Mr. CLEAvEs of Oxford moved reconsid-

that the joint rules and orders of last Year be
adopted, and offered an amendment adding
the following words ''with the exception OF
so much of Rule LIST as refers to appropria-
tons" s. Al - ST
Mr. LANE asked for an explanation in re-
gard to the matter.
Mr. CLEAvEs said joint committee was
created last year to report on appropriations,
but, on consultation with other Senators, he
thought the committee wholly unnecessary as
most all of the work that could come before
them belongs, propery,7to other committees.
If such a committee fully perform their duties
all matters relating to appropriations would
come before them, making their duties very
laborious and taking the work from other
committees.
Mr. LANG did not think the committee nee
essary but would refer all matters which had
come before it to the appropriate committees.
Mr.. LINDSEY said the committee on appro-
priatons was raised for the purpose OF ex-
aiming the proposed appropriations recon-
mended by the various committees and revise
if necessary, so that the aggregate would not
swell to such large amount that it could not
