HE HEADS SPKAK.KKltEED A LESSON STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER. A Stormy Day in the House of Represen-tatives— Mr. Springer Joins Mr. Mills But They are Downed by the Re-publican Majority—Letter From Mr. Blaine. Fifty-First Congress. HOUSE. Washington, June 19.—The journal having been read, Mr. Mills of Texas, objected to its approval on the ground that the clerk had not read it in full. The speaker suggested that the clerk had only omitted to read such portions as is customary not to read, but lie ordered the full reading of the journal. The clerk, proceeding, read that por-tion of the journal which discloses the reference of the silver bill to the com-rnittee on coinage, weights and measures. During the reading Messrs. Mills and McKinley remained standing anxious to claim recognition. The latter was sue-cessful and he moved that the iournal be approved and demanded the previous question, despite Mr. Mills’ protest that he was entitled to recognition to move to correct the journal. Mr. Springer rising to a question of order raised the point that the journal contained a record of something which had never happened and which should not be in the journal. The speaker replied that was for the house to decide, and directed the clerk to call the roll. The clerk proceeded with this duty while Mr. Springer, amid the applause of his side, protested against the ruling. To the speaker he said : “You can ignore the rights of the representatives of the people, but the people will pull you down at the polls next November and your party with you.” But the speaker was importunable and the roll call con-tinued. The house refused to order the previous question—yeas, 106; nays, 117. The following Republicans voted with the Democrats in the negative: Messrs. Bartine, Delhaven, Kelly, Kerr of Iowa, Lindsay, Morrow and Townsend of Colo-rado. When the loud Democratic applause ceased Mr. Mills was recognized by the speaker. He offered a resolution recit-ing that the order of the reference made by the speaker, referring the silver bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measures was incorrect, under the rules of the house, and was made with-out authority under the rules, and re-solving that the journal be corrected by striking therefrom this entry. Mr. Cannon of Illinois raised a point of order against the resolution; it pur-ported to strike out an entry in the jour-nal which recorded a question oi fact; it was not in order for the reason that, if adopted, it would have the effect of changing the reference of a bill, with senate amendments, otherwise than was provided by the rules of the house. He proceeded to argue that the senate amendments would require to be con-sidered in committee of the whole, that being so, it was the duty of the speaker to refer it to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. The resolution sought to change something that was in the journal, which recorded a reference of a bi’l to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. Under the rules he knew that there was an interest in this.legislation and it was an important matter, he knew that the gentleman de-sired to consider it and it ought to be considered, but no man on the floor of this house, whatever his views might be touching the merits of this legislation, could consistently, with his own con-science, and in the face of the country, vote to strike out the recital of the fact and by this left-handed ex-parliamen-tary method, take from the committee, a bill which under the rules belonged to it Mr. Mills of Texas characterized Mr. Cannon’s position as the boldest, most reckless and absurd position he had ever heard maintained in a legislative body. It showed only that a bright,well stored, well disciplined m’nd might become clouded by starting out in error and con-tinuing in that course. “Vice is a monster of such hideous mien Needs to be hated, but to be seen; Seen too oft’, familiar with his face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” I [Laughter.] The gentleman and his party had started out at the beginning of the session by asserting to the coun-try, by a code of rules,that no one man or triumvirate could control the action of the representatives of 60,000,000 people. Under the constitution the journal was to be kept by the house, not by the speaker or his clerks. He was astonished while the gentleman was pursuing bis argument that the speaker hadn’t told him, as he had the other gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Springer, that this was a question for the house to determine. He charged the Republican party with being false to its pledges on the matter of sil-ver. The Democratic party would give the people free and unlimited coinage of silver, the people will ask the Republi-cans why they did not fulfill their prom-iaes. Mr. Peters of Kansas, though declar-iflg himself a free coinage man, sustained the speaker’s action contending, that uu-der the rules it was the speaker’s duty to refer the bill as he had done. Mr. Biggs of California put an inter-rogatory with such vehemence as to drafT forth the laughter of the house. While Mr. Biggs was totally oblivious -to the speaker’s gavel he continued to put his question. Finally the speaker asked stern]}' “will the gentleman from Californt i be in order?” “I will” replied Mr. Biggs in a meek and pleasant voice which again gave rise to merriment. Mr. Crisp of Georgia submitted an ar-gument to show that under the rules the speaker had not the power to refer the bill as he.had done. In the course of his remarks he referred to a decision made by the speaker in regard to the Washington postolfice bill, which he held was totally in variance with the present decision. Mr. Butterworth controverted the con-struction put upon the decision by Mr. Crisp. He said if he had so construed the speaker’s decision he would have voted to overrule it. Mr. Crisp suggested that if the gentle-man had done that it would have been the first time he had ever voted to over-rule the chair. Mr. Butterworth remarked smilingly that the chair was always right. Mr. Crisp disclaimed any discourtesy in drawing a simile between the gentle-man’s remarks and the remark of a Hindoo when he approached his hideous god: “I know that he is ugly, but I feel that he is great.” Mr. Thomas’ sally gave rise to heavy laughter in which the speaker joined, though in a moment he rose and dryly said: “The chair hopes that personal matters will not be introduced into this discussion.” [Laughter.] Mr. Springer of Illinois contended for the right of the house to revise its jour-nal and make it show that the ma-jority of the house decided that it should show the pumose of offering the bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measuies was to prevent the house from voting on the question of concur-rence in the senate amendments. The rules, which it was claimed were in-tended to allow a majority to do busi-ness and produce results, were now prostituted to base purpose of gagging the minority of the honse Mr. Bland of Missouri held that there was no other course open but to strike erroneous reference of the hill from the journal that would place the bill on the speakers table again and allow the house to get at it. Mr. Butterworth of Ohio said that the time had not come when the Republican party was willing to abdicate its control over the business of the house. The question would be put next fall, not in time to affect this question. Mr. McMillan of Tennessee—But it will be in time for this question to af-feet it. Mr. Butterworth sjid the pending proposition looked to a correction of the record by striking out a part which the resolution itself said constituted a part of the proceedings. It sought to unhorse the Republican majority of the house and put the Democratic minority in the saddle. The Republicans should not abdicate iu favor of the Democrats until at least they should determine they were unable to conduct the Dusiness of the majority. [Republican applause.] Mr. Anderson of Kansas, while declar-ing himself an earnest advocate of free coinage, maintained the correctness of the speaker’s ruling, but he wanted to ask the ( hairman of the committee on 'coinage, weights and measures whether that committee would give the house a chance to vote upon the measure. Mr. Conger replied that as far as he was personally concerned he would make every effort to secure legislation on this subject. Mr. Anderson—Then I am satisfied. Mr. Crisp suggested that the commit-tee on rules might have something to say on the subject. Mr. Anderson retorted that the mem-bers of that committee were as devoted to the interests of the people as the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. Crisp reminded the gentleman that the committee had refused to per-mit the house to vote on the free coin-age of silver. Mr. Williams of Illinois, remarked that the majority of the committee on coinage weights and measures was op-posed to free coinage. Was the gentle-man from Kansas willing to Bend the bill to that committee? Mr. Anderson suggested that the bill was there now and it couldn’t be pre-vented. Mr. Cannon—The majority can do anything it wants. [Decisive laughter on the Democratic side.] After further spicy debate the speaker overruled the point of order and Bubmit-ted the question to the house. Mr. Cannon moved to table Mr. Mills’ resolution. On standing vote this was carried, but on the vote by the tellers the motion to table was lost—yeas, 118; nays, 123. The question then recurred on Mr. Mills’ resolution and was agreed to— yeas, 121; nays, 117. At the conclusion of the roll call the vote stood yeas, 119; nays, 117. A change' of one would be necessary to de-feat thp resolution by a tie vote and that change was made by Mr. Funston of Kansas, amid derisive jeers of the Demoirats. This left the vote—yeas, 118; nays, 118. But the change proved unavailing. Messrs. Abbott of Texas and Bullock of Florida, whose names were not recorded, stated they had voted in the affirmative and the .speaker ac-cepting their statement, the vote stood —yeas, 120; nays, 118. Mr. McKinley then arose and amid Democratic laughter changed his vote to the affirmative and the vote was finally announced—yeas, 121; nays, 117.. Mr. McKinley was then recognized to move reconsideration and also to move an adjournment. Mr. Mills managed to sandwich in a motion to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. On the motion to lay Mr. Mills’ reso-lution on the table the following Re-publican voted with the Democrats in the negative: Messrs. Bartine, Carter, De Haven, Ewart, Kelly, Morrow and Townsend of Colorado. On the resolu-tion itself, Mr. Ewart did not vote, the other gentlemen mentioned voted with the Democrats in the affiirmative, but only for the purpose of moving a recon-sideration. The motion to adjourn was lost— yeas, 119; nays 120. The vote recurring on Mr. Mills’ mo-tion to table the motion to reconsider was agreed to—yeas, 121; nays, 114. Mr. Mills then moved the approval of the journal as amended, asking to with-draw the preamble which recites that order of reference made by the speaker referring the silver bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measures was incorrect under the rules of the house and without authority under said rules. Mr. McKinley objected and the question recurred on the adoption of the preamble. It was lost—yeas, 109; nays, 121. (Republican applause.) Mr. Springer moved the approval of the journal as amended, pending which the house adjourned. General News. ‘ A LETTER FROM BLAINE.

The International Prisons Congress—To Complete the Fanama Canal—Stanley Compliments Lord Salisbury— The Germans are More Than Satisfied. ENGLAND. THE ATTACK CONTINUES. | London, June 19.—The.Chronicle con- I tinues its attack upon Lord Salisbury’s | agreement with Germany with unabated I violence, and frantically calls upon the j parties of the opposition in parliameBiidH to combine and secure its rejection. the premier’s humiliating surrender to* Germany, The Chronicle foresees the plain defeat of the ministry and dissolu-tion of parliament, and predicts that the . verdict of the appeal to the country will be so sweeping a condemnation of the agreement as to deter future govern-meats from trifling with the prestieo and honor of Great Britain, and the reckless throwing away of her territory. STANLEY COMPLIMENTING SALISBURY. London, June 19.—H. M. Stanley was presented with an address at Berwick to-day. In reply he spoke in the most en-thusiastic terms of the wisdom of Lord Salisbury, as shown in the settlement with Germany, of the African question. By the agreement between the two coun-tries 50,000 square miles of territory were added to British possessions, in Africa. Instead of a dolorus tirade against the prime minister Stanley said now is the time to sing a p;ean in his honor. It is now possible to realize the great dream of those who are con-cerned in the exploration and civiliza-tion of Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo. In conclusion, Stanley said that God gave Lord Salisbury wis-dom to gain this end and expressed the hope that the prime minister long might live and flourish. WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE. London, June 19.—A dispatch from, the Times’ correspondsnt at Boi says it would be an international misfortune if the current of Germany thankfulness toward England should be converted into a less fraternal feeling by the rejec-tion by the British parliament of the bill for the concession of Heligoland to Germany in return for territorial con-cessions in Africa made by Germany to England. The Germans are delighted beyond measure with the successful ter-mination of the Anglo-German negotia-tions regarding the African territory. RUSSIA. THE INTERNATIONAL PRISONS CONGRESS. St. Petersburg, June 19.—The international prisons congress, now in session in this city, has adopted resolu-tions declaring, first, that in the future treaties between nations generally, the principle of extraditions should be recognized and an agreement arrived at as to the nature of cases to be deemell exceptions to the rules. Second, that international associations should be formed to assist discharged prisoners and their families. Third, that action of charitable bodies, both punitive and preventive, should be brought into general agreement. • Fourth, that inebriety accompanied by disorderly conduct should be punishable, that sellers of alcohols should be responsible for crimes resulting from their serving drunken men and that the sale of liquors on credit or to children should be pro-hibited. Mr. Randall of Michigan will address the congress on the subject of “young offenders.” FANANIA. TO COMPLETE THE CANAL. Panama, June 19.—Lieut.

A Stormy Day in the House of Represen-tatives— Mr. Springer Joins Mr. Mills But They are Downed by the Re-publican Majority—Letter From Mr. Blaine. Fifty-First Congress. HOUSE.

Mr. Cannon of Illinois raised a point of order against the resolution; it pur-ported to strike out an entry in the jour-nal which recorded a question oi fact; it was not in order for the reason that, if adopted, it would have the effect of changing the reference of a bill, with senate amendments, otherwise than was provided by the rules of the house. He proceeded to argue that the senate amendments would require to be con-sidered in committee of the whole, that being so, it was the duty of the speaker to refer it to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. The resolution sought to change something that was in the journal, which recorded a reference of a bi’l to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. Under the rules he knew that there was an interest in this.legislation and it was an important matter, he knew that the gentleman de-sired to consider it and it ought to be considered, but no man on the floor of this house, whatever his views might be touching the merits of this legislation, could consistently, with his own con-science, and in the face of the country, vote to strike out the recital of the fact and by this left-handed ex-parliamen-tary method, take from the committee, a bill which under the rules belonged to it Mr. Mills of Texas characterized Mr. Cannon’s position as the boldest, most reckless and absurd position he had ever heard maintained in a legislative body. It showed only that a bright,well stored, well disciplined m’nd might become clouded by starting out in error and con-tinuing in that course. “Vice is a monster of such hideous mien Needs to be hated, but to be seen; Seen too oft’, familiar with his face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” I [Laughter.] The gentleman and his party had started out at the beginning of the session by asserting to the coun-try, by a code of rules,that no one man or triumvirate could control the action of the representatives of 60,000,000 people. Under the constitution the journal was to be kept by the house, not by the speaker or his clerks. He was astonished while the gentleman was pursuing bis argument that the speaker hadn’t told him, as he had the other gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Springer, that this was a question for the house to determine. He charged the Republican party with being false to its pledges on the matter of sil-ver. The Democratic party would give the people free and unlimited coinage of silver, the people will ask the Republi-cans why they did not fulfill their prom-iaes. Mr. Peters of Kansas, though declar-iflg himself a free coinage man, sustained the speaker’s action contending, that uu-der the rules it was the speaker’s duty to refer the bill as he had done. Mr. Biggs of California put an inter-rogatory with such vehemence as to drafT forth the laughter of the house. While Mr. Biggs was totally oblivious -to the speaker’s gavel he continued to put his question. Finally the speaker asked stern]}' “will the gentleman from Californt i be in order?” “I will” replied Mr. Biggs in a meek and pleasant voice which again gave rise to merriment. Mr. Crisp of Georgia submitted an ar-gument to show that under the rules the speaker had not the power to refer the bill as he.had done. In the course of his remarks he referred to a decision made by the speaker in regard to the Washington postolfice bill, which he held was totally in variance with the present decision. Mr. Butterworth controverted the con-struction put upon the decision by Mr. Crisp. He said if he had so construed the speaker’s decision he would have voted to overrule it. Mr. Crisp suggested that if the gentle-man had done that it would have been the first time he had ever voted to over-rule the chair. Mr. Butterworth remarked smilingly that the chair was always right. Mr. Crisp disclaimed any discourtesy in drawing a simile between the gentle-man’s remarks and the remark of a Hindoo when he approached his hideous god: “I know that he is ugly, but I feel that he is great.” Mr. Thomas’ sally gave rise to heavy laughter in which the speaker joined, though in a moment he rose and dryly said: “The chair hopes that personal matters will not be introduced into this discussion.” [Laughter.] Mr. Springer of Illinois contended for the right of the house to revise its jour-nal and make it show that the ma-jority of the house decided that it should show the pumose of offering the bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measuies was to prevent the house from voting on the question of concur-rence in the senate amendments. The rules, which it was claimed were in-tended to allow a majority to do busi-ness and produce results, were now prostituted to base purpose of gagging the minority of the honse Mr. Bland of Missouri held that there was no other course open but to strike erroneous reference of the hill from the journal that would place the bill on the speakers table again and allow the house to get at it. Mr. Butterworth of Ohio said that the time had not come when the Republican party was willing to abdicate its control over the business of the house. The question would be put next fall, not in time to affect this question. Mr. McMillan of Tennessee—But it will be in time for this question to af-feet it. Mr. Butterworth sjid the pending proposition looked to a correction of the record by striking out a part which the resolution itself said constituted a part of the proceedings. It sought to unhorse the Republican majority of the house and put the Democratic minority in the saddle. The Republicans should not abdicate iu favor of the Democrats until at least they should determine they were unable to conduct the Dusiness of the majority. [Republican applause.] Mr. Anderson of Kansas, while declar-ing himself an earnest advocate of free coinage, maintained the correctness of the speaker’s ruling, but he wanted to ask the ( hairman of the committee on 'coinage, weights and measures whether that committee would give the house a chance to vote upon the measure. Mr. Conger replied that as far as he was personally concerned he would make every effort to secure legislation on this subject. Mr. Anderson—Then I am satisfied. Mr. Crisp suggested that the commit-tee on rules might have something to say on the subject. Mr. Anderson retorted that the mem-bers of that committee were as devoted to the interests of the people as the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. Crisp reminded the gentleman that the committee had refused to per-mit the house to vote on the free coin-age of silver. Mr. Williams of Illinois, remarked that the majority of the committee on coinage weights and measures was op-posed to free coinage. Was the gentle-man from Kansas willing to Bend the bill to that committee? Mr. Anderson suggested that the bill was there now and it couldn’t be pre-vented. Mr. Cannon—The majority can do anything it wants. [Decisive laughter on the Democratic side.] After further spicy debate the speaker overruled the point of order and Bubmit-ted the question to the house. Mr. Cannon moved to table Mr. Mills’ resolution. On standing vote this was carried, but on the vote by the tellers the motion to table was lost—yeas, 118; nays, 123. The question then recurred on Mr. Mills’ resolution and was agreed to— yeas, 121; nays, 117. At the conclusion of the roll call the vote stood yeas, 119; nays, 117. A change' of one would be necessary to de-feat thp resolution by a tie vote and that change was made by Mr. Funston of Kansas, amid derisive jeers of the Demoirats. This left the vote—yeas, 118; nays, 118. But the change proved unavailing. Messrs. Abbott of Texas and Bullock of Florida, whose names were not recorded, stated they had voted in the affirmative and the .speaker ac-cepting their statement, the vote stood —yeas, 120; nays, 118. Mr. McKinley then arose and amid Democratic laughter changed his vote to the affirmative and the vote was finally announced—yeas, 121; nays, 117.. Mr. McKinley was then recognized to move reconsideration and also to move an adjournment. Mr. Mills managed to sandwich in a motion to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. On the motion to lay Mr. Mills’ reso-lution on the table the following Re-publican voted with the Democrats in the negative: Messrs. Bartine, Carter, De Haven, Ewart, Kelly, Morrow and Townsend of Colorado. On the resolu-tion itself, Mr. Ewart did not vote, the other gentlemen mentioned voted with the Democrats in the affiirmative, but only for the purpose of moving a recon-sideration. The motion to adjourn was lost— yeas, 119; nays 120. The vote recurring on Mr. Mills’ mo-tion to table the motion to reconsider was agreed to—yeas, 121; nays, 114. Mr. Mills then moved the approval of the journal as amended, asking to with-draw the preamble which recites that order of reference made by the speaker referring the silver bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measures was incorrect under the rules of the house and without authority under said rules. Mr. McKinley objected and the question recurred on the adoption of the preamble. It was lost—yeas, 109; nays, 121. (Republican applause.) Mr. Springer moved the approval of the journal as amended, pending which the house adjourned. General News. ‘ A LETTER FROM BLAINE.

THE ATTACK CONTINUES. | London, June 19.—The.Chronicle con- I tinues its attack upon Lord Salisbury’s | agreement with Germany with unabated I violence, and frantically calls upon the j parties of the opposition in parliameBiidH to combine and secure its rejection. the premier’s humiliating surrender to* Germany, The Chronicle foresees the plain defeat of the ministry and dissolu-tion of parliament, and predicts that the . verdict of the appeal to the country will be so sweeping a condemnation of the agreement as to deter future govern-meats from trifling with the prestieo and honor of Great Britain, and the reckless throwing away of her territory. STANLEY COMPLIMENTING SALISBURY. London, June 19.—H. M. Stanley was presented with an address at Berwick to-day. In reply he spoke in the most en-thusiastic terms of the wisdom of Lord Salisbury, as shown in the settlement with Germany, of the African question. By the agreement between the two coun-tries 50,000 square miles of territory were added to British possessions, in Africa. Instead of a dolorus tirade against the prime minister Stanley said now is the time to sing a p;ean in his honor. It is now possible to realize the great dream of those who are con-cerned in the exploration and civiliza-tion of Africa from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo. In conclusion, Stanley said that God gave Lord Salisbury wis-dom to gain this end and expressed the hope that the prime minister long might live and flourish. WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE. London, June 19.—A dispatch from, the Times’ correspondsnt at Boi says it would be an international misfortune if the current of Germany thankfulness toward England should be converted into a less fraternal feeling by the rejec-tion by the British parliament of the bill for the concession of Heligoland to Germany in return for territorial con-cessions in Africa made by Germany to England. The Germans are delighted beyond measure with the successful ter-mination of the Anglo-German negotia-tions regarding the African territory. RUSSIA. THE INTERNATIONAL PRISONS CONGRESS.
