TO their party and to their country, like
the Senator from South Dakota
Then he read a clipping. from South
Dakota newspaper In which Mr.. Petit
grew was characterized as traitor
TO his country and to shis state and
which declared that he did not represent
the people of South Dakota.
THAT declared Mr. Hanna, vehe-
mently, lis my accuser in the Senate and
that Is the estimation In which he Is
held by the people OF his own pS state. state;
on this floor is the veriest rot and have
often as l sat listening to him, thought
him insane.
when 1t comes to personalities, hotly
asserted Mr.. Hanna, II will stand up
with him and compare my character with
his. He may tell what he knows about
me and then''-with emphasis on every
word-'I will tell what / know about
him.
Mr.. Carter said:
First it is said that Mr.. Cramp made
the statement that he contributed $400,-
600 to the Republican campaign fund In
'92. / do not believe that Mr.. Cramp
ever made that statement. From the
Senator from South Dakota has come the
first intimation that Mr.. Cramp ever
gave such an amount to the committee
and that any part OF that pnrported con
tribution had been diverted wrongfully."
L.
ton between himself and Mr.. Pettigrew
was pure creation of the imagination,
as he thought the conversation between
Mr.. Pettigrew and Mr.. Cramp as re-
ported by the former must have been.
Mr.. Carter closing, said:
but let me give note OF warning to
the brethren on the other side Of this
chamber. You are to henceforth associ-
ate, God knows how long, with the gyrat-
ing political career of the senator from
south Dakota. Ever keep in mind the
statements made by him today, state
ments, which / brand, in so far as
am concerned, as untrue"
Mr.. Pettigrew replying, asserted that
his conversations with both Mr.. Camp
and Mr.. Carter had occurred as he had
related. Mr.. Foraker said that the
country would understand the political
purpose of this debate. He did not doubt
nor did he think, that the people OF the
country at large would fail to appreciate
, the situation nor to make response as
Oregon had responded yesterday. Mr..
Bacon then continued his remarks urg-
ing that 1t was the duty of Congress to
remain in session indefinitely until the
important antitrust legislation was en-
acted.
Mr.. Teller suggested that If Mr.. Carter
felt aggrieved over MIR. Pettigrew's
charges he could secure an investigation
by a committee of the Republican SEN
ate.
The conference report on the Alaskan
code bill was adopted. The bill now goes
TO the President.
MIR. Pettigrew, resuming his yesterdays
speech on the Philippine question, con-
tended that Admiral Dewey had recog-
nized Aguinaldo's official rank and as
serted that Manila was taken by the
Americans by agreement with Spaniards.

port ON the bill to provide better facilities
