TO the sundry civil Appropriation bill.

Point, Potomac river. MI Rogers, OF At

Sneaker said that he wished to submit q
Mr. Cannon made the point that debate
was not in order The Speaker was at
first inclined TO sustain this point, but after
a br;ef debate IN order TO save time he
recognized Mr.. Cannon to move the pre-
vious question. Against this Mr. Rogers
protested. saving that this was the second
time that the Speaker. after having recog-
nlzed him, had summarily taken him of the
floor. The Speaker thought that he had al
WAYS treated the gentleman with politeness
and respect The Chair had not recognized
the gentleman for debate. When the gen
tleman rose. of course the Chair could not
tell what he rose for until he stated it.
"soyE OF THE CHAIRS BUSINESS"
Mr.. Rogers suggested that when no one
was occupying the tioos ana gentleman
rose and was recognized, II was none OF
the Chairs business what ne was recog-
nized for.
The Speaker: The Chair respectfully
states that it is the Chairs business IA
Speaker of the House,
Mr. Rogers: The Chair arrogates that
right.
The Speaker: The Chair arrogates. no.
thing. The Chair acts as Speaker OF the
House. He has always endeavored TO act
towards the gentleman with entire fairness
and respect.
Mr.. Rogers: II is difference of opinion.
The Speaker: II is difference of opin-
ion which this House can and does base It's
judgement on.
Mr.. Rogers: have no doubt about that
and have no doubt what the verdict Is.
Inc speaker: L nave DOt eitutI.
Mr. Rogers remarked that that was one
point on which the Speaker and he agreed.
The previous question was ordered
yeas 1903, nays 64--on non-concurrlDg IN
the Senate amendment. Noquorum roted.
A motion to adjourn was made and voted
down and call of the House was ordered.
This disclosed quorum and further pro-
ceedlngs under the call were dispensed
with. The remainder of theafternoOn was
consumed in vain attempt to secure the
presence of quorum, and without disposing
of the bill the House ~ $3.50 took recess
until 8. the evening session to be for the
consideration of private pension bills.
The list of absentees is daily growing
larger. and although the Democrats look
upon it with feeling of equanlmlty; the
Republicans, who are responsible for legis-
lation, regard it with impatience. They
feel that they are entitled to the attend
ance of their colleagues in order to con-
troll the business Of the House.
