that tho rule did not apply when the
mcrits Of tho question had boen gonc
into.
Tho vico president read tho rulO pro.
! viding that resolutions should lie over
for q day unless unanimous consent
were given to take up the question at
once. Tho purpose OF tho rulo was owl
dcntIy TO pcrmit senators TO inform
themselves on resolution. In tho
present case tho vico president said tho
question ofgranting unanimous consent
had not been cloarly understood by tho
senate Ono senator had stated that hc
had not heard the request for unani"

"Under those circumstances" con-

When tho vice president by these ro-

Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, took tho Grcuhd
that Mr.. Hill had mistaken the matter

Il was thought that tho incident was
closed, but Mr.. Vest secured recogni-
ton aud proceeded with another atir'
ring chapter.
'I wlsh to say" said he with impres.
siveuess, "that l am heartily In favor OF
the resolution Of tho senator from Now
York aud when 1t comes before tho son.
ate tomorrow shall take occasion to
make statement before tho senate
which can be done without violation ot
tho confidence OF tho conference. It is
time, think, that tho calcium light OF
truth bo shcd on tho work Of tho con-
ferences that the calumnies aud false
Issues which have been heaped upon
the conference and sent broadcast over
tho country be dispelled."
Mr.. Vest had spoken with intense
earneatncss and it was marked con:
trast whom Senator Hill arose bland and
smiling and suggested, Perhaps tho
senator would like to free his mind

Mr.. Allrich, of Rhode Island, then
executed flank movement by calling
up a resolution heretofore offered by
Senator AIIcn. Tho resolution wus uu-
important, but 1t gave Mr.. Aldrich tho
floor and he claimed tho Allon resolu-

thronged tho galleries. tho mcmhers OF
tho house who bad came ovor TO zoe tho
battle, all left tho chamber. Consider
nble time was consumed by tho vico
president laying bcfore tho senate a
large amount OF house business, but
Mr.. Aldrich hold his place and smiled
at the press gallery:

resolution OF Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Berry (Dom., Ark) mado tho
point that tho resolution was not IN

several days ago and was not before tho
Mr.. Aldrich expressed surprise that
the gentlemen OF tho other side should
be- go selsa.ea over this question. They
were trying to "hlibustor tout OF sight"
T'he country wanted information. The

pressed his willingness to tell tho truth
and the senator from Tennessee (ltarris)
had also indicated desire to proceed.
There should bo no lilibustor to keop
tho country in turthor suspense. The
presiding ofllCor ruled that tho Allen
resolution was properly bcioro thc
senate at tho present ttmo.

"that tho amendment Of the senator OF
Rhode Island is not gcrmane to tho
original resolution. Tho AllOn resolu-
Goii was to discharge tho finance coiTi-
