HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March IS.
After prayer, the speaker stated
that he had yesterday submitted the
question to the house whether Tues
days journal should be read before
Monday S journal had been approved.
lie thought that it would be just
and equitable to submit similar
question to the house relative to the
reading of Wednesdays journal.
Mr.. Wood IN. " said that dur
ing his experience in this house
he had seen the house many times
involved in difficulty similar to the
present one and in each case a.
struggle had been amicably ad-
iusted. In view Of the past two
days, he thought the time had ar,
rived when the members, as sensible
men, desirous of continuing their
legislative labors, should pause and
come to some amicable adjustment
upon this question. He held that
his position was not entirely in
sympathy with either side of the
house. He hoped, however, that
both sides would agree to propo>
sltion which he wished to make
namely, that the journals of Mon.
day, Tuesday and Wednesday should
be approved, and that, Immediately
thereafter, without debate, the house
should vote on the following resolu-
ton:
"Resolved, that the committee
on revision Of laws be discharged
from further consideration of the
bill, and that it be referred to the
committee on ways and means"
Mr.. Blackburn (Ky.) inquired
whether the proposition carried with
1t the right to call for a division of
the proposition.
Mr.. Wood IN. " replied that
there were two distinct propositions,
but he hoped the gentleman from
Kentucky would not embarrass the
