The general deficiency and the sundry
civil conference reports were agreed to.
IN the house, questions arising out Of
yesterdays debate came up In the form Of
a ruling by the speaker on question
OF privilege and the consideration Of the
Cochran resolution The chair ruled that,
after a searching analysis Of the proceed
ings, Even though It were ascertaned TO
be a fact that the gentleman from New
York had committed crime in 1895, IT
would be doubtful whether the house could
punish him. The charge against him con
stitutes no crime, question Of propriety
only being involved. The house cannot
have been committed before the person
charged became a member. Therefore Cock
rams resolution was not privileged"
