rointmert as one OF the rules in ''e
House pro, ,idcs that after tie morning
hour the Speaker shall lay before lhe
House any message or document mat ne
NAV. have received from the President
or some of the departments ana aso
such messages and bills ana reaolutloHs
as have been received from The Senate

the rules. Doe reported 90 The House until
tomorrow after the morning hour There

several other ardent repeal leaders iD the
House had am interview with Speaker
Crisp and urged strongly upon him The

two amendments 90 offer. but 10 is beuev-
al that neither OF these will prolong any
debate 0r cut any figure with uncondi-
tlonal repeal The rules provide among
other methods of treatment that when a
House bin IS returned with Senate amend
meuts a motion 20 concur and n re-
quest for the previous question upon this
motion may be- made and this will prOba-
t'v be- the course adopted by Chairman
wilson tomorrow morning when the Voor-
bees amendment is presented, and most
likely only one roll call VIII be necessary
upon the matter. il is generally conceded
that as soon as the repeal bin shall have
been settled in Congress and sent 20 the
President for his signature that both
bodies will be ready for a recess until
l1te in the month. This viii likely be
delayed, however several days, and pro-
iahly not until Saturday viii this motion

Al every SESSION Of Congress memorials /
and petitions ad libitum are presented. /
Generally they are Of no Importance 10 /
eny one except the memOrialists them
selves and In that event their fate rests
entirely in the hands Of the particular in
oiudual congressman who numbers the
petitioners amongst his constituents. Fre-
quently the requests are Of such an impos-
hole and extravagant nature that the
member is only too glad TO allow them
20 slumber In the dust-cOvered pigeon
hole of the committee room.
