WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-Thil
wns Ohio's day IN tho House. McKinle,
and Butterworth both spoke on the
question Of the appeal taken yesterday
by Crisp, OF Georgia, from the Speakers
decision, and both added fresh laurels to
their regulations. The scenes on the
floor to.duy, while not 80 exciting as
those OF yesterday, wero sufficiently in.
tercsting to furnish entertainment 'to
the crowded galleries. Democrats arc
becoming accustomed to having them.
selvesrecorded as present and not voting,
and confined themselves largely to dc.
nanding yeas and nays in their effort to
prolong the contest and wear the Re.
publicans out. A roll call of the yeas
und nays requires about half an hour
aud there were many OF them TODAY.
but every time the Republicans carried
their point and in the end Crisp's appeal
was laid on the table.
Tho battle began on the question TO
approve the journal. This took two
and half hours, and it was half pust
two o'clock before Mckinley began bis
speech on the appeal. 1t was by all odds
the finest effort in every way OF the six
speeches made. Every point made by
Carlisle and Crisp the day before was
completely answered. He demolished
their constitutional arguments by going
back to debates on the adoption OF ths
constitution, showed that the Speakers
position as to the minority was 'becom-
ing common in most prominent State
Legislatures all over the country and an.
nounced that the time had arrived in
Congress for doing the couutry's bust
ness as it should be done. Democratic
leaders attempted. to confuse him with
questions. A spirited crosstire OF cues.
tlons and answers was INDUCED in be.
tween Carlisle and himself, but each
and every one was completely discom.
flied, some OF the Democratic small fry
being disposed Of so quickly and thor
oug hly that even their own side laughed
at them.
Turner, OF Georgia, followed. He was
evidently not at his best or the subiec,
was too much for him. His argument
was labored and long drawn out, con.
tanned no new points and provoked no
applause. "". 5-
Butterworth concluded the debate.
His speech kept the House alternately
laughing and cheering. He swept from
under them the last planks left to the
Democrats, and concluded by souelch-
ing one unlucky Democrat who was
hardy enough to suggest that the House
had no rules. "Yes, it has," said But
terworth, "and you have discovered it,"
Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, rushed to !
the front once, with his mouth, and de-
livered bombastic harangpe on sup
posed point Of order, which it afterwards
his side was trying to sustain,
Springer, Of Illinois, objected in and out
OF season, and Bland, Of Missouri, fur
nished the fire works which exploded in
vain. The Republicans are MS deter.
mined us ever. They will see the fight
through no matter how long it takes.
Tomorrow the principal question will
be on Dalzell's original motion.
