Fithlan and Williams ,.sn spOke
a. scme length about an error in re-
cordlng their names, both stating
mat they were not present during
the roll call.
Cannon replied that that made nc
difference. II the rules could be
evaded by a man stepping out Of the
House n second before his name was
called, the rules amounted 70 moth
ing. The gentleman had been pres
ent, according TO his own showing:
and even ifhe had not, there was a
quorum without him, 30 he Can
nom could not see what harm there
was in moving the aprevious ques-
ton. Ever since the ,lav before
yesterday the republicans had been
TRYING To DO BUSINESS.
This morning the gentleman from
ArE-nsas tRogers) wasted an hour
Seeding the republicans 1t WAS
obvious that the democrats did not
want TO legislate. They did not
want the diplomatic and consular
bill considered. IL was evident II the
legislation was to lie had, the re-
publican representatives must be in
their places and must do the legis-
lating. II gentlemen were absent
on account of sicknsss, he hoped
they would speedily recover and
come back. If they were absent

Republican applause.
McMlllin Tenn. cOntended that
member must be present and
refuse 10 vote in order To give the
Speaker the right TO record his
name. The gentleman from Hi
nois (CannOnl had said the demo
crats did not want to consider the
diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill. That bill appropriated Is
per cent more than the current law,
yet the gentleman having il in
charge attempted TO push It through
after fifteen minutes debate. Against
that democrats protested and the
result was the waste Of time OF
which complaint was maie- Why
should the republicans complain OF
the democratic side, when they had
the responsibility atteIEiing a large
majority, which they mad made
BY QUESTIONABLE METHODS?
II they wanted 10 do business, let
them bring their members hack from
fishing, eleCiioucering and summer
resorts.
Grosvenor fOhio} said that when
the democratic party ohstructed
legislation he did not complain, nor
did he wonder n the present eThE
billion OF Obstructive tactics made by
the democrats Of the House. The
school in which the democratic
party was trained was q school Of
obstruction. II vas totally incUm-

While the county lrad been going
