MIR. Ames, of Massachusetts, followed
with practically the same remedy.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, took the
floor against continuance of imlnigra-
ton from southern Europe.
In ~endeavoring to make a ten-minute
speech against haZing Mr.. Sims, of
tennessee, provoked q general discus

nNiou to find a remedy.
