. Snlzer Dem., n " took ;tdvan-
tage of the first opportunity TO call atten-
tion to his resolution to investigate the
charges against Secretary Gage.
SULZERs ATTACKS GAGE.
The committee to which it had been
referred had not acted. Il understand. .
said Mr.. Sulzer, that the boss of the
Republican party says these charges are
ali rot and that the President does
not want them investigated and tina:
nothing more is to be done with the
grave and serious charges"
If that was so. he continued. the mi-
nority was entitled to know it. There
was a remedy, he declared, and that
remedy would be applied. He quoted
