The Democrats supported the motion
Senator Morgan criticised the house for
not considering the Cuban resolution.
He said the house of representatives, vas

order by Senator Hale, and the chairman
directed the Alabama senator to take his
seat. He then appealed from the decision.
Hale withdrew the point but Morgan
nevertheless was cut off by Senator
Quay, asking vote on the adjournment
