Washington, April 26.-The senate
passed the military academy appropri-
alton bill, the last of the supply meas
ures. Senator Bacon concluded his
tariff speech. Among the bills passed
were ones constituting Coal City, ILL.,,
port of delivery; incorporating the
Carnegie institution of Washington
and regulating the fees to be paid on
homestead entries. The president
nominated Frank B. Goodhue as post
master at Whitewater, Wis. The
heavy weights had another bout in the
house with Representatives Dalzell
and Cochran as the combatants. The
speeches were a renewal of Saturday s
debate, but were more personal in
their character. AS on Saturday the
speakers were greeted with vocificer-
Gus applause by their respective col
leagues, and the bitterness of party
feeling ran high. DR.. Dalzell had Mr..
Cochran on the rack nearly two hours,
during which time he dealt largely
with that gentleman's political history,
which, he said, showed him to have
been consecutively a green hacker,
sound money man and free silver man.
MIR. Dalzell closed amid wild republi-
can applause with a most bitter de-
nunciation of Mr.. Cochran. He re-
ferred to that gentleman's speech be-
fore the democratic convention which
sent him to congress, in which Mr..
Cochran said, 1--WE have reached a
point where the country is regarded
as an international hoodlum." Facing
the democratic side and looking di-
rectly at Mr.. Cochran, Mr.. Dalzell de-
clared that the utterance was of as
much interest to them as it was to
himself. eff there be any hoodlums
amongst us" he said, speaking with
much vehemence, they are not the
product of American soil. American
institutions or American civilization.
He was interrupted with loud and pro
longed republican applause. COntinu

rather among those advcDturers who
having left their own country for their
country's good, find in the field OF
American politics a prolific source OF
notoriety and men who, without con
science and without conviction, find an
opportunity now with one party and
then with another a market for their
peculiar wares, among which is not
responsibility" Mr.. Cochran denied
the accusation of Mr.. DalZell, whom
he arraigned for making statements
which could not be substantiated. Mr.,
Cochran denied that he had received
money from the Palmer and Buckner
campaign committee as Mr.. DalZell had
intimated. or that he had received
money for supporting Mr.. Mckinley
i'm 1896 If Mr.. Dalzel, he said, be-
lieved the charges against him, it was
nothing but a confession of the repub-
lican party's corruption and proof
that the presidential election had been
purchased. He denied the charge that
he ever was a greenbacker and said
that in the campaign of 1896 he com.
batted with all his energy what he be-
lieved to be a heresy regarding
| finances, advocated by Mr.. Bryan. He
had believed Mr.. Bryan to be an
absolutely honest man and had pre-.
dicted when he saw his error on the
/ financial question he would be the first
to take the plank out of the platform
Within the last few days, however, he
said, Mr. Bryan had demonstrated that
he was attached to an idea and would
tear down everything rather than

you have a distinguished candidate
already named, in the white house
who is strident of voice in professions
of reform. We always have democrats
of dignity who have known how to
prosecute the men who violated the
law and brought reform in disgrace
Your candidate denounces corruption.
