the Committee on Commerce, rising to a
question of privilege, sent to the Clerks desk
and had read the following statement relative
to the passage of the bill to regulate immigra-
ton: Ga the 10Th inst, by unanimous Coz
sent, Reagan, representing the Committee on
| Commerce, moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill. The bill he offered was hand
ed him by Van VOORHEES,. and purported to
b, the bill amended by the Committee on
| Commerce. Reagan and members of the
committee present were misled in regard to
| the bill which was passed, they supposing it
committee. Ths committee recommends and
asks the House to substitute the bill now in
possession of the committee for the one
passed.
Van VOORHEES, OH ected.
McLean commended that as the statement
intimated that Reagan had been imposed
upon. question of privilege was raised. and
| it was Incompetent for an objection to be
raised against the consideration of the bill.
The Speaker took o contrary view.
Page said that without intending to reflect
upon anybody, he desired to state that the
| Committee on Commerce found itself embar-
raised By the fact that wrong bill had
passed the House, and he deemed it just to
the committee that the House should pass the
| bill as it came from the committee.
Van Voorhees-For the last few days the
newspapers have been full Of publications
such as the one sent to the Clerks desk. l
don't blame the newspapers, because the
false articles in them emanated from some
member or members of the Committee on
Commerce. There never was fslser charge
made than that l designed to deceive any
tody in the passage Of the bill. The bill was
of momentous importance to the country.
He then sent to the Clerks desk and had
read as "a specimen brick an article in the
Chicago Tribune, abiding to his action as q
"high-handed on rage"
Continuing, he sal The provisions OF
this bill which is complained of was one of
the highest public concern. ! believe every
patriotic 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.
In concluding, Van Voorhees, made an at.
tack upon Reagan. characterizing his conduct
as sneaking and his accusations inaffable
| meanness.
Hammond Immediately demar dsd that the
words be taken down, and offered resolu-
ton declaring the language supplementary,
and should receive the censure of the House.
Van Voorhees, withdrew the offensive re-
marks claiming that he did not know they
were unparliamentary. whereupon Ham.
mond, with ill-concealed sarcasm, said it
would be cruel in such circumstances to press
the resolution, and withdrew it.
| Reagan then took the floor to reply to Van
Voorhees,. His remarks were very severe ON
Van Voorhees, action.
The House then took up tbs bill to regulate
immigration, and passed it as agreed upon by
| the Committee on Commerce, aad then took
| up the bill to reduce the internal revenue
| taxes.
The House-125 to 60-refused to recon-
init the internal revenue bill, with instruc.
| tons, to the Ways and Means Committee, to
