MIR. Dockery. in the chair was work
ing the gavel and his voice to the utmost
limit in the effort to restore order. and
the two officials started 10 accompany
the two men TO their seats. Progress
was not rapid enough to suit the chair

emphatic bang of the gavel, he SAID

Mr.. Cox's amendment to abolish the
office of Superintendent OF Indian Schools
and to eliminate the appropriation for
the salary thereof from the bill was de-
feated-S to 1N.
Mr.. Gear Repubican), OF Iowa, offered
an amendment prohibiting the expendi-
ture Of any money appropriated IN ,he
bill on a sectarian school, and directing
the Secretary of the Interior to carry out
the purpose OF the bill by the necessary
rules and regulations.
Mr.. Tracey tDemocraD. of New YORK.
made the point OF order that the amend
ment was new legislation and did not re-
duce expenditures. and was therefore
obnoxious to the rules. The chairman
sustained the point Of order and Mr'
Gear appealed from the decision OF the
Chair stating that II overruled now, al
the proper time he would move to recon-
nit the bill, with instructions to incorpo-
rate the substance OF his amendm INT.
In the course of the consideration OF the
appeal there was another outbreak OF
fighting between members, not SO violent
as the former one. however. Mr.. Gear
had a petition in support OF his position,
which he desired to have read and printed
In the Record. This led 10 controversy
between Messrs. Gear, Bynum. and SOM
mers. Misunderstanding the attitude OF
the latter two, Mr.. Gear was insisting
upon reading the petition. whereupon he
was called to order by Mr.. Cultivate.
Learning that he could have the document
printed In the Record Mr.. Gear was sat
isfied and the incident closed.
The Judgment of the Chair as 10 the
amendment was sustained-l3i to 100.
