WASHINGTON, July 29-Mr. Cannon,
of Illinois, from the committee on ap-
propriations, reported q joint resolu-
ton providing temporarily forsuch OF
the expenditures of the government as
had not been provided for by the ap'
preparation bills which have already
become laws. Passed. The House
then went into committee OF the whole
on the Senate amendments to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, the pend
ing amendment being one appropriate
ing S25O,OOO to enable the secretary
of the treasury, public printer and 1T,
chitect of the capitol to acquire lane
necessary to provide additional accom-
mediation for the government printing
Office. Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee
moved concurrence in this amendment
pointing out the unsafe condition OF
the present building. Mr.. Cummings,
of New York, also advocated concur
renee in the amendment.
Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, said that ne
was in favor of suitable buildings fol
every executive department Of the gov.
ernment, but he rose tu speak on the
question of public buildings as repre-
sented by the unfinished calendar OF
the House, upon which were IS bills
passed by committee of the whole
MAY go, not one of which had been per-
mitted to be considered by the speaker
of the House. He wanted to say (and
he regretted that the speaker was not
here to hear him) that he felt it an out
rage on the judgment of the House
that any one, be he speaker or member
should undertake to say that the House
should have no opportunity to carry
out that judgment.
He had been a member Of Congress
for more than seven years, and he had
labored earnestly to discharge his du.
ties. lie represented Sioux City, Ia.
twice during Democratic ascendency
in the House, had the Democratic
speaker to recognize him to move the
passage of the bill for the erection OF
a public building in that city, and
twice bad the bill passed. II had been
the pleasure of the President to veto
the measures. He (Struble) wanted to
say of Speaker Carlisle that he had
never asked for recognition from that
officer he had not been treated that
courteously. He wanted to place in con-
trast with the kind treatment OF Speak
er Carlisle the treatment of the present
speaker, not only towards himself but
towards other members of the House.
If the speaker had not sneered at them
and ridiculed them, he had come near
doing so. democratic applause.]
The members had been treated as
boys by the gentleman who presided
over the House. He did not propose to
stand this sort of treatment any long
er without protest. Democratic ap-
plause.l Should the members continue
to submit like towards to the dictation
of the speaker of the House, OF should
they not combine in an honest attempt
to have recognition at the hands of the
speaker: Democratic applause. He
was for rebellion against the ruling of
the speaker in regard to public build
ing bills.
Mr.. Cannon advised Mr. Struble that
he had better have withheld his attack
on the speaker, and Mr.. Perkins de-
Tended the speakers action, contending
that it was in line with the action of
former speakers.
Mr.. Struble said the statement that
the members with public building bills
had not been fairly treated was fact
that he alleged before the House and be-
fore the country. He said that the work
of this House during this session had
been grand work. He would go from
this hall and argue that this House had
done grand work and had passed many
bills for which it was entitled to the
gratitude of the country, but that did
not deter him from protesting against
the indignity put upon him and other
members, and during the last admin
istration bills were approved for pub
lie buildings in the South in places OF
1000 inhabitants and yet the Sioux City
bill had been vetoed. That was passed
and gone now, but, as he had said be-
fore, the speaker of the last House had
never failed to give courteous treat
ment to the members Of the Republl-
can side. Democratic applause. IT a
few members on the Republican side
OF the House had received courteous
treatment, he and many others had not,
and he did not hesitate to say so.
Mr.. McClammy, of North Carolina,
in a one-minute speech, expressed his
pleasure at being in company with his
distinguished brethren, Stru5le, Ewart
and Coleman. This was feudal day,
and he was glad to enter the lists. This
was the time when you could speak
with your mouth open. Laughter
One month ago he would have been
glad to have shaken hands across the
aisle with Brother Struble. Laughter
But this was no time for regret. He
was glad to know that the occasion
had arrived when the gentleman could
have the courage of his convictions.
IReneWed laughter, which broke out
louder when Mr.. McClammy alluded to
Mr.. Struble's failure to secure a re-
nomination by speaking of the beautl.
full tones of the dying swami
Mr. Richardson's motion TO concur
was lost-49 to 59-and the amendment
was non-concurred ID. The next
amendment which gave rise to discus
sion was that appropriating SSOO,OOO
for the purchase of a suitable site for a
building for the Supreme court, east of
the Capitol and opposite the new IL
brary site. The amendment was nom
concurred in. The committee, having
concluded consideration OF all other
amendments, recurred to the considera-
tion of the irrigation amendment,
which had been laid over temporarily
It was agreed that the debate on this
amendment should be limited to four
hours, and the committee then rose
and the House, at 4:50, adjourned.
Too Much Cllloral.
