Washington Feb. I. A scene ot the
vildi si. and most intense excitement oc-
curred in the house at the conclusion of
the debate on Mr. Hitt's Hawaiian reso-
lution today growing out of a personal
difficulty between Mr. Breckinridge of
i iitucky and Mr. Heard of Missouri
in which epithets like: "Impertinent
i'UPi y" "Coward" "Scoundrel" "Liar"
v civ b:. adicd. One blow wns struck when
iriewis interposed and the sergoont-at-anns
in rested the participants and brought
. them to tne bar wliero Mr. lirecKinnuge
in the course of an explanation practically
challenged Mr. Heard and demanded per
sonal satisfaction. As well as the tangled
events can be. unraveled the encounter
occurred in this wav:
Mr Heard who was in charge of the
District of Columbia .business cut off
Mr. Breckinridge who was attempting to
address the house on the Hawaiian reso
lution by demanding the previous ques-
tion on the adoption of the resolution
Mr. Breckinridge turned immediately
around from the side aisle in which he
was siunding to the tier of seats where
V.r. Heard was located and hot words
followed. Mr. Breckinridge protested
aguiust what he called Mr. Heard's rude
ness. The latter declared he was otdy
doing lis duty. As the voices of the
i'oiuliMuen rose members rushed thither.
"Impertinent puppy" shouted Mr.
lire l inridgo.
"Liar'' hissed Mr. Heard. '

from his forehead Mr. Breckinridge
arose attempting to control himself.
Mr. Breckinridge began his apology in
humble tones. "No one." he began "can
regret 'more than I that any personal i
difficulty should occur on this floor. But
when I thought I had been taken off the
floor I went ta Mr. Heard and said to
him that he could not do business in that
way. He replied that that was an in-
solent statement that I was an imperti-
nent scoundrel.
"He said I was a liar interposed Mr.
Heard.
..IT lln.l ..... lln. ' Wi.ttf nn Ml

Breckinridge ignoring the interruption.
"I ought not to have resented it Mr.
Speaker no coutinuea turning xin ine
chair "but. as a. Mississippi judge once
said the lie is an assault an in spite of my
white hairs I could not restrain myself.
1 apologize to the speaker and to the
house to the gentleman. I will say." he
said as he turned squarely to Mr. Heard
his voice raising in defiance "I will say
that the lie cannot remain between ho and
1."
As Mr. Breckinridge took his seat
the meinebrs gasped breathlessly await-
ing the reply.
Mr. Heard also arose lie appeared to
be calm but he was also evidently labor-
ing under great excitement. Not once in
his long congressional career he began
had he been einbrolied in a personal con-
troversy on the floor of the house.
Mr. Ueard then explained the situa
tion. Today he said had been set apart
for District of Columbia business and
be had felt it his duty when the opposi-
tion leaders of the Hawaiian resolution
had finished their statements to demand
the previous question. Ihe gentleman
from Kentucky had then hnrried over to
him and stated in a tone which he re-
garded as an insult that the house would
do no business 'today. He had thereupon
demanded the yea and nay as he deemed
it his duty to do whereupon the gentleman
from Kentucky in language most offen-
sive had called him nn insolent and im-
pertinent something.
"He followed" said Mr. Heard his tem-
per rising "that statement with practi-
cal assault on me. He called me a scoun-
drel." "If I said that I withdraw it" inter-
rupted Mr. Breckinridge with nn earnest
ness that struck some of the members as
ludicrous and they laughed heartily.
"I did not think I said it" continued Mr.
Breckinridge.
"And I believe he did say it" said Mr.
Heard.
"After my disclaimer the gentleman
still insists 1 said it" retorted Mr. Breck
inridge again liaring up. "I withdraw
it he does not reserve."
Air. Heard instantly denied that he in
tended to question Mr. Breckinridge's ve
racity hut stated that he meant tnnr in
his excitement the lrcntlcmnn from Ken
tucky had forgotten what he did say."
"I slated" he continued "that the gen-
tleman lied. Upon his withdrawal of his
offensive epithet I will withdraw mine
but not before. I believe I have done
nothing which it was not my duty and
right to do."
Mr. Heard was also applauded when he
took his seat.
This ended the wordy combat and in the
absence of a motion which might have
boon made to reprimand the principals in
the affair the house proceeded with the
question before it. and the excitement
soon subsided.
APOLOGIES MADE.
Washington. Feb. 1. The encounter
between Messrs Breckinridge and Heard
will not eventuate in bloodshed. The in-
terference of friends of both parties
Messrs. Goodnight and Berry of Ken-
tiickyTtFting for Mr. Breckinridge and
Mr. Dockery and Mr Hatch for Mr.
Hoard an amicable adjustment of the
difficulty was arranged. These gentle-
men went carefully over the official re-
port of the words uttered and each said nn
apology would tie siuisuiciory io men- pi n-
cipals. Accordingly just ln-fore 5 o'clock
when the house took a recess Mr. Heard
arose and read a type-written statement
to the effect that a careful examination
of the words uttered made it evident in
the opinion of his friends that after Mr.
Breckinridge disclaimed the use of the
language considered by him (Heard) offen-
sive he (Heard) said he should have with-
drawn what he had said. Mr. Heard said
he thought he had done so but his friends
said he had not.
"t eonsiiler it my duty to do so now.
said Mr. Heard "and now withdraw what
I said."
Mr. Breckinridge arose and accepted
the olive branch of peace. "I ought not
to have gone to the desk of the gentle-
man" said he. "and have made the state-
ment I did. It was porticulurly unfortu-
tnnto cnnsiderinir the 'nnst friendship
existing between that gentleman and my
self. 1 express my i-egrui in uns m

sically. I say to the house and to the
gentleman that l exceedingly i-egn-i iu
has occurred and crave their pardon.
The house applauded Mr. Breckinridge
heartily as he sat down. ...... nn
At the request of Mr. Goodnight the en-
tire colloquy was stricken from the rec
ord. ...

A Bond Issue Supposed to Be .he Only

York Bankers on the Ground
Other Notes of Interest.
Washington Feb. 5. Tn
cibinet was
iu session today from uel.v 10 o'clock
until after 2:43 o'clock. It is understood
that almost the only s lbic-.-t of discus
sion was the pending 'iond issuo Sev-
eral prominent New Y'oi-k bankers are
here among them being Piernont Mor
gan and while they have not seen either
the president or Mr. CarPsl; it is under-
stood that their views on the situation
were conveyed to the president today.
No authoritative statement of the char
acter of the cabinet discussion can be
made but it is believed that no final
action has been determine J upon. It is
understood that negotiations with repre-
sentatives of London bankers are in prog-
ress with indications of an early con-
summation. There is no longer any ex-
pectation of a popular loan to be placed
in tins country as in that event the ex
perience of the last few months would be
peated and the gold reserve again de-
pleted. The purpose of the administra
tion it is understood is to place the en-
tire ssue of bonds with Loudon bankers
some.
Tyt
who would pay for them in London gold
and thus avoid for the present nt least
the necessity for paying out gold in ex
change for legal tenders.
While no detinue conclusion bus been
reached it is believed that the announce
ment of the sale of the bonds will be
made at an early date.
TUN rUKSIDEXT'S VETO.
Washington Feb. u. The president
has vetoed the bill appropriating $130
for the relief of II. W. McUonnell post-
master at Jacksboro Texas. The veto
is based on an error in the name which
should be l P. McConnell and also on
the fact that the amount appropriated
is too large by .$42.
FOll A NATIONAL PAKK.
Washington. Feb. ". James Tanner
commander of the Union Legion has is-
sued an address to the Legion urging on
the surviving veterans of both armies
their vigorous support of the movement
to have the government secure for a na-
tional park the batik-held of Appomatox.
SrUAK BOUNTY CLAIMS.
Washington Feb. 5. The committee
on claims of the senate today decided to
report the sundry civil bill providing for
the sugar bounty claims of last year
without making any recommendation or
committing any members to the support
of the proposition in order to allow it. to
come before the senate. It was this fea-
ture of the committee's action which .Mr.
Mitchell explained to the senate today
when it was objected to by Senator
Harris. The amount involved iu 1ho
claims is estimated at !j:.SUI)l0t)0.
GOLD UESEUVE.
Washington Feb. 5. Today's state-
ment of tn condition of the treasury
shows: Available cash balance $14:1-

NO NEWS OF THE CONCOBI).
Washington Feb. 5. Neither nt the
state department nor at the navy depart-
ment has there- come any word from
rhina in confirmation of the reported cap-
ture by a Chinese mob of some of the
ollicers of the United States steamer Con-
cord who accidentally killed a native
while on a shooting exiiedition. This lack
of an official report has strengthened the
belief"of officials that the story was cither
without foundation or else much exagerat-
cd. Had the matter been nt all serious
the commanding ollicer of the Concord
would have been obliged by the naval reg-
ulations to report the event immediately
to his superior officer Admiral Carpenter
n-lio. in turn would have reported it to the
navy department or if the admiral was not
within easy communication it would have
been the duty of the Captain to have re-
88$
ported directly to the navy department.

YORK.
that the improvement of affairs in Ireland
was duo to the conciliatory policy of the
ast three years. This improvement had
been continuous for some years past prior
to the advent of John Morley. Ho ridi-
culed the legislative program of the gov-
ernment as a farce which was not meant
to pas. Ihe position of tho government
was so curious that ho hoped that some
authoritative member would move nn

ing a tribute to tho memory of Lord Ruii-

n i that the government intended to loy-
ally carry out its policy in alrcadv an-
nounced. 'J he government believed the
permanence of tranquility in Ireland de-
pended upon u wise system f s-lf govern-
ment. They would therefore co.'itiiiue
to pursue that great end and would labor
to carry into effect a phiti which shoi!d
be satisfactory to the Irish people. In
regard to the bills mentioned i:i tlimpieen's
speech Sir William declared he did lot
despair of carrying either the Irish hind
lull or the local option bill.
Justin .McCarthy said he believed that
the improving condition of Ireland was
due to the Irish people w ho now felt that
they had strong friends iu (ireat Britain
and had great hope from tho support of
the people of Great Britain. He trusted
that the government would consider that
the time had come for extending amnesty
to the Irish prisoners. That would be
accepted as an additional proof of the
desire of the government to terminate
the memory of past struggles and would
enable Ireland to enter upon a new and
better era. Something should be done
for laborers in Ireland and there should
be legislation in regard to Irish land
which would tend to relieve the agricul
tural depression iu Ireland where de
pression meant starvation.
Charles Howard Vincent Conserva-
tive moved an amendment to tho ad-
dress in reply to the speech declaring that
steps would be taken to remove the
treaty obstacles to a customs union be-
tween the different parts of the empire.
Sydney Buxton replied in behalf of
the government lie said the queen s
speech at the closing of the hist session
of parliamnt referred to the Ottawa
conference and therefore any further
reference was considered needless on
the present occasion but the government
had no intention to slight the colonics.
The colonial office was deeply indebted
to the Earl of Jersey for the great tact
with which he had conducted the con
ference.
The government had given the matter
attention and proposes to take action on
one point during the present session. Th"
government intended to introduce for that
purpose during the present session a bill
that would meet with such approval that
t'i
it would become a law. As' to whether
S. nder treaty obligations could
prevent inter-colonial fiscal arrangements
he could assure Mr. Vincent that so far
as the opinion of tho government tbn'
hud been given wen those treaties would
not prevent England from giviu prefer-
ence treatment to her colonies against
foreign nations. In view of the state-
ment made by Mr. Buxton Mr. Vincent
withdrew his amendment.
