FANATIcIsM AND GREED.
Reported Cause of Latest Outbreak on
AfGhnn-InLO Frontier.

CALCUTTA, May 26.-The latest out
break on the AfghanIndo frontier was
probably caused by fanaticism and
greed. The latter motive must have
been greatly strengthened by the truly
extraordinary success of the Zakka
raid into Peshawar three months ago.

guards and chowkidars, carried off

Smaller raids of the same character
were carried out last year in the shah
kadr District by the notorious Hakim
X han, and the loot obtained was openly
sold in the bazaar of I4alpura and Jala-
labad, where also the leading bandits
OF the Zakka raids are now honorec
guests. There is probably not one OF
the 100000 fighting men on the Afghan
border who has not heard the tale
about the loot.

SPEECHES NEVER MADE.
Clash Over Order Giving Mem
bcrs Leave To Print Speeches.

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 26.-Un-
der suspension of the rules, the House
today adopted an order presented by
Majority Leader Payne. granting to
members leave to print speeches for
five days after Adjournment.
Minority Leader Williams opposed the
order. In his opinion, the privilege
was but reward TO men who are
unscrupulous, men who are dishonest
in statements, men who are careless
and reckless OF what they are willing
to say.
He did not believe in matter going
into the Congressional Record that
could not be replied to. The Republic
cans, he charged. intended to try to
defend the policy OF doing nothing.
one reason lie said. why the House
had sunk so low was because the Con-
gressional Record had become so bulky
no one read IT, and the people We're
compelled TO get their information OF
what Congress was dong from the
press. The Republicans. he said, had
much to explain TO the people.
In reply, ,;Nr. Payne declared that \
was u universal ,yustom. He said ii
was more Imperative that no order

that have been wasted; ii is not nee
ossary to say how or by whom 1t has

as the Republicans.
1t would be matter of cruelty, said
MIR Payne, To adjourn without allow
ing the Democratic party the opportu-
nifty TO tell the country how they all
turned their backs on the Bryan-Wil-
liams currency bill
Against Mr. Wiliiams's allusion about
the bulkiness of the record, Mr.. Payne
read statistics showing that between
December 18th and January 18th last
before the tili6uster, the Democrats
publicains had occupied but thirty
eight pages. AS TO adjournment, MIR
Payne said the House would adjourn
when the majority saw fit to order 1t
The order was vigorously opposed by

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May 26.-The

little effort was shown on the part of
the managers of the tilibuster TO oc-

during the day, and the Senate was
merely kent in session in the hope
that something might be done looking
toward substantial progress in the
work OF closing up the session.
During the day bill was passed
amending the navigation laws in many
minor respects. and a resolution was
considered calling for names of former

1874, and who have been adjudged by
the auditor as entitled to additional
