tlon was the vote on sustaining the decision of
the chair ruling that the lard bill was un-
finished business
Mr.. Enloe CTenn. made the point Of order
| that today had been assigned to the labor COM
mlttee. The hog had knocked out the negro:
now he wanted to see whether it would knock
| out the workipgman.
The Speaker declined to rule on the point Of
| order, stating that the very question which the
| House was about to decide was whether the
lard bill was unfinished business.
Notwithstanding the protests of Mr.. Turner
| (N.Y.) and Mr.. McClammy (NC.) the Speaker
directed the clerk to proceed with the roll cali.

| THE CANNON RESOLUTION AGAIN.
| The question Of the Cannon resolution was
again brought forward by personal explain a.
ton from Mr.. Williams Qll). one of the gentle
men mentonedin i'll the preamble. He said that on
Tuesday he had remained in the House until 8
O'Clock, when he had been called home on ac-
| count OF sickness in his family and when he
| had been excused by the House.
CALLED TO ORDER BY THE SPEAKER.
He was then proceeding to comment upon
MIR. Cannon's action as member OF the COM
mittee on rules, when he was called to order by
the Speaker, who requested that he confine
| himself TO the question of personal privilege
Mr.. Cannon-Let him go on; he does not hurt
anybody.
The Speaker replied that it was not a aues-
| tion as to whether anybody was hurt or not; it
| time. Z
IL ANOTHER sPAT.
| MIR. Williams-I was only going to say that
| the gentleman from Illinois could not be hurt
after the proceedings Of yesterday. Demo
cratic laughter and applausc.l
| MIR. Cannon-It is scarcely proper for the
| gentleman to make that remark. Yesterdays
proceedings appear in the Congressional
Record officially and l am not afraid OF yester-
days proceedings. am only afraid Of lies out
side of this chamber
Mr.. Williams-What do you mean by that
expression?
Mr.. Cannon-I mean exactly what say.
Continuing he said that what had transpired
Iectionable matter appeared in the
Official record without the crossing
OF or the dotting of an i, and in the pres
ence OF the American people he was willing to
be tried by the record. and objected to being
| tried by lies outside of this chamber.
| Mr.. Enloe-I challenge that statement.
| Mr.. Williams said that while it ought
TO he a pleasure to his colleague to send out
| his resolution for publication he had
received his full reward. and he (Mr. Williams)
would not, If he could, add additional punish
ment to that which he had already received.
democratic applause.l
| on THE BLACK LIST.
Mr.. Boatner Ua.), rising to q question of
personal privilege, said that he had been in
cluded in tho black list. He had temporarily
absented himself for the purpose Of breaking a
quorum and for the purpose OF defeating
a bill which he could not properly charac-
| terIze in parliamentary language. Con-
sidering that bill as blow to his
! constituents which could not BE
| defended on any democratic or constitutional
principle, he considered 1t his highest duty to
undertake to defeat it by any means short of
| absolute criminality
TO CORRECT AN IMPRESSION.
| Mr. \ xbot
rect an impression that had grown out out of
remark made few days ago
that the gentleman from Iowa DIr.
ing certain evidence from the Post Office De-
partment He did not intend that such a con-
struction should be put upon his words.
OUGHT TO BE THERE.
He did not know whether his name was upon
the black list. II not, it ought to be there, for
he had absented himself several times to
avoid making quorum, and he had no
apology to write for it. He had had no oppor-
tunity of appearing before the committee on
agriculture to be heard on the bill. On this
| account he had made the best fight against the
measure that he could; and as was defeated, he
accepted defeat as every man ought to ac-
ceptit.
Mr.. Funston (Kan. said that the gentleman
from Illinois had been heard by the committee
| on the COnger bill.
MR.. MASON ADMITTED
that he had been heard on the original Con-
ger bill, but not upon the bill which had lust
passed.
Mr.. Henderson Qowa) suggested that the
gentleman had discussed the whole lard
question.
Mr.. Mason said that he had discussed some
portion Of the question. but that he
had had no opportunity to dis
cuss the new elements Of the bill
This lack Of opportunity was carried by q rule
known to the republican party alone-and the
rule was all right, for he had stood by it
but sometimes it was hard to take your
own medicine. uaughter.l He had made up
his mind when the medicine was prepared
for him to make as lively q job
OF kicking as he could, and he
had made that kicking. He would not apol-
ogize for 1t, and he would make no further ex-
PLANTATION except to his constituents.
