House of Representatives.
Filbustering against the Anti-Option
bill began before the reading Of the Jour
nal to-day, Mr. Kilgore raising the point
that there was no quorum present. After
swift glance around the chamber the
Speaker recognized the correctness Of the
point and directed the clerk TO call the
roll. But 1t being understood that an
important measure might be called up
to-day the members began to arrive
rapidly. and at the conclusion Of the roll
call 29 members responded TO their
names. Before the clerk could begin the
reading Of the Journal Mr. Kilgore was
on his feet with the motion that when
the House adjourn to-day it be to meet
Wednesday next, which motion he de-
sired to supplement with motion for a
recess until 5 o'clock. The first motion
was recognized, but before receiving the
second the Speaker recognized Mr.. Nc
Mllin to make a move to suspend the
rules and approve the Journal
Mr.. KilgOre protested that upon his
motion to adjourn over he had the floor
and was entitled to make his supple
mentary motion.
Mr.. McMnlin contended that the gen
tleman had not the floor. His motion to
adjourn over was not debatable one,
and therefore exhausted itself as soon as
presented.
Mr. Reed argued that the gentleman
from Texas had right to make a motion
for a recess, which was motion superior
under the present rules to a motion TO
suspend the rules.
Mr.. McMillin retorted that the gentle
man from Texas had no right to make
a continuing motion.
Mr. Reed replied that the gentleman
from Texas had a preference in a motion
to take a recess. He Reed did not ap-
prove Of the system. but he would like to
have II carried out, because II had logical
duty I'm II when 1t was carried out.
NaughterD
The Speaker decided that the gentleman
from Texas having made motion or
high privilege-to adjourn to day GER
tain-was not entitled to make one Of
lesser privilege-for recess.
Mr.. Kilgore interrupted with a demand
for an appeal. but the Speaker requested
him somewhat tartly) TO wait until the
decision of the Chair had been COM
pleted
The Speaker went on TO say that on the
first and third Monday I'm the month the
motion to suspend the rules was one OF
the highest privilege. and the Chair,
therefore. recognized the motion of the
gentleman from Tennessee to suspend
the rules and approve the journal, pend
ing the motion Of the gentleman from
Texas to adjourn to a certain day.
Mr.. Kilgore appealed from the decision,
and Mr.. Hatch promptly moved to lay
the appeal on the table. The appeal was
tabled, 17j to l. Then Mr.. KilgOre's
motion for an adjournment until Wednes-
day was voted down. 10 172: and the
Speaker stated the pending question TO be
on the motion 10 suspend the rules and
approve the Journal. and directed the
clerk 10 read the document. Mr.. Kilgore
insisted on its reading i'm extensO. 1t was
almost / o'clock when the reading of the
Journal was concluded and then Mr.. XII

Inns motion. II was seconded after a
weary wait. BY vote Of l6 to 0 Mr. Nc
