HOUSE.

The House resumed as business Of the morning
hour, the consideration Of the bill to repeal and
annul the laws relating to the transfer of cases
from State to Federal courts.
The Republicans refused to vote on the demand
for the previous question, thereby blocking bust
dess. Various propositions were thereupon sug-
gested on both sides but none were acceded TO-
Mr.. Frye (Rep Me,) wanted the bill referred to
the Judiciary Committee and Mr. Harris (Rep.
Mass) wanted the Republicans Ia case that mo.
tion was voted down. to withdraw dilatory mo-
tons and 6libustering
Mr. Conger (Rep. Micb.) took exception to the
use of offensive epithets and objected to any fur.
ther statement by Mr. Harris.
Mr.. Garfield (Rep o. declared that all that was
wanted on the Republican side was to have a fair
chance for debate, but that was cut Off by the de-
msnd for the previous question. He thought 1t
better to have the time used In debate than vast
ed in such attempts.
Mr.. Wood Dem. N. Y )suggested thatther were
other committees that desired to max reports in
the morning hour, and that they were prevented
doing so by this bill blocking the way. He was
willing there should be full debate and wanted
to know how much time would satisfy the other
side.
To that Mr.. Garfield replied he could not fix any
time.
Mr. Harris-Name the time and you shall have
it.
Mr.. Conger-I will name the third Tuesday Of
January, daughter
Mr.. Frye remarked that the bill affected every
large corporation In the country and should be
considered by the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Cox dem. N. " was willing to have vote
fab hut 4
in case Of It's being voted down there should be no
more dilatory proceedings The Republicans de
clined to enter into any such arrangements and
Mr.. Cox exclaimed then we cannot trust you"
Finally as all efforts at compromise failed and as
the Republicans declned TO vote there was call |
of the House. The call of the House consumed |
the morning hour and the bill went over without |
action until Saturday next
THE SILVER DEBATE
Consideration was then resumed of the Warner
Silver bill and the House agreed to the committee
amendment to the bill, which provides that Ger.
tacateS of deposit shall be in denominations of
not less than FIVE dollars instead Of ten dollars as
originally provided in the bill.
The question then recurred upon the next com.
miItee amendment providing that certificates Of
deposit may be computed as part Of the lawful
money reserve Of National Banks. After some
collOquy 1t was agreed debate should be allowed
on the eighth section.
Mr.. COnger Rep. Mich) opposed the amend
ment and called attention TO the danger Of allow.
ing National Banks TO count as part Of their legal
reserve, the certificates provided for in the eighth
section, twenty per cent Of which mightbe Issued
beyond the coin and bullion In the Treasury. BE
them as fiat" certificates
Mr.. Buckuer (Dem. Mo- asked Mr.. CongeE
whether be would have any objection to the pro.
vision If that part as to twenty per cent addition.
al were stricken out,
Mr.. COnger replied that II there was such an op.
to amend the section 1t would remove
that objection.
Mr.. Bucker-We propose to do that.
Mr.. CoDger-That shows the folly Of moving the
previous question on the section.
Mr.. Warner expressed his willingness to vote
for an amendment to strike out that twenty per
cent provision. !
Mr. CongeF expressed his satisfaction at witness.
