It was the most remarkable scene In tho bouso slnco tho beginning of the extra session of congress.

If he solidities nis poi Icy of delay." As the clerk finished reading tne Bryan Interview. Mr. Underwood, in calm and even tones, opened the vials of his wrath. If Underwood's attack was remarkable for Its bitterness and vlcor. it was not more so than tho general applause which greeted nis sarcastic references to the Nebraska u ... m leader and his specific and complete denials of tho charges made by Bryan.
