THE NEW CHAPLAIN.
Rev. E. B. Bagby, the new chaplain,
chosen last night by the democratic
caucus, a slender, beardless bOyish-look-
ing young man of 25, delivered the invo-
cation in the House this morning in a
clear firm voice.
As soon as the journal had been read,
Mr.. Holman, the chairman of the caucus,
offered a resolution for the formal cleo
| ton Of Mr.. Bagby, and it being agreed
TO, the new chaplain was escorted to the
bar of the House, where, with raised
hand, he took the oath Of Office.
The speaker cleared the minor matters
from his table, executive Communications
etc. before presenting the repeal bill
When he reported the New York and
New Jersey bridge bill with the Senate
amendments Mr. Dumphey moved nom
concurrence. This was agreed to and con-
ferees were appointed.
The speaker lays before the House. -
said Speaker Crisp, blouse bill No. 1,
with the Senate amendments"
WILSON MOVES CONCURRENCE.
81 move that the House concur in the
Senate amendments said Mr.. Wilson,
rising to his feet, "and upon that motion
! demand the previous question. l wish
to say that it is not any desire TO
press this bill for a vote immedt-
ately. After the lapse of the half
hour, allowed for debate, if my motion is
agreed to, ! am willing to grant reason
able time thereafter, one or two hours,
say until o'clock" he added, looking
over in the direction of Mr.. Bland, the
silver champion, who was recognized as
the leader of the minority.
BLAND SHAKES HIS HEAD.
But MIR. Bland shook his head as Mr.
Wilson still paused for a reply and Mr.
Bland, who had been standing while Mr.
Wilson was speaking, now moved forward
| a few PAGES. II have no desire to delay
the action of the House. / had hoped
that the friends of this measure
would allow it to come up at the
| regular time, in the regular way. ] do
| not see the necessity for demanding the
| previous question and an arrangement for
subsequent debate. l want the debate to
| go on in the regular way so that the bill
| viii still be open for amendment. The
| opponents Of the measure should not be
| stified' -
| BY this time, the area In front of the
! speakers chair was filed by members.
Burke Cochran could not hear the re-
mark of the member from Mississippi and
wanted him to repeat it so that the House
| could be taken into his confidence, but
| Mr. Allen declined and Mr. Wilson pro
ceeded to explain that his purpose in de-
manding the previous question was not
| to cut off debate, but 10 avoid losing con
| troll. If l lose CONTROL said he, "the
debate proceeds in a vague, indefinite
way, and the bill is open to amendment.
l am perfectly willing to give the gentle
man ON the other side one two or three
| hours, or any other reasonable time"
| LIVINGSTON OFFERS a PROPOSITION
Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, offered as a
counter proposition that the previous
question be considered as ordered at 4
O'Clock
Mr.. Wilson, however, did not seem dis
| posed to treat with Mr.. Livingston as the
| leader of the opposition. He still looked
| TO Mr.. Bland.
Mr.. Stockdale. of Mississippi, wanted
! to know, with evidences of much irrita-
/ Hofn iua "a lag
| friends of the measure were afraid of
| amendments.
At this point so much confusion existed
| that the speaker ordered the aisles
cleared.
Messrs. Cochran, Rayner, Outhwait
and Cetchings, who had been standing at
| Mr.. Wilson's back, retired TO their seats.
| At soon as order was restored, Mr. LiV-
| ingstou again renewed his proposition.
! He called attention tosthe fact that every
one was anxious to get away, and all the
silver men wanted was an opportu-
nifty to give the reason for
their votes. He charged Mr. Bland,
! who was obdurate and who had just re-
turned to Washington, after a six weeks
absence, for standing in the way Of an
amicable agreement, which he said,
would 60 far toward harmonizing the
| Democratic party. IF he won't accept
Us odhl wi A1lFiAiAotOiAs WIN mum oCL-
iousness, 81 will accept it myself"
Mr. Bryan asked Mr.. Wilson If his pur-
pose in demanding the previous question
was to prevent the House from voting on
the amendments.
BRYAN FULL OF FIGHTS.
eyes, sir' replied Mr. Wilson.
81 want that fact to go on record" re-
torted Mr. Bryan ~ want the country
to know that you are unwilling that this
House shall vote on the amendments"
1--WE have already voted on every
amendment offered" retorted Mr.. Will
son, calmly. II would like TO know he
continued, turning toward Mr. Bland for
the last time, whether you are willing
TO accept the proposition / have nader
81 will accept nothing" replied Mr.
Bland snappishly, "that does not come in
the regular way"
"Then j demand the previous question, 3"
said Mr. Wilson, facing the speaker.
Mr. Bryan tried to address the chair
but q chorus of voices drowned his APP
peal When he was recognized alter the
din had subsidized, he moved that the
House adjourn.
WANTED TO FILIBUsTER
Filibustering was to be the last
resort of the extreme silver men. They
were determined to force the committee
on rules to bring in a closure rule
Mr.. Bryan's motion only mustered 20
votes against $50.
