much applause As he was about TO begin
an animated conflict aroso over tho right

Tracey who was in the chair, informed
Mr. Reed that he had four minutes.
And l will use It I'm my own time, "
said Mr. Reed
"You cannot use It, said the chair
man, "in closing the debate. If You wish
20 DO recognized now, you can proceed. l
will not recognize you TO close the debate -
1T is quite fitting, said Mr. Reed,
THAT this refusal to recognize this side
should be part of this spectacle. "
