 Sensational Episode.
 very sensational episode when the paragraph providing that not over sso should be paid for the apprehension of a dcserter from the army was reached. This paragraph was seized upon by MT. Lcntz for base from which to attack what he said was going on in the Philip. pines and which so disgusted our sold iers there that they deserted. He 3e- clared that reports were coming back from the islands to the effect that our soldiers were killing prisoners and said that he knew of a letter received by the father of soldier in the Philippines tell ing how a native had been buried alive by his captors and then beheaded. MT. Graham, Republican, of Pennsylvania, ll.. T ,kv 6ataa hA lot ter. He said he thought it existed only in MT. Lentz's imagination MT. Lentz declareed that the letter could not be pro- dlced without getting the boy into trouble. .&
 MT Cannon, in impressive tones, de- clared that a man who would rise in his place in the American Congress and advise men who had enlisted under the American flag to desert might be safe here but if he should say the same thing ill the Philippines he would be tried by a drum-head courtmartal and shot, MT. Lentz read a newspaper account of a letter alleged to have been received by the father of soldier, saying that the soldiers were orderd to shoot very man and beast they found. Mir Lentz de- clared that if such orders had been is- sued, Congress should be ashamed to face the world.
 MT. Mahon, Republican, of Pennsyl- vania, challenged MT. Lentz to bring in a resolution to ask the secretary of war whether such orders as he had referred to ever had been issued
 Mahon's Hot Response.
 During the rebellion, said MT. Mahon, II thought if 5000 or 10000 of the copper heads had been shot we would have not been troubled with desertion. Some of those men still live, thank God-very few (applause) There are none in my state who could be paid to make such charges as the gentleman has made. I am not surprised that the good people of Ohio left you at home-hot because you charged that the administration paid $100,000 to defeat you; you are not worth it-but because of your everlasting dem agogery Loud applause.)
 This brought MT. Lentz again to his feet, when he declared himself a Jeffer- son-Lfncoln Democrat. The Republicans jeered. Proceeding he charged that his defeat had been compassed by bribery right and left "I was defeated" he con- cluded, you are welcome to the glory and satisfaction of it.'
 Its a great satisfaction" laconically observed MT. Mahon amid laughter
 MT. Grosvenor Republican, Ohio, also paid his respects to MT. Lentz for term ing himself follower of Jefferson and Lincoln, and MT. Moody, Republican. Massachusetts, almost brought his side of the house to its feet by reading an utterance of Lincoln condemning ''the willy agtator," who induced the soldier to desert more than it condemned the sol dier himself.
 Has Massachusetts shot Senator Hoar?' shouted MT. Lentz, while the ap- plause was reverberating through the hall.
 Oh, get out" called MT. Dalzell, Re- publican, of Pennsylvania
 The excitement then subsided and the consideration of the bill was renewed.
 MT. sherman Republican, of New fork offered the following amendment, against which Mir. Cannon raised n point of order:
 Provided further that the superinten- dent of the Naval Academy shall make such rules to be approved by the Secre- tary of the Navy, as will effectually pre- vent the practice of hazing; and any ca- det found guilty of participating in or encouraging or countenancing such prac- tice shall be summarily expelled from the academy and shall not thereafter be appointed to the corps of cadets or be eligible for appointment as a commis- sioner of the army or navy"
 Without deciding the point of order at $50 the House adjourned.
 THE SENATE.
