the policy.
Barrett, on the suggestion ~ lAtt. re-
quested unanimousl consent that his reso-
lution be SO modified that that portion OF
the resolution making IL mandatory upon
the committee to report "by impeachment
or otherwise" should be stricken out. There
was some parliamentary sparring over the
point as TO whether the striking out OF
those words would not divest the resolu-
ton OF its privileged nature. which the
speaker decided I'm the negative. whereupon
Crisp objected. saying that he wanted the
other side to go on record as voting for I'm
parchment. Barrett then closed The debate
IN a brief speech. in which he said he would
never have introduced the resolution had
not some one objected 20 the resolution Of
Mccall. The subject was one near to the
hearts OF the American people. and should
be discussed. When the previous question
was demanded Crisp moved 10 refer the
resolution To the judiciary committee. This
was lost by a rising vote. so TO 206. Mr..
Crisp demanded yea and nay vote. which
was taken, resulting 90 10 COZ. Cannon
moved 10 strike out the words "by i'm
parchment or otherwise" and his motion
was agreed to. AS amended the resolution
was adopted without division.
