Mr Talbot >f Month! arollna rose to
a question of personal privilege to
correct what lie said was ao uninten

unwarranted sttnek on Hi* lovaltv of

loyal aa any state In the union, Mr.
Pearson had said that North Carolina
had followed South Carolina out of
the union, and had got whipped along

Continued Mr Talbot, "I declared that

Hy this time the excitement on the

Mr. Crisp said that he had never
known an Instance when a member
waa called to order and a motion was
made that he be allowed to explain his
utterances that such a motion was not
considered. To this Mr Karrett re
plied that he had no objection to the
gentleman from Mouth Carolina ex
plaining at the proper time hi* state

taken an oath to sustain the constitu

would, under certain drum stance, at

There was more purlimentary spar

gradually lose The Speaker dually
cut the matter short by saying that if
the House was not satisfied with Mr.
Talbot’s explanation the resolutiom
might be offered. The Speaker de
cided that Mr Crisp's motion was in
order.

Dingiey, rising, “that the House does
not intend in vote on a resolution of
censors without according the gentle
man from South Carolina an opporun

These words won the applause of
the Democratic side
Mr. Talbot availed himself of the
opportunity and explained that he
had risen to correct a misrepresenta

Intended to misrepresent hint inten
tionally. Houth Carolina, he pro
ceeded, was as loyal and as true to the
Union as arty .State in the Union. The
circumstances under which she se
ceded could not exist again arid lie
was glad of it (Democratic applause).
Mr. Harre'.tot Massachusetts jumped
up at. these words ami asked that the
words i/e taken down.
Several members appealed to him
not to do so and the speaker asked
Mr. ltarrett. if he insisted upon the
demand.
Mr. Harrell seemed t<> hesitate when
Mr. Talbot again gi/t on his feet and
declared in a loud voice tiiat he was
willing to have Ids words taken down.
“I wilt stand l>y them,'' said he.
These words seemed to elitieli Mr.

plied to the speaker witii feeling:
"Yes. I insist. I want to see if u

fashion."
"The chair understood that the gen

repealing what he hud -aid on a for.

Mr. ltarrett replied that in that case
lie had a point of order to submit. Mr.

WtlRimox, Feb. R.—Senator Allen
of Nebrrtka addressed the Senate to
day on the Monroe doctrine resoln
tion lie contended that the Monroe |
doctrine was one of national self-pres*

the South American republic* by
Great llritain will endanger the wel

the action with all the strength and
reaouroes of a mighty nation. The
United States must lie the eaclualve
judge of wheu the doctrine i* to he

maintained, cannot permit Great
llritain or any other foreign power to
determine when am! to wiiat. extent
the acquisition of territory on the
Western hemisphere will imperil our
Government.
lie thought, iiowever, that it would
be amplu time to act when the Venez
uelan commission shall have r«p< i ted,
aud said: "If we shall determine that
the antiou of Great llritain In acquir
ing territory in.Venezuela will Imperil
our government by imperiling the
rights of Venezuela, it will become
our duty to marshal all the resources
of our people to resist the threatened
or actual invasion If, on the other
hand, we shall determine, after due
investigation and deliberation, that
our interests will not lie imperiled, it
will Ire our duty to abstain from any
interference with the action of Great
llritain."

“We mistake the temper of the

more small holdings of gold will lie

Wssuigoron, Feb. 7.—The moat
eauatia utterances heard Id the senate
Sinee Mr. Tillinan'a sensational speech
itaa that of Mr. Veat arraigning Sec
retary of Agriculture Morton yc ter
day. The general natire and ridicule
directed ugaiuat the accrelary, and the
alliiaioua made to the president, made
the apeecli hardly less notable than
that which atartled the senate. Mr.
Vest referred derisively to "tha |
colossal Intellect dealing with cab
bage*."
At one point the senator said: "The
aecretary of agriculture churges from
hla office, reminding im of what Cicero

ate: ‘Ah It exeesalt cvaslt erupit.’
(Laughter). When the secretary of

Mr. Vest severely criticised the
practice of fm nlshlug costly flowers
from liovcrnincnt green houses for the
receptions at the Executive mansion,
and added: ‘‘Mir. 1 would rather give
twice the amount of this uiiproprlat ion
to enable some poor man in a distant
county of the W'est who is fighting the
hard battle of life; 1 would rat her give
him something that would make his

of thin Government, wliere the chan- j
(teller da die* its light ucroM the red ;

fume like the spicy breeze of Aruby ,

Mr. Vest referred to the "bugle
blast*' from the Secretary of Agricul
ture as to the congressional extrava
gance in distributing seeds,
"The Democratic party lias been
most unfortunate," said the Senator,
with emphu' is. "not only a* to It* in
ternal discords, hut also in the
fact that the devil has owed us a
grudge and has paid it In a secretary
of agriculture.
"The Secretary had," continued Mr.
Vest, "put the Democratic oariy In
antagonism to the great agricultural
interests of the party, although that
party had always stood as the close
friends of agriculture
"The gigantic intellect of this sec
retary of agriculture has daily gone
outside of his legitimate duties and
why did it not discover some of the
really flagrant abuses’.'"
"Till* secretary,” proceeded the Sen
ator. "has assumed to run the entire
government. He ho* keen practically
the secretary of the treasury, flooding
this country with reports and pamph
let* denouncing the silver lunatic* and
upholding the single gold standard.”
Mr. Vest said the Senator from
South Carolina, (Tillman; had been
called u communist because he had
sounded a warning In the Senate, lie
compared this with a New York pub
lication threatening revolution unless
Senators and Representative* yielded
to the gold standard.
"The trouble Is,” said Mr. Vest,
"that the secretary of agriculture In a
monomaniac on the gold standard,
lie sees only gold, gold, red gold, and
Vs as I k I it 1/ u unii ii.nn uu !■/■ /Iona mil sou
as he sees I* u lunatic.”
Mr. Vest closed shortly after 2
o'clock with it remarkably sarcastic
and bitter peroration, lie referred to
the useless seeds, which it was assert
ed the secretary had properly refused
to buy. ‘‘Hut,''added the Senator,
“there was one seed not mentioned.
“it wus,” he proceeded, smiling
maliciously, “the aurefur fetncuiin
canes mortonae, or, in plainer words,
Morton's golden dogweed. This would
flourish while tiie secretary, swinging
his golden censor at the executive
mansion, shouted his holy, holy, art

Lord of Lords."
Mr. Teller, Republican, Col., look

the success of the bond issue. Large
as the offerings were, they would liuve ,
been larger if the secretary of the
treasury had received bids at a fixed
price for the bonds ( iiiiusy and
