gized for the remark which be had made
while smartlng under the chRracteri "a tion
OF Mr.. MoAdoo, and which he had not in
tended in the sense which had been placed
upon it, but he had thought it legitimate to
criticlse the action of the New
Jersey gentleman since he has
been a member of the House, having
in mind that during the last congress he
made speech against the Mills bill and
had voted for it, ana thinking that he was
somewhat noted for talking one way and
voting another. He Mr.. Gam n),made the
remark he did, and he Thought tae remark
from that standpoint was apt.
CHANGES THE SUBJECT.
Mr.. Cannon then proceeded TO argue in
favor Of the speedy passage of the lard bill.
One thing he felt rested upon every mem
Der. and that was to keep a quorum here.
This bill was in such parliamentary posi-
other business could be done during the rest
of this session of congress. Until it were
passed or defeated, and under the grace Of
God, 80 far as his vote and voice were con-
cerned, as one member, no business would
be done until this bill was killed or passed
by vote Of the House. Applause on the

Cannon, had made what he called
an explanation, but what he (Mr. McAdoo)
and those around him construed as an addi-

minutes IN which to reply. Consent was
given, but at the speakers request, Mr.
MeAdoo withheld his remarks for the pres

On sustaining the decision the House was
once more lett without quorum.
