Speaker Cannon delivered a mild
lecture to the membership of the
house Monday by stating that in these
closing days of the present session
more business of vital Importance to
the nation would be transacted than

was absolutely necessary that close at

bers to the business in hand, which
could not be done unless order be
observed. By unanimous consent it
was decided that the house should sit
from eight until eleven o'clock in the
evening to consider, in committee of
the whole, the bill to simplify the law
in relation to the collection of rev.
enues.

Congress Tied on Insurance.
Congress has no right to regulate
insurance, according to the senate
committee on the Judiciary. A report
from that committee was presented
to this effect by Senator Spooner.
The report was made on resolution
instructing the committee to inquire
whether congress has such a right.
The report was as follows:
"The committee on the judiciary
begs leave to report that it is the
unanimous opinion of the committee
that the congress is without authority
under the constitution to supervise
and regulate the business of marine,
fire and life insurance except in the
District of Columbia, the territories
and the insular possessions Of the
United States" ssss p .,5,. -. ID
The committee promises to give its
reasons at later date. The report
