ests OF tho country, and contribute
largely to its prosperity"
There was an unusually large mum
ber of members in their seats, and the,
listened to the report with close atten
tion and applauded it warmly.
Mr.. Hooker stated that, In the oEin
ion of tho committee, the President's
veto raised every possible objection
and it was the intention of the commit
tco by its report to answer them. He
said that many gentlemen had spoken
to him about 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
ono for the House to determine: If it
wanted to engage in debate, wcll and
good. In order to test the sense OF the
pressing any opinion rs to the dcslra-
bility Of the course indicated, he would
ask tho previous question on the mo-
tion to pass tho bill. (Appausc.)
Mr.. DOckcry, Democrat, Of Missouri,
and several other members were on
their feet demanding recognition. The
former with great vchemcnce Of man
ner denounced the course of the gen
tlcman from New YORK (Mr. Hookcr)
shouting '"The gentleman agreed
with inc yesterday that there should
be opportunity for debate. 1t is unjust,
unfair and uEmanly TO cut us OIL this
way"
Mr.. Hooker seemed about to yield to
Mr.. Dockcry's demand, but many mcm-
bcrs intcrpOsed with cries for "the rcg-
ular crdcr," and the vote on ordering
tho previous question was taken. 1t

Mr.. DOckcry demanded the yeas and
nays, but could muster only l6 mcm-
bcrs to second his dcmand, not q sutli-
cicnt number, and that announcement
was greeted with dcrisivc cries of tr-
umph from friends of tho bill
The Speaker put the question cup
on reconsideration, will the House pass
tho bill, tho objection of the President
to the contrary Notwithstanding ~
Whcrcupou MIR. DOckery made an.
other effort to secure hearing. Sc
mildly as to be almost pathetic he in
quired: "Upon the question of passing
Il bill over tho Presidents veto there
can be no debate under the course pur-
sued by the gentleman in CHARGE"
Tho Speaker "Whcn tho House OF
be no debate" (Applauso.)

Stillcu debate" And he sank into his
scat amidst general laughter.
