of the resolution 1t was referred to a
committee, of which my colleague from
New Hampshire (Mr. Gallinger) was a
member l went to him and counseled
him to do all in his power to aid the in
vestigation, but unfortunately he does
not always heed my advice. The reso-
luton went to its death ON the fourth
day of March, and it was not the fault
of the Chandler or the Gallinger family,
but the fault of the Jones family, as the
chairman of the committee was Mr..
Jones of Nevada, and Mr.. Jones Of Ar
kansas, was, also a member of the COM
mittee"
Mr. Jones of Arkansas replied to this
by saying that he was ready to go on
with the investigation. He had con-
sidered at the time that no reliable evil
dence could be obtained, as those who
had committed fraud would not tell the
truth about it.
Mr.. Butler was then allowed to go on
with his speech. and was not interrupted
again.
The committee amendments of schedule
''B'' were then agreed to with no change
except exempting natural spring waters
from taxation. This completed the bill up
to the bond provision, and Mr. Allison
tried to get an agreement to vote today
on the entire measure. Mr.. Jones said
that while he had no doubt the bill could
be finished today. he did not favor an
agreement TO that effect. Mr.. Allison
then requested senators TO come today
prepared TO stay until final vote was
taken on the bill.
Mr.. White gave notice that he would
offer an amendment taxing the gross re-
ceipts of sleeping car corporations one

one is TO the effect that. Satan trem-
bles when he sees the meanest saint
upon his knees" We do not wish 10
refer TO Thomas B. Reed as the ''vilest
sinner" because that might be con-
strued as libellous, and mar the joy
we feel over his return to the fold of
common sense in connection with the
annexation of Hawaii. The other quo
tation We can affard to treat with more
freedom. 1t is a joy to see the auto
crat of the suppressed House of Rep
resentatives upon his knees, and we
are quite sure that if he can be ac-
corded a halo in any sense, neither
Satan nor We ever saw a meaner saint.
