Senator Quay Makes Sarcastic Com

Washington, Feb. 4.--Toward the end of the session today there was lively ex- change of words between MT. Gallinger and MT. Beveridge. The former declar- ed in unmistakable terms that MT. Rev. eridgs and his followers on the Statehood bill were prolonging the debate in rur- suance of a deliberate and premeditated system of obstruction"
 A spirited colloquy arose between Gal finger and Beveridge, during the course of a speech by MT. Kean, in opposition to the Statehood bill. The question un- der discussion was the unequal repre- sentatien in Congress by certain States.
 MT. GallInger remarked that MT. Bever- idge was simply prolonging the debate by referring to it.

 Louisville, Feb. 4.-Postoffice Inspector S. P. Kile returned at noon today from Huntingburg, Ind, with story of ad- venture.
 It involves five days and nights of guarding the post offices at Hunting gburg and Jasper, eliminating in battle be- tween four postoffice robbers and MT. lIiles posse at Huntingburg, at o'clock this mol hing.
 Mono of the robbers was caught, but Mr. Nile is sure that two of them were wounded. the posse was unharmed al- though MT. Kilc had narrow escape. MT. Kie went to Milltown. Ind, Thurs day to locate porsoas charged with the robbery of the postoffice there. After search he found four men at Hunting burg, whom he believed to be the guilty ones Several attempts to capture the men at Jasper and Huntingburg failed. the men having gotten wind of the efforts of the officers plans.
 Yesterday MT. Kile found that the men were planning 70 rob the Huntingburg office and he planned to take them in the act
 Guards were stationed about the post office and in a lawyers office across the street. At o'clock this morning the four men appeared. They broke open the front door and one of the robbers, seeing the guards in the lawyers office fired. The fire was returned and a general battle ensued.

parties who will expect to be supplied get their demands?
 Tt Is true that the corn crop of Ala bama was a failure in many counties in the State last year. But Is that a suffi- cient reason why the State should under take to supply the want? First class seed corn will cost from q to $l.50 per bushel. and it will take more than 10000 bush els, the amount named in the bill, to sup ply the demand. especially if 1t is to be a donation.
 Where did our Legislature get the idea that the State was formed in order to support the people? The original idea was that the people were to support the State.
 If such bills pass the Legislature it will be but another means of wasting the States money. It may be that a few needy and worthy farmers will secure seed corn, but 1t will also necessarily fol- low that much waste and much scandal will arise in trying to carry out such policy So why do it? But if $10.OO0 is a good thing to spend in this way. why not say $25O,OOO and give all the people chance to get bushel of corn7'

 'I think 1t does," sarcastically remark ed MT Gallinger.
 MT. Kean desired to be excused from further discussion of the bill today on account of severe cold.
 MT. Quay. with considerable humor, combined with sarcasm, said:
 'The chair will perceive that almost daily the progress of this discussion is checked by some suggestion of this char acter. The infirmities of the opponents of the Statehood bill are something fright full to see and are increasing I fear be- fore the termination of the discussion they will all be in the hoTp.tu,''
 MT. Spooner-I suppose you will not ob- ject If all the opponents of the bill go to the hospital?

 In the midst of the laughter, MT. Lodge remarked:
