alluded to Sherman as the supposed
Premier of the next administration,
which would be pledged to protection

making provision for the treasury, the
responsibility will be with those who
control legislation.

| HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
| WASHINGTON, May 20.-The House
! disposed of the immigration question
| to-day by passing the Mccall educa-
tional test bill, together with the Cor
liss bill, intended to protect the lake
cities from Canadian competition. The
latter was agreed to-121 to 45-and the
amended bill was passed-195 to %. A
record of the votes by yeas and nays
was refused, only three members ris-
ing to second the demand by Fitzger-
aid Dem.) of Massachusetts, therefor.
| The Consular inspection bill proposed
| by w. A. Stone Rep) of Pennsylvania
as rejected-25 to 131. He, too, was
una BILE to get vote of record. The de-
bate on the question was participated

| Massachusetts and Bartholdt Dem)
of Missouri in support of the educa-
tional test bill, and by Mahany (Rep)
of New York and Hendrick Oem) of
Kentucky against any additional re-
StrictiOnS.
The continuation of the debate was
preceded by a sensational outbreak in
the Republican ranks against the man
agement of the majority. 1t was pre-
cipitated by the presentation of an or
| der from the Committee on Rules by
Henderson Rep) of Iowa, setting aside
| Thursday and Friday (private bill day
under the rules for the consideration
| of the measures reported from the
Committee on Labor. 1t was opposed
by Walker (Rep) of Massachusetts,
Picker (Rep) of South Dakota, Chair
man of the Committee on Invalid PEN
sions, and Mahon (Rep.) of Pennsylva
mia, Chairman Of the Committee on War
Claims, who protested against de-
priving the House of the opportunity
to consider and dispose Of bills ON the
private calendar.
Walker vehemently denounced the
leaders" and asserted that their reign
wotnd come TO an end with this Con-
gress; that in the next House rules
would be adopted by which business
could be transacted in accordance
Herewith, or nothing would be done.
He condemned in bitter terms the poll
! icy which prevented the Government
from paying its honest debts, de-
| nouncing it as shame and
disgrace such as no other coun-
| try in the world labored under,
| and asserted that the same policy had
/ been pursued in all the Congresses of
which he had been a member by de-
| sign of the leaders. Although l have
| been a member of Congress for eight
| years" he exclaimed, Il get no more
| consideration than a dog"
| Mahon gave notice that in the next
| session of Congress no bills would be
! passed by unanimous consent; that they
/ must all take their chances on the con-
sideration of calendars
The management of the House was
| defended by Cannon (Rep) of Illinois,
| Henderson Rep) of Iowa and Dalzell
| tRep.) of Pennsylvania.
While the latter was spea king Walker
interrupted him to say that demagogy
won't CO." whereupon Dalzell retorted,
white with passion: 'I will not suffer
! myself to be interrupted by the impu-
dence of the gentleman from Massachu-
setts''
| MahonS 5 motion to recommit the or
Ger, with instructions to give the Com
mittee on Labor till next Tuesday in
| stead of Friday, was defeated, and the
order was adopted
