 Mir. Hurley of Tennessee asked MT. Spooner why it would not be well for con- gress to wait until the courts had passed upon the question before appropriating this money.

 The Quay Case
 The bill had not been disposed of when MT. Penrose asked that the resolution in regard to the seating of Hon. s. M. Quay as senator from Pennsylvania be taken up, saying that he was satisfied that there were senators who were seeking to delay the resolution so as to render it impossible to secure vote during the present session.
