WASHINGTON' , D. C. , March 18. "Hot shot
for mugwumps Hoar and Williams shown
\ip Williams' report on stiver coinaeo rid
dled.1' Those were nonio of the words that
Mr. Williams of Massachusetts objected to ,
nnd asked to have stricken from the record us
n part oftho speech ol Mr. Walk-rot Massa
chusetts , which had not boon delivered bv
that gentleman In the bouse. Mr. Williams
charactorl/cd the language as ungentlemanly -
manly , unmanly , uapnillnmcntary und
offensive In thu extreme. Ho considered nn
nlUck upon Ibo mugwumps ns n personal
nttack , for bo had been ono. In the campaign
of 1831 bis eolloaiuo had boon ono of the
greatest mugwumps of the day , but now ho
hated the mugwumps worse than ho did the
devil.
The house , nllor Iho consideration of rou
tine bualncis , proceeded to the consideration
of the private calendar.
On resolution nt Mr. Bushnell of Wiscon
sin a resolution WAS ndoplcd calling on the
secretary of war nnd attorney cencrnl for
information relating to ccvernmont dams on
the Mississippi river between tbo mouth ot
the Chlppowa river In Wisconsin nnd West
Newton slough , Minnesota.
"Mr. Williams lilies Ion Point of Order.
Mr. Williams of Massachusetts , rising to n
question of privilege , moved to strike from
the record that porlinn of that speech of Mr.
Walker of Massachusetts , printed on Tues
day last , which had not boon delivered by
him. Thcro seemed to be , said Mr. Williams ,
u constant complaint on the part of demo
cratic representatives irom Massachusetts
against their republican colleagues. Ho
xvould not complain in this matter were not
tbo public utterances ot n personal and In-
Bulling nature , such as ho th night seldom
appeared In the records of congress.
Tbo speech which the gentleman had printed
made n gross attack on the class of men
who were denominated "mugwump' ! , " and
on the New England delegation. After the
gentleman from Massachusetts had said that
he would print tbo rest of his lomarka , there
appeared : i sub-beading inserted by the
gentleman himself : "Hot Shot for Mug
wumps Hoar nnd Williams Showed Up
"Williams' Report on Silver Coinage
Hlddlcd , " [ [ .auditor. ] His ( Williams ) in
quiry was u proper one , whether Iho rules
permitted a congressman to edit bis speeches
In the Kccord. or have Iho rtisults ns ho saw
them tn his own mind blazoned to Mm world.
It was the business of the committee on
printing to see that such matter was not In
jected uy gentleman who printed speeches
they novur had uttered.
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee ( chairman of
tbo committee on pniillng ) , said thut the
committee had no aulhorliy over the subject.
Mr. Walker said that the headlines to
which the gentleman objected bad been
printed by mistake.
Mr. Williams said that it was not his pur
pose to do anything moro than to call the at
tention of the committee on printing to such
methods nnd to nsk to see that no such thing
should happen in iho future.
Unpardonable mill onViiHlir I
Mr. Uichordson said that it was not in the
power of the committee to prevent tbo ecu
llemnn from Massachusetts from making
headlines and captions en the various phrases
of his speech.
Mr. Williams called attention to the Ian-
guago which seemed to him to bo unpardon
able nml offensive in the extron.0 ; words
that wcro not uttered in the heat of debate ,
but were printed without provocation ; words
uttered only in printing and not in any other
fashion. The privilosoof printingunutlorod
speeches in the records wna never intended
to glvo tbo power of personal insult. If
proper under tto rules , tbo exorcise of that
power was not gentlemanly and not parlia
mentary.
Mr. Williams , quoting from Mr. Walker's
Fiicccb , objected to that gentleman's declara
tion that tbo mugwumps in the United
States had their scats "by gross deception
and moral fraud. " These were at best un
manly words , but coming hero under the
color of having been spoken , they v.ero the
more serious. The contlfinan Irom Worces
ter bad quoted from the Sermon on the
Mount. For a rock-fall and sky-piercing
monument of blasphemy commend him to the
words in which that gentleman compares nn
attack upon a follow meinler to the rebuke
of the Savior of men to tlio Scribes nnd
Pharisees.
Mr. Loud , California-Do you consider au
nttack upon the mugwumns us a personal at
tack J
Mr. Williams Yes , I do ; because I have
been there.
Onolecl the Scriptures at Him.
Continuing. Mr. Williams said that In ISSt
ho bad done himself the honor of breaking
nway from the republican party. | Demo-
rootle npnlauso.J In that campaign ouo of
the most dinic'tilt tasks tin * executive cora-
initteo had was to curb and check the ardor
und ? cal of the gentleman from Maascuhu-
betts ( Mr. Walker ) , who now mndo this at-
tuck upon ills former associates. [ Applause. |
In 1SSI there had not been n greater mug
wump than the gentleman from Worcester.
And now ho hated tha mugwumps wowo than
ho did the devil. ( Lauglitrr.J Ho com
mended to the gentleman the sermon to
which ho had referred in his speech : "Woo
unto you , Scribes and Pharisees ; hypocrites ,
for yo compass sea nnd lund to make ono
pioiclytc ; and when ho Is msdc , yo innko
him two-fold moro tbo child of hull ttn.n
yourselves , ( Loud and long continued
laughter. )
Mr. Walker said that It was evident to the
IIOLBO for what purpose the gentleman from
Massachusetts ( Mr. Williams ) bad arisen ,
ILnuuhtor.j Ho hud nrlson ( us ho bud arisen
in legislative bodies at home ) for the purpose
of exhibiting himself. The Ida i of reading n
bible to n democratic house [ laughter ] and
thu gentleman had to read it ; ho could not
repeal it. It was somelhlnt : so fresh antl so
now nnd so surprlsinr that the democrats
had cheered him to the echo. ( Laughter. ]
It bad raised far more enthusiasm than tha
gentleman could Inspire bv any remarks of
bis own. Tlio headlines to his speech ( to
which the gentleman had alluded ) had nut
been written In his manuscript and ho was
surprised when ho saw them In the record ,
Ho had iiot written them.
lit ) Wrotu Ills O n Hpreehen.
Mr. ( Vain of Texas Who writes your
speeches ! | Laughter. ]
Mr. ItichariUon of Tennessee Inquired
whether the gentleman meant to suv that
uflur his speech passed from his hands the
ofllcial luportor Inserted the words or that
they were Inserted at tbo government print-
lug ofllco.
Mr. Walker If the gentleman gives un
boislng the house mid everybody else , 1 will
uttcnd to my business. ( Daughter. )
Continuing , Mr. U'ulkur bald.that ho had
hud several copies cf his spei-ch and his clerk
had put tbo head lines to one of them. By
uu accident , which was liable lo happen to
any one , thut copy bad been sent to the print.
Ing ofllro. In rcspousn to the gentleman from
Texas ho would say that tbo neiitloman whc
wrote his speech was Mr. Walker of Wor
raster. | l.augbter.J Ho agreed that the
headlines should bo taken out.
The matter was ilnally referred to the
comulltoa on printing for Investigation anil

prepared n letter for the Associated press in
which ho positively declined to oo n candi
date. After writing It , however , the story
went , ho was persuaded to destroy It.
"Why , " said , tbo cx-pnuldcnt , "I never
dreamed of writing such n letter. So tboy
say Mrs. Cleveland induced ma to suppress a
letter that was never written ? Tbo silly
story Is absurd , for the main fact that Mrs.

"Tho only letter I have written of Into was
the ono to General Bragg and that was writ

gram to Tin : UKE.J Today the Yocum mur
der trial was iho center of nttriicllon In
Hastings. The district court room was not
largo enough to hold the crowd who fought
nnd struggled arounu the door for entrance.
The witnesses for the stale and defense were
separated and kept In scp.irato rooms until
wanted on the witness stand. At 0:45
County Attorney Hoepner began the opening
statement for the prosecution. His state
ment was brief nnd dealt with the bare facts
of the killing.
After reading the information to the jury
ho said that the stale would attempt to show
that on February 'J'J , lost , Captain A. U.
Yocum took the life of Myron Van Fleet in a
premeditated und malicious manner. They
expected to show that ho admitted commit
ting the crlmo afterwards. Further they
would prove that ho miulo n threat previous
to the shooting that ho would kill Van Fleet
before sun down. This would prove their
allegations of murder.
Generate. .1. Ullworiti opened for the de
fense. Ho showed that the charge of murder
in tha llrst dcerco comprised manslaughter
and murder In the second degree , both peni
tentiary offenses. Ho says n person has a
right to slay a transgressor on his properly ,
nn assailant or who attacks the honor of his
family. Van Fleet had slanderoJ Yocum's
family ; Yocum hoard of It and the next day
slow Van Fleet.
Tbo testimony of the witnesses agreed
with tbo statement published in Tin : Ur.i : at
the tlmo of the trugcdv. Condensed , it
showed that Yocum nud Teenier hud boon to
gether on the afternoon of the Iragody , and
together wont into Fred Muchow's saloon.
Yocum took a drjnk of whisky , but Jolt
Teenier refused to drink. Tuoy then went up
to T. C. Hurst's drug store , whore Yocum was
overheard to say bo would kill Van Fleet
before sundown. Yocum aud Teenier went
out and the two walked up nnd down the
street past Van Fleet's ofllco for half an
hour. Then Van Fleet starled toward homo ,
but stopped at a clear store and began talkIng -
Ing lo a couple of acquaintances. Yocam
followed and when directly opposilo the cigar
store turned and , pulling u revolver from his
overcoat pocket , llred four shots nt Van
Fl. > ot.
Van Fleet ran Into the Hotel Bostwick , a
few doors away , and Yocum followed him
down. A policeman arrested Yooum nnd
heard htm say that ho ban done the shooting.
Van Fleet was laken homo and died thera
from hemorrhage a few minutes later. After
establishing these facts tlu > state rested Its
case.
case.Tho attorneys for tbn defense did but llttlo
cross-examining and wcro not inclined to dis-
nuto tbc facts as given. They called but one
witness today , Colonel Isaac Lo Doyt , who
toilified that bo bad seen Yocum going past
tun ttostwicic at various limes.
As the prosecution closed its case much
sooner than expected , the defense , did not
have Its witnesses present to go , upon the
stand this afternoon. An adjournment Wus
tukcn until tomorrow.
During the progress of the trial the women
have been In the minority among the specta
tors. Of the 03U present this afternoon not
moro than twelve were ladies.
The jury in tins case is ns intelligent n
body as ono could wish. All are listening
very attentively to the testimony and some
are taking notes of the principal points. So
far nil has boon plain sailing , but when the
time for testimony in rebuttal comes the
most interesting part of Iho casa will be
manifest.
