 "Yes," replied MT. Lttaeur. and the clerks and stenographers will be taken care of through the civil service commis- sion."
 MT. Williams, Mississippi, called the at tenton of the house to two letters passed between MT. Mccall Massachusetts, and Mir Payne, New York, in relation to the tariff. which he asked might be printed in the Record.
 Williams Comments on Letter.
 Commenting on these letters MT. Will Hams remarked that the historic old state of Massachusetts which has been calling for a revision of the tariff for years, had gone to the floor leader of the majority asking for bread and he had given 1t stone.
 He said it was peculiarly appropriate at this time to discuss the tariff question because of the appropriation asked for in the bill relative to the congress of American republics at Rio Janeiro
 "The man who made the first Pan American congress possible, James G. Blaine is dead and forgotten by the re- publicans, and Mckinley is almost for gotten," said MT. Williams, and reef procity is also dead The senate refuses to pass reciprocal treaties, and 1t is only
  to inaugurate a tariff war that reciproci- ty triumphs."
 He wanted to know if the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne) was going to stand pat on the steel trust, and the armor plate trust, and whether the re- publican party was going to stand pat against the desires of Massachusetts for trade relief.
 Mr. Payne in replying to MT. Williams hot OD and means was not acting on transformation and 1t would continue to act intelligently, notwithstanding the strictures of the ml- nority leader.
 MT. Shackelford, Missouri, with trem- bling voice then read a prepared state- ment regarding the language he-intended to use when taken off the floor last week by Mir Tawney, Minnesota, who objected to the tenor of his words as they seemed to reflect upon the speaker,
 MT. Shackelford said that the bill in- troduced by his colleague, MT. Rhodes, to pension the Missouri volunteers should pass.
 We're here, DeArmond Clark Lloyd, Fucker Hunt Wood, Shackelford, all ready and anxious to vote for the meas ure Take your heavy hand off the old soldier, MT. Speaker, and let us vote for this blll," he said.
 Speaker Shows Deep Feeling.
 As he sat down with this utterance still ringing through the hall, Speaker Can non arose. Republicans gathered in front of the speakers desk, and democrats crowned the aisles. The speaker showed deep feeling as he replied:
 Mir. Chairman. just a second only. 1 have listened to the gentleman from Mis- souri, MT. Shackelford. If it affords him n ka a at o horse on account of the quarrel with the minority leader. we'll and good" (Ap- plause)
 MT. Shackelford with deep feeling re- piled in the midst of the confusion which ensued owing to the speakers unusual appearance:
 q deny, MT. Speaker. that my quarrel with you has any such foundation"
 MT. Fitzgerald of New York offered an amendment providing that no part of the sum appropriated shall be expended un- less the. programme for the hio Janeiro congress shall contain a provision for the discussion of reciprocal trade relations be {. tween the countries participating in the conference.
 The amendment was lost, 47 to 9S
