In the house on the 18th the Journal hav-

Its approval on the ground that the clerk
hadpot read it in full. The clerk, pro-
ceeding, read that portion which discloses
the reference Of the silver bill to the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures.
During the reading Messrs. Mills and
Mckinley remained standing, anxious to
claim recognition. The latter was success
full. and he moved that the journal be ap-
proved. Upon this he demanded the pre-
vious question, despite Mills protest that
he was entitled to recognition
to move the correction of the journal. Mr..
Springer, rising to a question of order,
raised the point that the journal contained
the record of something which had never
journal. The speaker replied that it was
Tor the house to decide, and directed the
clerk to call the roll. The clerk pro-
ceeded with this duty while MIR. Springer,
amid the applause of his party col
leagues, entered a vigorous protest, ad-
dressing the speaker and saying: You
can ignore the rights of representatives
of the people, but the people will
pull you down, sir, at the polls next
November with your party with you"
The speaker was lmperturbable, and the
roll call proceeded. The house refused to

The following republicans voted with
the democrats in the negatives: Messrs.
Bartiue, De Haven, Kelly; Kerr of Iowa;

When the democratic applause ceased
Mills was recognized by the speaker. He
offered a resolution reciting that the order
of reference made by the speaker referring
the silver bill to the, committee on coinage
weights and measures was incorrect under
the rules of the house and resolving that
the journal be corrected by striking out
this entry. After a long and heated
discussion Mr.. Cannon moved to table
the Mills resolution. On a standing vote
this was carried-l20 to ITO. On a vote
by ~tellers toe motion to table was lost
