ment was adopted providing that nothine
herein contained shall commit the United
States to the improvement or maintenance o.
Mississippi river levees.
Money, Mississippi, desired to speak, but
Hiscock refused to yield.
Mr.. Money thereupon, under the loud rap
ping Of the speakers gavel, stated it was I'M

most nearly affected by the bill should have nc
time to discuss it.

Ter said sharply: isH the gentlemen think
they can impose on the house and chair in un

rules of the house, the chair will take pains
to reprimand them ct least"
The bill then passed as amended and the
house resumed consideration of the Chinese
bill.
Mr.. Page. Gala, addressed the house and
characterized polygamy as the twin barbarism
of Chinese immigration. After remarks by
Rice, Mass, in opposition consideration OF
the bill was suspended.

He was not allowed to proceed further.
The speaker called him to order and said:

The speakcr-The chair also wants to be un.

sires to state if the gentleman rises for the
purpose of making any correction the chair
will, but If he rises for the purpose of passing
any criticism on the chair, the chair will take
occasion to call him to order.
Mr.. Money! rise in my right as member
of this house to protest against the language

Here Money was again interrupted by loud
cries of order on the Republican side and by
continuous rappings of the speakers gavel,
while Camp of New York and other Repub-
licans demanded that the words spoken be

renee.
The Speaker-The chair will order that the
sergeant-at-arms see that the gentleman now
preserves order. The gentlman will be seated.
The chair will state again he has no de-
sire to be oppressive in any sense upon
any member, but when any gentleman insists
upon making speech out of order, the chair
feels himself bound to call him to order. If
the gentleman from Mississippi desires to
he said, the chair will recognize him, but will
not recognize him for the purpose Of making
an assault upon the chair out of order. (Ap.
plause on the Republican slde.)
Mr.. Money! am not Directing to the ac-
| ton of the chair in calling me to order. For
half minute, or minute, was out of order,
| but under no rules of the house has the chair
authority to reprimand or punish any member
of this house.
Mr.. Hiscock-Tne gentleman is not in or.
der in putting the speaker on trial here and it
is not in the line of privilege in here and now
arranging the speaker.
The Speaker-The chair will state the gen.
tleman from Mississippi is recognized for the
purpose of making any explanation with re-
gard to his own conduct, but beyond that the
chair holds he is out of order and insists on
exercising his right as presiding officer in see
ing the gentlemen is in order.
Mr.. Money! recognize the speakers right
to preserve order, but rise as matter of
privilege in justice to myself and to the
house, to call the attention of the house to
the fact the speaker has reprlmanded men,
Der of the house. That is a breach of the
privileges of tie house and desire to put it
on record.
The Speaker-The gentleman violates the
privilege given him now.
Mr.. Money! have been advised by perhaps
the best parliamentarian in the house that
have the right to rise to question OF priVi-
lege, and that it was due to myself and to the
house that this matter should be stated.
The Speaker-The chair still recognizes it's
right to preserve order in the house and when
the gentleman insisted on speaking as the
chair then believed out of order it was duty of
the chair to preserve order.
Mr.. McLane-I understood the gentleman
to rise to question of privilege and submit
| to the chair, he must be allowed to state his
question of privilege and that the chair must
submit it to the house to pass upon it.
Mr.. Speaker-The gentleman from Mary
land rises to parliamentary inquiry. The
chair understands the gentleman from Miss
| issippi rose to question of privilege, but
| that this question only extends to vindica-
| ton of himself and in no sense to a violation
of all rules of parliamentary law by assailing
| the speaker by criticism.
Mr.. McLane-The chair misunderstands my
inquiry. 1t was not parliamentary inquiry.
l rose to a question of privilege and that ques.
| ton is the right of the gentleman to speak. l
| have most perfect respect for the chair and
| will not utter word inconsistent with that
respect.
Here there were loud cries of "Orderh on
| the Republican side, which led Tillman of
South Carolina, to suggest, ironically, that
| Malone was member of the house.
| Mr.. McLane continued-"While have this
respect for the chair have also some respect
for myself, and when / find the gentleman
from Mississippi called to order by the gentle
man from New York, Camp, and taken to task
by the speaker, neither the gentleman from
New York nor the speaker recognizing that he
took the floor on question Of privilege, |
rise to question of privilege and that is that
it becomes the duty of the speaker to submit
that question to the house."
The Speaker-The gentleman is mistaken.
Mr.. McLane, (drYly)-Wcll, would like to
know how.
