Representative Dickey brought up
the amendment to the rules of which
he gave notice yesterday. He said that
every morning after tho reading and
translation of the minutes, there were
several minutes of absolute silence
like that of Quaker meeting, lasting
until he got up and moved that the
be approved. He saw no rea-
son why the Speaker should not de-
clare the minutes approved if there
were no objection. 1t was to accom-
plish this object that he proposed his
amendment to the rules. There was
silence following his remarks like the
silence he had just described There
was no second to his amendment, and
the daily out momentary silence will
probably continue.
