Representative Burton Victorious in Fight for Costly Public Build ing at Cleveland, Ohio,
 His Home Town.

Washington, Feb. 27.-With hand Iul of Republicans, and aided by the Democrats. Representative Burton (O.) today gained complete control of the House and forced an amendment to the sundry civil bill requiring the use of granite in the construction of the public building at Cleveland. his home town.
 Chairman Hemenway of the Appro- priations Committee, was put to rouI while the unusual spectacle was wit messed of the presiding officer being twice overruled on an appeal from his decisions.
 The amendment, however. was not agreed to until MT. Hemenway had ex- hausted unsuccessfully every means at his disposal to check the tide against him. In order to adopt the amendment 1t was necessary to revert to page of the bill already passed over, proce- dure also unusual.
 Seeing that he had been outfianked by MT Burton, MT. Hemenway several times sought an adjournment after the till had been reported to the House for favorable action, but his motions were voted down. So clearly were he and his followers in the minority that MT. Hemenway interrupted a roll call to move the passage of the bill. which carried amid loud applause. The bill carries a total of $65.2722so.
 Earlier in the day the conference re- port on the army appropriations bill was agreed to, and number of meas uIes pertaining to the District of Co., lumbia were passed.
 When the House met today at II o'clock the regular order was the con- sideration in committee of the whole of bills relating to the District of Co., lumbia. Mir. Bartlett (Ga.), renewed his opposition to the bill authorizing the Surrattsville, Anacosta and Brandy wine Railroad Company to extend its line into the District. The committee of the whole. 22 to 30. refused to rise and report the bill favorably to the House and on a point of no quorum the roll was called.
 Bartlett Overridden.
 A quorum appeared and the bill was favorably reported. but MT. Bartlett continued his opposition and made the point of no quorum on a motion by MT. Babcock (wis ), for the adoption of the previous question. The roll accordingly again was called. A quorum again ap- peared and the previous question was adopted. MT. Bartlett interposed fur ther opposition but his efforts were fruitless. and the bill finally passed.
 The proceedings later were inter rupted by message from the Senate
  Swayne of all of the counts against him. There was no demonstration of any Kind when the action of the Senate was read
 Mir Hemenway (Ind.) chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, re- ported the general deficiency bill, the last of the great supply bills of the Government to be reported at this ses- sion, following which further consider ation was given to District of Columbia measures.
 The controversy over the admission to West Point Military Academy of two Chinese subjects. Ying Hsing Wen and Ting Chia Chen was renewed when MT. Hull Ga.) again offered the resolution having that object in view Its con- sideration by unanimous consent was objected to by MT. Butler (Pa. ), where upon MT. Hull moved q suspension of the rules. To refuse the permission now, he said, was a certification to the world that the United States would extend such courtesies to Japan and other nations and refuse 1t to China fin the face of the desire of this country to extend its trade relations with the latter nation.
 MT. Maddox (Ga.) said he did not be- lieve the United States ought to teach foreigners its methods of war.
 Resolutions Passed.
 Without further discussion. the rules were suspended and the resolu- tions passed.
 The conference report on the army appropriation bill then was agreed to, which passed the measure.
 The sundry civil appropriation bill was then taken up. the pending amend ment being that by MT. Adamson (Ga) to increase by $50.000 the appropriation for typographical surveys
 Following plea by MT. Hemenway Ind1 for economy, MT. Williams (Miss.), the minority leader, severely arraigned the administration for hav- Ing abandoned the Monroe doctrine. The way to economize, he said, was to Stop our miserable, Oriental, col onistic. foolshness.' The United States should stop sending men of war to assist in establishing receivers for South American republics. The Mon roe doctrine, he declared, had been deserted for new Roosevelt doc Urine that is henceforth to be the guide of the American people in their deal ings with the world" and means the sending of American boys to be shot down while acting as policemen to col lect debts for European speculators He predicted that if once the United States put its foot into Santo Domingo 1t would never come out. just as Eng land never was able to come out of GRypl when sne went to collect the debts of the Khedive.
 MT. Hemenway twitted the Demo crats with the fact that notwithstand- ing their charge before election that the President was treading on danger ous ground "by appointing receivers for South American republics" they were trying to get up to the wbtte House to approve President Roose- velt's election. Mir Williams. he de- clared. was left almost alone in bis disapproval of the President. Mr Williams interrupted that he may have "slopped over' in his approval of the President for taking a Democratic no- sition. but never in favor of a Roosa- welt policy.
 MT. Hemenway retorted that Mir Williams had stopped over" to the President in the face of the knowI edge that the Presidents policies since the election may have been the same ne hefora the election
