v,I;hustering over a Motion to Ex-
onss Three Members.
washington, Jan. 6.-The proceedings
1, the House to-day were a repetition of
.so.a - of the previous three days. There
larger attendance of members than
hod been seen since the holidays. The
-ornbIicau side, in particular, seemed
noadv for business; but there was evi-
81 so,ce in the determined attitude of the
" 1,ookor and in the strict attention given
bir bv the democratic members that the
# n.,iority would do everything in its
no,yer to carry out the programme which
Sad been obstructed for the past three
5avs. and start the tariff bill on its Jour-
& ney.
The galleries also contained their full
# orota and. in particular, the members
Ind ladies galleries were unusually well
III filled.
HI Immediately after the reaqlng OF yes
4 terdav's journal, Mr.. Boutelle again tried
IN find out what had become of his Ha-
ycaiian resolution-a question which is
now looked forward to each day with
almost as much certainty as the reading
NJ of the journal Mr.. Boutelle insisted that
& his resolution was question of high priv
# ilepe whereas the special order reported
from the committee on rules was merely a
0privleged question" He asserted that
Fl there was a great difference between a
uouestion of privilege and a privileged
81 question, #" and he read from the digest to
"a show that the former took precedence of
the latter
BRER REED HEARD FROM.
Mr.. Reed h ere interrupted the torrent
of Mr., Boutelle's insistence to express
the hope that the speaker would carefully
weigh the difference suggested by Mr..
Boutele and would rule upon it, as it was
necessary to the orderly transaction of
the business Of the House.
Mr. Boutelle, continuing, asserted that
the resolution offered by him few days
ago, was still before the House--that it
had been before the House ever since it
had been introduced, and should be taken
up each day at the point where it was
left the day before. He held that there
was no place, in a parliamentary sense,
where it could be put on the table.
The speaker retorted that the gentle
man from Maine did not seem to under
stand the matter thoroughly The rules
provided, he said, that if any matter is
called in the House the question of con-
sideration shall not be put to the House,
unless some member demand it. The res
olution of the gentleman from Maine had
never been before the House in the sense
of being before it for consideration, be.
. cause, when it was called up, the gentle
man from Tennessee, Mr.. A1cA1illin, had
raised the question of consideration.
BOUTELLE GETS EXCITED.
"And that has never been decided, .
shouted Mr. Boutelle excitedly
will the gentleman from Maine allow
the chair to give its decisionl" the
speaker asked sarcastically; and he went
on to say that the House had then pro
ceeded to vote on the question of consid-
Grafton raised by Mr.. McMillin. but nc
ri quorum had voted and the House ad
louned That question of consideration
might be raised every day. Each day the
house might refuse to consider the
MI resolution; yet the next day
Il might be called up again
But when the House adjourned with
ou9 action on the resolution il
was the same as if it refused to consider
IT, lhe resolution therefore, was not be-
1Ute W Vhe House, as the gentleman from
Mdlne contended, but was exactly where
u was when it was first called up, name
W on the table; and it would rest there
GnIn II was again called up. Yesterday
sne speaker continued, the gentleman
ilum Mississippi (Mr. Catchings)
au nau reported resolution from
.ae committee on rules, and
the question of consideration had been
aalseo against it, but the chair had held,
10 10 Ii vhe last congress, that the question
& VI consideration could not be
t taiseu against a resolution coming
Ium the committee on rules. The
Rus REeyious question had been moved by MIR
# Ua9culhgs, and on that motion the yea:
# Sn9 nays were demanded, but the House
;o lou adjourned without reaching decis
t5 w. 80 80 mat the pending question before
# tbe be mouse to-day-the regular order-was
oao consideration of the report from the
II tSOn5IilVlee on rules. He then read from
