Mr.. Lacey interrupted to say that he
had no idea that one-half the ginners OF
cotton made reports to the Agricultural
department.
Mr.. Culberson said that in November last
the Agricultural department issued esti-
mates OF cotton Of such a nature that the
price Of cotton rose 80 a bale. He thought
that showed q lack Of information prior to
that time. Mr.. Allison replied that the
reports issued By private concerns had esti-
mated the cotton crop last year as much
greater than 1t proved to be.
Money ORers Amendment
Mr.. Money proposed an amendment to the
amendment so that the bulletins should be
issued weekly, beginning September I, OF
each year and extending to and including
February /. The amendment to the amend
ment was agreed to and the amendment as
amended was then adopted without diviss
lon.
Mr.. Allison moved that the paragraph au-
thorizing the director Of the census to col
lect cotton statistics be stricken out, but
the motion was lost.
Section four Of the bill, on motion OF Mr..
McComas, was amended so as to provide
that the four chief statistieians should be
appointed by the director. with the APP
prevail OF the head of the department, to
which the census once shaIl be attached.
The bill was passed.
The following bills were then passed:
To promote the eficiency Of the revenue
cutter service, the principal feature Of the
measure being provisions for the retire.
ment OF revenue cutter officers. authorizing
the secretary Of the navy to give to Hsr-
ward university certain colors, a silver cup
and a Nordenfeldt gun:. providing for the
appointment Of w. II. Crawford as an as
sistant engineer Of the navy on the retired
list; authorizing the secretary Of the navy
to appoint George II. Paul a warrant ma
chinist in the navy; providing for the re-
tirement Of petty officers and enlisted men
OF the navy; TO provide for the extension Of
the charters Of national banks (Mr. Aldrieh,
chairman OF the finance committee explain
ing that the measure extended no new priv
ileges to the banks, but simply enabled
those whose charters were about to expire
TO renew them; authorizing the collector OF
internal revenue to return bank drafts,
checks and deposits and orders for the pay
ment Of money having imprinted stamps
thereon to the owners thereof; placing
Henry Biederbick. J. r. Frederick, Francis

Il sustained the ruling Of Speaker Crisp,

Mr.. Richardson thereupon appealed from
the decision Of the chair and the speaker
declined to hear argument on the appeal
because the previous question already had
been ordered.
Mr.. Dalzell moved to lay the appeal upon
the table.
This motion was carried, 165 to 1913.
Mr.. Calderhead, REPUBLICAN Of Kansas,

there was no break on either side on the
subsequent adoption of the rule itself,
which was carried, 1853 to 100.
Richardson Springs n Surprise.
Upon the announcement Of the vote Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, sprang a
surprise. Rising in his seat he said: Mr..
Speaker, l rise to make a request for
unanimous consent. In view OF the fact
that we are not permitted to amend the
pending bill and in view Of the fact that
the two days debate is absolutely impos-
sible under the rule, l ask that the bill be

both sides.)
Member looked at each other in amaze
ment. Only a few of the democrats had
knowledge of the contemplated coup, and
none of the republicans had wind Of 1t.
The speaker put the request and raised his
gayel.-
''Is there objection? ?" he asked. He waited
a moment. Not a sound was heard,
The chair hears none" said the speaker.
as he brought his gavel down with q
whack. Then spontaneously from both
sides the applause rang out. At one mo-
ment all debate was wiped out, and the
clerk, by direction Of the speaker, read the
bill.
The verbal amendments were agr~-d 10
in gross. Mr.. Payne, the majority leader,
demanded the yeas and nays upon the final
passage of the bill.
The bill was passed unanimously, 27S
members voting AYE"
The announcement Of the result was APP
plauded on both sides.
At 1850 D. m. the house adjourned.

refer to some history. After calling at
tention to the fact that not . member on

the adoption OF the rule for the considera-
tion OF the Philippine tariff bill, a rule

he told how the democrats in the Fifty
