SMITH MEETING IS
 BROKEN UP BY ROW
TWO MEN QUARREL OVER A 15- CENT DEBT-ONE KILLS THE OTHER AND IS HIMSELF KILLED BY THE CROWD.

Columbus, Ga, May 23.--A special to the Enquirer-Sun from Chpley, Ga, says tha. an outdoor political meeting addressed by Hoke Smith was broken up there today by pistol duel in the edge of the crowd in which Hastley, a farmer, was killed and John Irwin, his slayer, was killed three blocks distant by crowd who pur- sued him.
 It is reported that bad feeling had exist ed between the two on account or a small debt of 15 cents, and when they met at the speaking today the quarrel was renewed.
 In spite of efforts to calm the men, they began shooting. with the result that Has ley fell. dying almost instantly Irwin ran and was followed by several men whose identity is not known. The pur- suers kept up a fuslade of shots and about three blocks distant Irwin fell pierced by number of bullets, dying im- medately. About sixty-five shots were fired.
 Two spectators at the political meeting were slightly wounded by stray bullets.

POLITICAL ISSUES
 BEING DEFINED
SPEECHES IN CONGRESS ALREADY INDICATE QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD IN COMING CAMPAIGN.

Washington, May 23.-The issues des- ing campaign are already being joined if the speeches now being made in the House are safe index
 Several weeks ago MT. Rainey of lilli- nois made a carefully prepared speech on the watch trust asserting that the watch manufacturers had one price Tor watches at home and lesser price abroad.
 Today in the House Charles B. Landis fin a sense answered Mir Rainey, frankly admitting that American manufacturers had one price at home and another abroad and he defended the practice as in ac- cord with good business methods in- sisting that all countries sold their wares for less prices abroad than at home.
 MT. Landis also paid some attention to a speech made by Bourke Cochran of New York, wherein the latter denounced the policy of protection as one of public thunder; fountain source of all corrup- ton and the cause of total demorallzation of the American republic. This, MT. Lam dis denied. He said that every poor, put ambitious emigrant who landed here dur ing the last ten years would refute that allegation. Referring to MT. Cochran's speech, he said:
 This is the best country on earth. and not the worst country on earth. And If I thought about 1t as the gentleman from New York I would resign my seat in this House. sell out my belongings and move to some other country nearer in harmony with my political notions.
 Other speeches were made by MT. Will Hams, the minority leader, in answer to Mir Landis and by MT. Longworth of Ohio, who advocated increased pay for diplomatic officers and the ownership of legation buildings at all foreign cap ftals.
