CLOSE SHAVE FOR A CENsURE
House Only Defeats Cockran's Purpose by
Majority of Three Votes,

Washington. April 1.-THE admin
teal vote Of censure by the house
when Cockran's resolution providing
for an investigation of the recent eX-
ecutivc order relating to the age-limit
for veterans was defeated by only three
votes. one of these being the speaker
Of the house. The small vote had a lot
To do with il. there being few more
than POO votes cast on both sides Cock
ran had n large audience. the galleries
being packed.
Referring TO the pension order Cock
ran characterized the presidents in
mockery and play on words" and
SAID that this was known by the man
who wrote il. as shown by the order
itself. He declared that congress, on
account Of it's ''pusillanimous failure to
do it's duty TO itself" had lost caste;
so much so that the newspapers Of
the country outside of Washington
now print only paragraph or two Of
its proceedings. Cockran's speech was
in support of the proposition that the
executive department is usurping pow
ers belonging 10 congress- and the pen
sion order was only an aggravated
instance thereof.
The action of the president, he said.
had been justified by the secretary of
the interior by the precedent Of Presi-
dent Cleveland. but If that be so. then
in Gods narlc let us condemn that
act Of Mr. Cleveland as vehe-
mently as the act Of any Republic
an president" The disposition to justi-
fy everything because Mr.. Cleveland
did it," he said. was the highest COM
pliment that could be paid to man by
congress. but the confidence which
Cleveland enjoys. he asserted. only
adds to the danger of the act and does
not lessen II.
The president and secretary Of the
interior found warm supporters In Dali
zell Grosvenor. Gibson. Calderhead,
Lacey and Hepburn. The first named
maintained that il made no difference
how many millions of dollars were in
volved In the presidents order, be-
cause the secretary Of the interior dis
tribwcd the money voted by congress
pursuant TO the rules of evidence es-
tablished by the pension bureau.
Grosvenor believed that the country
and the old soldiers would approve
the order. and that the money neces-
sary for putting II into effect would be
included I'm the forthcoming deficiency
bill.

olutlon three Republicans - Cushman
