called the attention of the chair TO the
fact that Mr.. De Almond was not dis
| cussing the point of order.
| Mr.. DeArmond said he well understood
| this but he would not finch from his
purpose. He would say no more. But II
| the point of order was sustained he de-
clared that it was his purpose to appeal
from the decision of the chair and give
| the house the opportunity to determine
this question for itself. He felt constrain-
ed to do this, he said, out of a sense of
public duty.
BAILEY TO THE RESCUE.
| Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, re-
inforced the views of Mr.. De Almond, ar
guing that a proposition to recognize a
state of war in Cuba was certainly ger
name to this bill. 1t had been his pur-
pose, he said, to have offered the same
Cuban belligerency resolution as an
amendment The climax of his speech
came when he offered to withdraw the
amendment if Mr.. Hit, the chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, would give
assurances that the senate resolution
would receive consideration within rea-
sonable length of time.
The Democrats appIauded this chal-
lenge He paused to await Mr.. Hits an
swer, but Mr.. Hit did not rise.
1.-The gentleman ditto" added Mr..
Bailey, sis as silent as the Republican
party on this question"
Again the members cheered and the
galleries also applauded. Then Mr.. Hit
arose, but instead of replying to Mr.. Bal
Iey's challenge, he called the attention
of the chair to the fact that Mr.. Bailey
was not discussing the point of order.
''It is an attempt to have two general
Debates" said he
The Democrats jeered this statement
Mr. Hepburn, in the chair, then sustain
ed the point of order, whereupon Mr.. De
Almond, in order to get the question be-
fore the house in better form, offered
the senate Cuban resolution as an amend
ment and when II was overruled made his
appeal from the decision of the chair.
THE PUBLIC CROWDS IN.
BY this time the greatest excitement ex-
listed in the house. The galleries had fill
ed overlooking; messengers had been sent
scurrying to all quarters of the capitol
to summon Republicans who were absent
from the hall. 1t was evident that there
was fear on the part of the house mana
gers that the house might be carried off
its feet on the first occasion of test of
the sentiment toward Cuba.
The house managers made their fight
E.. ,f Il
er. who was in the lobby, came into the
hall and helped to rally his followers. Mr..
Dingley. the floor leader of the majority,
took the floor. He characterized Mr.. De
Almonds appeal from the decision of the
chair as a most extraordinary proposition
1t was a proposition to override the rules
he said, and establish a new mode of pro-
cedure and destroy the orderly transac-
ton of business.
A PARTISAN QUESTION.
''Many a time" he was saying, az
might have been tempted for partisan
purposes
''Then the gentleman comedies this is
a partisan question:" shouted Mr.. Terry
Dem, Ark, that the Democrats are
on one side and the Republicans on the
other?"
Mr.. Dingley waved Mr.. Terry aside and
paid no attention to the interruption.
which the Democrats had applauded- Mr..
Dingley appealed to his side of the house
to sustain the rules of the house. The
Republicans indicated their support by
warm manifestations of APPROVAL
Mr.. De Almond got the floor again, and
in reply urged members on both sides Of
the house to vote 'to free this house for
one hour from a dominion so absolute
that it is impossible to get consideration
for any matter. no matter how import
ant or urgent, without the consent of
those in authority in the house,
1T seems" he added ironically, "to be
our Hottest duty to observe the petty
shifting rules of the house. no matter
where they lead or what the exigencies
of the time demand"
Again, at this point, Mr.. Hit protested
that the debate was not on the question
before the house, and again the minority
jeered.
81 am sticking as close to my text"
shouted Mr.. De Almond. ''as the gentle
man from Maine CIr. Dingley) did"
Mr. De Almond declared that no code of
rules should violate the plain dictates of
humanity and decency.
THE UBIQUITOUS JERRY.
Mr.. Simpson Pop.. Kan0 interrupted
to state that the speaker himself had vio-
lated rule ten by not appointing the COM
again lecturing the house.
Mr.. Henderson CRep.. Ia, a member of
the rules committee, answered with spirit
and much evidence of feeling. He said
the Missouri member Ode Armond) was
again lcturing the house.
He was interrupted by Mr. De .Armond
and the coIloquy was fast as 10 alleged
promises that the new code OF rules
would be presented. When at one point
Mr. De Almond got a round OF applause.
Mr. Henderson exclaimed: at is your
political buncombe that you are applaud
ing There is no committee in this house
so mighty as TO act or retard action I'M
! less the house is behind il. And there is
| no man so mighty as to retard action un-
| less majority of the house is behind
! him"
| The confusion redoubled as the debate
proceeded, many members contending for
/ the floor, while the area in front Of the
! speakers desk was crowded.
Mr.. Henderson gave party shot by de-
| claring that If a majority Of the house
! desired action on the Cuban resolution it
would find means for action.
But II majority is against action on
! shat resolution" he added defiantiy,
