After having made him the target all day for criticism, with here and there words of commendation, the house of represents tlves Friday night, by a rote of 212 to 35, censured the president by tabling so much of his messages as reflected on members of congress In connection with his recommendations regarding the secret service detec Uvea, and also declaring it to be the senBe of the house that It shall decline to consider any communication from any source that Is not in its own Judgment respectful. "' With feelings of outraged dignity on the part of many of Its members, the house Friday gave itself up entirely to a discussion of its functions as a legislative body In contradiction to those of the executive. The report of the special committee appointed to deal wlfi the language In the president's annual message and In his special mesBage of January 4 bearing on the secret service was used as the basis for some of the most earnest and vigorous speeches ever heard In the history of the ' house. V In expectation of the report there was one of the largest attendance ol members of this season, while the gal larles were crowded. - There was nol a moment during the day that the diplomatic gallery was not fully occupied.

Four boys, whose ages range- - from eight to sixteen years, sons of Christ Lee, near here, were burned to death In a fire, early Thursday, that destroyed the home of Mr. Lee. With the thermometer registering 22 degrees below zero, Mr. Lee, his wife and three small chll dren who escaped from the fire, started for the nearest neighbor's tinine, a mile distant, clad only in their iitght clothes and with bare feet. Mrs. and two of the children collapsed when a quarter of a mile from the neighbor's house and the husband was compelled to carry the three.

Declaring president had been actuated by motives of malice and revenge In attack ing his course in connection with the Coos Bay, Oregon, land grant, Senator Tillman of South Carolina, from his seat in the senate, on Monday, made reply to the accusations of the chief executive. His speech was read from manuscript and was a choice mixture of argument and invective. Mr. Tillman rose to a question of personal privilege immediately after the conclusion of the morning prayer, and as his Intention had been widely advertised, he was greeted by an audience which filled every seat in the galleries. From the first the senator received most careful attention. Senator Tillman's health is such that be concluded not to attempt any unusually severe language in his y to the president. He said, how ever, preceding bis speech, that his friends were counting upon the denunciation of the chief executive, and would have no occasion to complain If they rould be patient, for he expects to find other opportunities before the close of the session to pay his respects to the president, when be promises not to disappoint. A peal of laughter was called forth when Mr. Tillman declared that he tad not known that the executive's hide had been so greatly stung by the darts be had sent at him at various times when he had criticized him In the senate. When he suggested that doubtless the president believed "the pitchfork had gone out of business," another roar of laughter was called admon-Ibhe- d forth and the the galleries that applause of any kind was not permitted In the senate, and if persisted in would necessitate the clearing of all galleries. In addition to his speech, which had been printed in advance, Mr. Tillman had prepared other brkf remarks, which he read. "It has been expected and desired," he said, "that having made my own defense, I should direct my batteries on my assailant I do not feel that my strength Is sufficient for the double task, for my physicians have warned me against overtaxing myself. One of the truest and best sentiments in English literature is this from Tennyson: "'Soiling another will never make one's self clean. "The president lives In a glass house, with even a glass floor in It, end should remember the old adage. He has exerted all the power of the government to destroy me, but I feel that I stand unscathed, because, if all other arguments fall to convince men, the character for rectitude, truthful-reu- s and honesty which I have build-e- d In sixty-on- e years of my life would at leabt be my bulwark. Men who have always been clean and honorable do not suddenly become liars and hypocrites at 61 without any necessity." re-rl- Henry Gardner, of Utah County, Pre sldea Ovor Senate, While E. W.
