 New York seems to interpose technical objection"
 Speaker Henderson Interrupted.
 Speaker Henderson at this point called attention to the fact that the language of the resolution charged that newspapers and members of Congress had been bribed. Members of Congress" he said, did not necessarily include members of the House. If members of the Senate, that body must be the custodian of its own morals" He thought if the resolution was to be privileged 1t should specifically in- clude members of the House.
 T am prepared to say" replied MT. Richardson, that these charges do not include members of the House. and will amend the resolution to that extent"
 This is a matter of high privilege" said the speaker delivering his ruling. Exactly what statutes that report to foreign government would have here from Tennessee having stated upon his honor as a member of the House that the charges are true"
 "Oh, no, MT. Speaker" interrupted MT. Richardson, q did not say the report was true. I voucned for the fact that MT. Christmas had made them"
 '"rhe gentleman having vouched for the authenticity of the cnaIges." continued the speaker, "the chair holds that the matter Is one of privilege, and recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee"
 Interest Intense.
 By this time the interest in the House was intense. Almost every seat was oc- cupied, and the members listened eagerly as MT. Richardson proceeded to present his case First, he read extracts from the H.1fI by an affidavit from Neils Gron concern ing his dealings with certain people here, but they were not particularly sensa- tioral.
 The real sensation came when he start ed to read from what purported to be the report of Walter Christmas concerning the negotiations. He prefaced the read ing by the statement that 1t would show a Corrupt bargain worthy of the con- sideration of the House. The report was too long to read in full, he said. T will only read extracts which, If true, should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every American" he said. flor the sta tute will disgrace this country In the eyes of every foreign court in the world. That is what this corrupt bargainer says
 MeKiniey's Brother Mentioned.
 He then proceeded to read MT Christ mas account of his interview with the Prime Minister of Denmark In which he was said to have told the minister Of the necessity far the use of money to bring the negotiations for the sale Of the is- lands to a successful termination. He told of his acquaintance with Abner Me Kiniey, President McKinley's brother and his law partner Colonel Brown two gen. tlemen whom MT. Christmas described as having the entry to t.Ie W nte House and being familiar with the ways of American politics and what members of Congress would have to be paid to ac- complish the results desired"
 The report then described how MT. Christmas had enlisted not only President McKinleys brother and his partner but

THE NAVAL

The naval manoeuvers on the New
England coast have been watched
with interest by the public gener-
ally. They have developed a num-
Der Of important things in naval cir
cles themselves, and have doubtless
given renewed inspiration not only
to the officers in charge but to the
jackies as well, to perfect themselves
in the art of naval warfare. There's
nothing like a live contest to bring
out good qualities which have per-
haps been slumbering for want OF
something to arouse them. Individ-
ual ability, personal pride, patriot
ism and a spirit of desire for success
are all thus stimulated, not to speak
of the valuable lessons in tactics and
strategy. Such manouvers are a
valuable training in many respects
and cannot fail to be of benefit not
only to those who actually partici-
pate, but also to all members of the
American navy who are studying
them closely and making applica-

ions Of the details and results.

The American navy was a few
years ago an institution in which the
American people took very little in
terest. They looked upon it az little
more than a sort of picturesque tax
burdening thing for which there was
little necessity. The Spanish war
wrought a decided change of senti-
ment. The magnificent record made
by our navy in that war opened the
eyes of the public to the fact that
while the people themselves had al
most lost sight Of the navy the men
who made up that institution had
been oy no means idle, but had
learned both the science of naviga-
ton and the art Of cunning. A spir-
it of patriotism, courage and fidelity
to duty was developed in that war
which aroused a true American
pride, and the American people
learned more about their own navy
