ity Not Attacked.
Not Amenable to House
for Crine-WilliamS
Appeals.

The resolution Offered BY Bourks
Cochran asking for an investigation Of
his conduct is not privileged. The
Speaker Of tha House has so ruled.
Speaker Cannon rules that tie order
ly course Of business in the House could
be interrupted only by questions going
to the integrity of the House or the in
tegrity of a member il his representa-
tive capacity only
Such a question, he decided, was not
raised by the Cochran resolution. The
offenss charged against the membeg
from New York, if committed at al,
was not committed when he was
meraber or a member-elect.
Il was I:15 D. m. today before tho
questions arising out OF the Dalzell-
Cochran debate Of yesterday were reach
ed. They came Up first on railing OF
the Chair on the question of highest
privilege and immediate consideration
of the resolution offered yesterday 3y

for an investigation of the charge made
against him by Mr.. Dalzeli Of Pennsyi-
vania. that in the campaign Of 1896 he

Cites Kentucky Case.
The Speaker went back to 1886 in his
search for precedent, quoting the case
Of Senator Marshall Of Kentucky. who
was charged with perjury, committed
eighteen months before his election 70
the Senate. also the case of Represen-
tative o. P Matheson. in 1855. who was
held to be accountable only 10 the
people for his alleged offense.
He quoted Speaker Carlisle to the
effect that the House cannot take cog
nizance Of any offense alleged 10 have
been committed before the person
charged with ii became a member OF
the House.

even though it were an ascertained
fact that the gentleman from New York
committed a crime in 1886. it would be
doubtful whether the House could pun

The floor.
The Washington times., 1904-04-27

To a number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives he brOached the matter for
serious consideration and a number Of
his closest advisers were asked as to
whether IL would be advisable TO call
Congress in extraordinary session. From
his statements to the Representatives =
is evident that the President regards the
present session as practically closed. 1t
IS now the belief that he Will force the
issue TO the limit
THE Crum case must be settled either
now or at an extra session called espe-
cially for that purpose" This is tie
way in which the uItimatum is regarded
and the news has come in most startling
form to many members of botn houses.
President Determined.
The statement that the President is
seriously considering the extra session
was obtained from authoritative sources,
and there can be but little doubt that
the Chief Executive is fully determined
TO bring the case 10 a settlement once
and for all.
The case has dragged along from one
session of Congress to another because
of the persistent and implacable oppo-
sition of Senator Tnlman II has caused
a much confused condition Of affairs in
the matter of recess appointments. -
and was one Of the cases especially con-
nected with the PRONUNCIATION OF the
constructive recess" idea between the
end of the special session Of Congress
and the beginning Of the regular ses-

JAPANESE FORCES
CROSS THE YALU

ST PETERSBURG. April H.-The
censor's committee did not give out last
night the dispatches received regarding
the movements Of the Japanese across
the Yalu River
IL was intimated that Information had
been received that the japanese had
crossed the river. but this was ac-
companied by a declaration that the
success OF the enemy should In no
sense be regarded as an important VIC
tory. the Russians having no inten-
ton OF vigorously contesting the pas
sage. their plan being TO annoy the
enemy as much as possible.
From the dispatches here it is evident
that in order 10 render a crossing
feasible. the japanese made a feint on
TatungKao. while the troops actually
crossed some miles up the river, near
Tchangdiou. Two companies were first

SENATORS TO GET
A NEM BUILDING

The House convened at 10 O'Clock to-
day. having taken recess last night
until that hour The galleries were
crowded a half hour before that time
in anticipation Of the renewal Of the
excitement and debate of yesterday
There were also present a lerse number
of members.
Representative Hemenway called up
the conference report on the general de-
iciencv bin and ii was adopted after q
brief debate, which disDoses OF that
measure.
The conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill was then taken
up and considered. Mr.. De Almond op-
posed the provision for the erection OF
an Office building for the Senate. He
said the Senators should be satisfied
with their present quarters. They now
have an Office building. and the proposi-
ton TO spend SS000. 900 for another one
would simply mean that e.ch Senator
desired to have two offices instead of
one. and it would be just as reasonable
for the members of the House 10 ask
for an additional new building as for
the Senate 10 insist upon another once
building.
Heavy Statesmen.
Mr.. Hemenway SAID that the iousS
conferees had urged upon the Senate
conferees that the proposed extension
of the CAPITOL would be sufficient to
meet the demands Of the Senate. The
Senators. however. replied that II would
not. and further that the Maltby build
ing was unsafe and would soon have -
be abandoned.
L believe" said Mr.. DeAimond. ''is
has been suggested that the reason why
the Maltby building is unsafe IS that
1t is sagged down from the weight o1
so many employees Of the Senate. StilL
| believe there are gentlemen who ara
reckless enough 10 take chances II thes
could get IN there
Mr. hemenway moved that the Houss

ment TO provide for building the Senat
