speech, which he has been prevented
from delivering for several days on ac-
count of Democratic parliamentary
tactics, was filled with indignation
against the administration.
He said the president and his ad-
visers had taken the wrong course
generally and that 1t was the mistake
of a lifetime to try to hush up the
piggs- Caminetti case. Between his
bitter sentences, directed against the
administration. he sandwiched In sew
eral brand new contributions to the
Caminetti case, and introduced letters
which deal directly with the case and
have not been published previously
He said the administration had the
appearance of trying even now &c
shield some one by not producing al
the papers tn the case. He iauded
John l. McNab to the skies.

Frantic with fear because he said

tempted suicide by cutting his throat
with a razor this morning at ESQ

pended on the later part of the sem
