THE SPEAKER EXPLAINS,


Tho Dignity of the House Marrel by the
Frequent chickering's.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In the House
the Speaker made statement of his posi-
ton. The debate, he said, while nomi-
nally upon the approval of the journal,
had really been upon the propriety of
certain rulings. He did not think the
frequent chickering's of the past few days
added to the dignity of the House. The
business of a legislative body was to
legislate and not to permit it's legisla-
ton to be wantonly Interrupted even by
motions ordinarily proper. He explained
thus fully that the ground of his action
might be understood, and sincerely
hoped that there would be no further
personal matters connected with it.
Mr.. Mcmillan reminded the Speaker
that under the rules his motion was
one which could not be made more than
once.
The Speaker replied that the scenes of
disorder yesterday were sufficient to
satisfy every member of the justice of
the action of the Chair. He sincerely
hoped that these scenes of disorder would
cease.
The journal was approved by rising
vote.
