The House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The journal of
Saturdays proceedings having been read
in the House today, Mr.. Crisp, Of Geor-
gia, objected to its approval on the ground
that II states that the gentleman from West
Virginia (Ilogg) entered motion on Sat
urday to reconsider the vote by which the
previous question was ordered on the
Thoebe-C Carlisle election case. He thought
that there WAS some mistake about that.
The gentleman from West Virginia had en-
tered motion TO reconsider the vote by
which the Perkins resolution, re-opening
the case, had been defeated, but the chair
had declined to entertain it. The gentle
man had not entered the motion TO recon-
slider the vote by which the previous Qucs.
ton had been ordered.
The speaker pro TEN. stated that his
recollection was in conformity with the
statement in the journal.
Mr.. Hogg stated that when he moved 10
reconsider the vote on the substitute the
speaker had stated that the motion would
not be in order until the vote by which
the previous question had been ordered
was rcconsidered. lie tllogg) had said,
then enter that motion"
Mr.. Crisp thereupon withdrew his objec-
ton, and the journal was approved. Mr..
Crisp demanded the regular order.

scnted rs the country had already re-
liected upon the minority party OF the
House.
The interview was read at length. In il
Mr.. Crisp criticised the action OF the rep
rcsentativcs for refusing to vote on the
Carlisle case.
Mr.. Dibble, Of South Carolina, rising TO
: point of order, contended that the mat
ter was not privileged one. Besides this,
there was now pending before the House
question Of high' privilege affecting the
right OF a member 20 his seat, and until
that question WIS settled the House could
not take up and settle n question OF lesser
privilege.
, The chair ruled that the extract did not
allege that any member was influenced 10y
, corrupt or improper motives and there
1 fore did not present a question priv
, ilege. The chair was also ready 10 rule
|. that where there was q question OF the
highest privilege pending in the House he
would not entertain any other question OF
, privilege.
