Byrnes's Speech Stirs Congress.

Washington, May 13.-The speech
made by Congressman Byrnes in the
house Yesterday, in which he severely
condemned Republicans for their
waste of both time and money, has
caused much discussion here. Com
menting on the matter the Washing
ton Times today said:
Speaker Gillette finds that censor
ing leading Democrats in the house
for attacking the Grand old Party
doesn't always pay as a time-saving
device.
"By refusing to recognize Congress-
man Byrnes, of South Carolina, for
ten minutes longer, Speaker Gillette
embroiled the house in good old
fashioned family row that lasted one
hour.
But the speaker was obstinate and
refused to yield his point and the
Democratic colleagues of Mr.. Byrnes
were just as obstinate in insisting
that the attack on the G. o. P. should
continue. AS a compromise the speak
er allowed Mr.. Byrnes to extend his
remarks into the record.
Speaker Gillette sat down SO hard
on Mr.. Byrnes that the South Caro-
linian in a fine display of scarcasm,
asked permission if he might be al
lowed to remain in the house. With
all his New England dignity at his
command, the speaker ignored the
request
