HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Mr.. Littauer IN. " Immediately after
the House convened today presented the
emergency appropriation bill carrying $780,
oO0for the Navy and Post Office Depart
ments to be expended at San Francisco.
Mr.. Williams (Miss.) said he would not
object to the immediate consideration Of
the bill. as It was Intended for the relief
of the San Francisco sufferers.
Mr.. Littauer explained that the President
in his message recommended an appropria-
ton of 100000 for the employment OF Ia
Dor at Mare Island. but as this was to
cover period OF twelve months 1t was
thought best to appropriate a sufficient
sum to cover the remaining two months of
the present fiscal year, leaving any fur
Their sums to be appropriated In the naval
appropriation bill. The same consideration
was given to the Post Office Department,
the amount appropriated, $4,000, being
available until June 80. Without debate
the bill was passed.
Mr.. Sulloway On. HI asked unanimous
consent that the House as in committee of
the whole take UP pension bills Mr.. VIII
liams (Miss.) objected. A vote being taken,
the House decided to take up the pension
calendar.
Mr.. Capron OR. u was called TO the chair,
Mr.. Williams said he would object to
passing pension bills unless the committee
had chance to vote on each bill. In con-
sequence tHe passage or pension bills did
not proceed with the usual speed
An amusing incident occurred during the
passage of the pension bills. As long as
Mr.. Williams remained in the chamber the
chairman of the committee was compelled
to put the passage of each bill to a vote
The moment the minority leader would
leave the chamber Mr.. Capron shortened
the form by saying Without objection the
bill win be laid aside for favorable recon-
mendatton,' thereby saving ten seconds on
the passage of each bill.
The committee rose at 40 having acted
upon 315 pension bills in an hour and a
half
When the Speaker took the chair the
House had another example of 'see-saw."
Mr.. Cannon shortening the form of passing
a bill to suit the presence or absence of Mr.
Williams.
During one of the Iapses the Speaker used
the usual form without objection when
Mr.. Garner Crexas) asked whether the
chair had used the words without objec-
ton"
That's what the chair said" replied Mr.
Cannon.
Then object In the absence of the gem
tlennan from Mississippi (Mr. Williams).
Then the performance will go on" said
the Speaker. Mr.. Dawson Qowal was called
to the chair to go through the formulas of
passing bills without an AYE" or mo be-
ing heard.
