DISTRICT LOSES THE TIME
DISPUTE IN THE HOUSE BE-
TWEEN MANN AND sULZER.
Debate and Calling Of Yeas and
Nays Take Over Two Hours
From Local Affairs.

''BilI' Sulzer, the irresponsible East
Slider, who occupies and ornaments seat
on the democratic side. was in rarest form
today. Mr.. Suizer looked none the worse
for his experience Saturday last. when. in
the course of a wordy alteration with
Representative Mann of Chicago. the
great OBJ jector." the latter. to speak fgur-
atively, danced the highland hing on the
recumbent form of the New York cham
pion of the common peepul."
MFR. Mann started the festivities this
morning by urging the passing Of a reso-
luton to strike out Of the Record the
speech inserted by Mr.. Sulzer under the
authority OF a leave to extend permis-
sion as his speech Of last Saturday. and
insert what Mr. Sulzer really did say on
that day as shown by the transcription OF
the notes of the oficial stenographer-
In urging this resolution Mr.. Mann made
some caustic comments concerning Mr..
Sulzer and completed. to the best of his
ability. the skinning process which he
began day before yesterday.
Mr.. Sulzer sat through MIR. Mann's re-
ma rks with commendable patience. and at
their close refused to accept any time from
the gentleman from Chicago. who con-
trolled It, demanding the floor In his own
right BY unanimous consent he was given
an hour. and started in to defend himself.
He hadn't proceeded very far when his
temper. which, judging by the apoplectic
hue Of his countenance. was near the boil
ing point, dubbed over. and he called Mr.
Mann "a pettyfogging lawyer and sew
eral other. things which are not often
heard. personally addressed. In the House.
: The Speaker sternly called him down.
and he compiled with very bad grace.
After being declared out Of ORD order haif "a
dozen times Mr.. jSulzer finally managed
10 proceed getting in the Record all over
again most Of the things which the House
was then debating should or should not
be stricken out.
: At the close of his remarks Mr.. Sulzer
demanded the yeas and nays, ana !hls
,onx-dravn-out process. with the previous
scrap resulted in the waste of more than
two hours of valuable time.
Of course, it was the poor District OF
Columbia that suffered. This is District
day. and If it had not been for the Mann
Snlzer personalities the House, a few min
utes after noon. would have resolved IT.
self into the board of aldermen from the
District Of Columbia to con.ider num-
ber of District measures Of varying I'M
portance.
The Mann -Sulzer row began as re-
suit Of both these gentlemen claiming the
credit of having first thought OF the
bureau Of corporations and publicity pro-
vision in the law creating the Department
OF Commerce and Labor.
Announcement of the vote showed that
the resolution had carried and Mr. Sui
zer's speech was ordered stricken from
the Record.
Mr.. Sulzer showed his anger and his in
tention OF getting even by objecting to
ositions that came up. When District
business was reached. however. all the
bills being on the calendar, he could do
nothing to obstruct business.

Stock of Japanese Goods.
Steamer Mutsu Ashore.

CANTON. March c3.-The greatest in
dignation prevails here against the gov
ernment for yielding to the Japanese de-
mands in the TatSu Maru case. it being
considered that the governments action
in this matter has brought disgrace upon
this province. The Self-government So
ciety Of Canton has organized several
monster Indignation meetings. at which
resolutions were adopted that the anniver-
sary Of the release of the Tatsu Maru be
observed as A day Of public mourning.
The resolutions also declared a boycott
against Japanese goods.
More than $1,000 persons attended the
mass meetings held Saturday. Buildings
were draped In mourning. and twenty or
more orators delivered denunciatory
speeches. Among the speakers was a
twelve year-old boy. whose defamation
against the japanese caused the greatest
enthusiasm. A great number among those
who had assembled thereupon divested
themselves of Japanese-made garments.
including caps and handkerchiefs. and
made huge bonfire of them. One dealer
in Japanese goods offered to sacrifice his
entire stock.
The meeting recommended the impeach-
ment of Yuan Shi kai of the board Of

The Hideyoshi Maru and another steamer

Japan Protests.
PEkING, March 23-Japan has asked
China to take such steps as may be
necessary to prevent a boycott on JAP
anese goods in China and to put an end
to the anti-Japanese agitation growing
out Of the Tatsu Maru incident. This agi-
tation was manifested last week at Cam
ton. where there were several large meet
ing at which resolutions declaring that the
anniversary OF the release of the steamer
Tatsu Maru be observed as a day Of
mourning and proclaiming a boycott on
Japanese goods were adopted.
The native guilds and the press are
giving prominence to sensational reports
OF the Canton demonstrations against
Japan, indicating a widespread attempt
TO use the Tatsu Maru case against the
Peking government as we'll as against
Japan. 1t is believed that dozen or
more of the men recently taken into Gus
tody on the charge of agitating for reform
have been executed, the particular allega-
ton against them being that they had
traf1cked in governmental secrets.
