The speaker asked upon what ground
Mr.. Boutelle claimed the resolution to be
privileged.
Mr. Boutelle said the resolution was one
of privilege in that 1t related to the exsr-
else of the war power.
Mr.. McCresry made the point that It was
It'll orI he loll
point we'll taken. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign rela-
tions.
Mr.. Bland, dem, of Missouri moved that
the house resolve itself into a committee of
the whole on the seigniorsga bill, general
debate 10 close at O'Clock Tuesday and
the bill to be further considered under the
Ave. minute rule.
Without division the yeas and nays were
ordered on the previous question, resulting
yeas 1873, pays 8.
Bland moved a call of the house. The cali
showed 273 present. Mr.. Bland then I'M
expectedly withdrew the pending motion
and moved to go into committee Of the
whole. The chsir-Without debated Mr.
Blsnd-Yss, sir.
The motion prevailed-1l9 to 0-and Mr..
Hatch took the chair.
Thus quietly and almost without the
knowledge of the members the struggle of
the past ten days was ended and the house
entered upon q new course of business.
The chair recognized Mr.. Pence, pop, OF
Colorado, and he drew Q series of ssrcastio
pictures of the attitude of some members
of the republican and democratic parties
toward the questions.
Mr.. Patterson replied to Mr.. Pence and
maintained he had not changed his views.
He stated that In order to secure O quorum
he was In favor of counting members pres
l snt and not voting.
Mr.. Walker, rep, of Massachusetts, said
| there was no objection to free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver, If 1t could be done
| upon any practicable plan But 1t would
/ NOT be practical for the United States to
undertake 1t alone.
| Mr. Fithiap, DEM, of Illinois, ssid the
democrats who were blocking legislation by
falling to vote were trusted advisers OF
| Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Bland explained that he had insisted
on an understanding as to limitation of de-
bate because 1t was essential to the putting
l of money in the treasury by which sppro-
pristions by congress could be made avail
able. Every 6libueteripg motion was 6
movement to strike from labor's mouth
the bread for which It was suffering. The
l bill, ne eAld, Would De Kept before the
house until it had been voted up or voted
down, and the gentlemen who were oh
structing the consideration of the bills and
other measures might as well realize theil
responsibility.
Me.srs. Picker, dem, of North Dakota
and Ellis, rep of Oregon, stated that Mr.
Pence had admitted to them that he en-
joyed as much a. they seeing the demo
crsts In hole, and Mr.. Pickler also stated
that Mr.. Pence had said he hoped the bill
| would not psss. These assertions wer,
vehemently denied by Mr.. Pence, snt
after the committee rose he made q per
sonsl explanation, In the oouree of which
he was twice called to order for statement
regarding Messrs. Ellis and Hsiner Of Ne
braeka. After the second breeoh of tn
rules the house voted that he sho' II no
be allowed to proceed and then adjourned
