LIVELY SCENE.
Upon the adoption OF tho order Mr..
Outhwaito demanded tho previous
question. As the roll call was proceed
ing Mr.. Reed precipitated n lively
scene by challenging the correctness OF
tho tally. Amid cries OF regular order
no explained that he challenged tho
announcement upon the statement OF
MIR. Tracey, who kept tally.
rho speaker suggested emphatically
that MIR. Tracey was not the keeper OF
the rolls OF tho house. Nevertheless Mr..
Reed insisted that he was entitled TO re-
spectiul treatment. Mr.. Cultivate
called attention to the fact that Mr..
Tracey had not himself challenged the
correctness Of the count, but had recog-
n!Sed its integrity by a motion to recon-
sider.
Mr.. Tracey explained that his tally
showed that only Ia members had
voted, but nc was not prepared to press
his claim OF errors, mud the roll call
proceeded.
The speaker had his name called on
the demand OF the previous question on
the adoption OF tho special order, and it
was sustained, l70-l0, one more than
a quorum. The vote was then taken on
