CONGRESSIONAL PLAolARlsTS.
One of Henry Georges Books Printed in
the House Record.

the House Record.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-In the House,
this morning, Mr.. Burrows of Michigan
called their Chairs attention to the pub
lication in the record, this morning, Of
several chapters of Henry Georges book
on Protection or Free Trade" which
had been appended respectively to the
speeches of Messrs. Washington, Stone.
Fithian and two other gentlemen. The
extracts made twenty-six chapters Of
a copyright book and lacked but three
chapters of the entire volume. They
had been published in the record under
leave to print. Mr.. Burrows raised the
point of order that such extended alb
stracts from printed book should not
be printed in the record under the pre-
tence of expressing the views of
member.
The Speaker said it was matter
which the House itself should determine.
Mr.. Stone said he inserted the chapters
from Georges book for the purpose of
sending it out to the voters of the country
in order to give them information on the
question of tariff reform. The other
members justified their action by citing
various instances of similar insertion.
Mr. Burrows offered resolution refer
ring to the committee on printing those
portions of the record containing the
chapters of Henry Georges book with
instructions to the committee to report
whether by the insertion of said matter
the privileges Of the House had been
violated.
After further discussion, on motion Of
Mr.. Fithian, Mr.. Burrows's resolution
was tabled-yeas, 119; nays, 10.

HONORS FOR AGED FEET.

Annual Performance.
JOHN BULL HELPS THE KHEDIVE
INTO HIS ROYAL OFFICE.

The Emperor of Austria Observes Time
of Twelve Old Men-The Twenty-four
Aged Feet had Been Previously Well
Washed-New Khedive Greeted with
Much Ceremony.
VIENNA, April Sin compliance with
an ancient custom, the Emperor Francis
Joseph today washed the feet of twelve
poor men at the imperial palace. The
custom is in imitation of the washing of
the feet of the disciples by Christ, and
has been followed by the emperors of the
House Of Hapsburg from time immemo-
rial. The poor men are carefully select
ed from among the respectable and de-
serving, and the attendants see to it that
the feet are in no actual need of washing
before the Emperor touches them. The
twelve poor men are expected to go
through thorough ablution before they
are brought to the palace, and after their
arrival their feet are inspected and un-
dergo final cleansing before being un-
covered in the presence of the Kaiser.
The poor men were brought before the
Emperor, who, approaching them in
humble, yet dignified manner, dipped
some water from silver ever, and
touched the feet Of each one in success
sion, afterward applying towel also to
each. This took place in the hall of GER
emonies and in the presence of a bril-
liant assembly of members of the impe-
rial house and Of the nobility and minis
ters. The twelve men were very old, their
collective ages amounting to 1868 years.
With their snowy hair and boards and
bent and tottering forms they presented
remarkable contrast to the glittering
assemblage around them. The Kaiser
himself is beginning to look venerable,
having aged considerably since the death
of the Crown Prince. AS the venerable
sovereign bent before his veteran sub
jects and performed his humble task even
the courtiers appeared to be touched by
the spectacle. After the ceremony the
Kaiser presented to each of the old men
purse containing thirty pieces of silver,
accompanying the gift by few kindly
words. Then the twelve men retired
and partook of meal provided for them
after which they were conveyed in car
riages to their homes. This ceremony
always touches the popular heart in vi
emma and crowds watch on the streets for
the old men to pass. Today loud cheers
greeted them as they were borne to their
homes.
