fail of confirmation when the senate

In the house Wilson, chairman of the
ways and means committee, asked the
consent for the considera-
ton of the resolution to permit the
committee to sit during adjournment,

Niding, If filed, such bills and reports
shall be mailed to each member. Reed
objected, explaining that the minority
should have a fair and decent oppor-
tunity to examine and prepare a mi
nority report on a bill of such import
arce as the tariff bill before its presen-
tation. Mr.. Catchings, from the COM
mittee on rules, presented a special
rule for the consideration of Wilson'S
resolution. Mr.. Reed said the resolu-
ticn was unsatisfactory in character,
and unreasonable in it's demands. 1t
would be unjust to the minority to
expect them to get together and in a |
few days prepare minority report on
the bill. Wilson said the resolution was
designed to give the country the bene-
fit of the earliest possible information

committee stages so that it's

after the regular session convened.

publican member of the committee, with
the possible exception of Reed, who
was absent, to come to the committee
room and see what was going on. Reed
responded briefly, and then the vote
was taken. The republicans refused to
answer to their names, and there was
no quorum, the yeas being 157 and the

Catchings at once entered a motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
house agreed to adjourn on Friday.
Wilson, of West Virginia, moved n call
of the house with the intention TO get
a quorum to pass the resolution. The
call developed the presence of ga menu

the repeal bill. The resolution was
adopted. revoking leaves of absence

TO arrest absentees.
For three hours the members waited
patiently for the appearance of the alb
sentees. At 7:40 Wilson moved to dis
pense with further proceedings under
a call. The vote resulted to $50, and
upon the announcement Reed arose and
offered compromise. He offered a
counter proposition to amend the reso-
luton so as to permit the chairman
to file the tariff bill with the under
standing that the reports thereon shall
be filed not later than ten days. This
proposition Wilson accepted, provided
that the word tariff" before the bill
be changed to "reven Ie." Sayers, from
the committee on appropriations, pre-
sented a conference report on the Ur-
gency Deficiency bill, and asked the
house to insist on its disagreement to
the senate amendment to pay $21 600
to the senate employees for work done
during the recess of the 51st congress
He explained that this should have
come out Of the contingent fund of
the senate and the last congress re-
fused to pay it. The house by vote
of 120 to decided not to recede from
its position. Then the house adjourned
