who had been selected as referee in the
controversy between Messrs. Bartlett,
democrat, Georgia), and Brum, Gre
publican, Pennsylvania, over the sensa-
tional personal encounter of last We'd
nesday. then read a statement TO which
both had subscribed. The apology to
the House was made through Mr.. Sher-
man. who stated that the matter had
been adjusted satisfactorily to both gen
tlemen. and that both had apologiZed.
This honorable settlement of the diff
Guilty which had been the subject of
comment among the members for several
DAYS. was received with general express
sions of approval The House then
quieted down and proceeded under the
call of committees to the consideration
of minor matters.
At $40 p. III. the resolutions were re-
turned to the House with the Senate's
decision to non-doncur. Mr. Dinghy
moved that the House insist upon its

ton. As the previous question cut off
debate the Speaker ordered the roll

ton to concur with an amendment on
