burrows POINT SUSTAINED.
The next order Of business was the
reading Of the journal Of yesterdays pro-
ceedings. This being done, Mr.. Burrows
made the point that the first question
was upon the approval of the Journal
of last Thursday. being the first one in
chronological order remaining undisposed
Of In support of this contention Mr..
BurrWs quoted a decision by Speaker
Randall. in the Forty-siXth Congress upon
the same point. and endorsed by the
House. Speaker Crisp said that while he
would bow 10 the ruling. especially as
1t had been endorsed by vote OF the
House. he could see no good reason for
it.
The daily Journal Of proceedings since
last Thursday were then approved pro
fOrma. The pending question being on
the motion Of Mr. Springer to discharge
the order of arrest of absentees made
by the House on March 10th. Mr.. Reed
offered as d matter Of provision. as af-
fecting the interests Of the whole House.
a resolution declaring that order of ar
rest TO have been I'm violation of the
constitution and rules Of the House and
therefore void. The reason why he offer
ed the resolution was that he did not
desire the proceeding under considera-
ton 10 be made a precedent. He did
not particularly care, he said. what COM
mittee investigated the question. but he
wanted TO have II investigated. The pas
sage Of a continuing order ike the one
passed, he said. he I'D not believe should
be approved. because IT might become, un-
der some circumstances. a menace ana
After some debate the Chair ruled that
the resolution did not constitute such a
question of privilege as would operate
to GUST the motion Of MIR. Springer. The
matter doubtless should be investigated.
for il was one OF great Importance; but
il could not supersede at this time the
motion Of the gentleman from Illinois.
