Potts.
The court room was crowded and
there were many wet eyes in the court
room during his speech. Among the
most dramatic points in his speech was
where he denounced Dllworth Choate,
a newspaper man, and District Attor
ney weiiman, and where with tears
streaming from his eyes and sobs con
vulsing his frame he turned to thank
hlsi counsel, Lawyer Howe, saying that
he was a poor man and could never
repay his devotion. He ended by hand
ing him an.envelope which he said
contained his dearest possession, Hel-
en's last gift to him, a pair of cuff
buttons. Harris spoke an hour and Beckwith, of Wyoming, also appeared
b maue no sign as and told a history of the contest ,.
to have been discovered by him hi the
naval appropriation bill alone.
In discussing errors In bills, Gorman
said the appropriation bills had never
been so delayed as at the last session.
Two or three great appropriation bills
were delayed in the last two days of
the session by useless discussion of
other matters. The result had been
that when bills went to the house to
be enrolled, there was not sufficient
time to have the work properly done.
He admitted there had been great care
lessness, but still the., fact remained
that if the senate had shown the stand'
ard time, the naval appropriation bill
in Its Imperfect form, would not have
been presented for the signature of thf
president. la. was a lesson he trusted
no senator would forget hereafter,
