WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Mills Of
Texas, as privileged question, offered
concurrent resolution providing for a
holiday recess from December %, 1890, to
January 5, 1891.
Mr. Dingley of Maine moved its refer
ence to the committee on ways and means;
agreed to-126 to lis
Mr. Dunnell of Minnesota then called
up as privileged question the apportion-
ment bill and briefly explained its pro-
visions. The bill appeared, he said, in
response to the requirements of the con-
stitution and was based upon the eleventh
census, which showed a gratifying in
crease in the population of the United
States
There was diversity of opinion among
members of the house as to whether the
present representation should stand or
whether it should be increased. Some
difference of opinion had also been shown
in committee, but it had finally deter
mined to accept $3.50 as the proper num-
Der. This number had been selected be-
cause it had been found to be the number
first reached between 1872 and 1875 that
would secure to every state at least its
present representation. With 1856 mem
bers the ratio of population would be
173, 901. If the present representation
were retained many states would lose one
or more members. Mr.. Dunnen having
concluded his general remarks he gave no.
tive that he would call the previous ques-
tions at O'Clock this afterdoon.
A long debate ensued, in which several
representatives supported and offered OBJ
jections to the resolution.
The hour of 5 o'clock having arrived,
Mr.. Dunnell demanded the previous ques-
ton.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia interjected mo-
ton to adjourn, and during the progress
of the vote the democratic members took
their hats and overcoats and left the hall,
showing a disposition to break a quorum
on the next vote.
The motion to adjourn was lost-yeas
118, nays 145. At the suggestion of Mr..
Blount of Georgia, it was agreed that after
two hours debate tomorrow the previous
question should be considered, as ordered,
and the house at o'clock adjourned.
