Would Withdraw Part.

Mr.. Hopkins was willing to withdraw
that part of his speech commenting on
GOldfogle's personal appearance. but saw
no objection to other parts of the speech
Mr.. Goldfogle then launched forth into
the immigration bill. Mr.. Smith of Ken
lucky declared that everything that Mr.
Hopkins had said about the Diner case
was justifiable.
Mr.. Parsons of New York explained at
some length the Diner case. during which
he admitted that Fannie Diner had been
refused admittance by the immigration
authorities but that the family of Fannie
Diner were sufficiently able to see that
She should not become a public charge.

in the light of debate. absolutely JUSTIFIED
Mr.. Hopkins OF Kentucky rose to ex-
plain He disclaimed any intention what
ever to reflect any discredit upon his
friend. Mr.. GOldfogle. He had made the
remarks in a playful way but as to Mr.
Bennett he could not say so much for
after two hours debate he was more con
WINGED than ever that the statement he
made was reasonable and natural deduc-

in making them.
Permitted to Proceed.
This remark resulted in Mr.. Hopkius
being called to order. the speaker stating
that in his opinion the remarks were tot
in order and he was advised to proceed
in order. An effort was made to prohibits
Mr. Hopkins from making his statement
but on vote he was permitted to pro-

called upon to refute was the charge of
illiteracy against the people whom he
represented. As TO the Fannie Diner case
he said he had stated on the floor simply
what the commissioner general of iInmi-
grafton had told him, that she was a -
idiot; she shrunk from the light: that she
had sores upon her legs which indicated
that she had been manacled. and that she
had claws which showed she had not oeen
