quorum was present. The speaker directed
the doorksepers to notify the members in
the committee rooms that their attendance
was required In the House, but even this
movement brought into the chamber but
eighty-hve members.
A call of the House was ordered. The
call disclosed the presenos OF 1853 members,
and the House waited patiently for ten
minutes, until the three absentees necessary
to make quorum reported themselves to
the clerk.
Mr.. Brosius moved that all further pro-
ceedings under the call be dispensed with.
The oppopents Of the "lard" bill, led by
Mr.. Mason, ordered the yeas and nays, IN
| order to consume time The motion was
agreed to by vote of 146 yeas to 81 nays.
The clerk then proceeded to read the
journal in the usual abridged form, when
Mr.. Mason demanded reading in extenso.

bers voting on one Of the roll calls yester-
day the clerk omitted the reading of the

| that the clerk was not reading the roll calls
from the journal, but from the Record. On

was read from the original tally sheets.

precisely one hour, and thea Mr.. Dlngley
Of Maine moved its approval, and on that
motion demanded the previous question.

vote Of 106 yeas TO 56 nays, the clerk noting
| q quorum.
| Mr.. Turner of New York again set out on
| his task of consuming time, taking as his
| text the Cannon resolution of yesterday.

voice, he was unable to proceed for more
than ten minutes in denunciation of the
resolution when he ceased and yielded TO
| Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey, who heaped
denunciation aud ridicule upon Mr.. Can

edge, and his love for the farmer.

session.
Mr.. Cannon rose to reply. He admitted
that he was not great statesman, and also
admitted the superiority of the gentleman
from New Jersey in that respact. His
friend abounded in one thing, and that was
wind and under pressure it went out.
| Loud laughter1 There was instantly great
| confusion and disorder in the hall.

the words to go upon record as a speci-
men of Mr.. Cannon's vulgarity.
Mr.. Caruth of Kentucky suggested the
propriety of clearing the galleries of ladies,
while Mr.. Enloe was clamoring for recogni-
ton on a question of order.
Again Mr.. McAdoo shouted out TO Mr..
Cannon: "If you can afford to let that go
stable Jockey wit ] can afford TO
have 1t there. l cannot indulge in black
guardism with you. You ought to argue
with a stable jockey; that is your size."

| point Of order and demanded that the
words be taken down.

and the clerk proceeded to call tho roll on

were heard when Mr. Mason, coming down
