"Hungry Marcher'." Camp stormsd

Cardiff Wales, Feb. 15-Hundreds
of neighboriug residents today stormed
and captured the Hunger Marcher's"
camp on the Marquis of Bnts's estate
near here, demolishing the building
which the marchers erected after their
invasion OF the estate, several weeks ago,
and drove them from the place under
threats of personal violence. Robert
Williams, leader of the "marchers"
was forced to seek police protection to
prevent being mobbed. TOdsy's out
break was the result of a clever diplo.
matte move by the marquis, who re-
Gently granted the public grazing rights
on his lands. This caused the people
to move sgaiust the camp in order that
they might have the land which it was
occupying for grazing.

THE KNOX BILL.

10 the House on Saturday evening
the majority aad minority presented
separate reports on the bill to enable
Mr.. Knox to become a cabinet officer.
The ms ority report was very brief and
confined no discussion OF the merits Of
the question at issue. 1t merely ideuti-
fed the bill and recommended tba. it
pass.
The minority report holds that Mr..
Knox's constitutional disability to hold
the Office of secretary of state during the
time for which be was elected to the
United States Senate cannot be removed
Dy legislative enactment The report
also urges that the question at issue
should be submitted to the committee
on the Judiciary for an Interpretation Of
the pr vision of the constitution Of
which S ,nstOr Knox has run afOul.
Bat the most remarkable part OF the
minority report, and the one that has
trscted most attention, seems to carry
with Il an sdmission That Judge Taft
will be reelected four years hence. This
passage Gays;
The office OF secretary of state will
probably be held for eight yesls by the
next incumbent, and a designing sera-
tor could reasonably anticipate that. a.
though his salary would be temporarily
reduced 10 the closing years of his sena'
torisl term, at the expiration Of that
term it would, through his inanerce, be
restored.
This apparent reference to Senator
Kuox az a designing seraor," who
would use his influence later on to have
his ,alsry as secretary OF state restored
to l2,OO0 a year. will be peculiarly
offensive TO the senator and bis friends

HOUSR.

Immediately after the r6a lipg of the
Journal Mr.. Gaines, chairman OF the
committee on election OF president. vice
president aud representatives, moved
that bic committee be discharged from
consideration OF the Senate Knox en-
abliug measure and the same passed in
the House.
There was immediate objection by Mr..
Fucker, the ranking member of the COM
mittee. He asked to have the time Of
debate extended to two hours. Mr..
G zines refused, Mr.. Rucker then de-
manded a second to Mr.. Gaines request,
Mr. Henry refusing to give unauim ous
consent to the request OF the West Vlr-
gi0isn that the second be considered IS
ordered.
A second was then ordered by a vote
of 116 to 60. The SPEAKER then au-
nounced that debate would last 40 min
utss, 20 to each side. There was instant
objection to this on the minority side.
Mr.. Clark, asked unanimous consent
for an hour on each side. Mr.. Payne,
objected, declaring that the other bust
ness Ct tbeHouse was to pressing too use
this much time.
Mr.. Henry, then proposed an evening
session, bat Mr. Payne a gain obi ected.
Mr.. Clayton, was the first speaker on
the question. "The present bill" he
said, Sin no wise ofl ,nds against the or.
ganic law, but the most that has been
urged is that it is an attempt to make a
person eligible. There can be no con-
stitutior al obstacles to the passage Of the
bill. l do not believe that any person
ever accepts a cabinet place because of
the ga airy inducement. If had an op.
portunity | would vote to reduce the
salary Of all the cabinet, and not alone
that of'the Secretary Of State"
"We are asked to make man eligible
who is ineligible under the constitu-
ton" said Mr.. Champ CLARK, the
minority leader. "This bill is simply
an effort to override the constitution by
statute. We are asked to stultify our
selves for fear we wont he persona gratis
at the White House. The thing tba'
makes Senator Knox ineligible in thi:
calnot be ignored aud all the statutes
that Congress could pass between now
and the 4th OF March cannot make him
eligible. It csn't be done.
Mr.. Gilellespie dem. Tex, vigor-
ously denounced the resolution. He de-
msnded that promise at least be at
tached to the effect that no future Con
gress could restore the salary. "Other
wise" he shouted, I'VE may have the
salary of the secretary Of 5 ate increased
to $12, 900.

resolution in a vigorous one minut
