He then resumed and said that when
that resolution was adopted in all it's
terms something more important than
his conduct or the action of the men,

clear. I'VE will see." he said, lust
how the election in 1896 was conduct
ed, and we will see whether in fact the
presidency was bought or purchased
whether il was won in honorable politi-
cal conflict or whether it represented,
as the gentleman from PENNSYLVANIA
would have us believe, the skill in cor
ruption which was possessed by the
managers of the Republican Organiza-
ton. ''If it be true" he said, that
that campaign resulted in such use of
money as has been described there
is but one possible safety for the
republic"
He denied Dalzell's statement that
he had referred to the United States
as an interna tional hoodlum, and as
he sat down the Democrats went wild.
He rose again to ask that the resOlu-

that it was not matter of privilege.

further speaking by groans and jeers

Speaker Cannon said humorOusly
that he desired to be absolutely fair to
both sides, but in his judgment "we
had better have a nights Sleep" He
did not finish, ais the confusion had
become so great he was compelled to
rap for order. The confusion con-
tinued for some time when the spec ker

announced that the resolution having
been presented and the point of order
made upon it, the chair declines to rule
on the point OF order until he has had
opportunity to examine the prece-

Commissioner OF Pensions E. f.
Ware says: 1T does not seem to be
well understood among the veterans
that in calling up claims for pension
it is necessary that the number Of the
claim and the company and regiment
in which the soldier served be given in
each instance. Hundreds of letters
reach the Bureau every day with only
the name. given. 1t is impossible for
the Bureau to locate claim with the
name alone. Claimants do not under
stand this, and therefore complain
that their letters are not answered. y

NEW FEATURE AT PORT ARTHUI
Next Time the Japs Go There It Will BE
"Ware Submarine."

"Ware Submarfne."
st. Petersburg, April q. - The
entrance into the service of four sub
marine boats at Port Arthur means
the addition of new and formidable
weapon for the defense of that strong
hold. The dispatch of the boats in
sections over the railroad has been
shrouded in secrecy, and even today
many in ST. Petersburg are inclined
to doubt the report by officials of their
presence at Port Arthur, or to accept
the information as trustworthy.
An effort now to close or blockade
Port Arthur will be too dangerous, it
is thought, for Vice Admiral Togo to
attempt. The defenders of the port
will be able to guard against Japanese
submarine vessels entering the
harbor and attacking the Russian
ships at anchor. The officials here are
not certain that the japanese have
submarine boats, as they possessed
none before the war, but since the be-
ginning of hostilities they undoubtedly
have laid down number of them.
The Russian subms rine boats may
soon have an opportunity to demon
strate the value of their type in War,
as the Japanese fleet is reported at
Chefoo, and the interval of time it is
usually absent from Port Arthur has
about expired.

clares that certain stocks. which had

not be so included because his father
had not paid for them either in money
or services. The clause reads:
Says 1t Was Pay for Nothing.
''The late Penjamin Harrison was
not called upon to render any serv-
ices to said company, therefore the de
livery of the stock to him from year
TO year was only retaining or hiring
him not to appear against the company
in any litigation, and was therefore

even in services, but simply took en-
gagements not to appear against said

dispatches received regarding move

Yalu river, and stating that they had
begun. 1t was intimated that informa-
lion had been received that the Japa-

was accompanied by a statement that
the success of the enemy should in no
sense be regarded as an important vic
tory, the Russians having no intention
of vigorously contesting the passage,
their plan being to annoy the enemy
as much as, possible.
Japs Outsvitted the Russians.
1t is evident from the dispatches re-

crossing feasible the japanese made
a feint on Tatung Kau while the
