and spcss briefly upon ihe question, aud con.
eluded BY moving ali amendment.
DR.. DUNCAN again took the floor, and was
recognised by the Speaker.
Messrs HARDIN and DICKINSON raised d
question of order, and denied the right of the
member from Ohioto speak again upon this ques-
ton, but the Chair decided otherwise, and that
when an amendment was made changing the
features of bill, member might speak a
second hour upon the amendment.
Mr.. SCHENCK suggested that member
might then speak an hour, and at the end Of that
time himself move an amendment, which would
enable him to speak another hour.
The majority refused to sustain the call for the
yeas and nays, and DR.. Duncan proceeded with
his stump speech. In the course of his remarks
the DR.. exhibited diagram of coon displaying
the entrails, upon which he made some profess
sional remarks. Several Of the old banners Of
1910 were introduced by the Dr., by way Of illus
tration of his speech.
MIR. CLlNGh1AN, of N. c.. next got the floor,
and moved an adjournment; which was carried
by division.
