would be nominated unless something
was done, the supporters of Cleveland,
German and Olney got together and

Washington, April 22-In the house
terly by Mr.. Kitchin of North Caro-
lima who included in his castigation
General Grosvenor, whom he charged
with having Inundated Theodore
Roosevelt, the vice-presidential candi-
date, whom in a recent speech in the
house he had glorified as worthy
successor of William Mckinley. Mr.
Kitchin likened President Roosevelt
in this connection to the ant-hill TAX
ing, the place of the mountain, the
OWLS screech taking the place of the
tomb's symphonies, and to the minnow
taking the place of the whale. He de-
clared that the president had insulted
the people Of the south by saying in
one Of his public speeches that
throughout the southern character
there ran a streak of brutal barbarism.
Mr.. Grosvenor admitted that four
years ago he opposed the nomination
of Mr.. Roosevelt for vice president
but said that Mr.. Roosevelt, during the
digniied manner and had won the con-
fidence and esteem of the people by
his acts from the time he was elected
to preside over the senate and that he
reached supreme heights when he de-
clared at Buffalo that he would carry
out the policies of Mckinley. Since
then the president had grown to be
one of the great men OF the country.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill occupied the major portion Of the
senate's time but before it was taken
up Senator Gallinger spoke at some
length on tariff policy of the republi-
can party. Cullom delivered a speech
on the house Chinese exclusion rider.
He expressed the opinion that there
should be explicit legislation reenact.
ing the existing exclusion laws, but
opposed the remaining portion of the
house provision and moved to strike
it out.
