he was tired of the foOlishness of ballOting
all day, and proposed to vote for an ad-
journment when there was no chance of
reaching anything decisive. The colloquy
was still in progress when the Speaker an

the Speaker to give him the craftsmanship
of the committee on mine and mining. and
he even goes so far as to threaten not to
