approval OF the Journal and demanded
the prcvicus question.
ihe Previous question was ordered

Messrs. Fithian and Williams then
spoke AZ some length about tho error in
recording their names, both stating that
call.
Mr Cannon replied that II made no

second before his name was called and
Stepping back after II had been called
tho ruIe amounted 10 nothing. The
gen tisman had been present, according
70 his own showing, and even " no was
.ot there, there was quorum without
MIN. 70 he (Cannon) did not sec what
harm there was In moving the previous
question. Ever since before yesterday
tho republicans had been trying to do
business. This morning q witty gen
tieinnn' from Arkansas had wasted an
hour scolding tho republicans. II
was obvious that tho democrats
lid not want TO legislate,
They did not want the diplomats
and consular bill considered. 10 was
evident that II legislation was to be had,
tho republican representatives must DO
IN thsir placos, and must do the lcgis-
lation. II gentlemen were absent on
account OF sickness, he hoped thcy
" they wore absent by leave OF tho
house. he was satisfied that they would
resurn. There were important bills to be
passed. There were wrongiully In this
house members not entitled to sit here.
and tho republicans owed 1t TO them
selves 20 scat men who were entitled TO

Mr.. McMillin. OF Tennessee, coutended
thnt a member must be present and re-
fnse TO vote. in or,ier To give the speaker
tho right to record his name. Tho gen.
ticmsn from Illinois Cannon had said
that the democrats did not want TO con-
slider tho diplomatic and consular ap.
proprlaiion bill. That bin appropriated
10 per cent moro than the current law,
yet the gentlemen having II in charge
attempted to push II tn rough after n ifteen
minutes debate. Against that the
democrats protested, and the result was
a waste Of time, OF which complaint was
made. Why. should tho republicans
complain OF the democratic side when
large majority which they had
made BY Questionable methods? II
they wanted TO do business let
them bring the members back from
tho "nshing election ring and summer
rcaorts."
Mr.. Grosvenor, OF Ohio, said that
when the democratic party obstructcd
legiAiation he did not complain. nor did
he wonder at tho present exhibition OF

the democrats trained was u school OF
obstruction. II was totally incompe-

said IL was no matter what the country
wanted. Hc was right, The country

assistance. Send for the republican
members, II something Is needed here.
