to teach the natives of Tofoland, West
Africa, how to grow cotton have, ac-

was the outcome of a challenge
thrown down by Richardson of Ten.
nessee, the minority leader, after
adoption, by strict party vote, of
special order for the consideration of
the bill which permitted no opportun-
ity to offer amendments, except such
as had been agreed upon by the ways

was adopted by a vote of 1853 to 20
Richardson was the first to empha.
size the fact that debate on the bill
could accomplish nothing and that de.
liberation upon it would be fruitless,
and asked unanimous consent that the
bill be placed upon its passage. No
objection was voiced and the vote was
taken forthwith.
Every vote-27S in numbef-was
cast in the affirmative. and thus quiet.
ly and unanimously came the end of
what at one time had promised to be
