WASHINGTON, April l7th.-When the new Chinese
bill was brought up to-day under suspension OF
the rules Willis of Kentucky took the moor IN CRU
cism of the measure and from the conclusion OF ms
speech till adjournment the body was most OF the
time in uproar and confusion, which was started
when Page who was entitled to fifteen minutes for
debate, instead OF consuming that time, asheu ioi
vote.
He had no sooner declared his intention not 10
speak when Rice of Massachusetts, claimed the noor
to speak against the measure, out WAS no. Ieeos
nized by the Speaker who stated tna1 ne nau no'
recognized Willis as opposed to the DILL as Ihat gen
tleman had demanded second on the original mo-
ton. ,
an amendment fixing the term OF suspension at
fifteen wears but was met with storm OF objections
from the Republican side.
Then Springer and Kenna sprang to their feet,
demanding as matter of justice that Rice should
be permitted to speak against the measure, and
heated collOquy ensued between henna and the
Speaker as to whether kenna had risen to paria-
mentary inquiry, and as to his right to debate it,
Roberts OF New jersey entered the discussion,
which was being carried in excited manner,
and he WAS greeted with cries OF Order from the
Democratic side.
Kenna asserted his right TO speak. and declared
that the Chair shall not deny to that right, to
which Humphreys of Wisconsin replied that such
bluser was unnecessary, as there had not been any
right denied anybody
The Speaker stated that he would listen to the
| gentleman from West Virginia, but that gentleman
had not proceeded far when again arose loud cries
| OF Order from the Republican side, while Hum
phreys angrily exclaimed directing his remarks to
| Kenna, Set him down."
There was great deal of angry feeling shown on
| both Sides which led Kenna, locundly, to request
| his Republican friends to have patience, and no
| blood would be she'd
Randall of Pennsylvania at this point took excep
ton to some remark of the Speaker, and was recog
nized to make explanation but had started In to
| make speech.
| Then Valentine of Nebraska called " Order" and
the call being taken up by other Republicans, Ran
dalls remarks inaudble, and in d cided tone
| he exclaimed that he would be heard.
Valentine contended that this remark was unpar-
| liamentary and asked that it be taken down.
| The Speaker-The Chair will state that he did not
| understand that the gentleman from Pennsylvania
would be heard in spite OF the Chair.

Morse of Massachusetts,. The last named member

ternoon, ard nearly succeeded in preventing any
action the Chinese bill for several weeks by the
interposing of all the seventeen committees, each in
turn to refer it from, taking advantage OF todays

and Labor to offer the Chinese bill The earnest
personal appeals had the desired effect, for only five
of the seventeen commit ees maze use OF their
privilege, and the Chinese bill was brought before
