The speaker ruled that he could stop
debate on the matter OF saying what the
senate should do with its rules.
Before the tangle was unraveled Mr..
Burchard was wound up in a parliament
ary net from which rule H. as suggested
by Mr. Allen, did not relieve him.
Mr. Hogan appealed from the decision
OF the chair on the ruling out of the

objected.
BY this time MIR. Allen was In mt"
