It had been his purpose , ho said , tu it me nfferoJ the same Cuban bclllKCicncy resolution as an amendment.

" "It seems , " ho added Ironically , "to bo our loftiest Uuty to observe the petty shifting rules of the bouse , no matter uhe.ro they lead , or what the exigencies of the time de mand. " Again Mr , Hltt protested that the debate was not on the question before the house , and again the minority Jeered.

Mr. Henderson ( rep. , la. ) , a member o' the rules committee , answered with spirit ami much evidence of feeling. Ho said the MUsourl member ( DeAimoml ) nas agalu lei-tuilng the house. He was Interrupted by Mr. DaArmoad , and the colloquy was fast.Vhen at ono point Mr. DcArmond got a round of applause , Mr. Hpndcreon exclulmeil , "It Is jour political buncombe that you are app'audlng.

" A brief clash occurred between Mr. Ilalley and Mr , Dlngley on the procedure in tbe present case. Mr. Lowli ( doia. , Waeh. ) ave a breathing spell by maklnc ; a long speech on precedents favorable to the Cuban amendment. The Cuban theme temporarll > disappeared , and Mr. Cannon arJ othois dLscucacd the parliamentary status.

Tlio rules were for , the protection of the minority. Mr. Fleming ( dcm. , Ga ) declared that whllo he was In favor of acknowledging the Independence of Cuba , he had sworn to sup port the rules of the IIOUBO and he could 1 not bring himself to vote to overthrow them. Theao remarks earned for him several lounda of applause from the republican eldc. Immediately a break occurred In the re publican ranks when Mr. Colson ( rep. , Ky. ) denounced the Inaction of the house on the Cuban question and applause was trans ferred to the democratic side. This was auoitllvcd , however , ta Mr. Colion con cluded his remarks by declaring th'at he should vote to uphold the decision of the chair. "Hut I warn my republican friends , " ' ha added , "that wo ha\o delayed too long 1 the recognition of the Insurgents If wo do not act , wo will bo swept out of power ; ! and It wo are not given the opportunity to I ert.

( Special Telegram - gram ) Some jears ago the Interior depart ment discovered that the Homestako Mining company of the IJIack Hills had beeci raidIng - Ing government timber. A special Inspector and other officials were sent out to Investi gate , nnd the result was that a bill aggre gating eomo $500,000 er $000.000 was bub- mlttod to tills successful corporation and settlement asked. The company objected strenuously to pajing any such sum , and. In fact , the claim was made that there wns 113 Indebtedness ta the government. The recite ? diuggcd along , but at last a clay for bringing the case Into court was finally fixed , and February 1 , 18DS , was named as ttat day. It Is said at the Interior depart ment that a conviction is so conclusive that unless the Jury Is tampered with thcie must bo a verdict in favor or the United States. Ex-Senator Moody of South Dakota Is at torney for the Homestako company. Ho ar- ilved in the city rjomo days ago and regis tered at the nbbitt house , and alongside his name Is that ot Superintendent Grlcr of the Homestako mine.

They have offered a very large sum to settle the dispute concerning the timber alleged to have been taken from government lands.

The general lenor of Ihe dls- tisslon was along Iho same lines as lhat ) f a week ago , the republicans contending : hat the resolution was useless and would ) e devoid of results , and the democrats and heir allies taking the opposite position. The epubllcans especially deprecated the aglta- lou of the financial question nl Iho present line , saying there was no effort and likely o bo none to pass a general financial ncasuro through the senate committing Ihe louniry moro deflnlluly to the gold Eland- ird. ird.To To this the democrats replied by citing ho cffortt , of Secretary Gage and ex-Senator MmuncUs to have congress tale ; up Iho qucj.

KOH Ill.MC CHICHI.VTIOX. tlio Monetary Coiiiinlinlnii Currriii-y Hill. WASHINGTON , Jan. IS. Secretary Gage proceeded today with the currency hearing before the house committee on banking and currency. Toda's hearing took n general range wllh n. vlow to developing Mr , Gage's views on general financial qucatlota , and hlj Judgment on various measures , Including his one ! , for currency revision. Chairman Walker In a series of questions sought to show that the guaranty required lu the Qago bill and the monetary hill on unsecured cir culation was too great , thus Impeding an onerous burden en the banks far beyond the losses which experience had shown would occur. Mr. Gage Mid that the oifety fund In his bill was placed at a point which ho regarded sate , and If found lee high It could bo reduced. Hx-Secrelary Falrchlld ealil In a step of this character It had been deemed brut to make the guaranty too greaUralhor than too little. Mr. Gage elated kr this connection his ob jection to the plan of Imposing mutual re sponsibility on all banks as propeoad In the monolary commission bill. It would bo an unfortunate requirement , he felt , as U would operate to keep desirable baks from enter ing the system , and Imposing on themselves respceslblllty for outside banks. The banker , as n rule , did not want to be responslb'.o for IOUSM other than his own. Whether the guaranty was lo be by a 2 per cert tax on tanks , as ho provided , or by a mutual guar anty from all LanKs , as Iho commission pro- \lded , or some other adequate plan , Mr. Gage oalil ho was willing to concede this de tail oo long as some safe security for the redemption of the hank notes was provided The commltleo occupied the afternoon going over the Walker currency bill. Chair man Walker sought to show that of the currency bills pending his stood the bent chance of passage , that It vvaa least ob jectionable because , while accomplishing similar icsults , It did not Haunt before the minority Inlcrests Iho direct preamble declarations to the gold unit standard. It would , ho said , absolutely relieve the gov ernment of having anything to do wllh the cuircut tcdcmpllon of money of any nalure , and from keeping anything except an or dinary exchequer balance aa In n private establishment. Secretary Gage referring to the fitcitemcn of put poses in the Gage bill as to "fixlni the gold standard more firmly , " briefly ex plained why It was best to Incorporate tha declaration. The obligations of the Unltei States , ho said , are payable In coin. Then Is a deep dispute ns to what that moans On the ono side of congress It Ls said tin government can pay In silver ; the othe ; sava gold only , otherwise the govornmen Is guilty of bad faith and dishonesty oa t ( obllgallons. So long as there Is doubt then will bo a constant prcssuio to open the waj for the payments In silver , and the conton tlon was that hotter assurance of maintain Ing the gold btandard than now exist fihouli bo given the country. So , the sccrcUrj thought , It was tlio wisest plan to make th < positive and unequivocal declaration as t ( the purposes of the bill. Secretary Gage and ex-Secretary Fair child will be before the committee ngali : tomorrow. MniyriNf ! OK nnuvrALi.K ; I'MO.Y 12-voontlrr. Committee Tr > inirIiiK tu ( -Irruln < < > I.Hornlnre.
