Mr.. Sherman called attention to the
discrepancy in the two journals Of the
two houses as to the action of the
house on the Cuban resolutions adopt
ed by that body. He said the house
resolutions had been reported as a
substitute for the senate resolutions,
but they had, through the house clerk,
been reported to the senate as indie
pendent resolutions. He asked to have
the senate journal corrected to CORE
spond with the action Of the house.
The request led to an
EXCHANGE OF VIEWS.
Lodge supported the request of Mr..
Sherman, calling attention to the rec
ord of the house proceedings to show
the intention of that body.
Messrs. Platt,. Chandler, German and
others took the position that the dis
crepancy was due to the action OF the
clerk of the house: that the mistake
corrected formally either by the house
or its clerk. They called attention to
the fact that the resolutions had been
reported to the senate as an indeDen-
dent house measure and claimed that,
so far as the senate was officially in
formed through the house officials the
resolutions have that position.
The incident was temporarily closed
by request from Sherman to lay the
matter aside until the house should
officially advise the senate of its ac-
ton.
