MORGAN to railroad influence" as being
habiHd tbe opposition to the bill, repu-
dated the ipsinuatiOn and said that II was
the idle vaporing of a man who considered

NOT he. he added, a more untayorable
time for such bill, when the farmers al
liances were demanding Legislation whlch
he considered vIslonary-such as loaning
fine money of the Government on real
estate. II would never do TO refuse that
LEGISLATION and at the same time guarantee
a hundred millions of the bonds of COM

on foreign territory and in the employ
ment of Jamaica negroes, Dagos, Indians,
and Cinnamon.

Pending the reading of the Journal, Mr..

there was no quorum present. There being
only 121 members present, Mr.. McMliln,

Several times MIR. Fithian interrupted

numbers of the pension bills passed last
night, and not the titles. After a brief
controversy the Speaker stated that the
Clerk was reading exactly what was fur
nished him by the Journal Clerk. There
had been no time to fill in the titles.
MIR. Springer suggested that this was
not q journal, and Mr.. Wheeler, OF Alabama,
advanced the idea that the House should
take a recess until the Journal was pro-
perly made up. But this idea was not
carried out and the reading was continued.

! and Nr. Mckinley, of Ohio, moved APP

to Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, who stated that
in the Journal he was noted as having been
present and not voting upon two roll-calls
yesterday when lie was not present. DE

left the House in as dignifed manner as

MIR. Clements, Of Georgia, Mr. Blanchard,

Republicans until the Speaker pro tenn.
