mistake OF A HOUSE CLERK some APPREHENSION FELT
Answered to the Name of Member
of Congress Not Even in
the CITY. n

Washington, MAY 19.-Speakerk Cannon
instanced his confidence in thef reading
clerks of the house yesterday Mr. VIII
liams of Mississippi, during the fiibUster
against the bill to pay Samuel Lee $4,000
for expenses incurred during his contest
for seat in the forty-seventh congress
stated that he had heard the name of
member called and that the clerk had
recorded him as voting when as a matter
of fact the member was not in the city.
He said that he thought on several Oc-
casions he had heard clerks respond for
the names of members, but he could not
be certain of this, because his own hear
ing was not good On this occasion, how
ever, he had distinctly heard the clerk
vote the member and he thought there
ought to be a more careful calling Of the
roll
Speaker Cannon replied that the eff
cheney and integrity of the clerk at the
sneakers desk had never been questioned
In fact their worth and honesty were
known to every member. He said that
in this great hall and with the great mem
bershiD ia the house il was almost i'm
DOssfbIe at times to hear members re-
spond and he thought that in a moment
of thOughtlessness the clerk may have
recorded a response without considerable
He believed that the taking of votes in
the house was on high plane of integ-
rity Mr. Williams replied by saying that
he did not desire to impugn the motives
of the clerks; he only asked for proper
record
