MR.. DOCkERf. OF MISSOURI.
rarely speaks, although he has u voice who's,
aryund. He projects himself into the debate,
Oh the. RAE occasion when he speaks. like a red
hekded;cAtapult, and seldom fails 10 make an
IMPRESSION. When he tried to squeeze i'll an
equalization OF this amendment, however. the
pfsyalliIg confusion ,n ma and td the h,E Eav SNd Of Of , IN,
whispered what he had been going to say 10
champ Clark and n few moments later that
gentleman arose with great solcmnity and
called OUT.

The House roared with laughter at the ruse.
ON duty, remarked severely: ''The gentleman
hns not stated a parliamentary question"

and he and Warner laughed together till the

They came pouring IN fast enough once the
ball started rolling In rat direction. Three.
quarters. at least. of all the Democrats voted
was left with little support beyondsthe Rcpub-
Leans. The result was the adoption OF the
Amendment by q vote OF 49, to 81.
= TIE HOUSE IN A MIDDLE.
The House by this time was In an uproar. and
the nncertainty Of the Chairman as to Just The
condition OF the clause under amendment made
matters worse. Mr.. Warmers motion had been
nOninnlly an amendment to an amendmen',
but actually was N substitute for the amend
ntnt. The Chairman could not make ont
what. under such circumstances. the substitute
amendment having been adopted, became oil
the original amendment.
At three minute before the time for n recess
MI. Wilson asked that the committees rise.
The Republicans groaned ironically, thinking
the Chairman was dodging the issue: The
move, however, was a formal one to gain the
beyond the, irregular hour. The House resolved
that the committee might sit until the pendin
amendment was disposed OF and the commit
tee met agnin. The elucidation OF the I'M
pending amendment was not assisted, how
ever, by these additional formalities, nor was
the confusion oil the floor alinycd. After pro-
longing the session ten minutes more and the
muddle getting deeper and deeper all the time,
Mr.. Wilson moved an adjournment in earnest
andthe House took q recess, leaving the sugal
darkness, but Just where nobody was certain.
A WAY OUT OF THE SMART.
The tangle which forced the adjournment o.
the House is being generally discussed to.

vote BY which the Warner amendment to the
Robertson amendment was adopted would
now be In order and would probably be made
on Wednesday mornin.. This would enable

and modified II necessary. The Speaker addel
that in his opinion the adoption OF the question
now pending before the House would put o
duty OH raw sugar and make refine | sugar free.
Ex- Speaker Reed is of the opinion that the
Warner amendment was virtually II substitute
Tor the Rohertson amendment, and that 1t,
adoption wiped out the Louisiana member
amendpent. Several Democrats agree with
Mr.. Reed in this view on the case. hut all are
confident that the vote by which the Warner
appointment was adopted will be reconsidercd
when the House takes IN the question again.
Chairman Wilson declines to discus the sub
jcct.
An additional complication Is In the fact
that oil day To- morrow is set aside for the con-
alteration OF the coal and iron schedules, 81
that unless. unanimous consent Is obtained
