Washington, April 2S.-Two of the heavyweight speakers of the house of representatives held sway in that body today. Incidentally the bill for Il commission to investigate the ques- tion of ship subsidy was passed. Representative Hepburn of Iowa, first aroused and held the republican enthusiasm at a high pitch. After an hour and a half he yielded the floor winch was taken possession of by NBourke Cochran of New York, who brought from his democratic colleagues thunderous applause and cheers. Mir. Cochran spoke for two hours. Each speaker took the "other side of the chamber" for his legitimate prey and the points made, as the general | political field was reviewed, were backed up by demonstrations extend ing to the crowded galleries. The fea- ture of the day which was clearly of a sensational order, was the charge of Mir. Dalzell against MT. Cochran that te had worked fer hire for the election of MT. Mckinley. The Announcement of this charge and of the gentleman who made it was in language bitter with resentment and scorn. Mir Cochran declared that he new CT made a republican speech in his | life but he said he supported McKin- ley when the people had forced a tinan- cial plank in the platform which met his (Cockran's) disapproval.
 'I will state that have been in- | formed it was profitable to the gen. | tleman from New York to support Nc Kinley when he did" remarked MT DalZell amid applause and laughter of the republican side.

Democratic applause). challenge the gentleman and all the cohorts of vice and crime and corrup- | ton that are embodied in the repub- | lican party to show that the national committee ever contributed as much as my railroad fare during all that cam l paign."
 This was greeted with prolonged cheers and applause cn the democratic side.
 ''I do not suppose the gentleman paid any railroad fare" said MT. Dalzell.
 MT. Cochran said he paid his own expenses when he went away and said he: ''I challenge the gentleman now, as I challenged Mir. Hanna while he was living. as I challenged the New York Tribune last fall in New York while Mir. Hanna was still living and l now challenge every one of any side. to show where iIl the last twenty years I have not been a subscriber to instead of recipient from, campaign funds. The gentleman attributes to me what Ho lrv, Nx t.1 cry republican politician" This was greeted with prolonged cheers and applause by the democrats. "I can say as to myself" said Mir. | Dalzell. precisely what the gentleman has said as to himself with respect to | campaigning
 | Il should not have suspected the gen. | tleman," retorted MT. Cochran, but it has been my experience in life that no man is quick to accuse another of in- | fanny unless he has been intimate with it himself" There was more applaus e | and cheering on the democratic side | "T'he gentleman better apply that logic to himself right now and let me say to him that I said I had been in- | formed"

 At this there was wild and tumultous
 cheering and applause on the demo- cratic side.
