tsrmned, and Mr.. Weaver moved to take

before the reading Of the journal, but the

moved an adjournment until Monday, but

4
out Of order, holding that a motion to post
pone was the only motion which could put
aside the report or permit an adjournment.
There was some filibustering on the vote on
a motion to order the previous question
When the previous question had been
ordered, Mr.. Weaver asked whether a
motion to adjourn until Monday would be-
In order. The speaker thought not, but ex-
pressed some doubt Of the correctness OF his
own ruling
Mr. Weaver suggested that the doubt
should be resolved IN favor OF the rights OF
| tho minority.

TO resolve the doubt In the interest Of the
transaction OF the public business of the
house, and he has therefore done so on this
occasion. lApplause)

struction Of public building at Omaha,

tion, the house considered and agreed to the
report

ference report Mr. Weaver raised the ques-
tion Of consideration Further points OF
order were made and ruled upon, and finally,
without accomplishing any further legisa-
