Takes Up the Resolution as 1t Has Been
Cut by the House.

Washington, April 19.-The senate was
engaged in general legislation yester-
day when at 2:53 p. m. the message
clerk of the house of representatives
appeared at the main entrance with a
package of bills and resolutions in hand.
Almost Immediately Vice President Ho-
bart, interrupting the debate, recog-
nized the clerk. He presented to the
senate several bills and resolutions
which had been passed by the house
including that relating to the interven-
ton of the United States in the Cuban
rebellion. There was an instant COM
motion in the chamber. Scores of men,
bers of the house were on the floor
awaiting the action of the senate upon
the house amendments. Davis, chair
man of the foreign relations committee,
requested that the message from the
house concerning the Cuban resolutions
be laid before the senate.
After the reading of the message Da-
Wis addressed the senate, and moved
that the senate concur in the house
amendments. The motion was defeated
-32 to As. Davis then moved that the
senate insist upon its amendment to the
house resolution, and that the president
Of the senate appoint its cOnferrees. The
first part of this motion was agreed to.
but the last was defeated. and the sun
dry civil bill taken up. While the bill
was pending the clerk OF the house of
representatives had entered the chamber
and was awaiting recognition. The clerk
presented to the senate the house,
notification that the house had insisted
upon its amendments and asked for a
conft renee. The message was at once
laid Eefore ;he senate. Davis moved
that the senate disagree to the house
amendments and that the request for a
conference be agreed to, and further

HOUSE IN A TURMOIL FOR HOURS.
Heed and Bailey Have Another Clash Over
Parliamentary Point.

washington. April 19.-For two hours
yesterday forenoon the national house
Of representatives was in a turmoil.
1t was called to order at 10 o'clock and
adjourned Immediately, an old rule
having been dug up which prevented
the house receiving communications
from the senate when that body was
not IN session. Inasmuch as the senate
did not meet until IL o'clock there was
nothing to do but adjourn until that
hour. The time was put in caucusing
In the committee rooms and on the floor
over the proposition to concur in the
senate resolutions with the Turpie
amendment recognizing the present in
surgent government stricken out, and
also the words ARE and i'm the resolu-
tion declaring that 'the people of Cuba
are and Of right ought to be free and
independent"
A motion to that effect was prepared
by Hopkins and was to have been offer.
ed BY him, but on consultation that duty
was transferred to Dingley, the rec
ognized organization leader. When the
house met therefore Dingley was recog-
nixed to make the motion. and demand

upon his feet. asked If the motion 10

by the speaker that it would not il the
motion was voted down. 1t was a mo-
ment Of intense excitement. After n
rather warm time the resolutions as
amended by the house were sent back

the Republicans. All the Democrats
voted nay. Berry and Boutelle simply
announced their presence. Just after
this vote was announced a very sensa.

much as no debate upon the proposition
Suyt voted upon had been had, to be al
lowed to address the house for an hour
on the peace side OF the question, which
he said had not been presented TO the
