BULL BY HORNS.
Clash Seemed Imminent so He
Orders Williams and Oalzell
To Their Seats.
ACRIMONIOUS WORDS SPOKEN.
The Pennsylvania Questioned the
Courage Of the Leader or the
Minority.

washington, April l3,--Speaker can
non was distinctly IN his element today
when every Indication pointed to a
clash between Mr.. Dalzell Of Pennsyl-
vania ana Mr., Williams OF MISSISSIPPI
over the use of certain sentences In
speech made by Mr. Hopkins OF Ken
lucky.
Immediately after the journal had
been read the house plunged into the
consideration OF resolution offered by
Mr.. Gardner of MASSACHUSETTS, TO have
expunged from the record certain re-
marks rejecting upon the integrity OF
Mr.. Bennett of New York.
ACRIMONIOUS WORDS.
Acrimonious words were general
The debate grew In intensity Of ex-
preston and the minority leader, Mr..
Williams. had severely impugned the
motives of Mr.. Bennett. who had Sc
cured the passage of Joint resolution
some DAYS ago waving the immigra-
ton laws in the case of an idiot.
Finally, Mr.. Dalzel was drawn into
the discussion and there seemed I'M
minent clash between the Pennsyl-
vanian and the Misslssippian. when
Mr. Cannon ordered both gentlemen
to their seats and directed that the
unparliamentary language by Mr., Dali
yell and Mr.. Williams be stricken from
the record, as both gentlemen were
speaking out Of order The resolu-

case.
Mr.. Gdrdner tMaSs J, replleu tndt

because in the hurry and confusion a
man does not tell them the whole story
from A to u.
WILLIAMS STARTLES HOUSE.
Mr.. Williams again startled the
house by asking that he be permitted
out of order to tell the house just what
his ideas were in cases like the one
under consideration. where absolutely
necessary Information regarding a bill
is withheld from the house. He said
the word "covertly." which Mr.. Hop
kins had used in describing the man
ner In which the resolution had been
''railroaded' through the house was,
in the light OF debate absolutely justi-
fled.
Mr. Hopkins (ky) rose to explain.
He disclaimed any intention whatever
to reflect any discredit upon his friend,
Mr. Goldfogle. He had made the re-
