 Condensed Report of Proceedings in Sem ate and House.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O-The house was the scene of wild confusion, precipitated by the refusal of the speaker to allow de bate on the question of the approval of the journal. MT. Mills, in very excited man. ner, ran down the aisle and, shaking his fist at the speaker, denounced him as prac- ticing fraud upon the house. But the speaker was immovable and called upon those opposed to approving the journal to rise and, counting "One, two, three," de- clared the motion to approve the journal | carried-97 to 8. Further demonstrations were made by MT. Mills, and the time was consumed until 1 o'clock, when the journal was finally approved.
 During the excitement, and when the yeas and nays were demanded by the Demo crats, MT. Mills again accused the speaker of perpetrating fraud on the house. Re ferring to MT. Mckinley, he said: "We did not expect the gentleman from Ohio to lend himself to such a proceeding, for we believe him an honorable gentleman, and we knew he indicating the speaker) is not" MT. Perkins (Kan.), sarcastically ly-And he Gndicating MT. Mills) is a gentleman. MT. Allen Miss )-That is more than can be said of some persons on the other side. The clerk went on calling the roll, and MT. Mills, ignoring him, proceeded sub stantially as follows: "You do not dare to go before the country with such revolu- tionary measure as you are proposing to pass. We have right under the rule to debate the question of approving the jour- nal, and you (addressing the speaker) are denying that right.''
 MT. Kerr Qa.)-Such proceedings as this are reasonable, and they are headed by man who helped treason before.
 Mir. Mills-You are traitor yourself to the constitution and laws You are trying to surround the ballot box with bayonets, and to deprive the people of their right of representation.
 The house at this time was a bedlam. aisle and, as Mr. Mills went on, repeated with indignation and emphasis one word, ''Bosh!" MT. Mills reply to this ex- clamation was, Bring in another house resolution of censure then" A personal rupture being imminent between these gentlemen on the opposing sides, the speaker was obliged to call upon the ser geant-at-arms for assistance. That officer, bearing the mace in front of him, induced MT. Mills te take his seat, and the storm passed away for the time.
 ASA1NGlON, du. S4.-4 uc uOuSc pS4SScu the day in 8 wrangle and adjourned at 6:15 p. m. without doing any business. The speeches were very bitter on both sides and Speaker Reed was again abused. Dur ing fight over the approval of the journal the speaker refused to recognize Mr. Bland who shouted, "I suppose the speaker in- tends to throttle the senate silver bill either in committee or in the house." There was much disorder, and MT. Bland then read his proposed substitute making the free coinage silver bill a continuous order from and after Jan. 27. He said that he should insist upon that motion until the 4th of March.
 MT. Rogers (Ark.), referring to the speakers rulings, said that the Democrats wanted a fair administration of the rules which the speaker himself had made.
 Whenever you," he said, indicating the speaker, "or any other gentleman, and you especially, because you hold the third high est place in the gift of the people, violate the rules, you are revolutionist. You destroy the dignity of a high station you are called upon to fin.'' (Tumultuous ap- plause on the Democratic side.)
 MT. Henderson Qlls. .eHow much longer is the house to submit to this disorder and Hereafter these insulting words will be taken down.
 The Speaker-The chair desires to say to the house that one reason why he expects in due time that his services to the country will be appreciated, is because of the viru- lent attacks that have been made upon him. the personal nature and character of which this house can understand. The chair has endeavored at all times to ad- minister the rules of the house as he under stands them, and as the house has sus- tai poI hic 1ooicicvc ho oh oip xuS11 nj so to do as long as he occupies the exalted position to which he has been elected by the house of representatives.
 In the senate Wednesday the whole time was given up to discussion of the closure rule, and the elections bill, brought forth through a motion by MT. German to amend the journal wherein it was recorded that a motion by MT. Aldrich on Tuesday that the senate resume consideration of the rule to amend the rules as to limitation of debate
 was determined in the affirmative. MT. German moved to strike out the words ''it was determined in the affirmative" because of it's incorrectness. The vice president said that from his recollection he had not formally declared the vote as carried, al though he had stated that the yeas appear ed to have it. He said he would again sub init the question to the senate. The whole day was passed in wrangling, and when the senate adjourned at one minute of mid
 night nothing had been accomplished. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-In the senate MT. Aldrich moved consideration of his resolu- tion to amend the rules. A point of order
 was made by MT. Harris that the question before the senate was the approval of Tuesdays journal. After an extended de- bate the point of order was overruled and the closure resolution was brought before the senate. Discussion on this resolution continued until o'clock, when the senate took recess until Il o'clock this morning. The day was one prolonged parliamentary wrangle.

 tion bill, but adjourned without action.
