Washington, Aug. 1 —In the House
yesterday Mr. Wheeler of Alabama re
newed his attack on Mr. Watson of
Georgia. He quoted from a book writ
ten by Watson, charging members of
the House with drunkenness on the
floor. Mr. Wheeler denounced the
statement us untrue. There was a good
deal of excitement.
Mr. Hurrows of Michigan, called Mr.
Wheeler to order and said business
could not be interrupted by a political
harangue. Mr. Wheeler resumed his
seat after beiug called to order several
times.
Mr. Watson then rose to reply and
accused Mr. Wheeler of falsely charg
ing him with trying to break up tin
solid South with the sub-treasury bill.
Mr. Coombs of New York called Mr.
Watson to order.
Mr. Watson suid: ‘‘The gentleman
from New York cannot bulldoze me.”
He attemped to proceed amid interrup
tions. Holding up his book, he said:
“Kvery word in it is true.” [Hisses. |
Air. Traeey of New York called Mr.
Watson to order and said he had re
flected on the members. He demanded
that Mr. Watson take his seat. There
was renewed excitement and Mr. Wat
son took his seat.
The Speaker called the House to
order and suld hissing must cease.
Mr. Watson's statement as to the
truth of his book was read from the
stenographer's notes, also the state
ment in the book that members had
been drunk while debating. There
was a sensation over this language.
Mr. Simpson of Kansas moved that
Mr. Watson be allowed to explain why
he stood by the allegations in the
book. _

Anti-Option Legislation Will Likely Be
Postponed.
Washington, Aug. 1.—Senator Wash
burn has got to the point where he is
ready to let the anti-option bill over
till the short session. The only ques
tion is to insure it the right of way
then. Washburn will ask unanimous
consent probably to-dav to make the
bill the unfinished business for the
first N nday in December after the
Senate reassembles. If unanimous con
sent esunot bp had a motion will be in
order, and the supporters of the bill
have enough votes to carry the motion.
But the chances are that there will be
no occasion.
Nothing was done on the bill in the
Senate yesterday because time was
taken up in tariff talk. The trouble
had in securing a bare quorum was,
however, enough to show the sup
porters of. the measure the difficulty
there would be in passing it this session.
They reluctantly admitted as much,
and then showed their willingness to
have it go over to December on their
own terms.
Mr. Washburn did intend to ask to
have the bill made the unfinished busi
ness for December, but at Senator Alli
son’s suggestion postponed his request
till to-day.
SILVER AND THE TARIFF.
Speeches In the Senate by Senators Stew
art and Carlisle.
Washington, Aug. ll—There was no
quorum present when the Senate
>pened yesterday, but subsequently
Senator Proctor came in and this made
die quorum. Senator Stewart then de
ivered a speech on the silver queseion.
When the morning hour expired Sens
or Carlisle began a speech on the
tariff.
After a short speech by Mr. Allison
in defense of the McKinley bill Mr.
Hawley obtained the floor.
The Hale resolution went over till
to-day, and the anti-option bill was
laid before the Senate as the unfin
ished business. It was laid aside in
formally, and the President’s message
vetoing McGarrahan claim bill was
read and postponed until the second
Tuesdry in December next, and the
Senate adjourned.
SENATOR COLQUITT ILL.
Overcome by the Heat—HU Condition

Washington, Aug. l.—Senator Col

Wednesday while visiting some of the
downtown departments. He was
taken to his residence und for a
long time his condition was regarded
as critical. He improved somewhat
yesterday and is now resting comfort
ably, although his physician does not
regard him as wholly out of danger.
Should he recover sufficiently he will
be removed to his home in Atlanta.
The World's Pair Fight.
Washington, Aug. 1.—What the
outcome of the filibustering struggle
now in progress in the House will be is
still uncertain. There is no sign of
weakening on either side, though both
parties to the contest are suffering
from desertion. The attendance, while
large, showed a falling off, and each
recurring hour of departing trains will
find the forces still further depleted.
It seems to be a battle to the death,
neither side showing the slightest
symptom of yielding.
Mr. Durborow of Illinois, although
he docs not speak as confidently as he
did, has faith in the ultimate triumph
of the friends of the world's fair ap
propriation. , lie had no idea when the
fight would end, but he was sure that
the friends of the appropriation would
be successful.
‘ If the bill fails," said Mr. Taylor of
" ■ V'.\- .
Illinois, “I think there will be an ex
tra session. We will not permit any
extension of appropriations, and then
an extra session must be called. But
I feel confident that there will be no
adjournment until the bill is passed."

In the senate#on the *J0th the anti
option biil vu taken up. Mr. George
I addressed the senate. tie said the
^ New Orleans and New York cotton ex.
changes were composed ot men who
did not deal in cotton, consume or
even Candle it and characterized their
dealings as gambling. ' The matter
i was not disposed of. Mr. Allison
made the conference report on the
sundry civil appropriation bill. The
report, although referring to the
amendments of the bill by numbers
only, covered manv pages of typewrit
ten letter-size paper and its reading
occupied nearly a quarter of au hour.
! Mr. Allison made an explanation of
the conference report, stating thatout
side the provisions about the World's
fair there was but one other matter
left open—the .provision inserted by
the house, prohibiting theemployment
of Pinkerton detectives. He went
somewhat into details upon other
points on which tqe senate conferees
had surrendered. The report was
"jrau to ana a lurtner conference
was asked as to the points on which
there had been no agreement.
Mr. Culiotn offered a concurrent res
olution (which was agreed to), grant
ing to the ladies of Washington
permission to give a reception in the
capitol on the 19th of September, 1892,
to the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Women’s Relief corps. In the
house Mr. Wheeier of Michigan called
up us the special order the report of
the committee investigating the work
ings of the pension office. Mr. Little
of New York spoke in advocacy of the
majority report, which gives' as
the judgment of the house that Com
missioner Raum should be removed
from office by the president. Mr. Lind
of Michigun opposed the resolution.
Mr. Enloe of Tennessee, one of the au
thors of the investigating resolution,
spoke in favor of the report The de
bate, which was very uninteresting,
was interrupted at this time by Mr.
Sayers of Texan who submitted a dis
agreement report on the general defi
ciency appropriation bill, and the
report was agreed to.
In the senate on the 26th in spite of
the superheated atmosphere in the
chamber, the opening debate in the
presidential campaign took piace. Mr.
Aldrich opened it with tpe declaration
that the tariff question was to become,
by common consent, the leading issue
in that campaign. Mr. Vest took up
the gauntlet and announced it as the
determination of the democratic party
to make it the issue in every township
in the land. The debate was also par
ticipated in by Senators Allison, Hale
and Palmer. It lasted between four
and five hours and at its close the res
olution‘on which it was based was laid
on the table to be taken up again when
Mr. Carlise shall be ready to answer
Mr. Aldrich on the points made by
him. Vest replied to Mr. Aldrich, re
ferring to the question of strikes in
Great Britain and in the United States.
Mr. Vest said that it was marvelous
from Mf.-Aldrich-’s position' that the
workingmen in Great Britain were not
in arms against their employers. In
the face of the carnage at Homestead
the senator from Rhode Island pre
sented that there were the most amic
able relations existing between employ
ers and employed in the United States.
In that senator's theory the United
States should be a paradise for the
workingmen, and there should be no
discontent. As to Mr. Aldrich's re
marks about the agricultural prosper
ity, Mr. Vest asserted that the price
of farm land (which was the test of
agricultural prosperity) had steadily
gone down in Missouri and the other
largely agricultural states. In the
house a bill passed to reserve from en
try one section in each township in
Oklahoma, so as to have in reserve a
body of land which may be sold after
Oklahoma is admitted as a state. The
house also paid a bill providing that
no railroad in Oklahoma or in Indian
Territory shall charge more than 3
cents a' mile for passengera A bill
was also passed to enable the peoplo
of Utah to arrange for participation in
the World’s fair. Mr. Holman of In
diana presented the disagreeing report
on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. It was agreed to. The con
ference report on the general deficien
cy appropriation bill was agreed to.
In the senate .on the 26th three
speeches were made on the anti-option
bill. Senator Coke assailed it lor un
constitutionality, but offered a substi
tute on behalf of bimseif and Senators
George and Pugh. Senator Mitchell
made a legal argument in support of
the constitutionality of the bill. aDd
Senator Palmer argued against it as an
invasion of the police rights of states.
No attempt was made to have a vote
on Wolcott's motion to refer the bill
to the committee on finance, and when
Washburn tried to get unanimous con
sent to have the time fixed for final
vote an objection was interposed by
Senator White. For some weeks past
numerous petitions have been pre
sented in the senate and referea to the
committee on foreign relations in ref
erence to the imprisonment in Eng
land of Dr. Thomas Gallagher. Chair
| man remarked that the committee
didn’t know what the legislative ae
I partment of the government had to
I do with the question. On mo.

mission was passed. In the house a

McKinley act) was a puoiic calamity
to be deplored by every man who ■( vC
loved his country. His purpose was
(he said^ to show that the tariff act ol -•
1890 haa interfered with the natural
tendency to a decline in the prices of
commodities and a raise in the rates
of wages, and that it had made it *
harder and more expensive for the !
masses of the people of the United
btates to live. He said that 'fifteen
general occupations in unprotected in
dustries were bakers, oiacicsmiths,
bricklayers, cabinet makers, carpen
ters, common laoorers, farm laborers,
machinista masons, ironmoiders,
painters, plumbers, stonecutters, tail
ors and tinsmiths. The average in*
crease of wages in these occupations
during the period covered by the in
vestigation of the finance committee
has been 75-100 of 1 per cent. The
fifteen highly protected occupations
were bar iron, boots and shoes. cottOD
goods, cotton and woolen goods, cru*
cible steel, flint glass, creen glass,
lumber, machinery, pig iron, steel in
gots, steel blooms, steei rails, window
glass and woolen goods. In these oc- ■%{
cupations the rates of wages had fallen
(since the McKinley act) an average
of 89-100 of 1 per cent as against s S
rise of 75-100 of 1 per cent in the un
protected industries. In the house
whitt the outcome of the filibustering
struggle now in process will be, is
still uncertain. There is no sign oi
weakening on either side, though both
parties to the contest are suffering
from desertions. The attendance, while
large, showed a falling off from that
of yesterday, and each recurring hout
of«departing trains will find the forces
still further depleted, it seems to be
a battle to the death, neither tide
showing the slightest symptoms oi
yielding. -II the bill fails, ” said Mr.
Taylor of Illinois, ‘-l think there will
be an extra session. We will not per.
mit any extension of appropriations
and then an extra session must be
called. But I feel confident that there
will be no adjournment until the bill
is passed.”
