Mr.. Read moved that the reports be re-
ceived and the bills placed on their reg
ular order.

adopt the report of the committee on the
resolution to change the rules. It pro-
vides that no member may occupy the
floor either in committee of the whole or
in the house for more than five minutes;
and that no member be allowed to explain
his vote; also that night sessions be held
every evening from now to the end of
the session.

said his reason was that he was opposed
to the position which prohibited any
member from explaining his vote.
