He was determined to record his name against the bill: The debate on the bill consumed.the entire afternoon, during which a large number of members made speeches for add against it. V Mr. Moon of Tennessee led the opposition to the measure. "It is an infernal fraud, designed to plunder the treasury,", he declared.

Clark Uphold Moon's Stand.'The climax came " when Minority Leader Clark declared that a lobby had been carried on "right on the floor of the house" in favor of the passage of the bill. ""It la an outrage to a civilized country." he declared, "this thing of coaxing men, of buttonholing men, and 1 undertake to say that when Mr. Moon of Tennessee denounced this bill as an infernal fraud he used language that he was justified In using." . The debate against the bill was closed by Mr. Cockran of New York. He denounced the sending , of the American flag abroad by a subsidy "as an outrageous concession of the enslaving of - a people through the agency of a government." As their champion the advocates of the bill put forth Representatives Fassott of New York, who was the closing speaker. .He referred to the condition of the battleship fleet on Us return from Us recent encircling of the globe, and that it showed . that Americana could build as good machinery and the co'untry has as "good commanders as any country . In the world. But no tender carrying the American flag went the trip with the fleet he added. V ; - Trade War In Future. ' ' "The wars of the future will not be gun wars." said Mr. Fassett, "but yade wars. They will be wars to get goods to the world's markets. , In that war we cannot choose weapons, but must fight with the weapons of our opponents. We must face facts, not syllogisms."

" Mr ovprRtreet. fn charge of the bill was recognized, and he asked to be pertnrted to change his vote. This would have allowed him to move to reconsider? and have another vote on the bill. The speaker informed blm. that the ote had been announced ana nis re quest came too late. .. i ; ."How many people work in your of flice?" asked the curious member of the group in the smoker, addressing h nroanerous looking elderly man -Oh" said the elderly man, getting up and throwing away his cigar, "I should cay, at a rough guess, about two-thirds of them.' - .
