WASHJXOTOX , D. C. , July 20. The sonsn-
tloo"rii'tho hoiiso today was n speech by Mr.
Watson of Ocorgln , leader of the third party
In tha house. Ho reiterated a statement ,
mndo in n campaign document Issued by him ,
that members of the house had reeled druulc
along the aisles nnd hail addressed the chnlr
In n maudliug manner , ills remarks gave
rise to great excitement and Indignation , nud
ho was frequently hissed.
A coinmltteo was appointed to inquire into
the truth of the charge mado. Tlio incident
was 0110 of the most dramatic of the session

At the opening of tbo house Mr.
Wheeler of Alabama took Mr. Wat-
' on of Georgia to task for statin ; ; In a
campaign pamphlet that drunken mem
bers reel through tbo aisles and drunupn
members speak on grave Issues. Watson
declared that every word In the pamphlet
was literally true and ho was ready to de
fend every word. Ho defied the house to
punish him. The Incident created much
excitement , but the members contented
themselves with hissing Mr. Watson.
Great excitement , ensued , the general feel
ing being adverse to Mr. Watson for roller-
nlltig , as ho did , by his declaration , the gen
eral chur.zo of drunkenness made In bis
book.
book.Mr.
Mr. Funston of Kansas protested that the
hissing was n disgrace to the house , when ho
wan waved down by Mr. Watson , who an
nounced his ability to tnlco csro of himself.
Mr. Tracoy of New York.iu u voice replete
with Indignation , called the pentlcman from
Georgia to order. That gentleman had as
serted that every word In the book wus truo.
That book contained a general charge ol
drunkenness against members. Ho called the
gentleman to order fur making such an n -
Eorlioa on tbo Iloor of the house nnd ho de
manded that he tnlce his scat. [ Applauio.J
IU oil l > y the Democrats.
Mr. Watson quietly resumed his scat , but
was subsequently allowed to proceed. Ho
said there was not a clmrgo In a paragraph
in the book that had not boon made from the
press gallery nud circulated through
out the country and now because ho
made It nnd because the ten
members of tbo people's partv were
in the power of a tyrannical majority , ho was
selected as a scapegoat. [ Hisses and con
temptuous laughtoron tbo democraticside. . ]
Oh , oh , " continued Mr. Wnlson , "If you
want to howl mo down , you can do so , nnd I
will nppoul from your tyranny to the fair
sense of justice that abides In the hearts of
the American people. ( Applause of repub
lican side.j
Mr. Watson was called to order nnd the
speaker reminded him that ho was speaking ,
not us a mutter of right , but by grace of the
hOUBO.
Mr. Watson impetuously declared that ho
scorned tbo grace , thut ho wanted no grace ,
' nnd in on Instant the house- was in a state ot
great excitement ,
Mr. Watson , though holding bis oxvn
throughout all the confusion , was immedi
ately respectful and submissive when the
speaker diicctcd him to lake his scat.
Itrilil thu Olijectlonubto rimigritph.
When order was restored , Mr. Watson was
permitted to proceed , which ho did by read
ing tbo opening portion of tuo objection'uolo
paragraph :
"Pledged to reform , they have not re
formed" but ho had gone hut thus far , when
ho.was again called to order by Mr. MrAlillin ,
who insisted thnttho gentleman must explain
the language which was objected to.
Mr. Watson ( complacently reading )
"Pledged to reform , they have notroformcd ;
pledged to economize , they have not econo
mized ; pledged to legislation , tticy have not
legislated "
Mr. McMlllin The gentleman is In flag
rant violation of the rules , but I will not in
sist against his reading the paracrnnh lu tbo
hope that when ho has llnishod ho will come
to the slander ho has perpetrated.
Mr. Watson An eleventh hour conversion
is bettor than no conversion ul nil.
Continuing , Air. Watson said that the only
charge in the paragraph at which democrats
took olfonso was that members potdrunlt at
the bar which the house permitted to be run
In the basement of the cnpltol. They had
planted the tree ; why wonacr nt Its fruit !
"This congress , " hosnid. In conclusion , "can
do what It 11 lies about that paragraph , but I
aland by It as the exact truth , und I defy you
to contradict it. "
Again llUnvil.
As Mr.VaUon sat down , bo was again
Hissed , nnd thuro was considorablu sensation
lu the house , whllo cries of "name your
man , " resounded through the hail , but Mr.
Watson remained impassive and apparently
nu uninterested spectator of the scone which
be had been NO Instrumental in placing on
the legislative stago.
The outcome of the whole innttor'was that
Messrs , lioatncr , Wolverton , ISuchannn of
Virginia , Grout nnd Simpson were appointed
n committee to investigate the chnrgbz.
The remainder of the day was spoilt In
filibustering ever the AVorld's fair amend
ment.
Kecoss was taken , the evening session to
bo for the consideration of private pension
bills.
Vetoed tin ) .Mctiiiirnluiii IIIII ,
The president lias sent a mossaco to con-
gro.sb vetoing the McGarrahnn claim bill.
Mr. McGurrahan , the most famous of lat
ter year congressional claimants , took the
yuio ot tha bill , whuso passage had licon a
Itlo work with him , very philosophically.
Ho was less excited than on the day the bill
passed congress , the president's delay In net-
ing on the bill making him fear u vuto. Ho
ald that It delayed matters throe or four
mouths and that was all , ns ho wa s Hatbllud
congress would pa s the bill uvor the veto.
The oltl vetoed sent the cUlm to the court
or claims for settlement. Ho bat.cs his ob
jection to the bill on the ground that It is so
iraiucd as to give full protection to the Now
Indrn Mining company to the full extent of
lis largest claim , whllo throwing upon the
United .States n responsibility uhlru that
company should bear If the tltlo of Mr.
McOarrauaii is established. Ho says that it
teems clear that Mr. McGarruhan Is not en
tilled to the icllef given by the bill and that
It does not adequately protect the Interests
> f the United States.

Representative. Whlto of lown , n member
ot the committee , prepared n paper to ac
company the views of the majority. In this
report Mr. Whlto says there l < probably no
class of our citizens who nro so thoroughly
handicapped by the protective system In the
prosecution of their business n * Iho farmers
of the Mississippi valley who nro encaged in
the raising of hogs.
Representative Funston of Kansas pre
sented a report containing ttio vlows of tha
minority of the committee. This report says
the fact tbat democrats In the house , having
a majority ever the republicans of 153 , are
about to adjourn without having made any
effort to repeal the McKlnloy tariff law
should BRttlo the question as to whether or
not , in the opinion of the majority of tha
house , the law is wrong and oppressive.
The minority report recites the benefits of
reciprocity .nnd asserts that tbo stntcment
that * farms hnvo shrunk In value is a matter
of mere nssorttop , for which thcrols no data.
Tbo minority savs It hai o.irofully considered
the condition of the farmer under the tariff
laws of ISSU and 1S09 and tluds that no other
ago , lu no other country , and In no other
tlrao in thU country , has there been a law
passed of nn economic character In wnlch
the interests of nny class of persons were
moro carefully guarded than were those of
the farmer lu the tariff law of 1890.

Carlisle Attacks the 1'i-psont TarllT t.iiws
Ably Defended by Republican * .
WASIII.VOTOX , D. C. , July 2 ! ) . Tbo anti-
option bill did not ilguro in the senate pro
ceedings today , but in Its place the Halo
resolution as 10 the relative merits of the
republican policy of "protection" nnd the
democratic policy of "tariff for revenue
only" was taken up and debated the whole
day , The first senator to enter the list und
toke up the gauntlet thrown down by Mr.
Aldrlch some days ago was his collenguo on
the subcommittee of finance , Mr. Carlisle.
The drift of Mr. Carlisle's 'speech , which
wa Cot-tilled by liguros , was thatjtho Mo-
ICInloy tariff net had not ( wUiln the twenty-
seven months covered by the investigation
of the subcommlttu ) reduced the price of
commodities or Increased the wages of labor ,
but had , on the contrary , interfered with
nnd obstructed the operation of the natural
laus governing the subject. Ho instanced
Uflcim general occupations In unprotected
Icdustrics where the nvoragn ralo of wages
bad gene up nnd fifteen other trades , highly
protected industries , where wages had-gono
down.
Ho was followed by Mr. Proctor , who
attacked somoof Mr. Carlisle's propositions
by quotations from an interview with Mr.
Hogors , the managing partner of a
Welsh titi-plato manufactory , the prin
cipal poiut of which was that
tbo election of Mr. Cleveland would
bo a victory for free trado4 und that 1's ef
fect would bo to reduce American wapes to
the level of English wages.
Mr. Sherman and Mr. Allison defended
the McKlnloy act and Mr. Hawley obtained
the floor to carry out the light on that line
tomorrow.
When the tariff debate caased , the antl-
ontion bill was laid before the senate as the
unfinished business and was then laid aside-
informally , when the president's veto to the
bill submitting to tbo court of private land
claims tbo tillo of William .McGurrahan was
read , and Its consideration was postponed
until December next.
CitrllHlu OpniiH tbo Debate.
After some aiOlcully lu obtaining u quorum
and a brief silver speech by Mr. Stewart ,
Mr. Carlisle auureased the senate on Mr.
Halo's resolution as to the relative merits of
"protection'1 and "tariff for rovanuo only , "
und lu response to tbo upcechcs of Messrs.
Halo and Aldrich.
If , said Mr. Carlisle , higher prices wore
injurious to tbo community ut , large , audit
lower prices were beneficial , then evory-
thlng which interfered with und arrested
the nntur.il tendency toward n decline in the
price of commodities and a rise in the wages
of labor , anything that tended to make It
harder and more expensive for tbo masses of
the peoploto live ( whether it were war , post !
Icnce , famlnoora AlcKinley net ) was 11 public
calamity to bo duplored by every man who
loved his country His purpose was ( ho
.said ; to show that Iho tariff net. of IbOJ had
Interfered with the natural tendency to a
decline In the prices of commodities and u
raise in the rules ot wages , mid that it had
made It harder and more exponslvo for the
masses ot the pcnplo of the United States
to live. He- said that fifteen general
occupations in unprotected industries were
bakers , blacksmiths , bricklayers , cabinet
makers , carpenters , common laborers , farm
laborers , machinists , masons , Iroiimotilors ,
painters , plumbers , Mon 'cutters , tailors and
tinsmiths. The avert go Increase of wages
In these occupations during the
period covered by tbo investigation
of the 11 nan co ccmmlttco has been
73-100 of 1 per cent. The fifteen
highly protected occupations were bar-
Iron , hoots nud shoos , cotton goods , cotton
and woollen goods , cruclolo stcnl , flint glass ,
green glass , lumber , machinery , pig iron ,
steel ingots , steel blooms , steel rails , wludow
gl iss nnd woolen goods. In these occupa
tions the rales of wages had fallen ( since the
McKlnloy act ) an average of bO-100 of 1 per
cunt , as against n rise of Tu-100 of 1 per cent
in the unprotected industries.
Mr. Carlisle then wont into a detailed
statement as to the cost of imported glass
and ns to the tin plate. On Iho laltor point
ho said that the McKlnloy act had paid , not
to the Importer , not to the government , not
to the dealers , but dlrcctlv to the \Volbh tinplate
plato manufacturers , fl.WJ.T.VJ , or moro than
half the value of the plant of the COS Uu
plato works of Wales. The McKinley act us
to tin plato had proved to bo , not for the
bciiollt ot tbo American consumers , but
the Welsh manufacturers.
Defended thu Present TillII ) ' .
Mr. Carlisle was followed by Mr. Proctor
and lie by Mr. Sherman In tariff speeches.
He argued that tbo democratic policy of the
present day had departed far from that of
the old parly In the nays of Washington ,
Adams , Jefferson nnd Monroe , which fnvoreti
thu oncour.iiromr.nt of American industry.
Ho commended the results obtained
through the action of .tho McKlnlo.v
act in relation to sugar , tin plato
and other industries , und npolto of
the benefits which the farmers of the
country lud derived from it. Ho bullaved
thut when the question of protection was
dlscusbcd before the people and when the
democratic party had taken its bold position
In fuvor of free trade the judgment of the
people would bo In fivorof the policy of pro
tection us approved by Washington nnd
Adams und JofTcrson und Madison and
Monroe , ns favored'by Jackson , and which Is
only lost sight of In the light of modern dc
mot-racy. The people would stand by thu
old doctrine of their fathers.
After u short speech by Mr. Allison in de
fense ot the McKinley bill Mr. llawlo.v ob
tained the Iloor. The Halo resolution went
over until tomorrow und the null-option bll
was laid before thu senate as the unllnUhci
business. It was laid aside formally , ant
the president's mo sugo voicing ihn McU.tr
ralinn bill was read nnd postponed until the
second Tuesday In December next und the
sunulo adjourned.

WASHINGTON , D , C. , July 20. )
Representative Albert J. Hopkins of
Aurora , III , , is ono of the most progressive
republicans In congress and everybody likes
him. Ho is frank , straightforward nnd
manly. Ho has long known "General"
Adlal Stevenson of Uloomlngton , the vlco
presidential candldato with Cleveland , and
when asked it ho thought Stovonson'n natno
would add strength to the democratic tlckot
In Illinois and make that state doubtful ,
Enid : "Mr. Stevenson is a very pleasant ,
gentleman , but his acquaintance In the state
is not extensive. It is largely local.
Ho served a number of years ago
a term or two la congress without any
special distinction and his only title to fame
If that term can bo useu Is his service us
first assistant postmaster general under
Cleveland , when he decapitated In short
space of time hourly 50,000 republican post
masters. In my judgment his being on the
ticket will not make a difference of fifty
votes in Illinois.
"If Mr. Stevenson had boon a soldier , some
reason would exist for tuo democratic
soldiers In Illinois voting the democratic
national ticket. You can see , however , thut
with n man at the head of the tlckot. who
hired a substitute and vetoed moro pension
bills than all the other occupants of tbo
presidential chair put together , nnd with the
remaining candidate a man who never
served in the war and who was certainly In
sympathy with , If not actually a member of ,
the Knights of the Gol'don Circle , there is no
reason why a single soldier vote In Illinois
should bo given to tbo democratic ticket
next fall. "
Itofnmllnc Money to Wyoming.
Senator Warren has introduced a joint
resolution directing tbo payment to the state
of Wyoming of the unexpended balance of
an appropriation made for the payment ot
the expenses of tbo constitutional'conven
tion , election expenses and so forth in said
state , amounting to 10,000. In the act of
congress admitting Wyoming as a state
there was appropriated $30,000 for defraying
the expenses of n constitutional convention
and for the elections held tnorofor aud there
under. The evident intention ot congress
was to pay for the elections therefor and
thereunder , including the first election
provided for by the constitutional convention.
The Treasury department did not deem the
language sufficiently cl ar to warrant the
payment of any part of this amount for the
elections hold thereunder , and a portion of
this money Is nuw standing to the credit of
Wyoming unused. The joint resolution ,
theiefore , was In order to fully carry out the
original intention of congress , appropriating
to Wyoming $30,000 with which to conduct
the constitutional convention undso forthand
makes the appropriation direct to the , state
to bo distributed pro ratu among the several
counties.

LINCOLN , Nob. , July 29. [ Special to Tun
BER. ] Lincoln republicans are fooling par
ticularly good ever Ibo nomination ot Judge
Allen W. Field for congrots nt Nebrasna
City last ovonlng. The Judge has boon n
resident of Lincoln slnco 1803 , nomine hero
when ho was but 10 years of ago. Hn lived
on a farm In Yankee Hill prJctnot until 1871 ,
when ho entered the llrat class formed
in the "Nebraska State university. Ho
was also a member of the flwt grad
uating class of that institution In
1877. After completing his course nt the
slate university bo entered the law ofllco of
"
J. E. Phllpott , "where ho continued his law
studios for two years , being admitted to the
bar in 1870. Two years later ho was selected
to represent Lancaster c-ounty in tbo state
legislature , and hli record was so goad that
bo was re-elected In 18S3. During his last
term as n member of the legislature ho
served as speaker ot the house , filling that
Important position with credit to blinsulf nud
honor to his constituents.
Judge Field's judicial career dates from
1S77 , when ho was appointed to a position on
thodlstrlot bench by Governor.Thnyer Imme
diately after the judicial ronpportlonmont of
1877. In the fall of 1887 he was elected to
the position wblch ho had been holding
temporarily. Ho has held the position ever
since , having been re-elected in 1S91 by a
largely Increased majority.
As a member of tbo legislature and as a
Judge Mr. Field has always served the
people of his county and district with credit
und ability. His otllclal career has been un
sullied bv charges of corriipliou , prejudice ,
impartiality or favoritism. His personal In-
togrlty is unchallenged anu his private life
has been above suspicion. Moreover , ho is
strong In debate and eloquontund convincing
on the stump. The fact that the two leading
candidates for congress ill tbo First district
are Lincoln citizens , and that both are men
of moio than average ability , gives premise
of an interesting and brilliant campaign upon
tbo merits of tbo two great parties.
liryaii Issue * n Cnallengc.
C. T. Boggs , chairman of the republican
congressional central committee , this after
noon received tha following letter from
Judge Brandy , chairman ot the democratic
congressional commit tee :
'Dear Sir : Thu democratic candidate for

committee for the First district of
think it would bo good , and therefore de
sire , to have a joint discussion of the politi
cal Issues between the democratic and repub
lican candidates for congress in the several
counties ot tbo district before the elec
tion. If your side Is not unfriendly to such
debates by the candidates I wish lo moot
you nnd make the necessary and proper
arrangements thorofor , and invite you to
moot mo for that purpose. This proposition
is made early so as to avoid any possible
embarrassment to you on tbo ground of
previous engagements. "
Inasmuch as Judge Field was nominated
for the purpose of meeting Congressman
Bryan on his favorlto battle ground the
challenge will bo accepted nnd the joint dis-
ousslon commenced as soon as the campaign
properly opens.

CIIICAOO. III. , July ei ) . A scnthlnR rabuko
to tfo chnlrirmn and members of ttio West-
oru Passenger association was administered
this afternoon In a loiter from \V. 1 < \ Whlto ,
passenger trnnio manager of the Atchlson.
Ho accused Chairman Culdwoll nnd nit the
association roads , except tuo A'.chlson , ot
having entered Into nu arrangement with
the Chicago & Alton to offact the reduction
In passenger rntos to western points with
out the interposition of the rnto cotnmltteo
as required by tha association agreement
nud consequently to dopriva the AtchUon ot
its right to a volco as to tha advisability of
making such reductions.
The Atchlson was not represented , or per
mitted to bo represented ; It was arranged
Hint the Cblcpgo & Alton should reduce the
rates , nnd thereupon the chairman was to
use such action as a pretext for granting to
the numiburs of tha association authority to
make similar rates. In granting such
authority , however , the Atchlson was neb
consulted or permitted to be buard. It WAS
deprived of Its rights under the agreement ,
although an attempt was made to hold it to
it * obligations thereunder.
' In pursuance of this Infamous con
spiracy , " continued tlio letter , "tho Chicago
& Alton guvo notice of n reduction as fol
lows:11 : Hero the Eculo Is given , BUowluff
that in addition to the $12 round trip raUs
between Chicago and Dunvor , u ono-way
ruto of the same amount Is made besides a
round trip rate of f8 nnd n single trip of W
to Kansas City and a $5 ruto from SU Louis
to Kansas City.
rolled to Consult the Atchlnon.
It Is claimed that whllo the chairman
authorized the moinbors of the Wostorit
Passenger association to meet these rates ,
ho did not accord the sumo right to the
AtchUon company ns to a portion of thorn.
Mr , Wlitta takes the ground that neither
the association nor its chairman has the
pnwor to authorize the icducod rate In favor
of Homo of the members to the exclusion ot
the roads competing for the same business ,
lie also held that the onu-wny rate is not an *
excursion rate , nnd bolng u reduction the
existing ruto cannut bares tot oJ under the
Interstate commerce act except on giving the
ton days uotico required thereby. Therefore
such a rate must necessarily extend from
the 3d to the 13'.u of August ana is not
legally capable of being conlluoil from
August 3 to 7.
It is claimed , moreover , that n conspiracy
has been entered into for the purpose of in
juring the AtchUon , which Is contrary to
the manifest spirit und purpose of the agree
ment nnd violation of law and morals. On
these grounds , the Atchison company give *
notice of appeal from the action taken In this
mutter by Chairman Caldwoli and by the
association members , and names E. A. Ford ,
general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania
llnoj , ns ono of tbo arbitrators.
Omnha Itntcs.
Chairman Caldwoli ot tha Western Passenger
gor association has declined to authorize the
fit ) rate to Omaha , Council.UtufTi and Sioux
City and return , which was applied for on
account of the Alton's reduction between
Chicago nnd Kansas City. This places the
Chicago , Milwaukee. & St. Paul road at a
disadvantage , as it can't avail itself of the
reduced rutos from western Missouri river
points.
The Chicago & Alton says its reductions
nro mndo on account of the ridiculously low
rate instituted by oi'O ' of its competitors.
