illegal practices.
BY MIR. Blount-For the appointment Of
commission TO represent the United States
at the Columbian historical exhibition to
be held in Madrid in 1892.
THE RULES TAKEN UP.
The consideration of the rules was then
resumed. The pending amendment was one
offered by Mr.. Oates providing for a COM
mittee on order of business to consist of
fifteen members (of which the speaker shall
be ex ofcio chairman.
Mr.. Pickler OF South Dakota wished to
offer an amendment giving the committee
on invalid pensions the right it had during
the Fifty-tirst congress to report at any
time upon general pension legislation, but a
demand for the previous question made
by Mr.. Catchings cut him off Be-
fore the announcement of the vote Mr..
Picker demanded verIfcation and asked
that the vote be recapituleted. The
speaker replied that there was no rule re-
quiring this to be done. IL the gentleman
would state that an error had been made,
the chair would order a recapitulation, but
otherwise he would not.
Mr.. Picker would not make such a state
ment, but contented himself with referring
TO the great confusion in this hall and the
possibility Of a mistake having crept into
the record.
THE PREVIOUS QUESTION ORDERED.
The speaker thereupon declared the prev
ious question ordered yeas, 100; nays, 90.
Mr.. Picker then moved an adjournment.
This was lost by a vote of % TO 103.
The vote recurring on Mr.. Oates amend
ment, no quorum voted and Mr.. Picker
raised that point and proceeded to proclaim
that the Amendments he wished to offer was
for the benefit of the pensioners Of the
country.
Though Mr. Picker is possessed Of a
strong voice, his words were drowned in
| the democratic chorus of regular order"
In vain did the speaker call upon Mr.. Pick
Ter to resume his seat. The speaker then
| directed the official reporter not to
report the gentleman's remarks,
| superfuous order, inasmuch as
| the reporter was unable 10 hear word.
| Finally the services Of the sergeant-at-arms
were called into requistion, and before the
menacing mace, Mr.. Pickler yielded and
! gracefully took his seat.
Mr.. Oates amendment was rejected.
Mr. Hooker's pending motion TO strike
| out the clause giving the committee on
rules power to call up its reports at any
time and preventing dilatory motions be-
ing made when they are under considera-
| ton was lost, by vote OF 2l TO 1879.
On motion of Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky
an amendment was agreed to requiring gem
| eral appropriation bills to be reported
within eighty days of the appointment OF
the committees in the long session and
within forty days in the short session.
REPORTING OF PRIVATE BILLS.
Mr.. EnIoe OF Tennessee offered an amend-
ment providing that committees in report
ing private bills shall file them with the
clerk, and that they shall by him be placed
upon the appropriate calendar. This was
| agreed to. Yeas l69 nays "A,
MIR. Burrows of Michigan offered an
amendment re-establishing the rule Of the
last congress empowering the speaker to
count quorum when such a quorum is
present and not voting.
Mr.. Anderson of West Virginia moved
to amend the amendment by adding a
clause providing that in no case shall the
hat or cloak or umbrella of member in a
cloak room be counted.
Messrs. Reed and Burrows advocated Mr..
Burrows amendment
WHEELER SCENTS DANGER.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama said that
Franklin, Washington, Madison and others
no less distinguished had good reason for
every provision inserted by them in the
constitution of our country. There were
many reasons given for requiring the yeas
and nays to be recorded upon the demand
Of one-ffth OF the members present. One
reason was that the Record might show that
all who voted had the right to vote upon the
question being considered. Suppose a re
publican House should at some future dav
be elected and be prayed 60 God no such
calamity would befall the country lap
plause on the democratic sidel; suppose a
republican ma jOrity as irresponsible as that
which occupied this hall twenty-five years
ago should sit here again; suppose the
creation of a great corporation should be
under consideration to be endowed by
the government with an enormous sub
sidy; suppose stock was distributed TO
interruptions members. they could not vote
for the bill, but they could be counted to
