Mr.. Swami Md moved that the House adj
JOurn- lie thought some respect should be paid
10 the anniversary of the birthday of Washing
ton. There was not a State Legislature in ses-
zion upon this day, and he did not think Con-
greSs should be in session.
The motion was rejected-yeas 20; nays 103.
On motion OF Mr.. Dawes, the House resolved
Itself into Committee OF the Whole, and resumed
the consideration of the legislative appropra-
lion bill, the pending question being upon the
amendment of Mr.. Arnell to make appropria-
lion for the Department of Education, and to
strike out that clause of the bill which abol-
ishes that Department.
The amendment was debated at length pro
and con. The principal advocates OF the meas
ure were Messrs- Arnell, Sargent, Roots, Hoar,
Garfield and Kelley. The opponents were
AIessrs. McNeeley, Beck. FaTnswOrth and Law
renee.
The amendment was adopted.
The House then ordered debate to be closed on
all paragraphs down to what related ~ the PEN
sion office, and this enabled the Committee of
The Whole to get through with three pages, and
the Committee rose.
The Speaker appointed Mr.. Hale (Maine) a
member of the Committee on Elections, in
Place OF Mr.. Beaman, declined.
The House then, at 4:30 y. M, adjourned.
