Under wood yielded five minutes to Mir Hay, of Virginia, who immediately tried to prove that the superintendent of police ir Washington was very efficient. He was interrupted by MT. Fitzgerald and others, and his time was soon all gone.
 Then Mir. Underwood yielded five min utes to MT. Williams of Illinois. but the speaker said there were only three min- utes left. MT. Williams remarked that when the Butler contested case was up a few days before there was no discussion allowed so that he would now devote three minutes to it. This notwithstanding the case had been disposed of His time expired before he could get an important paper read by the clerk, so he said he would read it thereafter.
 All this occurred be it remembered, in the debate on a bill to give Porto Rico a delegate. After some further discus sion the bill was adopted without a sin gle vote in the negative. There was no use at all for debate, and what there was related to other subjects. But the incident shows the advantage of control ling the time against a bill for which you are going to vote, because you caE divide it out among your friends who wish to talk about other matters. There is practically very little pretense of con fining discussion to the subject actually before the house.
