Mr.. RICHARDSON OBJECTED.
TO IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF
FINANCIAL BILL.

Such n Proceeding, He Said, Was I'm
usual, and He Insisted That the
Measure Go TO the Proper Commit
tee-ROberts Was in His Seat in
Spite of the InVestigatiOn-COm
mittee on Rules Named to Consider
Question of Debate.
Washington. Dec. THE session of the
House lasted only half an hour to-day.
Mr.. Overstreet, Indiana, in charge of
the financial bill, attempted to reach an
agreement for its consideration next week,
but Mr.. Richardson, on behalf of the
minority, rejected all proposals, on the
ground that a bill as important as this
should go through the regular channels.
The Speaker thereupon appointed the
Committee on Rules, which is to include
himself, Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Mr..
Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr.. Richardson of
Tennessee and Mr.. Bailey of Texas. They
win hold a meeting tomorrow, and decide
upon a rule for the limits of the debate,
which will undoubtedly consume the whole
of next week.
Mr.. Roberts, the Mormon representative,
despite the adoption of the Tayler resolu
ton, which, in terms, deprives him of his
seat during the tendency of his case in
committee, was in the hall throughout
the session, and occupied the seat he Sc
lected on Monday.
Mr.. Meyer of Louisiana announced that
he had been incorrectly recorded as voting

day. He had voted mo"
Overstreet Wanted to Push 1t.
Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, in charge OF
the financial bill, then arose for the pur-
pose of reaching an agreement, If possible,
for the consideration of the finance bill.
He asked that an arrangement be made
for commencing the debate next Tuesday.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader, said
the proposal was unusual. 1t was that a
most important measure, perfected in all
it's details during the recess by members
on the other side, should be brought into
the House without having been consid-
cred in committee and taken up on two
days notice. He insisted that the bill
should go. to a committee for first con-
sideration. There was no immediate can
for the passage of this BILL and he object
ed to the proposed arrangement.
Mr.. Overstreet asked unanimous consent

Mr.. Meyer Of Nebraska then announced
the death of the late Representative Green

the customary resolution, the House, al

Boston, Dec. 1.-The theological depart

shaken not a little by the withdrawal OF
nine Students because they considered the

The movement began with a petition to
the trustees against the appointment OF
the professor when his term expired this
month. The body of students who agreed
with the professors teachings sent I'm a
contemplation, and he was retained.
The nine students then laid their case
before the Board of Bishops of the M.

ulty of Boston University notified them
that they must cease further agitation.
They severed their connection with the in
stitution. Prof. Mitchell declines to be In
