, consent.
Mr.. Fort-I understood that had tho
consent of the committee to make a

| amendment to the original bill If
have that privilege, desire to eycr-
else it.
Mr.. Speaker-The control OF the sub.
ject is IT, the hands of the gentleman
from Ohio. The chair has given every
facility to the gentleman from Illinois
which he was capable of giving him,
by fixing the status of his bill as pro
posed amendment The chair has not
, the power to take from the gentlemen
from Ohio Ewing the right to amend
the previous question.
Mr.. Burchard-How will it be if the
proposition to recommit be voted down,
Mr. Spcaker-Then the bin will be
before the house.
The motion to rccommlt was agreed
to without division, and Mr. Ewing
moved to reconsider that vote, his 90
iect being thus to get control of the bill
and be able to call it up at any time.
Mr. Conger moved to lay the motion
to reconsider on the table.
Mr. Speaker-Thc vote on that mo-
ton will be "A practical test Of the sense
Of the house.
Mr. Springer-Thc gentleman from
Ohio has entered IA motion to rcconsid
er. Has he not the right to call up that
motion at any time?
Mr. Spcakcr-Where a motion to re.
consider is entered in the morning houl
it has been the practice of the house to
allow reconsideration to be called NJ
in the morning hours. The Chair thinks
however, that the more equitable mode
would be where a ball is reported in the
morning hour and motion to recon
slider made, to allow that motion to be
called up i'll the house after the morn
ing hour. Otherwise, the morning hour
might be occupied in that way each day
to the exclusion of its regular business
The gentleman from Illinois tSpringer)
is aware That the practice here
tofore has been 10 allow
motion to reconsider to be entered
