 secure an opportunity to reply to MT. Lentz, but MT. Lentz objected unless he were given ten minutes to reply. An gered at this MT. Grosvenor declared that the gentleman from Ohio, MT. Lentz, had been guilty of a malicious falsehood And he knows it," added Mr. Grosvenor.
 A very sensational episode occurred when the paragraph providing that not over $50 be paid for the apprehension of deserter from the army was reached. On this paragraph MT. Lentz attacked what he said was going on in the Philippines and which so disgusted our soldiers there. that they deserted. He declared that reports were coming back from the Philippines to the eff feet that our soldiers were killing pris- oners and he said that he knew of letter received by the father of sol dier of the Philippines how native had been buried alive by his captors and then beheaded.
 MT. Cannon said that in his lifetime he had heard more eloquent men than the gentleman from Ohio encourage de- sertion When the life of the nation was at stake" said he, "men all over the north stood behind the firing line and encouraged assertion. I leave the gentleman to the contempt of an indig- nant people," concluded MT. Cannon amid whirlwind of applause as he took his seat
 "Was the gentleman on the firing liner" cried MT. Lentz
 Tt matters not where l was,' re- torted MT. Cannon, jumping to his feet. q was not disloyal then, and what IS more important am not disoyal now" (Renewed republican applause)
 Mir Cannon declared that were MT. Lentz in the Philippines he would be tried by court-martial and shot. MT. Mahon said that MT. Lentzs remarks were revamps of the copperhead speech es of forty years ago, and MT. Moody read the words of Lincoln that the man that encouraged a soldier to desert IS worse than deserter.
 Mir Mahon, rep, of Pennsylvania, challenged MT. Lentz to bring in a reso- lution to ask the secretary of war whether such orders as he had referred to ever had been issued. The result of such an inquiry, he said, would show that the report of them was false hood. q am not surprised" said MT. Mahon, "that the good people Of Ohlo left you at home-not because you charged that the administration paid s1O0,OOO to defeat you; you are not worth it-but because of your everlasting demagoguery." Cloud republican cheers)
 When MT. Lentz declared himself Jeffersonian-Lincoln democrat the re- publicans jeered Proceeding, he charg- ed that his defeat had been compassed by bribery right and left q was de- feated," he concluded; you are vel come to the glory and satisfaction of it."
 Its a great satisfaction" observed MT, Mahon amid laughter. MT Moody, rep, of Massachusetts, almost brought his side of the house up standing by reading an utterance of Lincoln con- demning more the "wily agitator" who induces the soldier to desert than the soldier himself. Has Massachusetts shot Senator Hoar?" shouted MT. Lentz while the applause was reverberating through the hall. "Oh, get out," called Mr. Dalzell, rep, of Pennsylvania The excitement then subsided.
 MT. Sherman offered an amendment desired to prohibit hazing at the naval academy on penalty of dismissal. Thls amendment was pending on a point of order when the house adjourned.
