to Hear the Great Debate Be
tween the Two Leader*.
' Washington, February 2.-At the
hour for opening the session of the
house yesterday the galleries were
crowded, the aisles were used for seats,
the doors presented the appearance of
living pyramids, and back of them was
i
I ? - f.y

A
SPEAKER rr? T<? r.
a solid of humanity, hoping
against hope that they might some
time get within seeing and hearing
distar.ee of the closing of the great
tariff debate. Th? elevators ran to the
gallery floor heavily laden with human
freight, but no one was able to get
exit from them through the living’ wall
of struggling, pushing men and women
that were packed solidly to the eleva
tor fence.
The scenes on the floor of the house
was just as exciting as in the galleries,
ind there was an air of eager expec
tancy in the faces of the members as
they moved about the floor and gath
ered in knots to discuss the all-impor
tant question of the day. The speak
er's table was ornamented with a mag
nficent bunch of long stemmed Mare
vhalneil roses.
Immediately 7 after the reading of the
ournal Lockwood (democrat, New
lork) made the point of no quorum,
md the roll was called, disclosing the
Jresence of 221 members.
The house then went into committee
if the whole and took up the question
lending when the house adjourned
Wednesday— Wilson's motion to close
lebate on the Barley amendment - and
he house divided. Wilson and Warner
democrat New York) then took their
daces as tellers, and the mot ion was
igie. dto 179 in the affirmative and
lone in the negative.
II hen the hour of 12 arrived, in ae
-ori ance with the special order, the
iommittee rose, and the chairman,
ichaidsou, of Tennessee, reported to
that the house had had

ROME GEORGIA. FRIDAY EVENING FEBRUARY. 2. 1894,
nitninai ver z
fie said that in this debate, which
has already extended over many weeks,
one remarkable result has already been
reached—a result of the deepest im
portance to this country. That result
is that the bill before us is odious to
both sid-s of the housa. It meets with
favor nowhere, and commands the re
spect of neither party. On this side,
we believe that while it intends to be
for protection, it does not afford it, and
on the other side, they believe that
while it looks toward free trade, it
does not accomplish it.
At the close of Mr. Reed's speech a
deafening wave of applause rolled
through the house, and a magnificent
basket of roses, a tribute from the re
publican members of the house, was
borne up the aisle on the shoulder of a
page.
When the cheering had subsided the
presiding officer (Hatch, of Missouri)
i recognized the speaker, Mr. Crisp.
The appearance of Mr. Crisp stand
ing at the desk of Representative
Clark, of Missouri, in the first aisle of
the democratic side, a position corre
sponding tp Mr. Reed's on his side, was
the signal for an outburst of enthusi
astic cheering.
Speaker Crisp Speaks.
‘•Mr. Speaker, embarrassed by the
vast audience that is here assembled,
. embarrassed by the idea that 1 may
1 not be able to meet the expectations of
my friends, 1 shall yet undertake,
within the period allowed by the rules
of the house, to reply to and to make
plain to this house the errors contained
in the argument t® which they have
just listened.
“I assume that the cause of protec
tion has no more able advocate than
the genie nan from Maine.
“I assume that the argument for
protection can be put in no more force
ful form than that to which you have
listened today.
“And 1 shall ask you calmly and dis
passion tely t > exami e w'th r <• t u
argument, t > ■ee u > 11 . hat t s bn e .
and then I shall a k the uiipre.uok. u
judgment of this house as to v. he <-r
the cause attempted to be susla.m d I y
the gentleman from Maine cau be -
tablished consistently with right and
justici to the people of the United
States.
“The gentleman from Maine, with a
facility that is unequaled, when he en
counters an argument which he is un
-1 able to answer, passes it by with some
bright and witty sayings, and thereby
invites and receives the applause < f
| tll6.se who believe as he does. But the
gentleman does not attempt—the gen
tleman has not attempted -to reply
to fife real arguments that are made
in favor of free trade and more liberty
to commerce.”
And he continued with a strong, log
ical and powerful speech, in which he
was frequently applauded, and many
tributes were paid after he had fin
ished. He excelled himself. When
( the vote was taken the bill passed—

HARRY HILL S CASE.
Interest Increased as tho Third
Day Passed.
COLONEL ECHOLS WAS IMPEACHED.
The Defendant Declared He Hud Never
Seen Ibis latter Introduced by the
Prosecution Purporting to
He Hl* CoufwMiou.
Atlanta, February 2.—The third
' morning session of the trial of
Harry Hill for forgery was occupied
with hearing the closing evidence
in the case.
First the letter purported to have
been written to Colonel John W. Echols
by Harry Hill from Chicago was read
to the jury by the prosecution.
While the letter was being read the
prisoner jumped up and in a dramatic
manner exclaimed: 1
“Gentlemen of the jury, 1 have never
se m that letter before."
The defense introduced several wit
nesses in rebuttal, and finally closed
by introducing witnesses to impeach
the character of Colonel John W. Ech
ols, of counsel for the prosecution.
Three witnesses swore that they would
not believe him on oath.
The ease will probably reach a con
clusion Saturday.
'lll's letter purported to have been
written from Chicago last May to John
W. Echols, who was Hill's lawyer ami
a partner in the whisky company.
Echols furnished the letter to the state.
The lady referred to in the letter is
Mrs. Fanny Porter, whose name Hill is
now being tried for forging. An ex
tract from the letter reads thus:
“I do this as a matter of justification
to yourself, Mr. Hill, the lady in ques
tion and to myself. I have no ability
to express my deep concern for her and
the anxiety through which I know she
is passing, yet with me she will always
maintain the same exalted station of
which she has been the occupant for
many and many years. To express the
error of my course would be a useless
story. 1 can only say 1 regret! I was
prompted by the desire and ambition
to success, and had the fat -s dire ted
success for me. how different would be
the attitude today.
“Os course you are aware that this
lady had on many occasions done for
me acts of kindness both beautiful and
gracious, in my extreme anxiety to re
coup her, to redeem that which might
have been lost, to avoid her from as
persions which the world is so willing
to cast at the unfortunate, and espe
cially if that be a lady. Is it possible,
therefore, that I could have been so
ungrateful as to abandon this desiie
for her protection? In all this doing I
was prompted more through the con
cern which I entertain for her than for
myself.
“After the first circumstance which
relates to the matter of Mr. Garey, I
recognized that she was displeased, but
she granted forgiveness, joining me in
the hope of its beneficial redounding."’
The letter ended with a po; tic quota
tion.

New Albany, Mass.. February 2. —

nels was begun and finished today.
The judges were Major J. M. Taylor,
of New York; IV. B. J. Nesbitt, of

dred to the fourth, and one hundred

we> ' but ten starters.' viz: Bessie
h , pe. Mny Early, Sadie 11, Tea Tray,
' .iie White, 1 ,»ii mbia, Hope's Queen,
Nellie Gladstone. Livingston and Alline
Bessie Shoupe easily disposed of May
Early and showed excellent capabili
ties. Sadie R had no difficulty in beat
ing Tea Tray in a good working heat.
Columbus out worked Collie White and
vanquished her. Hope’s Queen and
Nellie Gladstone ran a very ordinary
heat. Alline showed excellent merit
in her heat with Livingstone, far out
classing the latter. In a closely con
tested heat, Sadie R had a slight ad
vantage over Columbia, both, however,
doing good work. Bessie Shoupe and
Alline ran an excellent heat, each dis
playing wide range, speed and skillful
point work on birds, besides good find
ing capabilities.
