that d. had abandoned any expectation

HOT HOUSE SESSION
Simpson Of Kansas Demands That
Reed Appoint Committees.
HE'LL BLOCK LEGISLATION
Then Walker Shows an Inclina alton
to Oppose the Resolution Ex-
tending Relief to Missis-
appl Flood Sufferers.

NdSninston, April The mouse act-
ed promptly to-day on the presidents
message and adopted a joint resolution
authorizing the secretary OF war to ex-
pend 100000 for the relief OF the flood
sufferers in the Mississippi valley. The
most interesting feature OF the session
was the passage between Simpson. the
Kansas populist. and Speaker Reed.
simpson gave voice TO the opposition
to the speakers temporary policy OF
uaction which has been smoldering in
some quarters by speaking on the ques-
tion of privilege. He finished fiery
denunciation of the speaker by de-
manding that he appoint the commit
tees Of the house at once and gave no.
tice that he would prevent any attempt
Tn do business by unanimous consent.
Several republicans attempted to stem
the tide of Simpsons attack. but Reed
seemed to desire to hear Il and de-
clined to interfere He listened calmly
to the speech and then. with his usual
GOODNESS, replied that the speaker was
merely an instrument of the house:
that he had enforced what he supposed
TO be the policy desired by the majority
and the house had the power to COM
mand the speaker IL 1t disapproved his
course. Republicans expressed their
approval by a round of handclapping.
After the presidents message had
been read, Catchings asked consent for
immediate consideration OF the joint
resolution authorizing the secretary Of
war to distribute ratjons among the
sufferers. II appronriates 5000 ooo for
