NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
Mr.. Catchings from the committee on
rules, submitted a resolution providing
that after the second morning hour Fri
day, and every day until after the matter
is disposed of, the House shall take under
consideration the bills for the admission
of the states of New Mexico and Arizona.
The resolution was agreed TO.
Mr.. Haugen, of Wisconsin, arose to a
question of personal privilege. He stated
that in to-day's Record he found that
certain remarks made before the commit
tee on banking and currency by w. j.
Talbert, of South Carolina, had appeared.
He desired to know by what right they
had been printed and how far this priv
1lege of printing was to be abused.
MIR. Haugen was told by the speaker
that the House had given Mr.. Talbert
this right, whereupon MIR. Haugen sub
sided.
MIR. Talbert endeavored to make an ex-
PLANTATION, but the speaker declared that
such explanations were not in order.
After the passage of two bills relating
to land titles, coming from the public
lands committee, and while but twenty
minutes of the morning hour remained,
MIR. Pendleton, of West Virginia. called
up from the committee on private land
claims that Efamops McGarraghan bill.
This, bill, as is well known, provides for
the reference to the court of private land
claims of the title of William McGarra-
CHAN to ranch. The claim, after many
vicissitudes and buffetings of many years
in congress, passed both houses in the
Fifty-second congress, but was vetoed by
President Harrison.
The morning hour expired in an effort
to get quorum and the bill went over
until tomorrow as unfinished business.
PAY FOR CHRISTMAS.
The speaker laid before the House let
ter from the sergeant-at-arms saying that
session was exhausted and asking for a
further appropriation. The letter was
referred to the committee on appropria-
tionS
Mr.. Sayers reported the usual joint
resolution, providing that the officers and
employees of the House be paid their
salaries for December on the 2lst instant,
the day when the holiday recess is ex-
pected to begin. The resolution was
unanimously adopted.
After the expiration Of the second morn
ing hour MIR. Wheeler, of Alabama, moved
to proceed to the consideration of the bill
for the admission of Arizona into the
union. The opponents of the bill pre-
vented its immediate consideration by
making the point of no quorum. The roll
call showed that only ITO members were
in the chamber, and Mr.. Wheeler moved
a call Of the House. Two hundred and
hfty-lve members answered on the call,
and the roll was then called on Mr..
Wheeler's motion to go into committee of
the whole. On a call of the yeas and
nays on MIR. Wheeler's motion the neces-
sary quorum failed to appear, and Mr..
Wheeler said that as it was evident the
republicans were filibustering he moved
that the House adjourn, which motion
prevailed at 3:40 p. M.
