tuition OF both houses OF Congress, declare TINS ses
sion closed sine die
A hurried leave taking among Senators and
employees followed and half an hour later the
chamber was totally deserted.
HoUsE-While the clerk of the House was
reading presidential veto on the pension
bill, the Presidents assistant secretary, Mr..
Pruden, appeared at the north door of the
chamber with message in his hand. When
he announced the Presidents approval of the
deficiency, civil sundry and river and har-
Dor bills, there was round of applause, and
the gloom which had settled upon members
by reason of the rumors that were rife that
the river and harbor bill had been vetoed
was dispelled.
Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania received
unanimous consent to have printed in the
Record a speech upon the tariff bill intro
duced by him; and resolution was adopted
providing for the printing of $500 copies of
the adverse report of the Committee on Ways
and Means upon the same measure.
Mr.. Baker of New York, rising to a per-
sonal explanation, referred to the introduce
ton by him of the preamble and resolution
arraigning the Democratic party on Monday
last. In Characterization of that resolution
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ran
daily had stated that in his judgment it was
AAANOSOAAo
from Texas (Mr. Reagan) had also character
lied it in language which the facts hardly
warranted, and it was due not only to the
House, but to himself, that the resolution
should be embodied in the Record in order
that it might appear whether it justified the
language used. It had been furthest from
his thought and purpose to propose anything
to the House that should be disrespectful or
lacking in decency. He therefore asked that
under the circumstances the resolution might
be printed in the Record.
Mr.. Caldwell, of Tennessee, objected.
The House having agreed to final adjourn
ment at 4 p. m. to-day Messrs. Morrison,
Randall and Hiscock were appointed ON the
committee to notify the President.
Mr.. Baker then took the floor on ques-
ton of privilege, and as part of his re-
marks had the resolution read in order to
thus secure its publication in the Record.
Several efforts were made by the Demo-
Gratis to prevent the reading of the pa
per, and during one of the Interrupt
tions Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia. declared
that the paper contained statements which
were false upon their face. When the docu-
ment had been about half read Mr.. Bland, of
Missouri, raised the point of order that it was
to the House, and asked that
the Speaker rule the paper out of order.
This the Speaker declined to do, on the
ground that the question of disrespect was
one which must be decided by the House,
and that before the House could decide upon
it the reading must be concluded.
From this decision Mr.. Bland, of Missouri,
appealed, and, upon Mr.. Blount's motion
to table the appeal, raised the point of no
quorum.
After an hour had elapsed a quorum was
obtained and the appeal was laid on the ia
BILE. Unanimous consent was then given to
the printing of Mr.. Barker's resolution in
The Record. This action restored harmony,
The Republicans having insisted that they
would not give way until the printing of
the resolution should have been agreed to,
and on motion of Mr.. Springer the adjourn
nent resolution, with the Senate amend
nent fixing the hour of adjournment at 4 p.
n to-day, was taken up and concurred in.
The Senate bill was passed appropriating
IN additional sum of $35, 200 tor the site for |
he congressional library. The bill was |
passed accepting the gift of the Grant relics. |
The House then took a recess for half an |
hour. After recess Mr.. Hiscock moved to |
BASS under a suspension of the rules the bill |
regulating the duties on tobacco wrappers. |
He spoke until nearly o'clock.
The next few minutes were. consumed in |
IN effort to secure consent to have the ma
GRITTY report on the tariff bill printed in the |
Record. Exactly at four o'clock without any |
remarks Speaker Carlisle de- |
Jared the House adjourned sine die.
