Mr. Grosvenor. with Turned lace anl uplifted arm. declared that the gentleman xruin Ohlj, Mr. Lentz, r;;.u tt-n Kuilty of a malicious falsehood. "And he know it." added Mr. Grosvenor. .. few mlnutts afterward Mr. Lentz propet oil that Mr. Grcsver.or b3 given fifteen minutes and he (Ientz) ten minutes. "Oh. I object." called out Mr. Cannon, if tha gentlemen desire to wash their dirty lintn they should hire a hall." ILaushter.l 9 A eiy sensational episod? oocurrca when tte paragraph providing that not over t'f) Miculd be paid for th- apprehension of .i eJtserter from the army was rrached. Tms paragraph was seized upon by Mr. Lents U-r a base from which to attack what ho caid was going on in the Philippines and v.hlch so disgusted, our soldiers there that they deserted, lie declared that reports were coming buck from the Philippine to the effect that our soldiers were killing

prisoners and said that he kniw oC a let.er received by the rather of a j-oldler in the Philippine telling of how a rative had b-en buried alive by his captors iir.d then b headed. Mr. Ler.tz declared :hn if thai was the sort of civilization iKMnr carried into the Philippines it would take 3.:rt to 1: event our soldiers from deserting?. Aain f.rd again, he shouted, that they wera Justified in deserting. Mr. Lentz's remark arouse the House to fever pitch. Mr. Graham (Rep.. Pa.) challenged Mr. Lent to produce tho letter he had referred to. He all he thought it existed only in the imagination of the gentleman from Ohio. Mr. Lentz declared that the loiter could not be produced without getting the boy If.to trouble. DESERVES TO BE SHOT. Mr. Cannon, in Impressive tones, declared that a gentleman who would rise in his t'lare in the American Congress and advice nen who had enlisted under ihe American hag to desert might be safe here, but if he should say the same things in the Philippines he would be tried by drumhead court martial and shot. This statement brought a round of applause Horn the Republican side. But Mr. Lentz returned to the assault. II read a newspaper account of a letter alleged to have been received y the father of a soldier saying that the soldiers wew ordered to shoot every man and beast they found. Mr. Lentz declared that he could net be "brow-beten." If su.-h orders had been Issued, he ald. this Congress, collectively, should be ashamed to face th-5 world, lie charged that our soldiers were guilty of murder and said that the time i.ad come when the country was entitled to Know the facts and not to rely upon a censored pre. Mr. Cannon said the gentleman was lashing nimself into a pas.slon while the men he slandered were busy in the performance of their duty. Mr. Cannon sail that in his life he had heard more eloquent men than tne gentleman from Ohio encourage desertion. "When 'he life of tho Nation was at stake," said he, "men all over the North stool behind the filing" line and encouraged desertion. I leave the gentleman to the contempt of an indignant people," concluded Mr. Cannon, arrid a. whirlwind of applause as he took his seat. "Was the gentleman on the nring line?' cried Mr. Lentz. "It matters r.ot where I was." retorted Mr. Cannon. Jumping to hl3 feet. "I was rot disloyal then, and what Is more important I am not disloyal now." Renewed Republican applause. Mr. Mahon challenged Mr. Lentz to bring l:i a resolution to ask the secretary of war whether such orders as he ha J referred to ever had Seen Issued. The result of euch an lnctulry. he said, would show that the repcrt of them was a falsehood. "I have heard such speeches as the gentleman delivered before," he continued. "They are but a. revart of the copperhead speeches Xrom LS61 to "lS-5. The copperhead charged every crime in the calendar tn the Union ko'dUrs. The boys In the Philippines are dttertlng because you encourage them to carert and tho man who encoutages them U Morse than the deserter. During the rebellion I thought if 8.0UO or lO.OuO of the crr.perheads had been shot we would not have been troubled with desertion. Some of these men still live thank God, very few. (Applause. There are none in my State. Neither the people nor, the ress of my State could be paid to make auch charges as the gentleman has made. I am not surprised that the good people of Ohio left ou at home not because you charged that the administration raid IIOO.MW to defeat ytu; you are not wcrth It but because of ycur everlasting demagogy." Loud Republican applause. REPUBLICANS JEERED. ' This brought Mr. Lentz again to his feet. "When he declared himself a JeffersonI.lncoln Democrat the Republicans jeered. Proceeding, he charged that his defeat had been compassed by bribery right and left. I was defeated," he continued. "You are welcome to the glory and satisfaction of it." 'It's a great satisfaction," laconically observed Mr. Mahon amid laughter. Mr. Grosvenor also paid his respects to Mr. Lentx for terming himself a follower of Jefferson and Lincoln, and Mr. Moody almost brought his side of the House to its feet by reading an utterance of Lincoln condemning the "wily agitator" who induced the soldiers to desert more than it condemned the soldier himself. "Has Massachusetts shot Senator Hoar?" shouted Mr. Lentz while the applause was reverberating through the hall. "Oh, gel out," called Mr. Dalzeli (Rep., Pa.) The excitement then subsided and consideration of the bill was renewed. Mr. Sherman offered the following amendment,. PALE AND COLD TO-DAY. Probably Fair To-Morrorr. rith nisIuk Temperature.

Depew ItepIIcM to Ilntler, and Hale Denounce mi Aliened Lobby. WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The Senate spent the day on the postofflee appropriation bill, making some progress, but not completing it. The amendment of Mr. Butler proposing a reduction of about 9 per cent. In the pay for railway postal service was defeated, IS to Zl, after a debate in which Mr. Depew answered Mr. Butler's criticisms on the large profits made by American roads. Late in the day a sharp controversy on the pneumatic tube ques tion was precipitated by an amendment offered by Mr. Mason extending that service to Chicago and one by Mr. Vest extend ing It to St. Louis. Mr. Hale severely crit icised those promoting the lyatem, refer ring to a "Job and lobby." He had thought ths lobby had been smitten In tue teeth by the action of Congress two years ago. nut now the "Job" was here again and the streets leading to the Capitol were fairly lined with people importuning senators from the time they left their homes. Mr. Mason replied in vigorous terms. The statement of the senator from Maine us to a "job" showed. Mr. Mason said, that he was absolutely devoid of Itiormatlon. It was moreover an Insult to the postmaster general, who had recommended the plan. If the streets were lined with persons importuning senators Mr. Mason said he had j.ct seen them and he thought few other senators had. When Mr. Hale made a point of order that a committee had not parsed on tho amendment the advocates cf he extension quickly circulated a call for a meeting of the committee on postofnees end the ses sion closed with Mr. Wolcott's humorous announcement of the committee meewng in response to the Imperative demands made on hlrn. Mr. Depew, in replying to Mr. Butler, said the watres naid by European conti nental railroads was only about one-fourth of the rate of railway wages In this coun try, while the freight rates in this country were only a little more than one-fourth of what they were in Europe. "Does the senator mean." inquired Mr. Butler, "that the American railroads are losing money?" "I do not mean to say they are loslrig money," responded Mr. Depew. "I mean to say that If they had anything like the rates charged for freight in continental Europe they could carry the malls free and. In addition, pay a large revenue to the government." "No railroads In the world have larger profits than those of the United States," asserted Mr. Butler. "The capitalization of railroads In Europe," responded Mr. Depew, "Is much larger than it is here. In Great Britain it is about $30,G0O a mile. If that capitalization be reduced to the average capitalization in the United States jou will ftnd that the profits of the English roads are enormous." Mr. Wolcott said, as to European railroads carrying the mails free, that in Great Britain the cost of railroad mail transportation was little less, if any, than it is here. In continental Europe the government, he added, either owned the railroads or guaranteed the payment of the principal and interest of their bonds, and of & or 6 per cent, dividends on their stock, whether they earned it or not. The amendment offered by Mr. Butler, making an aggregate reduction of about 9 per cent, in the railway mail pay was rejected is to 51. The detailed vote follows: Yeas Bate. Derry. Uutler, Caffery.

In obedience to the call made on Senator Wolcott as chairman of the committee on postottices. while Senator Mason's pneumatic tube amendment was under discussion to-day, the Coloradoan called a meeting of the committee after the Senato aiJourned to consider the amendment. The committee was in session for half an hour, and, falling to reach a decision, adjourned. CITY DEFRAUDED. Milwaukee Said to Have Been llohbcd by Sleane of Forged Certificate. MILWAUKEE. Wis., Feb. 20. The Sentinel to-morrow will say; "Evidence has been brought to light which shows the city of Milwaukee has been systematically defrauded for years. An investigation, conducted for the past two days by City Treasurer Ballow shows that the city has been defrauded out of a sum which Is estimated anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000, and it may even 00 greater. Tho manner in which those implicated have operated was either to raise the amounts of city certificates given to contractors for work clone or to Issue fraudulent certificates, sometimes In the name of living contractors, sometimes in the names of men who have been dead for years. The names of the members of the Board of Public Work3 and the city controller were forged to these certificates. The discovery was made through an accident. A representative of one of the trust companies which has been loaning money on city certificates came into the city treasurer's office with some orders. They fell Into Treasurer Ballow's hands, and he immediately discovered they wero not genuine." STRANGE NEWS FROM UGANDA. Xntlvft Pay Taxes In Snakes and Deasto Ignorant Dvrnrf. LONDON, Feb. 20.

F. H. HAMILTON GUILTY

REPORTER CONVICTED OF MA!SSL.l;ilTi:il IN' FIRST DUGRCC. Warn Charged with Killing Leonard II. Day in n Hotel Saloon Ilraivl nt Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 20. The Jury in the case of tho State of Minnesota ngalnst Frank II. Hamilton, charged with murdering Leonard R. Day, after a forty hours' deliberation, furnished a surprise by coming into court a few minutes before 10 o'clock this morning and reporting that it had agreed on a verdict of manslaughter lr. the first degree, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. The Jury had been out so long that hope of agreement had about been given up. The Jury informed the deputies at 9:13 that it had agreed, but it took half an hour to arrange the preliminaries. Hamilton was brought into court to hear the verdict. He had enjoyed a good night's sleep and seemed In excellent spirits. When the verdict was announced Hamilton appeared dazed, and made no other sign than to shake his head In mute protest. Ho was remanded to Jail to await sentence, and absolutely refused to see any one except his devoted friend. Miss Johnson, of Colorado Springs. His attorneys at once moved for a new trial, but no date was set for hearing the arguments. When tho prisoner reached the Jail he said to Jailer Alexander, with a despairing gesture: "They've found me guilty, captain, but I do not deserve It. The penalty for the crime of which he is convicted is from five to twenty years. mit WATTKEE Wis.. Feb. 20. Starr K. Jakson.'cTerk at the Hotel Pilster. In this city, who was one of tho witnesses for the defense in the Hamilton murder trial at Minneapolis, was almost staggered when he received a telegram from a . friend in Minneapolis informing him of the verdict. He believes Hamilton an innocent man. and makes implications of hidden evidence "There are two men in Minneapolis who. it 11 .i.i . u -.tvi riiiiii rlpnr Hamilton, he satd.

There is something mysteri ous about the trial, one 01 me siaie unesses testified that he first jnet Day but a week before his death, while I know positively that the two men lived in the same hotel for five years." The Moser Murder Case. PEKIN, 111., Feb. 20. The defense in the Moser murder case received its first setback to-day. The State placed on the stand Henry Hoffman, a member of the Amlsh Church, and the defendant's attorney, upon cross-examination, tried to secure from him an admission that Moser had been ostracised by the Amlsh members because of violating the church regulations. The State objected to the question and the court sustained it. This is taken to mean that the vast amount of evidence which the attorney for the defense lias accumulated concerning the Amisn faith will not be admitted. As the defense depends on this evidence to show cause why Moser should have been Insane vhen he committed the crlne, it i3 maintained by many that a verdict of guilty is already assured. Several other witnesses wero on the . stand, and some letters written uy Moser, in which he admits his guilt, but charges the Amlsh. through separating him frcm his family, with being responsible for tho murder, were also introduced by the State. Kennedy's Trial Nearly Over. NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The hearing of testimony in the trial of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy for the murder of Emeline Reynolds, was concluded early to-day.

Mcllvllle, the plumber and steam lifter, who had to be brought from Jacksonville, Fla., testified. He told of the visit of Detective Sergeant Smith and Detective Carey to his shop, and told of cutting three pieces of lead pipe for the visitors. He said that after Carey and Smith had gono he missed a piece of heavy lead pipe. On cross-examination he said he did not testify at the last trial because he was not subpoenaed. The witness would not swear that Corey or Smith stolo the pipe. Testimony was concluded this afternoon, and then Melvllla was fined $25 for contempt of court in leaving the State while under subpoena. A Little Girl's Horrible Crime. STEPHENSON.
