a fact which! wasj grimly- commented
Upon today by fnemlbers as they spoke
or ipne 'future that every war in which
the Unlited States has ng-aged IbSigan
in April and that 'today was the anni
versary of the fall of Fort Sumpter,
which, arooxsed the. patriotic fervor of
the north and made the" four years of
civil strife a certainty. The resolutions
adopted direct the president to Inter
vene at once in Cu'ba, to restore peace
and secure to the peopie of this island
"a tahle and independent" erovern
ment of their own, and authorize total
to use the army and -navy to execute
the purpose of thei resoluitionu, AU
though only nineteen memibersr-fl f teen
democrat'. . threaf repuiblicans and one
populist-isseoted upon the irlnajl vote,'
the proceeding were marred "by a littfF
and acrimonious display of partisan
feeling. (During- the heigiht of the ex-cit-eiment
the lie was f.-Ssed (between
Mr, lirumm, republican, .of Pemnsyl
vania, and Mr. Bartlett, deffnocrat, of
Georgiay and a disgraceful scene fol
lowed, that almost descended to the
lycl of a free ingnt. (Uaiteir, the two
memibers found that the - aitercatioD,
had arisen out of a mlsunderistandiinig;
whereupon there were muitual apolo-
gisea. ".: : ..." -
Only forty minutes !were given for
deffaate and & special rule was required
to get the resolution '"before the house.
Some starring and patriotic sentiments
were voiced j during the debate which
lifted" the galleries and the members
to a high pitch of fen'tihusiasm. -
In the early part of th-? day Mr.
Cruanpaeker,! ' repiblican, of Indiana,
from the committee on elections No.

trict;; in favor of the contestant.
Shortly -before $ o'clock" Mr. !Adans,

tered the hall .75tH the rfport. The
ri.ao.it.ifvn of the resoJl'-tions which
are as followw was the occasion, for a

Mr. Adams asked unanimous consent
for Jhe consideration, of the resolutions.
: Mr. Bailey re served the right -to ob
ject, saying- that whether he objected
or not would depend whether a fair un
derstanding as to the length of the de
hate could be reached. He eough t to
interpose with a request that the minor
ity resolutions he read.
The speaker Insisted that tf ofbjeictlon
wad to be made I t -must he made then.
"The chair is determined to try to
force the minority- ; ' . cried Mr.
Bailey amid much conf usion and cries
of "regular order," whereupon! !Mr.
(Bailey turned and forcing the xrther
side entered Qua objection, to euiphatic
tones.
, "They arc simply, playing for poli'tdcal
advantage and the' people of the coun

"There is a perfect ; understaniding

required1 only the application of a
match to . explode the i magazine and
when the explosion came pandemon
ium resigned. Mr. : Bartlett, democrat,
of Georgia, off to ithe: right of the
chairman, was. supporting the protests
of the democrats against I the taunitSng
words which were coining from the-
other side. . - .
Suddenly in his rear5 to the next tier
of seats came to stentorian tones from
Mr. Brumm, republican, ! of 'Pennsyl
vania, a taunt addressed gemeirally, to
the democratic side: j "You 'got , just
what; you did not want," he, shouted.
; JThat is not true," cried out Mr. iBaxt
lett, who it vas expialned subsequent
ly was addressing his remarks to a . re
puiblican, on the other plde. .
"I say it is," retorted Mr. Eruaitm
hotly. -'..:' .. . i V -!..-.
"It lis not," flared (back Mr. Bartlett'
iturning and facing Mr. Brumm. '
"You are! a! liar!" ': responded Mr.
Brumm. . ' ' -.'
The lie had passed. Instantly Mr.
Bartlett: reached for a' large bound
copy of the congressSoaal record, on the
desk .'before him and raising it aloft,
hurled lt-at his adversary.) It fell short
and then the two antagonists rushed
for each other. The house immediate
ly was aa uproar. Some of-, the la
dies to the galleries sereamaied hysteri-.
cally. Memibers1 orowder j toward' the
oomibatants -from all' ; quarters. They
ran across the area in front of. the
speaker's desk and crowded up the
ad joining, aisles, . clinching, tugging,
hauling at each other . Hik' madmen.
It was like a free fight in. the street
Shouts of anger ,and indignation were
heard on eyery hand, l Members in the
crush espoused the' cause of the, two
original comfbatanlts and there' were
several exciting ;: collisions,; hut no
blows struck. Meanitlime Mr: Bartlett
and Mr. Brumm were trying to get at

were bornie hack fby friends. Mr. Bart

off his feet and Mr. Miers, of Indiana,

blocked the path of 'Mr. Brumm, who i3
himself evidently a man of great phy

Brumm, Mr. Mierst Jbecamel involved
