k s of Pending Measure and
Favors it, Believing it Step in
Right Direction Declares
There Has Been Much
Exaggeration Of Pro-
ductiveness of
Archipelago.

Champ Clark has his day in the
House Of Representatives, and for
three hours yesterday talked OF the
Philippine tariff bill and kindred
topics in that delightful fashion so
characteristic OF the man The mere
announcement that the eloquent
Missourian was to speak vas sufficient
TO fill the galleries, and on the floor OF
OF the House there were few vacant
desks during the time Mr.. Clark was
speaking
Incidentally the Champ Clark
brand OF Democracy was defined by
its most distinguished exponent
and 1.-THE House was entertain
ed by a speech replete with wit, sar-
casm, ~anecdone, ridicule, and repair
tee, due to the frequency Of the inter-
ruptions and the clashing Of some Of
the best mettle in the House
Mr.. Clark's speech took a vile
range. He talked Of the pending bill
and favored it, because IL was a step
in the right direction; be discussed
the general tariff question, and, In
particular, the German tariff situa-
ton. AS a result Of interruptions,
some good natured and some rather
irritating, he depressed to review
Bryan's record IN silver, and paid his
respects in characteristic oratory to
the Republican leaders.
RIDICULEs SECRETARY SHAW.
Predicting the future greatness OF
what be termed the great ;tand-pat
disciples, he referred to Secretary
Shaw, whose record as Secretary Of
the Treasury included classifying frog
legs as poultry and ponies as
"household articles for the collec-
ton Of revenue. His record, unless
republics and Republicans were I'M
grateful, made him the logical Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency
unless the mantle should fall on "the
gray and grizzled veteran, "Unclen
Joe Cannon, Speaker Of the House.
Mr.. Clark delivered the most OF his
speech while standing in the forum 10
front Of the Speaker'sde deck and facing
the Republican side Of the chamber,
to which most OF his arguments we're
addressed. AS was to be expected Of
such a speaker, he was frequently in
terrupted, and usually to the disc om-
future of the interrogation and the
great delight OF the House and the
galleries
Among those who thus dared enter
the lists with Champ Clark we're
Grosvenor, Hepburn, Dalzell, Payne,
Cooper, and Watson. Speaker Can
non, who surmlsed there would be
more or less Of fun during the speech,
for much Of the time occupied a seat
well down toward the front OF the Re-
publican, side, and often MI. Clark
apparently addressed his remarks per-
sonally to this Republican war horse.
The fight agasnst the bill was open
ed in the interest of the beet-sugar
industry by Mr.. Fordney,of Michigan.
He denounced the proposed legislation
as inimical to one Of the industries Of
the country, and recalled the Repub-
lican membership Of the House to the
party's pledges on the ''stand-pat"
traiff planks Of the national platform.
