OF several roll calls and cuts out the
demand for the previous question on
conference reports was the occasion Of
a lively debate.
Mr.. Williams. Mississippi, protested
against the course of the republican
partisan press in ~attributing the action
Of the minority in the house to REVENGE
against the unseating Of Mr.. Butler.
He said the country should know that
the situation was broader than tn It.
The democratic minority, he said, was
not acting in retaliation; it was teach
ing the majority that it's rights must
be respected. If reasonable time had
been given to discuss and present that
contested election case, he said, the mi
nority would not have been under the
necessity of pursuing it's present course.
Every constitutional and parliament
tary privilege, he said, would be en-
ployed to drive home the democratic
protest and if in the 5Sth congress an
attempt was made to deprive a demo-
crat elected by Sc, 1000 majority of h 8
seat. the same tactics would be pur-
sued.
Mr.. Grosvenor compared the present
situation with that when the democrats
in the 53rd congress in q rule to con-
u III liz 81 II GU SCIIolS III "
ments to the Wilson tariff bill in
gross. The pretext OF the democrats
for their present course, he sa q. was
a flimSy excuse. The minority he sa d.
was trying to ~paralyze the government,
but the majority would not allow it to
do so.
w are not p~aralyzing the govern
ment." interposed Mr.. Williams. of Mis-
SiSSippi. IAN extra session could be
called and such a session would give
congress an opportunity to pass the
Littlefield bill" The rule was adopted
162 to 103.
The conference report on the Alaskan
Homestead bill and the immigration
bill were adopted, the Omnibus house
building bill and the General deficiency
appropriation bill were sent to confer
ence. The Often bill to prohibit oba
co dealers from giving prizes, the bill to
provide for a delegate from Porto REQ:
a bill to advance Major w. G. Gorgas
to the RAJ Of assistant surgeon gen.
eral and a bill for the relief of Lieuten-
ant b. F. Hanforth were passed. That
was the net result of the session UP to
9 O'Clock tonight.
The house adopted the conference re-
port on the pOStoffice and agricultural
bills and shortly before midnight, at
the end of a continuous session Of all
most thirteen hours, took a recess until
II o'clock tomorrow morning.

THE POPULAR cARNATIoN.
Brought From Italy to England Three
Hundred Years Ago.

The original carnation was a FIVE
petaled bloom native in the south Of
Italy. 1t was imported into England
about the time of the Norman Con-
quest. As early as 1919 horticultural
works gave minute directions for the
cultivation of the flowers in winter.
The carnation industry has risen to
considerable Importance during thu
last ten years, according to Town and
Country. AS 2,500,000 of young carna-
tion plants are sold each year and
florists produce an equal amount,
grown by themselves, which are not
sold, the entire production of young
carnation plants approximate 100000
and upward year. These plants are
grown under glass during the winter
time for cut flower purposes, produc-
ing an annual average of more than
100, ,000, 900 blooms. What becomes OF
this enormous number of flowers is
somewhat of mystery. They are put
to innumerable uses.
