Immediately upon the converting OF
the House, Dalzell, Pa, from the com
| mittee on rules, presented the special
order for the consideration Of the omni-
bus public buildings bill, under the
terms of which the bill without oppor-
tunity for amendment would b.
brought to a direct vote after three
hours of general debate.
Dreamer, n. ", raised the point Of
order that the special order suspended
the rule which permitted the offering
Of amendments and that no rule could
be suspended without a two thirds
vote.
The Speaker overruled the point of
order whereUpot Craemer appealed
from the decision Of the Chair.
Dalzell promptly moved to lay the
appeal on the table. When the Speaker
put the motion 4 great chorus from
both sides Of the House went up in
support Of Dalzelrs motion while only
a few scattering noes arose in demand
for the other side.

Richardson said he had none. He
had not asked for any but he was I'M
alterably opposed to this method OF
legislation. There was ample time for
the consideration for the separate
items III the bill This was simply a
proposition which compelled members
to vote for a wholesale appropriation
of about SIC, 100000 for public buildings
or not have any public building legis-
lation at this session.
Marcer, Neb., chairman of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds,
in support of the rule said that his
committee had considered bills carry
ing appropriations aggregating S67,-
100000. The committee recognized the
necessity for public buildings but ali
could not be provided at this session
of Congress. There would be other
Congresses, he said after this. The
committee carefully had considered ali
the bills and the bill to be considered
on the rule had been the result.

New York, April 29.-The following

weakness, which persists. He has not

very we'll and holding his own"
The afternoon bulletin. which is usu-
ally issued at about $50 o'clock, was
not given out until after 3 o'clock.
This. in connection with the fact that
Or. E. G.. JaneWay was called into con-
sultation, was looked upon as suggest
ing thai the archbishOp's condition had
by no means improved. The bulletin
read as follows:
"The archbishop is about as last re-
ported, but is doing well.
-(Signcd) "E. L. KEYES,
"FIlANCIS DELAFIELD,
Re. q. JANEWAY."
DR.. Keyes came out Of the arch
bishops residence a little before the
bulletin was issued. He said:
The condition of the archbishop is
serious but not critical. We sent for
DR.. JaneWay because the archbishop
had undergone Il little collapse and il
was thought best to call in DR.. Jane
way. That, however, does not indicate
that there is anything out Of the ordi-
nary"
DR. Reyes said that Archbishop Cor
rigan had partakcn Of two meals, to
day, at one Of which he had a little beef
and beef extract. He had also had q
glass Of champagne and the doctor said
he expected the patient to take another
glass of champagne, tonight.
