provoke disorder and disturbance.
Almost Immediately thereafter
Hearst took his seat, hurting defiance
and declaring it would be his pride to
continue his hostility to individuals {
such as he charged Sullivan to be.
/ Sullivan took the floor Immediately
after the reading of the Journal at
noon. He had prepared a speech
which he read, after explaining the
purpose of his remarks that he had
read an article in the New York
American to which he had taken
oHense. After protest from Robinson,
of Indiana, the speaker allowed Sulli-
van to continue but with such vigor-
Gus accommodation as to again bring
| forth point order from Robinson.
The speaker ordered the Objectionable
sentence read, which was done by the
clerk.
The speaker ruled it in order and
Sullivan proceeded without any furth
er interruption. Hearst rose to re-
ply, when Sullivan took his seat but
/ he had TO wait two minutes for order.
Hearst's reply was brief. the sensa-
tional part being the concluding SEN
tence in which. by inference, he
charged Sullivan with murder.
Hearst said he assumed the entire
responsibility for the article, which
aroused Sullivan's Indignation, al
though, he said. he had not inspired
it, nor did he know in advance of its
intended publication. He said he
would be glad to incur the hostility
of that class of individuals.
Previous to this he had reviewed an
attack made on him by Representative
johnson, of California and he said
that Johnson's defeat for congress was
the result. Sullivan after adjourn
: ment said that he would take the floor
to reply to the reflection on him to-
morrow.
} CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Not during
the last six years has the equal of the

Mexico and from the Rockies to the
Atlantic, the mercury registering all
the way from zero to 40 degrees below,

ported in many places in the city.

that blows from the northwest at thir-

up is shown in the northwest tonight,
st. Paul reporting ten below as against
twenty FIVE last night.
