HOT TIME IN THE HOUSE A War of Word Ifetwrtn the Gentleniuu from Kentucky and the Member from HaKsaehtiaettM. WASHINGTON, April 21.-Wlthout a word of discussion of the merit cf the measure, the senate today passed the river and harbor bill, carrying In appropriations about ITO.OdOiOO. , So thoroughly had the bill been consid ered by the commerce committee that every senator wa content that it should pass a reported from 'lie com mittee. All amendments of the com mittee were agreed to In the course of reading the measure. Mitchell, of Oregon", read a state ment of the proposed Improvement of the Columbia river between The Dalles and Celllo, reviewing the work al ready done, looking to that Improve ment. He raid that no more Import ant proposition was Involved in the bill than that relating to this Improve ment and he urged that the conference committee should insist upon the amendment Inserted in the measure by the senate committee. The bill was j '!... passed without further comment : The house today entered upon the consideration of the military academy bill. In aditlon :o the regular items, It contain provision for.extensive Im provements of grounds and buildings at West Point. f These Improvements are to cost 16.- 500,000 of which $5,000,000 la appropri ated in the blU. : ' , Cannon, rbairman of the committee on appropriations, characterized the proposed expenditure at West Point as the "rankest kind of 5rtravagance." Gilbert of Kentucky took occasion to reply to some remarks recently made by Glllett, Of Massachusetts; Brown el, of Ohio, and General Funston, which he thought reflected upon bis state. In the course of-his remarks Gilbert, aald that in Kentucky and In fact in all the South, they looked with supreme contempt upon social equality of races. The most ignorant white girl in his state, he said, would infinitely prefer to marry the lowest, meanest, most ignorant white man in the world to the most cultivated ne gro In America. Gentlemen on the other side could not cry down the "taint in the blood." He recalled the fact that when a color ed man sat on the other side of the house, nf one of his colleagues Invited him to his house. Prejudice against social equality was as strong In the North as In the South, he declared, and all ths talk "was hypo critical rant and rot. Gilbert's remarks drew a reply from Glllett. of Massachusetts, Glllett said he was willing to admit the prejudice against the negro In New England. He thought when a negro man raised him self above his fellows and led a pure, clean, manly life, his worth should be recognised.- He did not sympathize with the state of society which ac cepted a man whose hands were stain ed with blood of lyncktng, or with election frauds, but who rejeoted wor thy, pure man; simply because his col or wa black.
