quite a stir among the silver men.
They all rushed forward and applaud
ed for recognition. Mr.. Bryan Dem,
Neb.) managed to get the floor and in
dignantly resented the reflection made
by MI. Pence yesterday upon the silver
men who favored this conference. He
| was for free silver, but he believed it
the height of folly for the United
States to refuse to join hands with
other countries OF the world if they
We're ready and willing to join in the
scheme for the remonetiza ton of
silver.
Mr.. Dingley Rep. Me- agreed with
Mr.. Grosvenor, contending with Euro
pean bimetallists that the single at
tempt of any country, the United
States, France or Germany, to open
it's minis to the free coinage of silver
would swamp it, and place it imme-
ciately on a silver basis.

crowded in a few words before the de-
bate was cut off, and at 10 o'clock Mr..
Dockery moved a recess until IL
o'clock. Mr.. Simpson made the point
of no quorum.
Meantime the visitors had poured
into the galleries until they were
packed like sardines in a box. On the
floor all was confusion. Members
chatted and laughed and bid each
other goodbye. Finally Mr.. Simpson
surrendered, and the
RECESS WAS TAKEN
until II o'clock. At II o'clock the noise
in the galleries and the confusion had
ceased. The usual committee, consist
ing of Catchings, Mississippi; Outh-
waite, Ohio, and Reed, Maine, were APP
pointed to join similar committee
from the senate and inform the presi-
dent that congress was ready to adj
journ.
The speaker appointed Messrs. Rusk,
Maryland; Meredith, Virginia, and
Coffin, Maryland, on the committee ON
accounts, to serve during the recess.
Under the concurrent resolution
providing for the participation of con-
gress in the dedication of the Chicka-
manga military park the speaker APP
pointed as representatives of other
armies than those engaged at the Bat
tie of Chickamauga, Messrs. Hatch,
Culberson, Texas; Reed, Maine; Say

rison, Alabama; English, California;

Another recess for fifteen minutes
was taken. At 1880 Mr.. Hatch asked
unanimous consent that for the re-
mainder of the session the wives and
families of members who were unable
to gain admission to the galleries be
allowed on the floor of the house The
speaker replied that under the rules
he could not submit the request. MIR
Hatch then created much amusement
by submitting the, request himself, and
hearing no objection, he ordered tho
.sdoorkeeper to admit the ladies. Tho
ladies crowded through the DORIS. Z
down the aisles, taking every seat that
was vacant. The committee appointed
to wait on the president, with Mr..
Catchings as spokesman, then appear
ed and and informed the speaker that
the president had no further communi-
cation to make to congress.
THANKS TO CRISP.
Mr.. Cannon Rep, Ill) then obtained
recognition, and in graceful speech
offered a resolution of thanks to the
speaker. Such a resolution usually
comes from one of the leaders of the
majority.
The resolution was as follows: Ere
he
members of the house be extended to
the speaker of the house for the able,
impartial and dignified manner in
which he has presided over the delib-
erations of this house and performed
the arduous duties of the chair
A great burst of applause greeted
the presentation of Mr.. Cannon's reso-
luton, and as soon as order was re-
stored Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, who
was in the chair, recognized Mr.. Will
son, the chairman of the ways and
means committee.
Responding on the spur of the mo-
ment," sid he, 81 desire to say that
we on this side are duly appreciative
of the graceful and courteous action
of the gentleman from Illinois. It is
a pleasant thing that at the close of
COuST6SS III Which, IltlS Ids OSCl oo
much political legisla ton and party
antagonism, we on both sides are able
to testify to the impartiality of the
presiding officer One of the pleasant
est things about service in this house,
as 1 have found it, is that the sharpest
political antagonisms do not make per-
sonal arrangements. l understand
this is not the rule in other countries
ho-
get personal antagonisn1s."
Mr.. Simpson, a representative of the
third party, was then recognized and
Joined in the testimonials of the good
ness and
FAIRNESS OF THE SPEAKER.
After few words by Mr.. Grosvenor
on the same lines, Mr.. Hatch, who was
in the chair, called for a rising vote ON
the resolution.
Evercy member on the floor, save
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, and Mr.. Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania, arose to his feet, and
Mr.. Hatch declared the resolutions
unanimously adopted.
A moment later, when Speaker Crisp
assembled the rostrum, the applause
and cheering was renewed. The
speaker bowed his acknowledgment,
and, after hearing Mr.. Cannon's reSo-
luton read, he delivered his valedic-
tory.
Representatives. said he, 81 know
you will pardon me if, before perform
ing my last official act, I give some
expression to what I feel, not only in
regard to the resolution which you
have just adopted, but in respect to the
uniform kindness, courtesy and con-
sideration with which I have been
treated by every member of this body.
again 1 thank you, and when l say
that 1 but feebly express my feelings.
Never in my life, no matter what may
be its future, can 1 expect to attain to
SO high an office as that which I owe
to your kindness, to your considera-
ton, and to your Partially. IN laying
down that office, the greatest gratifica-
ton that could be afforded me is the
evidence in this resolution that 1 have
