 liams), and his colleague from New York, CMr. Cockran.)"
 MT. Cochran: "The gentleman from Mis- sissippi furnished to this house a strik- ing sample of what can be accomplished by a minority when 1t is led by patriot ism and ability democratic applause) If the majority is proud of this latest per formance of their leader, congratulate them and the country on the prospects which open up for them."
 DisIoyal to It's Oath.
 Taking up the ''postoffice scandals" he said the failure of the republican party to make further investigation was proof of crime.
 "This house is disloyal to the oath of its members if it fails to make the in- vestigation."
 Mr. Cochran made an argument against protection and the protective system.
 Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania asked Ms. Cochran if he held the same views when he was making republican speeches in
 Mir. Cochran responded that he never made republican speech in his life, that he supported Mckinley when the people had forced financial plank ih The plat form which met his (Cockrah's) disap- proval.
 I will state that I have been informed that It was profitable to the gentleman rom New York to support Mckinley when he did," said Mir. Dalzell, amid ap- plause and laughter on the republican side.
 That Is a statement" replied MT. Cochran, with vehemence, which has been made wherever there has been found mouth full enough to utter words be- hind which there was no conscience. I crn hn tInxs. horts Of vice and crime and corruption that are embodied in the republican party to show that the national committee ever contributed as much as my railroad fare during all that campaign" This was greeted with prolonged ap- plause and cheers on the democratic side.
 | do not suppose the gentleman paid any railroad fare,' Mr. Dalzell said
 MT. Cochran said he paid his own ex- penses wherever he went and continued;
 Challenges Them All. T challenge the gentleman now as I challenged MT Hanna when he was lv- Ing, as l challenged the New York Tri- bune last fall in New York, while MT. Hanna was still living and as I now chal- lenge every one on any side to show where In the last twenty years I have not been subscriber instead of a recipi- ent of campaign funds. The gentlemen attributes to me what he knows to be the universal custom of every republican politician"
 This was greeted with prolonged cheers and applause by the democrats. "I can say as to myself" said MT. Dal- zell, precisely what the gentleman has said for himself with respect to cam paigning"
 q should not have suspected the gentle man." retorted MT. Cochran, but it has been my experience in life that no man 1 is quick to accuse another of any infamy | unless he has been intimate with it him self"
 There was more applause and cheering on the democratic side. "The gentleman would better imply | that logic to himself right now and let me say to him that I said I had been in- | formed by a democrat" said MT. Dal- zell and was about to continue.
 Name himl Name him." shouted MT. Cochran.
 There was a chorus of name him. name himr' on the democratic side Name him or admit that you are" MT. Cochran said, and pausng added what cannot be said in this house." | At this there was wild and tumultuous cheering and applause on the democratic 1 side
 l ''Why of course will not name him" l
 l ''Of course not, of course not" shouted | a dozen democrats.
 Sir" shouted MT. Cochran, turning to the speaker, "the man who makes con- | fession cannot interrupt me again, or come voluntarily within the range of my vision."
 So vociferous was the demonstration on | the democratic side that 1t was some time before MT Cochran could resume
 Contiues Discussion of Trusts. 1 He then continued the discussion of the trusts, describing the long reign and | mistakes of the republica nparty. Mir Oockran predicted its reign would end and end now. It mattered not whether the man to lead the democrats to victory was the one named by the New York convention. Judge Parker, or whether the leader should be the officer who had suppressed poodle and crime in Missouri In any event, he hoped the minority lead CT of the house, MT. Williams, would be on the ticket. This reference provoked prolonged applause which was joined in | by the republicans.
 At the close of Mir. Cockran's speech lasting two hours. democrats surrounded l him for congratulations, and after the confusion had subsided, MT Grosvenor demanded the previous question on the | Dlll. lie withheld the motion to allow MT. | Livernash of California to offer an amendment to extend the inquiry of the proposed commission to the comfort and welfare of American seamen, and to MT. LuclSing who offered an amendment which provided that no plan or policy be passed | by the committee involving the payment | of subsidies or bounties from the United l States treasury. A tie up resulted on a request for leave to print" which was | objected to, and MT. Williams warned Mir Grsvenor that he would make no speed by pressing his motion and cutting off de- bate. Consequently, when the motion was put, a roll call was demanded. The motion prevailed-155 to 126 | The committee amendments to the bill were agreed to without opposition: also | that offered by MT. Livernash or that of 1 fered by MT. Lucking. A roll call was or | dered and lost-124 to 66 Another roll call was obtained by the democrats on the pas l sage of the bill The bill was passed l IA to 11S Representatives Livernash and Wynne voted with the republicans for the bill.
