IN THE HOUSE.

THE TEXT OF THE MEASURE.
A Dramatic Episode-Representative Can
noo Denoonced as a Uar by Repre
sentative Hepbnro-A Scene of
Riotous Conf OBion.
By Teiegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, May 2. Uonsidera:
tion of the Army Appropriation bill in
the Senate to day developed a debate
on the treatment of the volunteer
soldiers sent to the Philippines that
at times was very bitter.
Mr. Fason, Illinois, delivered a
speech on the investigation made , by
the Committee on Manufactures of
the adulteration of food. He strongly
urod that Congress should take imma
diate action to remedy existing evils,
looking to marking ingredients of all
foods exposed for sale and prohibiting
all deleterious articles.
Just before adjournment a sharp
colloquy occurred over the proposed
consideration of the resolution to un
seat Mr. Clark; of Montana, wjhich in
dicated that the unanimous recom
mendation of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections will be sharply
contested.
A bill was passed to .establish the
Fredericksburg and adjacent national
battlefields memorial parkin Virginia.
House of Representatives.
Washington, Hay 2. The House
to day, at the conclusion of the most
stormy debate of the present session of
Congress, passed the Nicaraguan Ca
nal bill by the overwhelming vote of
225 to 33. All attempts to retain in the
bill the language of the original bill
for the fortification of the canal and
to still further strengthen the lan
guage on that line were balked, and
the victory of Mr. Hepburn and the
committee was complete. A motion to
recomit the bill with instructions to
report back another bill leaving the
selection of the route to the President
was buried under an adverse minority
of 52 to 171.
Mr. Cannon, chairman of the Ap
propriations Committee, and Mr. Bur
, ton, of Ohio, chairman of the River
i and Harbor Committee, made a game
fight to stall off action at this session,
but their appeals were in vain, and the
members rode rough-shod over all
their argument and protests Much
excitement reigned throughout the
day and several times bitter words were
used. The excitement reached its cli
max in a highly dramatic scene be
tween Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Cannon,
when the former used the words "lie
aud liar," as he denounced the distin
guished chairman of the Appropria
tions Committee for attempting to
"dishonor" him. The House was in
riotous confusion during the quarrel.
Members crowded the aisles and the;
situation at one time was so threaten
ing tha Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky,
Sought to pour oil on the waters by
raising a point of order. But he was
not upheld and the two irate members
carried their war to the very hilt.
There was a show of peace at the close
of the incident, but the feeling be
tween. the two . men ran so high that
' the mutual retractions with which
such incidents generally end were but
the cloaks for -the keenest and most
cutting sarcasm. -The
bill as it passed the House is as
M
iuiiuwb: j
"Be it tnacted, etc., That the Presi
dent of the United States be and is
hereby authorized to acquire from the
States of jCosta Rica and Nicaragua,'
lor and in behalf of the United States,
control of such -portion of territory
now belonging to Costa Rica and Nica
ragua as may be desirable and neces
sary on which to excavate, construct,
- and protect a canal of such depth and
capacity as will be sufficient for the
movements of ships of the greatest
tonnage and draft now in use, from a
point near Greytown, o the Carri
bean sea, via Lake Nicaragua to Breto
on the Pacific ocean; and such sum as
may be necessary to secure such con
trol is hereby appropriated, out of
anv monev in the treasurv not other
wise appropriated.
"Section 2 That when the Presi
dent has secured full control over the
territory referred to, he shall direct the
secretary of War to excavate and con
struct a canal and waterway from a
point our the shore of the Carribean sea
near fchreytown, by way of Liake mca
ragua to a point near Breto, on the
Pacific ocean. Such canal shall be of
sufficient capacity and depth as that it
may be used by vessels of the largest
tonnage and greatest depth now in use
and shall be supplied with all neces
sary locks and other appliances to meet
tne necessities of vessels passmer from
Greytown to Breto; and the Secretary
of War shall also construct such safe
and commodious harbors ;at the ter
mini of said canal, and such provisions
for defence as may necessary for the
safety and protection of said canal and
harbors.
"Section 3 That the President shall
cause such surveys as may be neces
sary for said canal and harbors, and in
the construction of the surveys shall
employ such persons as he deems
necessary.!
"Section 4 That in the excavation
and construction of said canal, the San
Juan river-and Lake Nicaragua, or
such parts of each as may be made
available, shall be used. .
"Section 5 That in any negotia
tions with the States of Costa Rica or
Nicaragua! the President may have,
the President is authorized to guar
antee to said States the use of said
canal and harbors upon such terms as
may be agreed upon for all vessels
owned -by said States or by citizens
thereor. -"Section
6 That the sum of $10.
000,000 is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated towards the project
nerein contemplated, and the Becre
tary of- War is further hereby author-
izeu to enter into a contract or con
tracts for materials and work that may
be -deemed necessary for the proper
excavation, construction, completion
and defence of said canal, to be paid
- for as appropriations may from time
to time , hereafter be made, not to
exceed in the aggregate $140,000,000,
At the opening general debate was
closed and the' bill read for amend
ment under the five-minute rule.
Mr. Hepburn offered the committee
amendment to substitute the word
"protect" for "defend." in the first
section. It was adopted.
Mr. Parker, of New Jersey, offered
an amendment to strike out that nor
tion of the! bill limiting the President's
selection to the Nicaragua route.
This amendment nulled froth a. nrotest
from Mr. Hepburn, who declared that
it was intended to revive interest m
the Panama route which had caused
one of the f 'foulest scandals" in .the
hlStorv OI thn TnnHnrn . wni-lri TTa

Mr. McCulloc,h Arkansas, 'offered
an amendment to insert the words

"construct" "and defend." Here oc
curred the sensational scene between
Messrs. Cannon and Hepburn. Mr.
vbuuuu rose ana resentea some
remarKs made last night
Mr. Hepburn impunging bis
non's) sincerity. - Mr: Cannon
by
(Can-
spoke
under excitement savin c he had 4 11 fit
read Mr. Hepburn's attack upon him.
He recalled an intimation that had
come to him, of which he had spoken
yesterday, that those who were pro
moting this bill were doing so to delay
the canal. Yet he said he had acquit
ted Mr. Hepburn of any such inten
;VonVr Toay n frankly stated that
Mr. Hepburn's name had been con
nected with' the rumor.
"Who was the author of the rumor f"
asked Mr. Hepburn, jumping to his
feet.
"A newspaper man," replied Mr.
Cannon. 4 "I do not know his name."
Continuing and speaking with great
deliberation, Mr. Cannon said he
would have been satisfied with the
acquittal he gave Mr. Hepburn yes
terday had not his "doubts been
aroused." "My observation, said he,
"is that when a man is willing to
challenge the sincerity of another it is
because he is turning the glass inward
upon himself. I don't rise to justify
my own reputation for sincerity.
Upon my record of twenty-five y ears-in
public life I will stand or fall."
The excitement grew as Mr. Cannon
proceeded..
Mr. Hepburn's .face was white and
his words came in a perfect torrent
when he rallied. ,-He thought it en
tirely possible, he said.ithat some one
whose name could not be recalled was
lying about the capitol in the interest
of their pet projects. Interests in Mr.
Cannon's own city of Chicago, he de
clared, were trying to sell things to
the government, and he thought it al
together likely that the Panama Canal
Company might be trying to defeat
this bill. '
'I know no man connected with the
Panama Company," cried Mr. Can
non fiercely, "can the gentleman sav
as much!"
'Yes. except as thev have appeared
before my committee," replied Mr.
Hepburn, who. continuing, appealed
to the record for confirmation of what
he said about Mr. Cannon.
'Now, Mr. Chairman." continued
Mr. Hepburn, "for what I said of the
gentleman I appealed to the record,
and I say that on all occasions where
he has had an opportunity, by inso
lent interference, he has attempted to
stop the progress of this great work.
Twice in the last five years, his com
mittee that never gave a word of at
tention or study to the subject, have
intervened and have secured a diver
gence, have stopped the project under
the pretence of more information ; the
same plea made then that was, made
here. yesterday. I appeal to the record,
and have nothing more than this to
say to him, if he means to father it,
that the man that said that I was not
in good faith, that I had any other
purpose than that of securing at the
earliest moment that canal that would
most benefit us, I say thathe lied, and
if it was parliamentary to do ft, I
would say the mad that attempted to
give currency tp it by its repetition
here, was a liar. That is all I desire to
say about it"
Quick as a flash Mr. Cannon asked
Mr. Hepburn to repeat his statement
By this time the House was in a wild
state of excitement and confusion and
Mr. Wheeler.- of Kentucky, attempted
to call the gentlemen to order, but the
chair said he had heard nothing un
parliamentary, and Mr. Henburn nro-
ceeded. - ;
"I say-if the gentleman attempted
to give curreicy to the statement he
did me a great injustice by making
such an underhanded imputation."
Mr. Cannon, with flushed face, de
clared .that Mr. Hepburn was adopting
tne. tactics of the cuttlefish, "lie seeks
to muddy the waters and swim away."
l am not seeking to muddy the
waters," retorted Mr. Hepburn, pas
sionately. "I am responsible for what
1 said to the gentleman here and else
where. The gentleman tried to dis
honor me and I resent it." J
Mr. Cannon protested that he had
done nothing of the kind; that he had
treated the gentleman with respect,
and he had himself been assailed with
out provocation. He would dimiss the
whole subject believine Mr. Hepburn's
violent remarks were due to his temper
and not his calm judgment. Here the
matter rested.
But soon after another scene occur
red when Mr. Gaines (Tennessee) took
exception to a personal allusion made
to mm by Mr. Mann, Illinois-. After
reading from the record Mr. Mann's
statement, Mr. Gaines said with great
vehemence that the man who uttered
the words was "devoid of common de
cency, courtesy and gentility." The
Illinois member bad told him. Mr.
Gaines said, that he had come from
the South and was a Southern man.
and he thanked God that he was fifteen
hundred miles removed from contact
with the South.
Mr. - Mann came down the aisle as
Mr. Gaines concluded and in sarcastic
tones said: "Mr. Chairman, if the re
marks came from any other member
than the gentleman from Tennessee,
they would deserve a reply, but from
Kim th.. n

As Mr. Mann turned his back Mr.
Gaines raised his right hand men
acingly and exclaimed amid the con
fusion: "1 want to say that 1 am re
sponsible for every word I sav."
The excitement increased as the
time for a vote approached. Mr. Gros-
venor and Mr. Cannon exchanged
broadsides and Mr. Burton made his
final protest against the bill. He de
clared that the House was proceeding
illegally and hastily.

BRITISH MAKING
SLOW PROGRESS.
Boers Pushed Back a Few Miles
But Nothing Decisive Has
Yet Been Attained.
THEIR HARRASSINQxTACTICS.
Geo. Roberts Eodeavorfof to Establish a
Line of Posts from One Frontier of
the Free State to the Other. ,
Advsnce from Kimberley. ' '
t By Cable to the Mormon Star.
London, May 3, 4.10 A. M. The
immediate objective of Lord Roberts
is to establish a line of British posts
from one frontier of the Free State to
the other, at right angles with the rail
way, thus preventing Boer raids south
ward.
It is essential, therefore, that the
Boers should be expelled from the rug
ged Thaba N'Chu district and be forced
to retire to Ladybrand. As the result
of the desultory firing Monday and
Tuesday the Boers were pushed back
a few miles, but nothing decisive ap
pears to have been yet attained.
Tbo Boers co itinue to follow their
harrassiog tactics. One well horsed
commando, operating in the neighbor
hood of Sannas Post, interfere with
the British convoys going from Bloem-
loniein to xnapa jn unu. ine enemy
nearly captured a convoy Tuesday,
but they were driven oft after a brisk
fight
Preparations for an advance continue
at Kimberley. Sir Alfred Milner has
written to the mayor of, Kimberley.
assuring him that the relief of Mafekinsr
has not ceased to occupy his attention
and that of the military authorities.
and that nothing will be left undone
to raise the siege at the earliest possible
moment.
The British garrisons alonsr the
railway to Warren ton have all been
strengthened, and supplies are going
or ward. A mounted force has cone
to Barkley West in consequence of the
Boers having occupied Windorton. A
thousand Boers threaten the commu
nications between Kimberley and
Boshof.
Manila, chief of the Taungs. has in-
lormea tne British that tne Boers are
preparing to resist their advance at
Phokawani, twenty miles north of
Warren ton.
A corresnondent at Lourenzo Mar
ques cabled Tuesday that a large part
of the investigaing force at Mafeking
hadbeen withdrawn.
General Buller continues auiet
The Boers assert that they are delay
ing an attack upon him in the hope
that all the horses of the British will
die of horse sickness.
According to a correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, with Liord Robem.
President Kruger is again asking
peace terms. The departure of the
delegates from Holland for the United
States, and what they have said of
their purposes and hopes, draws British
attention to American views of the
war.
Hemming in the Boers.
London. May 2. It is difficult to
unravel the tangled stories coming
from the neighborhood of Thaba
N'Chu, but apparently the British
forces are engaged in a movement
having for its object the hemming in
of the Boers still in that district W hile
Generals French and Rundle are hold-
ng the Boers at Thaba N'Chu, Gen
eral Broad wood's cavalry has been
pushed on to Houtnek, in the hope of
ntercepting the Federal convoys be
tween Ladybrand and Winsburg.
-As lleneral Botha has been rein
forced there is every prospect of sharp
fighting. The new zone of operations
and the general movements of the
various columns are taken to indicate
that Lord Roberts is deploying his
army preparatory to beginning his
northern march. It now seems likely
that it is the commander-in-chief's in
tention to advance simultaneously
from Kimberley, Bloemfontein and
Ladysmith, with the view of prevent
ing the Boers from concentrating their,
forces at any given point
A dispatch from bloemfontein, dated
yesterday, chronicles the prevailing
opinion among the townspeople there
that the war is not likely to last more
than six weeks once the British ad
vance begins, but adds that the corre
spondent has been unable to discover
any ground for his opinion, beyond
the fact tbat General Carnngton has
arrived at the Marandellas base.
whence a flying column will be dis
patched in a direction not made public.
Expelling British Subjects.
A dispatch from Pretoria gives the
text of President Kruger's proclama
tion expelling British subjects from
the Transvaal. It reads: "As nume
rous burghers insist on the removal of
the British and as the government is
desirous of complying with the wishes
of the burghers and others favorable
to the republic all Britishers residing
in the district and town of Pretoria,
and the Witwatersrand gold fields
must leave the State within thirty-six
hours from noon, April bUth. Ex
ception will be made in the case of
those obtaining special permits."
Fighting at Hontney.
Thaba N'Chu. Tuesday, May 1,
afternoon. General Hamilton's divi
sion was engaged yesterday and to-day
in forcing a passage northward. At
Houtney, the Boer front held a line
of hills commanding the Bides of the
hill to the left and the "Shropshires
and Marshall's Horse, supported by .a
battery, also made an attack on the
enemy, who finally fled, leaving
many wounded, and the passage was
cleared.
The Boers on the mountain are now
shelling the outlying camp, necessi
tating removal to a safer place. The
Boers have three guns on the hill, to
the eastward of this place outside of
the range of the British artillery. The
Boers shelling is not doing any dam
age. The enemy retain their positions
and the British are not attempting to
dislodge them.
General Hamilton by reaching
Houtnev after a full days fighting, se
cured the Thaba N'Chu-Bloemfontein
road.
Ladysmith, May 1. There is re
newed activity among the Boers on
this side of the Drakensberg moun
tains. Preparation here to check an
advance are complete.

Crop Conditions Oreat Damage by Heavy
Rains in Texas Cotton Planting.
Scarcity of Seed.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
'Washington, May 1. The weekly
summary of crpp conditions, issued by
the Weather Bureau, is in part as fol
lows:
The most unfavorable features of
the week ending April 30th were the
excessive rains in the Southern States
and the unseasonably low tempera
tures of the central and southern
plateaus and Pacific coast regions. A
large part of Texas, including the re
gion of the great flood of June-July,
1899, has received from two to more
than seven inches of rain, washing out
and inundating crops to a great ex
tent over the central and southern por
tions of the state.
Eastward of the Mississippi river
corn planting and preparations have
progressed rapidly, in Texas and por
tions of Mississippi, Arkansas and
Louisiana much re-planting will be
necessary, as the result of overflows.
In the. central and eastern portions
of the cotton belt cotton planting has
progressed under more favorable con
ditions than id the previous week, and
good stands are. auite generally re
ported. Planting la well advanced
over the northern portion of the cotton
ben; the early planted is being culti
vated over the southern portion. Great
damage has been caused by the heavy
rams in central and southern Texas,
where much replanting will be neces
sary. In many portions of Texas the
ouik oi tne crop is vet to be planted
and seed are reported scarce. Much
replanting also remains .to be done in
Arkansas
Transplanting tobacco is in progress
as far north as North Carolina. An
abundant supply of vigorous plants is
generally reported.
Fruit reports continue generally

neither side made concerted efforts to
improve its position. The opening
was steady at an advance i of
one to five points, based on firmer
Liverpool cables, bad - crop news
from part of the belt, together with
a flurry of buying for Wall street ac
count, and soon placed prices at a
level, five i to ten points above last
night's close. For the rest 6T the day
fluctuations were too narrow to call
forth comment and at times business
was almost at a standstill. Receipts
were about as expected. Early in the
day some 7,000 May notices were is
sued by a Greek export house, but!
were readily taken up by Philadelphia-'
and other shipping interests. The fea
