SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS
ITS CONCLUSIONS TO HOUSE.
Report Declares That New Jersey
Representative Had Violated

Washington, May 21.-The conclu'
slons OF the special committee which
has been investigating the charges Of
Representative Lilley Of Connecticut,
that members of the house had been
improperly Influenced In connection
with submarine torpedo boat legisla-
ton, that Mr.. Lilley had violated his
obligations as a member and had act
ed in bad faith with the committee
and in contempt of the house were
sustained Wednesday by. the house by
a vote of 157 to so. Five hours of
the session were devoted to the case,
four Of which were consumed in read
ing the report, The Connecticut mem
bers Joined in voting against the reso-
luton by which the house adopted the
conclusions of the committee as, its
own. Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi de-
nounced Mr.. Lilley as being guilty Of
treason for which he said he should
be expelled. He presumed that the
reason the committee did not carry Its
report to a recommendation to that
end was because Mr.. Lilley was at his
home Ill and unable to be present to
defend himself In such proceeding.
1t was a noticeable fact that the FIVE
members Of the special committee,
Messrs. Beutell, .Olmstead, Stevens,
Broussard and Howard sat together
throughout the proceedings and that
none Of them submitted any remarks
in connection with the report.
The partial conference report on the
sundry civil appropriation bill occa-
stoned lively debate. It was adopted
and the conferees will continue their
efforts to arrive at complete agree
ment.

QuayIe and Kansas.

Kansas ia nightly pleased by the
actiono the Methodist conference In
electing the Rev. william Al Quayle
as bishop. The rise Of Quayle from
the time when hc boarded himself in
d back room and sawed wood for his
support is one Of the things to which
Kansas points proudly. He is an ex-
ample Of the best young manhood Of
the west. No speaker ever appeared
on a Kansas platform who caught the
spirit Of Kansas better than Quayle;
he has always been able to get an au-
dience limited only by the size Of the
room whenever be went into the pull
pit. He will be great bishop, the
peer Of any who ever held that posi-
ton both as an administrator and as
pulpit orator. Kansas has just one
more wish - that his official residence
be fixed at Topeka.

How Can Il Be-

The Kansas City Journal says il
cannot understand how anything has
been proven against Senator Long
by the attack made ON him by Will
liam Allen White. 1t says: I'VE
don't see how Mr.. Long can be honest,
as White says he is, and vote as badly
Is White says he does. We don't see
how Mr.. White can reconcile these
bad votes with the fact that the chief
political saint, Mr.. Roosevelt, agreed
with Long on nearly all the points
complained Of. We don't see how
Mr.. White can be so enthusiastic for
Mr.. Bristow when Mr.. Roosevelt was
so enthusiastic against Mr.. Bristow.
We don't see how Mr.. White can be
so conscienceless as to charge Mr..
Long with voting improperly on q
long list OF matters to which Mr..
White has never given any attention
and about which be knows nothing.
We don't see how Mr.. Bristow can get
to the senate with no better ammuni-
ton than the general charge that Mr..
Long is in league with Wall street,
because Mr.. Bristow has always been
as thick with the railroads and as
fond Of the help of sO-called Wall
street men as any one in Kansas" The
same idea is held BY lot Of other
persons besides the editor Of the
Journal.

The indignation excited by Mr..
Stubbs' action became SO open in
Junction City that his friends there
have notified him that he would

Speaker Cannon and it is q pretty
good sort Of story, too. F. 2. Mac

bis Impressions Of Cannon. He had

act in his favor. The choice epithets
