the purpose Of getting control Of this

he said. he had conference with But
Ter which he summarized as follows:
Butler asked me~what we wanted to

Judge Graves overruled the demurrer,
declaring that upon the showing OF the

Washington, Feb. 3--After almost
allowing the amendment to the urgent
deficiency appropriation Dill providing
for a loan Of $500, eco TO the St. Louis
exposition 10 get through, without any
discussion whatever. the senate today
changed its tactics just as the vote was
about to be taken and began a debate
on the loan provision, which continued
for about four hours, and was still in
progress when the senate adjourned foT
the day.
The debate was precipitated by q
point of order made againstthe amend
ment by Mr.. Bailey, who maintained
that the national government was not,
as such, concerned with the success or
failure Of any exposition. He was sup
ported by Mr.. Lodge and AR Elkins
while speeches were made in support Of
the amendment by Messrs. Hale, Ali
son. Cockren, Spooner, McCOmas and
others.
The debate took a political turn at
one time Mr.. German took advantage
of a declaration that the condition of
the treasury was such as 10 render it
unwisa to enter upon this expenditure
TO charge the party in power with mis-
management. Mr.. Spooner replied in
defense of the administration.
The debate throughout was spirited
but good-natuTed, and the galleries
vera wen entertained.

BLOODY CHASM
BETWEEN THEM
People of Kentucky and Indi-
ana Will Not Shake Hands.
GOEBEL MURDER UNAvENGED
LIVELY DEBATE IN THE LOWER
HOUSE YESTERDAY.

tAIAsHINGToN. Feb. S.-Inaiana
w and Kentucky locked horns in
the house today. The debate.
which involved nearly every member
Of both state delegations, was fast and
furious from start to finish Kentucky
demanded of Indiana the return of ".
5. Taylor, that ne might be tried for
the assassination of William Goebel.
The attack was made by Mr.. James OF
kentucky, and the defense was led bv
ar. Crumpaeker Of Indiana. Partisan
Leeiing rose to an extreme tension. The
Qiplomatio appropriation bill was un-
Ger consideration at the time. Mr..
James fired both sides of the house to
interest and feeling by declaring at the
outset the rough rider president" was
RIDICULOUS IN his message to congress
tavoring international extradition
treaties when one state could not get
from another fugitives from Justice. He
nad, ne said, introduced a bill in which
the federal government made extradi-
tlon compulsory where persons had
been indicted for crime. For four wears
ne said, Governor Durbin of Indiana.
nad protected Taylor, who had been
regularly indicted in Kentucky for the
murder Of Goebel, "and yet I notice
mat when Durbin comes to town" con
Unued Mr.. James, "he is wined and
dlned by this great Don QuixOte upon
eXtfadition, who absolutely confdes to
Durbin the right TO give the waiting
and anxious world the news that Han
ma can run for president If he wants to.
ana when we all read that. we again
declare the king can do no wrong"
Battle Lasted Two Hours.
These remarks met with Democratic
applause and laughter, but stirred the
opposition to action and for something
ike two hours many members were on
their feet at a time, and the criminal
and political records Of both Kentucky
and Indiana were handled without
gloves. The Democrats maintained
that state government had no right
to take the question OF flair trial" into
consideration in honoring extradition
papers from another state, while the
Republicans maintained that history
would Justify Indiana's action in this
case. When Mr. Crumpacker took the
floor in defense Of Indiana, he was be
set by a Volley of questions from the
Democratic side and was hardly able
to maintain the thread Of his argument
on account of Interruptions.
The tension was Iessened and better
nature restored by the interpOsitiOn Of
a speech on the reorganization of the
consular service by Mr.. Adams OF
Pennsylvania, but It afterward broke
