REILLY EXPLAINS THE REPORT.
Mr.. Reilly made brief speech in which
he explained the report and its purposes
He said that, az all the members knew, there
was a parliamentary deadlock which had
continued for some time and threatened to
keep the members here indefinitely. The
committee had carefully caavassed the
situation and had endeavored to reach a
basis on which there could be general
agreement of democrats. He detailed the
terms OF the agreement reached and said
that in his opinion it was one which
should meet the approval Of democrats
generally. There we're number of Ques-
tons asked and the result was that Messrs.
Kilgore, Bailey and Anthony (the successor
Of Mr.. Mills left the hall of the House, re-
fusing to remain and abide by the decree of
the caucus. Mr.. Duborow left the hall and
remained In the lobby and Mr.. McGsnr,
another Chicago member, also refused to
remain in attendance. Considerable time
was taken up In interrogatories of
Mr.. Reilly as to the natura and
effect of the various propositions in the re-
port but when the question was put on the
approval OF the report of the committee
there was a loud response In the of ffirmative
from many members and no response what
ever when the negative side was called for
Mr.. Reilly was congratulated by q number
OF members on the success thus far attend
ing the labors Of the peace committee. The
caucus adjourned after having been in ses-
n sion about hfty minutes all told.
