Washington, June 7.-The House to. day listened to a bitter arraignment of the President at the hands of Mir. Brundidge (Ark) a member of the ap- propriations committee.
 Taking the Items for the refurnish. ing of the White House. the care of the grounds and the travelling ex- penses of the President as his text. MT Brundidge compared the expenses of the last Cleveland. the McT<inIey and the Roosevelt administrai<n
 Under the Cleveland administration. he said. there vas expended for the executive department including the salary of the President, s1s7,2oo Un- der the Mckinley administration there was expended $144.b00. while the bill under consideration carries for the ex- ecutive department including the care of the White House. great houses. etc. s253,340. In addition to this Mir. Brun- didge said that there were forty DO. licemen detailed to the care of the White House and grounds and this was an additional s4o,0oe added. bringing the total to nearly ssoo.000. which he denominated as extravaganza run mad.
 He said he did not know whether forty policemen were too few or too many, but he thought a section of the army ought to be detailed for the pro- lection of the person of the President and care of the grounds and these po- licemen permitted to go into the sparce ly settled sections of Washington. where thugs and marauders were prev ing upon defensefess women and ehil- drsn.
 He criticised the itcIn appropriaiins $2h,0 ,0ao for the travelling expenses of the President and incident thereto said 1t was probably made for the purpose of providing for -epetition of the muck rake speech.
 Muck Rake Nonsense.
 "As for myself" he satd, and I be- lieve also for large proportion of the people of this government. we have heard enough of this muck rake nap- sense ana tom feolery and we are dis gusted with it.
 NO wonder In view of the present appropriations and present expendi- lures. no wonder the President should hold up to public ridicule magazines and newspapers of this country and public men and private citizens who dare to criticise
 T entertain tho hope and belief that the time will never come in the history of politics of this government when any men occupying a position of pub ilc trust and public office will rise so high and become go great that the humbIest citizen and the hunblest newspaper to the largest may not just ly and properly criticise his official conduct and actions"
 He spoke of the Presidents table and of the enlarged number of horses con tained therein and then finally spoke of the arrest of Mrs Minor Morris and the appointment of Assistant Secretary to the President. MT BaEnes, as post master of Washington. as showing the L ha m. duets his office. During the speech MT. BrundidEe was frequently applauded by the Democrats. the Republican side of the chamber being almost deserted
 In referring to the' policemen de- tailed for duty In and about the White House grounds. MT. Brundidge satir- icaiIy said he recalled the. fact that recently the policeman made very important brave and gallant arrest
 Election of Mrs. Morris.
 Continuing along these lines he said:
 "By the aid of a burly negro these eentlemen succeeded in ejecting from the White House an inoffenstve. quiet, peaceable American woman. They car ried her out. 1t is true, with torce; they carried her out in manner that has ever been and ever will remain an insult to the American people. to the American manhood and to the American wcmanhocd. (Applause on the Democratic side )
 But. Mir Chairman, that may hare been necessary. In my candid judg. -nent 1t was disgraceful in the eH- treme An innocent, inotfensive woman whose only offense had been the desire to see the great chief of the United States in the executive mansion of this Government But, Mir. Chairman, when these gallant heroes and brave war riors had succeeded with much Hanger to their personal security in expell1nE this defcnseless character from this magniflcent mansion it seems to me that ordinary dtcency and ordinary propri- ety would have suggested that there the matter should stop.
 such was not the case. We find them writing letters to other cities and other States in order to discover and unearth some evidence of the fact that there was some stain or some blot on the character of this woman whom they had so unceremoniously and cowardly elected from the White House of the Government. tAPplause on the Demo- cratir side
 MT. Chairman, this, In my Judgment, was the greater crime of the two. It is repulsivc to deccncy. to honor and integrity alike. But MT, Chairman this is not all. If these forty gentlemen ought to hc retaiftd there nave no objection. but we learn that this gall lant centleOln. the brave and fearless employC who gave the order that this lady should be thus elected from the Wait, House finds his reward by be- ing appointed h5 the thief executive of this Governn3en, to one of the highest offices Tn the gift of the President He Is nada iostu,dst"r of the great city of Washiugtuu and thus again we are confronted with the great truth that bra t"rv hls its owp eWird. ."
 Defended " GroSvcDOr
 General tirosvcuor of Ohio replied to MT. Brundidso. He said we were now talking of the heef packing industries of this country because there Is an odor that carlrs up from them which is "offcnsi,e to the nostrils of some of the polite vouns gentlemen who have been detained for the inspection of those institotjors md at the same time we hear an assault upon the presidents household
 MT Grosvenor characterized the at tack on the president IS relic of an tiquity. He sad it could have no ef- feet upon the American people. He said
