Hous Sc.

Mr.. Mcmillan of Tennessee, from the
committee on rules, reported resolution
providing for the daily meeting of the
house at II o'clock. Adopted.
Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi, from the
Same committee, reported resolution pro-
viding that Immediately after the adoption
of this resolution the house shall proceed
to consider the bill to increase the oiroula-
ton of national banks and for other pur-
poses and If the bill is not disposed of on
that day then the consideration thereof
shall be continued during the next legisla-
tive day.
Mr.. Catchings gave notice that he would
call the resolution up on February
The fight of the day was then precipitst-
ed by the speaker laying before the house
the anti-option bill, with senate amend
ments thereto.
Instantly Mr. Hatch of Missouri was on
his feet with motion to non concur in the
senate amendments and to agree to the
this motion he demanded the previous
question.
Then Mr.. Bynum Of Indiana came to the
front with point of order that the amend
ments must first be considered in commit
| tee of the whole.
| Mr.. Boatner of Louisiana spoke in favor
of the point of order. The bill as it came
| from the senate included subjects of taxa
ton not included in the original bill. HI
called especial attention to the article Of
| -four, which was not comprised in the
house bill.
Mr. Hatch denied that there was singh
amendment sent to the house by tn,
senate, nor was there a word in singh
/ ~,%s l.
| single amendment that would bring tn
bill within the house rule that 1t must frs
be considered in committee of the whole
It would not matter If the senate hat
stricken out every section of the origina
bill and attached to the ensctipg clause al
entirely new measure; unless that measur
carried an appropriation or made charg
| upon the treasury it would not have to b
considered in committee of the whole
This had been held time and time again b
the chair.
Mr.. Boatner inquired whether if th
original bill had merely put tax on tn
article Of flour, 1t would not have to
considered in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Hatch replied that the gentleme
were drifting away from the issue. The
showed that they did not remember thu
on the 9Th and 9th of last June the fir
motion made In regard to this bill was
| 90 into committee of the whole for its col
liberation The original bill was bI
raising revenue. But the gentlemen o.
posed to the measure should not reoogni
that fact. For two days they held IL
house in obeyance by brute force.
Mr. Kilgore of Texas suggested that
the bill was one which must 60 to the col
mittee of the whole it must FIRST be I
ferred to the committee on agriculture
some other committee for examination.
1t was that it did not have to 60 to t
committee of the whole 1t could be at on
be considered by tho house.
The speaker then said that the chair b
no notice that this motion would be ma
this morning. He had read the sent
amendments. He had only heard tn
read by the clerk. The question involv
was largely q matter # fact and the Oh
would like to read the amendments q
If 1t were agreeable to the house he wo'
retain the bill on the speakers table III
tomorrow morning.
nj There was no objection, and the bill ,
Withdrawn and permitted to remain ny
the table until tomorrow.
