Under Rule is, new clause has been
| added, that on the demand of any member
the names of members present and not vot-
ing on any call by the Speaker of the yeas
and nays, shall be noted by the clerk, un
der the supervision of the Speaker, and be
recorded 10 the journal Immediately after
the names o. those voting in the affirmative
and ne gatiye, under the head of present
and not voting" and shall be followed b,
the names Of absent members entered un-
der the head of ''absentees." This is in
/ line with the Speakers ruling
| Under Rule Is clause 4 was read When
a question is under debate, No motion shall
be received but 10 adjourn, TO lay on the
table for the previous question, (%hich
motions shall be decided without debate ,
TO pose tpcIe to certain day, to refer or
amend or postpone inde tinitely, which sew
eral motions shall have precedence in
forming order No motion to postpone to
a certain day, TO refer, to postpone indeti-
nitely being decided, shall be allowed on
the same day at the same stage Of proceed
ings This section is aimed at tlibuster
ing, and changes the old section by striking
out of the motions which may be received
those to fix day to viii III the House shall
adjourn and TO take a recess In section )
of the same rule, the provision that motions
to adjourn to a fixed day, to adjourn, TO
take a recess shall always be in order, is
stricken out. Section 10 of the same rule
carries the principle still further, as the
new section reads No dilatory motions
shall be entertained by the Speaker.
Under Rule II tits provided that the pre-
vious question may be made to include
bill to It's passage or rejection. The old
rule included bill only AZ :ar as its en-
gross meut and third reading, aud required
a renewal and the second of motion to
carry the blli through. There is change
also in TIE line of obstruction. The pro-

that motions to lay on the table shall be in
order on the second and third reading OF
the bill is omitted
The principle preventing obstruction is
again put in operation IN Rule Is, which is
amended as compared with the old code,
by striking out of the question that may in
tervene between the motion to reconsider
and vote those to adjourn to a fixed day and
take recess.
Section /, of old Rule 2l, which requires
all bills and joint resolutions read three
times before passing, stricken out. Section
2, same rule. F0rbidding inclusion in
genera appropriation bills OF appropriations
not previously authorized by law or of leg
islation is retained with addition of ex-
ception in favor of such as being germane
to subject matter of the bill. shall b.
deemed necessary in providing for carrying
( on the several departments Of government
1 it shall be recommended by direction of
the committee reporting the bill This
/ clause. allows lbe committee in charge of
the appropriation bills TO add legislation and
/ to limited extent deprives the use OF that
power) Another addition TO the same
section makes il generally out of order to
increase any salary in the appropriation
| beyond the amount authorized by law.
! Rule 2l omits the provisions of the old
( rule forbiddng the ANA CATION Of two
pending resolutions treating river and har

Another important step to prevent Hlii-
clustering is found in Rule %, which has
reference TO the iatroiuction of bills. Tn
