I I I u CALLS aQWN WltlJETT Bitter Attack on President Gut Short by House. New York Representative Also Refers to Chief Executive as "Pigmy De scendant of Dutch Trades People, Tyrant and Bogus Hero.' A blttor attack on President Roose velt was made In the house by Wlllott (N. Y.). His remarks, which wcro de livered under the license of general debate on the petiBlon appropriation bill, were cut short by a vote of tho bouse that It would hear no more of them. Wlllott characterized the president as a "gargoyle, tyrant, pigmy descend nnt of Dutch trades people, hay tendor, fountain of blllingsgute, a jocular Imi tation of a king and bogus hero," ami charged him with having "established a court In the Whlto House which would have delighted the heart of Alexander Hamilton. Wlllett took for Ills theme "The Passing of Roosevelt," nnd In a speech of great length, dealt with numerous of the president's acts since he came Into office and scathing ly denounced them. Wlllett kad completed the reading of about threo-fourthB of 'his spt-ech when, after repeated appeals to .the chair by numerous Republicans that ho be called to order, he was com pelled to take hlH seat. It was on a motion by Chandler (Miss.) that the New Yorker bo allowed to proceed, "In order," that tho houso voted him oft the floor, 78 to 12G. Smith (Mo.) pleaded for pensions for certain militiamen of Missouri, Langloy (Ky.) did likewise for some of bis constituents, Norm (Neb.) attack ed the house rules, Larrlngaga (Porto Rico) presented arguments to show that Porto Rico had not progressed po litically, and Qoulden (N. Y.), Bowers (Miss.) and Kelfcr (O.) discussed tho merits of the pension bill. Proceedings In Senate. By n voto of 37 to 27 the Benato fixed tho Balary of tho speaiter of tho houso of representatives at $15,000, In stead of $12,000 as at present, aud In stead of $20,000, as proposed by tho committee on appropriations. A vigor ous speech against any lncrcaso was made by Senator Bailey and numerous other addresses were made lu support of the proposition. Senator Rayner endeavored to have tho senate adopt a resolution calling on the attorney general for Informa tion as to whether the president had ordered suits brought against the New York World and the Indianapolis News because of alleged libel in publications relating to the purchase of the Panama canal property and under wfhat statute this action had been taken. Upon mo tion further consideration was post poned for a day. Tho president sent to' congress n message recommending the passage of n law authorizing him to iBsue a proc lamation setting apart Feb. 12, 1900, ns'a special holiday In recognition ot the centennial anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.

The open shop atd a light to the fin ish was the action decided by the hat manufacturers association at a meet ing held In New York to discuss strike of hatters, which began Friday, An eftect ot the strike, ac cording to the manufacturers, will be a rise in the price of hats, as the trouble occurred In the busy season. President Samuel Mundhelm said after the meeting that-the number of strikers was between 15,000 and 20. 000, but that there were many non union hatters out of employment, and that eventually the places of the strik ers would be filled. Mr. Mundhelm, In discussing the discontinuance of the union label by the manufacturers which participated In the strike, said: "The label Is ot no advantage to the manufacturers nnd. Indeed, Is not wanted. Very few peo ple who buy hats notice whether the label Is In It or not." A statement Issued by the manufact urers was, In effect, that there should be no stoppage of work until a final decision ot arbitration bad been ren dered and that the union label should not be removed until due notice is gtcn the manufacturers.

The national government, by agreement with the Japanese government and through the spontaneous initiative of the Japanese government, has been able to complete a satlslactory solution of all possible difficulties, of all possible questions that could bo at Issue between our people and the Japanese people. It Is only the federal government that can with wisdom and pioprlety .deal with those questions, and I ask all good Americans to see to It that un wise men, foolish men, do not jeopar dize to their own harm and the harm of their own locality, tho arrangement that Is now working out so satisfac torily to the governments of the Unit ed States and Japan." The preilleut declared that the Methodists f the country had been an inspiration to him during the years of his presidency.
