hON 1hE hONSE lOph II.
Instantly as the morning hour expired
hush fell on the House and the noise in
the galleries ceased. All eyes were turned
upon Mr.. Morrison, who rising in his seat
said:
''Mr. Speaker, l move that the House
resolve itself into a Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union for the
purpose of considering revenue bill"
Mr. Mckinley, Of Ohio, "And on that
demand the yeas and nays"
During the roll call absolute silence
reigned in the House and many members
with pencil in hand were figuring up the
vote.
MeSsrs. Morrison and Randall were ap-
parently among the least interested mem
! bers, each leaning back in his chair within
q few feet of the other, while now and then
a pleasant remark was exchanged between
them
The motion was lost; yeas 14S, nays 154.
The announcement was received with some
applause ON the Republican side, but it was
quickly suppressed.
Naval Reorganization Bill.
Mr.. Herbert Ala. attempted TO call up
the naval reorganization bill, but was an
tagOnized by Mr. Crisp, with the Pacific
Railroad funding bill, and the speaker
ruled that the question must first be taken
on calling up the latter measure aS il was a
prior special order.
Mr.. Springer opposed the measure. He
wished its consideration to be postponed
until after the holidays At which time
he hoped to have the privilege of submit
ing some remarks upon the bill, and per
hapS some amendments toit. If its con-
SideratiOn was pressed at this time he
would resort to all parliamtenery methods
TO debate it.
On a standing vote there was majority
of IL to 40 in favor of its consideration.
Mr.. HalmOn demanded yeas and nays,
pending which Mr.. Springer made n tili-
clustering motion TO adjourn, which at 2:lj
was carried, its opponents not having
sufficient force to order the yeas and neys.
