HOUSE

THE RUSSIAN RELIEF RESOLUTION.
The Speaker pro tenn. having laid before the
House Senate joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to transport contribu-
tons Tor the relief of the suffering poor OF
Russia, Mr.. Blount Of Georgia asked that it be
anything was to be done il was easy to be seen
| that it must be done at an early day. He there
| fore further requested that that committee
have leave to report at any time. To
this Mr.. kilgore (Tex) objected and he con-
| tended that the resolution, under the rules,
came under the Jurisdiction Of the COMMITTEES
| on appropriations and that it should be re-
| ferred to that committee.
The Speaker pro tenn. thought that, in the
| absence Of rules, the House could dispose OF
the resolution as it saw fit, but that the first
| motion in order was one Of reference.
Mr.. McCreary Ry.) presented the petition
OF Cassius NJ. Clay, formerly minister to hussia,
| in favor of the United States extending and TO
| the famine sufferers
Mr.. Blount GA then moved that the House
proceed to the immediate consideration od the
| resolution.
Mr. KmGoRE's POINT.
Mr.. Kigore raised the point of order that
| this could not be done.
The Speaker ruled to the contrary, but
further ruled that motion to refer would have
precedence. Thereupon Mr.. Kilgore moved
| its reference to the committee ON aPpropria'
| tons
Mr.. Blount contended that the pending
proposition gave a power to the Secretary Of
| the Navy which did not now exist, and which
could not exist without legislation by the
House. It specifically no longer belonged to
| the committee on naval Affairs, and was d
measure which appealed 70 humanity and SYM
pathy.
He proceeded to cite precedents In suppor,
Of the object Of the resolution. when he was
interrupted by Mr.. Kilgore with on inquiry a
to the constitutionality OF the measure.
Mt. Rlount replied that when the resolutiou
| was under consideration the inquiry of ths
gentleman might be proper one. and It would
| be then competent for the House TO vote down
the proposition If il say proper. But in view
| Of the action Of the HOUSE in The past, il would
III become this great democratic majority to re,
fuse to give tho proposition esrly consider
| alton.
