A message was read announcing the
non-concurrence of the house in the action
OfSthe senate on Ehe internal revenue and
tariff Land asking a conference in which
the house should be represented by five
conferrees.
Mr.. Morrill, moved that the senate in
sist on its action and agree to confer
ence. He SAID he would ask for the ap-
pointment of as many conferrees on the
part of the senate as the house should ap
point on its part.
Mr.. ingalls, asked Mr.. Morrill, how he
proposed to have the conferrees appointed.
Mr.. Morrill, said they must, of course,
be appointed by the chair, but if he (Mor-
rili) had the making of the appointments,
he would name three Republicans and two
Democrats
Mr.. Ingalls, Selected without reference
to their opinions on the subject of tariff. |
Laughter
Mr. Morgan said this tariff question in |
its present shape was not privileged, and |
he would object to consideration of Mr.. |
MorrilI's motion to-day.
Mr.. ingalls, said he would like, before the !
question on agreeing to conference was
put, to have read the names of the confer |
rees who we're to be appointed on the part |
of the senate. He understood the names
were in the hands of the chair and asked !
to have them read, as his action in the |
matter would be very much controlled by |
the knowledge thus to be obtained.
Mr.. Hawley called Mr.. ingalls, to order,
and said his remarks implied discount

Mr.. IngallS-Well, Mr.. President, before |
this thing is voted upon, I propose to
know into what hands the bill is to |
be confded, and as l understand
the conferrees have been selected and the |
names written down and sent to the presi-
dent of the senate, l want to know who
they are; and shall not take lessons in
courtesy from the senator from PenAsyl-
vania
Mr.. Hawley-The senator from Connect
icut will offer some valuable lessons to the
gentleman from Kansas. Whether that
senator will avail himself of them is an
other question.
Mr.. Ingalls-The senator can be as i'm
pertinent as he pleases here, but he cannot
be outside.
Mr.. Hawley-Anywhere
Mr.. Hoar said that as the senate had not
agreed to the conference at all, much less
ordered the appointment of a committee
OF conference, if any senator had given
the chair list of persons whom he desired
appointed as conferrees, that was a private
communication between the senators.
The president thought Mr.. Hoar was
right, and said in answer to Mr.. Ingalls,,
that ever since he had been in the senate.
whenever committee of conference was
to be appointed on a revenue bill it had J
