ON THE SQUARE.
Washington. June 21. When the .
house met at 11 o'clock today, Mr, Hill, j
chairman of the coxnimittee on military j
affairs, called up the conference report
on the military academy appropriation
bill. Mr. Hay (Va,), Mr. ClaytonXAla.)
and Mr. Mann (111.) criticised the ac
tion of the house conferees in agreeing
to the number of cadets at West Point
proposed by the senate. Mr. Mann aid
that recently the number of cadets had
been increased 100. The increased mem
bership of the house would further in
crease the cadets 30 and now it was
proposed to increase that number still
further. He did not believe we should
legislate in the direction of a great in
crease in the standing army. -
Mr. Clayton called attention to the
fact that the army which cost annually
$25,000,000 before the Spanish-American
war now costs annually $125,000,000.
Mr. Hull and Mr. Parker (N. J.) de
fended the conference report, arguing
that the increase was necessary in or
der to properly officer the army.
Mr. Clayton demanded a division of
the adoption of the report, and no quo
rum appearing, a call of the house was
ordered. After the roll had been called,
Mr. Richardson, the democratic leader,
grew impatient over the fact that no
announcement of the state of the vote
was made beyond the fact that no quo
rum had responded, and there was a
rather sharp exchange between hhrr
and -the'Tspeaker over the requirements
of the rules in the premises.
Mr. Clayton finally moved to adjourn
but the motion failed. After waiting
twenty minutes a quorum appeared and
the conference report was adopted 88
to 59.
Mr. Cannon (111.) called up confer
ence report upon the sundry civil bill.
Mr. Cannon explaned that the agree
ment was only partial. Of the $6,547,
000 added to the bill by the senate $4,-
1053,000 had been agreed to by the con
ferees, leaving items carrying $1,283,
OOQl still in controversy. The report was
agreed to without division.
Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) moved that the
house concur in the senate amendment

WATTERSON'S SCATHING
ARRAIGNMENT OF CLEVELAND
Louisville, Ky., June -21. Under the
caption, "A Death's Head at the
Feast," Mr. Watterson Has the follow
ing to say in today's Courier-Journal
regarding Grover Cleveland's "har
mony" speech at the Tilden Club ban
quet in New York:
"It seems a kind of irony that it
should be a Tilden club to welcome Mr.
Cleveland's baleful re-entry into polit
ical activities. Mr. Tilden died with
words of scorn and contempt upon his
lips for Grover Cleveland. He under
stood perfectly the coarse texture of
Mr. Cleveland's physical and mental
makeup, his obtuse selfishness, his ig
norant obstinacy, his vulgar self-assertion,
his indefatigable duplicity.
"That Mr. Cleveland should put him
self forward as a cpnjecturable party
leader is proof of "a self-confidence
which would be sublime if It were not
