who fully agrees with the decision of the
Chair.
The question then arising was. Shall
the bill be read a third timer which was
so ordered, without discussion or attempt
TO discuss so far as the Chair knows, and
had there been an attempt at discussion
it would have been ruled out or order, as
has been the ruling of the Chair through
out this session.
THE question then arose upon the final
passage of the bill. In accordance with
the rule laid down above, the advocates
OF the measure were entitled to the de-
bate, and i'll accordance Herewith Mr..
Schlesinger was recognized. Instead of
choosing to discuss the merits of the bill,
he moved the previous question, which
was seconded instantly, as before, leav-
Ing the Chair no discretion except to put
the question, which was ordered by an
almost unanimous vote. This brought
the main proposition imme mediately to a
vote, and the bill was passed by major
lty of 54 ayes and 10 noes. 1t would GER
tainly seem, therefore, that whatever of
haste or intolerance of debate existed, if
there were such, was not due to any action
OF the Speaker, and as there is not q
single instance in the journal of this or
any preceding Legislature where an en-
try OF similar character was made by
the Minute Clerk, that if regard be had,
either TO justice or to precedent, such an
amendment as is requested by the gentle
man from Sacramento should not be al
lowed.
81 regret that my illness, which kept
me out OF the chair the greater portion of
Friday and all of Saturday, was such as
TO prevent an earlier consideration of this
matter, but at this time, in Difference to
the minority in this question, 1 propose
to submit the amendment to the House,
and, setting aside my own Judgment in
the matter, will permit the gentleman
from Sacramento to make his motion to
amend the journal, as suggested by him
self.o
Mr.. Anderson said the explanation
was satisfactory to him. provided it be
published in the journal, which was or
dered without objection.

a Steady Tramp Through the White

WASHINGTON, March The steady
tramp, tramp of the oflice-seel1ers sound
ed through the White House all day.
Practically there was no cessation in the
line of people who ascended the stairway
leading to the Presidents room, and
nearly all who came saw Cleveland.
They found him in jovial humor, and
he cracked jokes with old acquaintances
whom he had not seen since his departure
from Washington four years ago. While
large number of those who saw the
President are candidates for Office, few
of them attempted to press their claims,
and congressman, with long lists of con-
stituents, willing to work for Uncle Sam,
were discreet enough not to ask for
favors, but simply pay their respects.
Cleveland was so busy receiving callers
in his Office that he did not go down.
stairs to see the hundreds of people wait
ing for him in the East Room. The room
became so crowded and the crowd out

pointing manner.
THE CHINESE MISSION.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Some inter-
esting news was dropped by one of the
Indiana callers at the White House this
afternoon. 1t is that Ex-Governor Isaac
Gray Of Indiana is not to be given the
Mexican Mission, but that he will be sent
to China, Senators Voorhees, and Turpie
spent considerable time yesterday after
noon with Secretary of State Gresham in
behalf of their friend Gray, and they were
told, so it is said, that he could not repre-
sent this country at the Mexican Capital.
The question then arose as to what diplo-
matte position the Administration was
willing to give Mr.. Gray, and it was
finally suggested that the Chinese Mission
would be acceptable to Mr. Gray. The
idea seemed to please Mr.. Gresham, and
it is understood that the present Minister,
Mr.. DENLY, will be recalled in order to
give Mr.. Gray the position. The Indiana
Senators called at the White House this
afternoon to secure the consent of Mr..
Cleveland to this arrangement, and most
of the members of the Indiana delegation
will call tomorrow for the same purpose.
Mr.. Gray himself will be here tonight.

DEMOCRATS CAUCUS.
Question of Reorganization Discusse
by Senators.

Question of Reorganization Discussed
by Senators.
WASHINGTON, March THE Demo-
cratic caucus, which met in the Senate
Chamber this morning, was well at
tended. The action to-day indicates that
the Populist Senators are to be ignored.
as Senators Kyle, PETER and Allen were
not invited to attend the caucus. Martin
of Kansas, although elected by Fusion
votes, is considered Democrat, and as
such was invited by German to attend
the caucus; and he was present and
participated in the proceedings Allen,
it is understood, will vote with the Demo
Gratis when it comes to organization.
The caucus organized by re-electing
German Chairman and Faulkner Secre-
tary. The session lasted four hours. the
only actual business transacted being to
authorize the Chairman to report a COM
mittee to devise a plan for reorganiza-
ton, and report to the caucus upon the
call of the Chairman.
Much of the time was consumed in
discussion bearing upon the standing of
Senators appointed by Governors, the
cases in point being Senator Beckwith.
appointed by the Governor of Wyoming.
and Senator Mantle, appointed by the
Governor of Montana. a spirit of oppo-
sition against the seating of appointees
was manifested, and in support of this
view number of old decisions in Senate
