WAsu1NGroy, juno 24.-The dull monotony of
proceedings III the House was relieved to-day by
amusing personal explanation by Mr.. Singleton, Of
Mississippi, who is chairman of the Printing Com
milee.
1t appears that Nh. Glover has written threaten
ing letter to Nh. Singleton. Now everybody in
Washington knows because Mr. Glover has himself
said IT, that the report which he wants the House
t. print is not the complete report of the cOul-
mittee of which ne was the chairman. but Is
a document which he has cut and fixed TO
suit himself. 1t is said, the same competen;
authority. that, whereas the original report re-
fected seriously on the Official conduct of number
of prominent Democra 5. the report which Mr..
Glover now wants printed is free from any
such objections. MIR. Glover charged Clerk
Adams with wilfully and unawfuliy suppress
ing the report which he said the last
House ordered printed Such an order Was
made, but a motion was entered 10 reconsider. and
that motion was pending when Congress adjourned
At the beginning of the present session Clerk
Adams submitted the question as 60 his duty III the
premises 10 the Committee on Rules, and that
committee unanimously sustained the position he
had taken.
Before beginning lis explanation tins morning
Mr. Singleton caused the Clerk 10 read a newspaper
paragraph taking him TO task for neglect OF duty.
