wAsHrSeToy, April 4-In the House Mir. Catchings of Mississippi submitted a report from the Committee on Rules of Mir. Alderson's resolution to investi. gate the census office.
 Mir. Wilcox of Connecticut, chairman of the committee on the eleventh census, moved that that committee be charged with making this investiga- ton, as it had jurisdiction over the subject.
 Mr. Enloe thought that the census committee should have taken some steps in this matter before, and as it had not done so he thought a special committee should be appointed for the purpose. He favored the resolution as reported.
 Mir. Hayes of Iowa thought a select committee should be appointed by the Speaker.
 Mir Miller criticised the Committee on Rules, which, he said, was autocra- tie He said it was an outrage that the representatives of the people should not be left free to do as they pleased, instead of being gagged by commit. tee of five men, or three as the ma :. iority thereof
 The resolution was then passed as amended, authorizing the Census com mittee to make the investigation.
 Mir. Enloe then moved to take up business on the private calendar. Mir. McMillin amended by moving to pro- ceed with the free wool bill. On divi- sion the latter motion was agreed to and the House went into Committee of the Whole (Mr Blount in the chair on the silver bill.
 Tom Watson of Georgia made his for mai introduction to the House. Wat son has talked on previous occasions, but this was the first set speech.

He indulged in some person. alities and ridiculed Republicans and Democrats impartially. Watson con- fined himself to saying what he thought of the tariff as a practical issue. He was sharp in his argument of the All. ance mem bers of the South. He was for unadulterated free trade.
