" “ I.IV ns Burßl n e U..nu.HY. everyone Eager 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.

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— yeas, 2u3; nays, 140. Will the G. A. K. Meet lu Atlanta? Atlanta, Ga., February 2. —At a meeting of 0. M. Mitchell post, G. A.

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.
