BITTER CONTROVERSY
The House Involved in a
Dispute Today.
IT GREW OUT OF TALBOT'S REMARKS
Which. Representative Barrett Inter
preted as Treasonable Resolu
tion of Censure Offered.
v Washington, Feb. 7. Debate on the
free-silver substitute for the bond bill
proceeded eteadily in the house today.
The house met at 10 :30 a. m., with less
than 30 members present.
Newlanda awoke the empty echoes of
the vast "hall with a vigorous argument
in favor of the free and independert
coinage of silver. He asserted not a
single debtor nation of the world main
tamed the gold standard except, the
United States, and we did so as the price
of the continued bond issues.
Talbot then rose to a question of per
sonal privilege to correct what he said
was an unintentional misrepresentation
of himself in the public prints. He said
Pearson made an unwarranted attack on
the loyalty ot his state, which, he de
clared, was as loyal as any state in the
Union. Pearson had said North Caro
' lina followed South Carolina out of the
Union, and got whipped along with the
Palmetto state. "In a jocular way, Mr.
Speaker," continued Mr. Talbot, "I de
clared we weren't whipped, but had
worn ourselves out trying to whip the
other fellows. In the heat of the mo
ment, and impulsively, I said South
. Carolina was not ashamed of the part
-' she took in it, and I, for one, endorsed
secession then. I thought we were
right ; I think so yet, and surrounded by
the same conditions, I would do the
same thing again. Now, Mr. Speaker,
I repeat it."
. Barrett asked that the words be takeu
down. Several members appealed to
him not to do so.
The speaker asked Barrett if lie insist
ed upon his demand.
Barrett seemed to hesitate until Tal
bot declared in a loud voice he was will
ing to have his words taken down. "I
will stand by them," eaid he.
Barret then replied to the speaker :
"Yes, I ins'st; I want to. see if a mem
ber can violate his oath in this fashion."
"The chair understood that the gentle
man from South Carolina was only re
peating what be had said on a former
occasion." said Speaker Reed.
Crisp moved that Talbot te permitted
to explain. The words were read at the
clerk's desk.
Barrett then formally made a point of
order that when a statement made by a
member had been called in question
and he deliberately reiterated it, it, con
stituted a new statement and a new of
fense. He purposed now to offer a reso
lution of censure.
The excitement on the floor was in
tense. Crisp said ' he bad never known
an instance when a member was called
to order and a motion made that he be
allowed to explain his utterances, that
such motion was not considered.
Barrett replied he had no objection to
the gentleman from South Carolina ex
plaining at the proper time. There was
more parliamentary sparring between
Crisp and Barrett, during which the ex
citement increased.
The speaker finally. cut the matter
short by saying if the house was not sat
isfied with Talbot'e explanation the re
solution might be offered. The speaker
decided Crisp's motion in order.
"I take it for granted," said Dingley,
rising, "that the house does not intend
to vote on the resolution of censure
without according the gentleman from
South Carolina an opportunity to ex
plain.." These generous words won the
applause of the democratic side.
Talbot explained that he had arisen to
correct misrepresentations. "South Car
olina," he proceeded, "was as loyal and
true to the Union as any state. The
circumstances under which she seceded
could not exist again, and he was glad
of it." (Democratic applause).
Dalzell moved to refer Barrett's reso
lntion to the committee on judiciary.
This was carried by a vote of 154 to 41.
This is understood to mean that no no
tice will be taken of the matter.
.At Hendrick, Ind., Joe Merrifield,
aged 13, quarreled with his brother
Hugh, agad 10. He shot and killed
Hugh and then committed suicide.

The sultan has replied to the auto
graph letter trom Queen Victoria, which
it has been understood was a personal
appeal to the better nature of the sultan
against the condition of Asia Minor,
sympathizing with her in the humane
sentiments expressed' and declaring the
reports of the massacres were spread by
evil-disposed persons: The sultan adds
that, contrary to allegations, the Turks
were nrsc attaccea wniie praying in a
mosque. The sultan assured the queen
that the measures taken had succeeded
in restoring order, and except in Zel
toun, quiet prevails everywhere, and ne
gotiations going on with the insurgents
at Zeltoun will undoubtedly lead to
quiet.
