! Mr.. Page, chairman of the committee on
commerce, risiBg to question of privilege
sent to the clerks desk and had read the fol-
lowing ststement relative to the passage of
the bill to regulate immigration: ION
Monday the 10Th inst, by unanimous consent,
Mr.. Reagan, representing the committee ON
commerce, moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill to regulate immigration. The
bill which he offered was handed him by
Van Voorhis, and purported to be the bill
agreed to by the committee on commerce.
Mr.. Reagan and members of the committee
who presented it were misled in regard to the
bill which was passed, they supposing it to
| be true copy of the true bill agreed TO by the
asks that the house substitute the bill now in
possession of the committee for the one
passed"
aMr. Van Voorhis objected,
Mr.. McLane cOntended that as the statement
| intimated that the gentleman from Texas, Mr..
Reagan, had been imposed upOn,a question OF
privilege was raised, and 1t was not compe
tent for objection to be raised against the con-
sideration of the bill.
The speaker took the contrary view.
Mr.. Page said, without intending to reflect
upon any body, he desired to state that the
committee on commerce found itself embar-
raised by the fact that the wrong bill had
passed the house, and be deemed it just to the
committee that the house should consent to
pass the b Il as it came from the committee.
Mr. Van Voorhis-For the last week the
newspapers have been filled with publications
such as the one now send to the clerks desk.
| don't blame the newspapers, because the
falsehoods in them emanated from some men,
Der or members Of the committee on COM
MERGE. There never was q falser charge made
than that | designed to deceive this body In
the passage of the bill of such momentous
importance to the country. He then sent to
the clerks desk and had read, as specimen
brick, an article in the Chicago Tribune, allud-
ing to his action as high handed outrage.
Continuing, he said the provisions of this
bill which is complained of was one of the
highest public concern. believe every patriot
ic member of the house, If he will read the
bill and examine the authorities and facts will
see that this fourth section ought to be
passed exactly as it IS. The Euening Post said
the other day that if the committee did not
recommend that section it ought to have rec
commended it. There was no motive on my
part. There was no money in it. There was
no politics in it. 1t was simply a question OF
public benefit and puble good. stand here
ready to defend myselH against all Corners.
| do not fear the face of any mortal
man on such question as this. No man can
impugn my veraclty and my integrity and get
out of this house uurebuked. In the conclud-
ing portions of Mr.. Van Voorhis' remarks,
he 1 made rd an attack upon Mr.. Reagan, charac-
terizng his conduct as sneaking and the accu-
sations of the gentleman from Texas as of in
effable meanness.
Mr.. Hammond Immediately demanded that
the words be taken down and offered a resOlu-
ton declaring the language supplementary
and should receive the censure of the house.
Mr.. Van Voorhis withdrew the offensive
remarks, claiming that he did not know they
were supplementary, whereupon Mr.. Ham
mond, with illconcealed sarcasm, stating that
it would be cruel in such a circumstance 10
press the resolution, withdrew it, and Mr.
Reagan took the floor to reply 10 Van
Voerhis.
at the conclusion of Mr.. Reagan's remarks,
which were very severe.upon MIR. Van Voorhis'
action, the house passed, without division,
the bill to regulate immigration as agreed

He was followed by Mr.. Dunnell (Minn. },
who warned the Republican side that the bill
would not meet with the approval of the peo-
pie, and in the course of his remarks, which
severely criticized the measure, made the state
