4 There was an nnnsually large mum
ber OF members In their seats, and the,
listened to the report with close atten
| tion and applauded IL warmly.
| Mr.. Hooker stated that, In the opin
ion OF the committee, the Presidents
| veto raised every possible objection
| and 1t WAS the intention of the commit
tee by its report to answer them. He
said that many gentlemen had spoken
to him shout discussing the veto, and
If he had consented to give them all
the time asked for it would run over
three or four days. The matter was
one for the House to determine; il It
wanted to engage in debate, well and
good. In order to test the sense of the
House on the question, and without ex-
pressing any opinion as to the desira-
bility OF the course indicated, he would
ask the previous question on the mo-
tion to pass the bill. (Applause.)
Mr.. Dockery, Democrat, of Missouri,
and several other members were on
their feet demanding recognitlon. The
former with great vehemence of man
ner denounced the course of the gen.
tleman from New YOr6 :. Hooker),
shouting "The gentleman agreed
with me yesterday that there should

unfair and unmanly TO cut us off this
way"
Mr.. Hooker seemed about to yield to
Mr.. Dockery's demand, but many mem
bers interposed with cries for "the reg
ular order" and the vote on ordering
the previous question was taken. It
resulted: Yeas 179, nays 60.
Mr.. Dockery demanded the yeas and
nays. but could muster only 46 mem-
bers to second his demand, not a suffl-
cient number, and that announcement
was greeted with derisive cries of tri-
umph from friends Of the bill.
The Speaker put the question: cup
on reconsideration, will the House pass
the bill, the objection of the President
to the contrary Notwithstanding 2"
WhereupOu Mr.. Dockery made an
other effort to secure hearing. So
mildly as to be almost pathetic he in
quired: upon the question OF passing
a bill over the Presidents veto there
can be no debate under the course pur-
sued by the gentleman in CHARGE"
The Speaker {: "When the House of
K Representatives has so voted there can

Stifled debate" And he sank into his
seat amidst general laughter.
The vote was then taken on the pas
sage of the bill over the Presidents
veto, the Constitution requiring that
1t should be done by yeas and nays.
