QouDled as the members labored during the
last few precious moments. The reading
OF the journal had not been concluded be-
fore the clerk of the Senate announced the
passage OF the House Cuban resolutions
with Senate amentlhenss Instantly the
galleries were all attention and members
leaned forward in their seats. The leaders
lures.
The first move was important. As the
resolutions were read the declaration with
regard TO the recognition of the independ-
ence of Cuba was yooferously cheered by
the Democrats. This demonstration was re-
peated when the reading was concluded
Both Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader of the
majority, and Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, were on their feet. Mr. Dingley vas
recognized by the speaker and Immediately
moved to concur in the Senate amendments,
with an amendment striking out the clause
in the first resolution which recognizes the
independence of the existing republic. The
actual form Of the mocion.. which was re-
duced to writing. was follows
move 10 concur in the Senate amend
ments to the House joint resolution with
an amendment striking out OF the first
words and that the government of the
United States hereby recognizes the repub-
lie of Cuba as the true and lawful govern
nent of that island, so that the first para
graph of the Senate amendments will read
as follows: First, that the people of the
island of Cuba of right ought to be free and
independent "
Upon his motion, Mr.. Dingley demanded
the previous question. which served to cut
oil amendment and debate.
Mr.. Bailey, who was still upon his feet,
asked if the motion to concur with an
amendment precluded a motion to concur,
and was informed by the speaker that it
would not if the motion was voted down.
1t was moment of intense excitement.
JOHNSON HOWLED DOWN.
Mr.. Johnson Rep., Ind) and Mr. Brom-
well Qep., Ohio were on their feet, both
demanding recognition to state preliminary
Inquiries The former wanted to ask unani-
nous consent to address the House iii an
tagonism to the motion. He was howled
down, but when MIR. Bromwell, a moment
later, declared that he wished to offer a
motion to concur the Democratic side sent
up cheer uron cheer. The Republican side
was ominously silent. The speaker sternly
commanded order and then informed Mr..
Bromwell that his motion could not be en-
tertained until that of Mr.. Dingley's had
been disposed of.
Mr.. Bailey, under cover Of making a par
Iamentary inquiry, brought out clearly the
fact that unless the motion of Mr.. Dingley
was voted down the House could not vote
on the motion to concur, Of which Mr..
Bromwell had given notice.
Mr.. SulZer (Dem., N. VI attempted to in
terpose with the point CT order that Mr..
BromwelIs motion took precedence over
rules in his hand and was prepared to ar
que the question, but the speaker uncere-
moniouSly declined to hear him.
No division was asked on the motion for
the previous question but upon the main
question Il chorus of demands from both
sides went up for the ayes and noes. The
roll was watched with intense interest. The
Democrats started in to applaud every Re
publican who voted mo- but the promised
detection of over twenty-five members on
the Republican side did not materlalize.
The Democrats only had fourteen oppor-
tunitieS to applaud 1t was apparent be-
fore the end of the first roll call that they
