rect the Record, stated that on Satul-
deg during Mr.. Diugley'5 speech on the s'-
vsr conference report, be bad asked the

meaning that the time had expired. The

expired. This did not arpearin the Record.
He did not know whether it was the fault
of the reporters or the editor of the Record.
He did not wish to be put in the attitude OF
being Ignored by the Speaker.

have been reported.

portunity. he honed that the gentleman
would not be so excited In favor of the rail
road as to buldoza himself Ia hls (Mr. Mill
