Burrows called attention to the
speech OF Wheeler (Dem.) OF Alabama
contained In the Record today. The
gentleman had been granted one min
ute py Catchings yesterday, Burrows
SAID, In which to express.hts views on
the quorum counting rule. In that
minute, according to the Record, he
had been able to say enough to fill four
columns Of the Record. He know that
the gentleman was rapid talker. bnt
he did not believe be could talk that
fast.
Richardson (Dem.) of Tennessee said
wheeler was not present and suggested
that the matter go over until he was
In his seat.
Reed-It is his duty to be here, and

taken to expung the speech from She
Record. The matter was thereupon
postponed. The House went into com
mlttee Of the whole, Bailey Of Texas in
tne chair, for the consideration of the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill. '''.
The debate was entirley political'
with only incidental reference to the
PHI before the House. In its course.
Mr.. Wise (Dem.) Of Virginia read from
the Record to show the position taken
by ex-Speaker Reed when the amend
ment offered by j. Randolph Tucker of
Virginia to the rules, providing for the
counting OF Quorum, was under dis
cussion in the Forty. eighth Congress
He showed that Reed opposed the
and added with much
spirit that "this adulation of Thomas
Is. Reed by the Republican party was
pretense."
Wise went on to say that Reed was
not the originator Of this proposition
to count quorum until It. was first pro-
posed by a Democrat from Virginia.
Grosvenor (Rep.) of Ohio, who had
several times attempted without sue
cess to interrupt Mr.. Wise-May | ask
the gentleman question:

laughter cannot refuse you the CD.

had sailed. He added that Springer of
illinois had voted and spoken for the
rule.
"That vote," said Reed, soto voce,
accounts for It's defeat"
"Garfeld." continued Wise, "yoted
against 1t and denounced it as uncon-
stitutional; so that this pretense that
the country is indebted to the Republi-
can party for this rule, is a base lie. On
that occasion. Reed denounced the pro
posed rule as violation of the Consti-
tuition and tho Republican leaders
joined him in the denunciatlon,"
Wise stated that he refused to vote
yesterday for the rule because he had
had no opportunity to examine 1t, anu
because there was no chance to deb ate
1t. But he believed that If the power
resided In the House to bring a man
from California to his seat, the House
had a right to count his presence for
the transaction Of business.
