bs Nj. Hale. Mr.. Morgan de-
-elared that the speaker Of the house
was enforcing an automatic trap
door rule L, which representatives
were assembled and dispersed and
lle characterized this action as an
outrage against popular rights. Mr..
\ Frye of Maine hrst gave warning
Aaa.at a protest would be made
asssieisMS of the other
agalnse MIR, Morgan We.
house and when --st,aisms.
h.mently repeated his ca :
air. Hale of Maine, made POM
pa lder against him The temp
erarv presiding officer directed Mr..
t3Eo, gan to resume his seat and then
ruled that he was Gut OF order.
TIE alabama senator somewhat
chagriised, was about to appeal
from the decision ofthe chair when
MIR Hale withdrew is point OF
order and further friction was
ayoided. Mr.. Morgan resumed his
critic :, d,sring the tarltf debate

~ a. Lewis of Washingto' fol-
B,o. "a the suggestion of Senator

Aesase of representatives He de-
.s,fsred that the house by its auto
o,sstie system adjournlng twice a
z7aieek had violated the. constitution
and thereby effected dissolution
If the extra session of congress.
This proposition advanced by SEN
ator Morgan is considered serious
3y by the Democrats and they
uould probably endeayor to'secure

j if they were not very DESTROYS
II s44.ing the tariff bill passed

ssnss.ts- for the loss of revenue
which those two articles would
lroduce The first proposition was
az provide tax only on bank
u Lr.ks but this has been broadened

- d. lag = money transaction.
4 com nittee has not definitely
..~.'~t "led upon the substitution, but
n Ii gone SO far as to ask that an
l. q il be made as to the amount
asf revenue that could be counted
a4s IA from the source indicated and
= ,,ato familiar with the situation
q = die, with the utmost confidence
- 5 ii e change will be made.
The timetable heart of Senator
a;landler beats with Joy because of
. > news from France. The min
sD.,er OF fnarce M. Meline, has an
ssUunce that the French govern
nrent is ready to join the United
States in bimetallic agreement.
At ~ the opening wedge said
sss~.,atoF Chandler, ''and must be so
gssartlrd. =
will thu action of France have
"a ! tfrct on England and Ger
as,-,n,2,
,Undoul teddy it will. If the
bimetallic commissioners from this
eonntry have informed the Europ-
ssan leaders, ~ suppose they have
done or will do, that unless, some
hang is done for bimetallism the
,e.,ple will vote By an overwhelm-
n 4 majority Tor the free coinage OIL
s~slyer, which will mean, temporar-
aay, at least, silver monometallism,
