present wants some action taken in
order to see if the committee can not
formulate n measure which will meet
with the approval of the house."
Mr.. Dockery (dem.) of Missouri imme-
diately made the point of order that the
motion was not in oroer.
A parliamentary row followed.
Mr.. Terry (dem.) of Arkansas said his
understanding of parliamentary law was
that the refusal of the house to engross
the bill killed it. and the motion to re-
consider and lay that motion on the
table had put it in its coffin and nailed
the coffin up.
After some further debate upon the
subject, the speakers decision of the
question as to whether the Powers mo-
ton was in order. went over until to-
morrow to give him an opportunity to
examine presidents.
The excitement finally subsidized. Mem
bers retired to the cloak rooms in droves,
and in five minutes there were not over
twenty-five of them on the floor.
The house passed several minor bills,
including one to permit officers of the
regular army who served in the volunteer
service TO wear the uniform of their
highest rank on ceremOnious occasions,
and took up the army appropriation bill.
Mr.. Curtis rep of New York, in
charge of the measure, explained that 1T
was the regular bill and contained no
new features. 1t carried $23, 1854, a
reduction of S155.55S from the bill for
the current year. The bill occasioned
no debate and was passed with few
minor verbal amendments.
Some business on the speakers table
was disposed of. The senate amend
ments to the bill to abolish the death
penalty in certain cases were con-
CURED in.
Under the call of committees, the fol-
lowing bills were passed:
Senate bill to require vessels of fifteen
tons or over, propelled by gas, naptha or
other fluid, to submit to inspection and
comply with the rules; to amend an act
authorizing the appointment of receivers
of national banks; to amend the law for
the organization of national banks so as
to provide that no national bank shall be
organized in cities of $4,000 inhabitants
with less than 100000 capital; in cities
of 10000 with less than 100000; in
cities of 5000, $4,000, and in cities of
1000, $4,000 and to provide an Ameri-
can register for the banks Ceres and
Black Diamond.
At 4:1O p. M. the house adjourned

GOV. ALTGELD WAS SNUBBED
ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS APPEAR
10 HAVE CARRIED THINGS
MOST TOO FAR.
A farewell ADDRESS UNSPOkEN
In the Inaugural Ceremonies the Cover
nor Was Not Permitted to De
claim, Though Present With
That Purpose in View.

Springfield, H.. Jan. 1.-THE inaugu-
.,.,tion of Governor Tanner today de
yelopcd a sensation. At the conclusion
of the state ceremonies the retiring gov
.crnor, John +. Altgeld, was not per
mitted TO deliver the farewell address,
which was one of the features of preyi-
. Gus inaugurations in Illinois. Alleged
had prepared his speech and it had been
given a place OH the printed program
and much interest had conferred in its
anticipated delivery. The snub was
made the more painful to the ex-governor
and his friends from the fact that Mrs
Altgeld occupied n seat beside MN on
the stage and shared the confusion re-
shifting from the affair.
Early in the course Of the exercises 1t
vas moved that Mr.. Altgeld be requested
10 address the joint assembly present at
3 he Inauguration. Speaker Curtis OF the
lower house declared the motion out of
- order and subsequently refused to recog-
nize any democratic member who at
femmed to address the chamber. The
ma jorty of the members of the joint
assembly and the large audience did not
appreciate the significance of this course
until motion to adjourn was carried
and put an unexpected end to the cere-
monies without the retiring governor
having mn opportunity to deliver the adj
dress, which he carried with him to the
stage.
Much Indignation was expressed at the
snub and the democratic members to-
night are bitter in their denunciation of
what they term IAN outrageous insult,
while the republican leaders declare that
the whole affair was nothing more or less
than an oversight on the part of the
speaker in failing to call upon Mr.. Alt
geld for his speech.
Ex-Governor Altgeld left the state
house Immediately upon the conclusion of
The inaugural ceremonies and returned to
Chicago without permitting himself to be
Interviewed upon the affair.
His friends were very indignant and
asserted that the supposed insult would
not injurc the ex-governor in the least,
but would have II contrary effect on him.
