WASHINGTON, Fob 26 Hatch moved
that his anticipation bill be- taken from
the committee on ways and means and
referred to his commi ttee, agricultural.
Hopkins (Rep. Ills. J. Under tho rules
of the House does not that bill belong
to tho committee on ways and means
affecting the revenues Of the Govern.
ment?
The chair-That is tho question for
the House to determine. Tho Speaker
referred it to the committee on ways
and means. and the gentleman from
Missouri (Mr Hatch), now desires the
reference changed The motion to
change the reference was carried on d.
vision SO to AZ, but Coombs (Dem., N.
}, made the poins OF no quorum and
the yeas and nays were oruered. The
vote resulted, yeas. l67; nays, SO; so the
change OF reference was ordered.
Mr.. Boutelle offered q resolution re-
citing that the United States would not
permit the representative of any gov
eminent to remain in the capital who
had intrigued with its enemies for the
overthrow of It's government, and that
the same rights should be conceded to
other governments, even the weakest;
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the
House that the most sacred obligations
OF good faith, the highest mutual inter
ests OF the United States and the
friendly government of Hawaii, tho
plainest dictates of international com
ity and the imperative duty of avoiding
further risk of completely in the in otto.
ment of disorder and bloodshed in la
vail, require that tho present United
States minister to the provisional gov
ernment OF the Hawaiian Island be i'm
medlately recalled and superseded by
the appointment OF another minister
who will be unhampered by tho lament
able incidents of the recent past, and
who will be able and willing to repre-
sent the sincere desire of the paople of
the United States to cultivate to tho
fullest extent the friendship which has
so long subsisted between us, and to
consistently endeavor to advance the in.
terests and prosperity OF both govern
| rents.
The Speaker asked upon what grounds
| Boutelle claimed the resolution to be
privileged Boutelle said the resolu-
tioi was one OF privilege for the reason
that it related to the exercise of the
war power and matter referred to Con-
gross by the President.
McCreary (Dem, XVI made the point
OF order that it was not privileged, and
tho Speaker held the point we'll taken,
and the resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs. Boutelle
requested that the committee be little
more prompt and active in the con-
sideration OF the resolution than it has
been on other papers on the same sub
ject.
Bland moved that tho House resolve
itself into committee OF the whole on
the seignorage bill, general debate TO
close at o'clock Tuesday afternoon
and the bill to be further considered
under the live minute rule and on the
motion demanded the previous cues
ton. Without the division the yeas
nays were ordered on the previous ques.
ton, resulting yeas, 1853; nays, 8.
This was eleven less than a quorum
and Bland moved y call of the House.
The call showed a73 members present
and further proceedings under the call
were dispensed with.
Bland then cut the Cor dian knot OF
the situation by Unexpectedly with
drawing the pending motion and max.
ing one to go into the committee of the
whole on the bill.
The ohair-Without Limitation of dc.
bate.
Bland-Yes sir
The motion prevailed l19 to 0, and
Hatch took the chair. Thus quietly and
almost without the knowledge of the
| mem bers of the House, the struggle of
the past ten days was ended, and the
House entered upon a now course of
business
The chair recognized Pence Pop
Colo), as entitled to the floor and the
now member from the Centennial State
at once secured the attention of the
House by series Of sarcastic pictures
OF the attitude of some Of the mem bers
OF the Republican and Democratic par.
ties toward this question.
In conclusion Pence said ne was con-
WINGED more than ever that what he
said last August was true, that the pro-
ducers of the West and South west
would unite and be represented bath be-
fore and after November, by the same
men; and in his judgment the best re-
suits to both sections would be secured
under the leadership of the Peoples
party.
Patterson proceeded briefly to discuss
the bill, saying he was in favor OF it for
two reasons-hrst, that it would give
more money to the country, and second,
that he wanted to get the bullion out OF
the Treasury.
Bland took the floor. and explained
why he had insisted on an understand
ing as to the limitation Of debate on the
bill. He considered it more important
than any that would come after IL
because IL was essential to the putting
OF money in the Treasury, by which the
appropriations passed by the Congress
should be made available. Every fill
