 At tie conclusion of Mir. Grosvenor's re- marks the special order was adopted with division and the resolution passed. ; The resolution for special appropriation for the government printing office was also adopted under special order and another order was adopted for the consideration of the bill to prevent collisions in harbors and inland waters of the United States. The debate on this order was sprin1led with ad ditional comment on the method under which the house was standing
 MT Simpson, replying to Mir. Grosvenor, said there was no need of leadership on the minority. They were all leaders over here They were not like sheep who had to be led over the fence every day by the leading billy goat"
 Mr. Simpson attempted to read from Senator Morgans speech, but the speaker would not permit him to do so. Comments on proceedings in the other house would lead to disputes and disturb the harmony that should prevail between the two houses.
 MT. Cannon, republican, of Illinois, pre- sented the order for the consideration of the bill preventing collisions. and also the conference report on the sundry civil ap- propriation bill.
 The striking out of the section resembling President Cleveland's timber reservation order was opposed, but the report was agreed to.
 The house then resumed the eonsidera- ton of the preventing collisions bill. Mir. Payne, in charge of the bill, was warned that quorum would be needed to pass the bill and he immediately moved an adjourn ment. He refused to withdraw the motion to permit MT. Cooper, dem., of Texas, to move the passage of the bill for the relief of the El Paso flood sufferers.
 At 4:30 the house adjourned until Thurs daU
