DOLPH ON PENNOYER'S LETTER
Bmitelle's Hawaaian Resolution
Provokes a Verbal
Battle.
Washington, Jan. 10. Peffer's resolu
tion providing for on inquiry into the
delay In the construction of iniUlc
buildings was adopted.
Gorman, replying to Pefter, said the
trouble was that congress made appro
prlauions for more public buildings with,
in the last few years than it had been
physically possible to construct. The
appropriations of the government dur
ing the past three years exceeded by
over $300,000,000 the total revenues of
the government.
Call thought it important that all pub
lic buildings to be constructed should
be begun as soon as possible in order
to give employment to the millions of
unemployed American laborers now in
actual need and distress.
Senator Dolph did not think it the
duty of the government to provide for
the general destitution. He referred to
the communication of the governor of
Oregon to the president, declaring the
people of his state Indignant at the gov
ernor, an.l had adopted resolutions .1e
nylng his statements.
IN THE HOUSE.
Boutello, again tried to secure consid
eration of his Hawaiian resolution re
ported by the naval affairs committee
and laid upon the table, but he was
finally overruled by the speaker.
The tariff debate was then resumed.
Hopkins finished his speech begun yes
terday and was followed by Johnson, c
Ohio, In support of the measure.
In the house the attempt to secure
t n:inlmoii3 consent for the consideration
of the KtiuEu Hawaiian resolution
raised aiioUvr merry row which con
cluded with a verbal duel between Boli
tolle and the speaker. During the war
of words Traeey, of New York, asked
the chair whether it would be in o.der
to call for the regular order.
"Oh, the White Hoise clock has not
struck this morning," Interposed Bou
tt lie. sarcastically.
Traeey'a cheek ilamed. Ho inquired
hotly whether a member while making
a parliamentary inquiry could be af
fronted. Houtelle disclaimed any In
tention of Insulting bis colleague, and
Traeey took his seat, still chafing under
the affront put upon him, and declaring
to his friends that he would not stand
this sort of treatment any longer. "The
next man who says anything of that
kind," he declared, "will got his face
slapped."
OCTWITTHD THEIIt OPPONENTS.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 10. The demo

much confusion followed.
The republicans were still In posses
sion tonight, and say they will retain
the advantage gained. Today they ask
ed Governor Werts for the keys of the
chamber, but the governor refused to
have anything to do with the matter.
Capt. Jack Graham smashed in a win
dow leading to the ladles' gallery, threw
back the bolt of the main doors, and
in a few minutes the republicans lilted
the room. They will place a guard over
the chamber and keep watch nisht
and day. The democratic senate held
