PUTS HOUSE EN TUMULT
He Denounces President's Mes
sage of Sympathy.
MAKES MOTION OF CENSURE
New York Congressman's Sentiments
Repudiated by Southern Demo
crats Naval Appropriation
Bill Is Passed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. .20. A Sensational
digression from the main question was
made in the House.tqday by Ba"kcr of
New 1'ork during the debate on the -naval
appropriation bill. He condemned the ac
tion of President Roosevelt in sending a
message of oondolonce to "Russia express
ing the sontiment that the Government
nd American people viewed the act with
r.bhorrence. The people," he declared, did
view with abhorrence the massacre in St.
Petersburg on January 22, but the Presi
dent, he said, had not seen fit to send a
message of condolence on that occasion,
lie was replied .to by Grosvcnor (Ohio),
who took the ground that, regardless of
the character of the Duke or the question
of the right or, wrong of Russia's policy
toward her subjects, the President, In
pending the message he did, had done ex
actly what civilization recognized as his
duty.
The climax came later in the day, when
Baker read a resolution on the subject.
which he subsequently introduced, and
which In offect was a reiteration of his
remarks previously made, lie explained
that it had been suggested that. In the
event of his offering such a resolution, a
motion would be made to expel him. He
shouted defiance to any member of the
House to make the motion, as he de
posited the resolution and took his seat
amid the confusion which the incident
had created.
Naval Bill Is Passed.
The House passed the naval appropria
tion bill, earning a total of $99,914,353.
The provision for the two battleships as
reported by the committee on naval af
fairs was retained. Both the majority and
minority were badly divided on the propo
sition, at least 40 members of tho 1 at tor
going over to the Republicans, while
about an equal number of Republicans
voted in opposition. Several important
change? in the bill were made. The pro
posed .increase of 1200 men and officers for
the marine corps was stricken out, as was
also -the provision authorizing the con
struction of a collier somewhere else than
at the Mare Island Tavy-ard In Cali
fornia. In order to do the work, better,
an 'item of $175,000 was inserted for the
proper equipment of the Mare Island
yard.
A. resolution providing for early consid
eration of bills allowing homestead en
tries of 640 acres each in Colorado and
South Dakota was the first business in
the House today. It was called up under
suspension of the rules and was opposed
by Maddox (Dem., Ga.), who forced, a
count of the- Houso on a point of no
quorum, and also a debate on the adop
tion pf the. resolution.
After a prolonged discussion the rules
wore suspended and tho resolution was
passed.
Not Shocked at Assassination.
Consideration of the naval appropria
tion bill was then resumed and Baker
made -his attack oa the President for
sending his message of sympathy to the
Czar.
"1 deny," he vehemently asserted, "that
the American people are shocked by the
killing of the Grand Duke Sergius."
The people, he Insisted, were, however,
shocked "at the wanton massacre on Jan
uary 22."
Tho killing of Sergius he declared to be
but an incident in the effort the Rus
sian people were making to overthrow
the tyranny that had oppressed them.
"Do you wish It to go out to the coun
try," Interjected Thayer (Rep., Mass.),
"that the American people sanction the
killing of Grand Duke Sergius?"
Baker replied that the people were
shocked at tho action of a government
that refused to take notice of the murder
of thousands of Its indlvicuals, "and yet
pretends to be horrified at the loss of ono
human life."
General applause was accorded Maddox
(Dem., Ga.) when he declared that the
Democratic side of the House did not
approve of "this damnable assassination."
He said tho Democrats believed in fan
lights. "Wo don't believe in slaughter," he
said, "and we don't believe in this busi
ness which caused the slaughter of the
Grand Dutce Sergius. And," he added,
"the Democratic party don't stand for it
now, nor will it ever do so."
Grogvenor Defends President.
In the course of his remarks, Baker
had referred to the refusal of the House
to adjourn out of respect to the Russian
killed on the streets of St Petersburg
on January 22. With particular reference
to this subject, Grosvenor (Rep. O.) was
bitter in Iris criticism of Biakor. Baker's
action, he declared to havo been unpre
cedented. Had adjournment been taken,
it would have been a meaningless and
stupid exhibition of ignorance. The House
and the world knew that the American
Congress did not sympathize with riot
and unnecessary bloodshed, whether it
was necessary or not. There was no doubt
a strong critical opinion In the country,
but he said no intelligent man would sug
gest that Congress express an opinion
on that subject. Grosvenor denied that
the President fell short of his duty, and
said that, as regards the killing of Grand
Duke, Sergius, it would, have' been little
short of impropriety had not the Presi
dent sent his message of condolence. The
United States was not treating tho ques
tion of the character of Sergius, nor the
question of the right or wrong of Rus
sia's, internal policy, but in the name of
common humanity and In pursuance of
a time-honored precedent, the President
had sent his message of condolence. Ho
ventured the assertion, and received lib
eral applause In doing so, that. If a vote
of condemnation of the President was of-
i
fered by any resolution of Baker. It would
not get a vote except the tatter's own.
No Increase in Marine Corps.
In getting back to the naval bill, the
House, on a point of order by Sherman
(Bep. N. Y.) struck out the provision
for the proposed Increase in the strength
of the Marine Corps. For .contingent ex
penses of the Marine Corps, the appro
priation was reduced from 5215,000 to
5S5.000.
When the provision was reached re
garding the construction of two new bat
tleships, a number of members were on
their feet with amendments. An unsuc
cessful attempt was made by Hughes
(N. J.) to require the Government to
stipulate in its contracts with builders
an observance by them of the eight-hour
law. An amendment was offered by Per
kins (N. Y.) proposing a reduction in. the
number of new battleships from two to
one.
Rixey (Rep. Va.) opposed the construc
tion of any new battleships at all, oa the
plea that sufficient officers had not been
provided and also that the United States
in the matter of battleship construction
was building faster than Great Britain.
The statement was denied by Foss, which
caused Maddox (Dem. Ga.) to inquire why
the United States should not be first
among the navies of the world.
W. W. Kitchin (N. Y.) alleged that the
United States was upbuilding its Navy
aster than any Nation on earth. The
two battleships proposed were further sup
ported by Bassett and Sulzer (Dem. N.
Y.). Grosvenor Rep. O.), Meyer (La.)
and Foss (Rep. 111.). Mondell (Rep. Wyo.)
and Thayer (Rep. Mass.) favored one bat-
tleshin only, and Rarlhnlrit mm Mn.V
Scott (Kan.). Driscoll (N. Y.) and Lind
(Minn.) opposed any new battleships.
Baker Moves a Resolution.
Before the vote was taken Baker (N.
Y.) created a sensation by offering the
following resolution, which he read:
That, while this house views with horror
the deliberate destruction of human life at
all times and under ail circumstances; vot
it declares that, reprehensible as was the
murder of Grand Duke Sergius, It was no
more wanton than the massacre perpetrated
by the ItuFslan government on January 22.
when thousands of unarmed men, women
and children were butchered in cold blood;
and that It regards the murder of those
helpless, unoffending men, women and chil
dren as one o the most dastardly crimes
cvor perpetrated; that in refusing to express
the horror of the people of this country at
that fearful crime, wiiile now asserting that
"both the American Government and peo
ple" view the hilling of Grand Duke Sergiu
with abhorrence, the President has not and
docs not voice tho real sentiments ot the
poople of the United States.
In an excited manner hr nnsartrtA iYiat
he had been told that. If he introduced
the resolution, a motion would be made to
expel him from the House. Rushing down
the aisle and wavlnr the resolution in hl
hand, he dopositod it in the box provided
ior sucn measures, and dofied any one to
make a motion to expel him.
"Make it now." he .shouted. "Etih
Expel, I tell you. Introduce your motion
io expei.
Two Battleships to Be Built-
When the excitement over his action
had subsided, the Perkins amendment in
appropriate for one battleship only, in-
aieaa oi two. was dereated on a vote by
tellers, 321 to 144, which had the effect
of passing the original provision for two
ships.
While no record vote was tnken it
noticed that many Democrats voted for
ine two battleships and a number of
Republicans against the proposition.
The House rejected an amendment by
iucisary tJuass.). which proposed, on ac
count of tho price of steel in the I'nltpi
States, to strike from the hill the re
quirement by law that the vkso1b in ail
their parts shall be of domestic manu-
iacture.
On a point of order by Bell (Cal.), the
provision giving the Secretary of the
Navy tho authoritv to build nicotrVmr-n
collier authorized by Congress at the last
session 4.0 be built, on the Pacific Coast
was stricken out. That action immedi
ately was followed by the adontlnn nf
amendment of Nolen (Cal.) providing for
an appropriation of J175,(X to equip the
-uare lsiana ivavy-yara for building the
collier.
A spirited discussion, which resulted lit
no action, arose over the ability of the
MIdvale Steel Company to fillfll Its ran.
tract with the Government In tho matter
of armor-plate deliveries, In the course
or wnicn Morreil (Pa.) made a vigorous
speech in behalf of the MIdvale Company.
Several further attempts to amend the
bill failed. When the bill was reported
to the House from the committee of the
whole, Foss moved to recommit It, at tho
samo time demanding the previous ques
tion. Bartlett (Ga.) was on his feet at once
and objected that Foss' action was a trick
to prevent a vote on the battleships.
Speaker Counts a Quorum.
Wadsworth (N. Y.) sought an adjourn
ment, but his motion was voted down,
and the House then, on a viva voce vote,
adopted the previous resolution. Robin
son (Ind.) made the point of no quorum.
The Speaker-proceeded to count, and then
Inquired if any member had not voted
on the previous vote.
"I did not." said .Robinson.
"Then you are one and I am two, and
that makes a quorum," replied the
Speaker, his remark convulsing the House.
A further motion by Wadsworth to ad
journ was defeated, and then the motion
to recommit was voted down and the bill
was passed without the division.
Payne (N. Y.) announced tho death to
day of his colleague, Otis, at his home In
Yonkers, and offered the usual resolutions
of sympathy. The Speaker appointed a
committee of the House to attend the
funeral and the House at 7:10 P. M. ad
journed until tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
