Enloe rising to question of personal
privilege, said pending the call of the
house, he had started out of the house
without his hat, to attend to business in
the capitol. In passing out OF the door, the
door-keeper told him he could not pass
out. He replied he would pass out. The
door-keeper thereupon attempted to
arrest him. He offered resolution to
bring the door-keeper to the bar of the
house for contempt of the house, and for
breach of the privileges of member.
The speaker, I'M ruling upon the ques-
ton, said the rights and privileges of all
members of the house in the discharge
OF their functions were sacred. The
chair thought this was question which
ought to be passed upon by the house.
The rules of the house made provision
for the obtaining and retention of a.
quorum. In order to accomplish that,
the rules of the house required that
whenever call was ordered, the door
should be closed. Such closing of the
door, in the opinion of the chair, pre-
vented any member from leaving the
chamber. The speaker had issued no
order in regard to the matter, but in re-
sponse to question of the doorkeeper
as to the meaning of the rule, had stat
ed; to be his opinion, and the door
keeper had acted upon it, always subject
Of course, to the decision of the house.
AS this resolution raised a question
which must be disposed of by the house,
the chair ruled it to be admissible.
The resolution was referred to the iu-
dietary committee.
The house then proceeded, under spe-
cial order, to consideration of the senate
amendments to the Indian appropria-
ton bill.
Dockery commented upon the extraor-
binary rule which took the senate a.
mendments out of committee of the
whole, and provided that the house
should vote in bulk upon the 101 amend
ments.
Perkins approved the resolution and
defended the speaker from attacks made
upon him.
The vote then recurred on the motion
to non-concur in the senate amendments.
This was agreed to, rnd the house ad-
journed.
