The rather strained situation which
suddenly developed in the House OF
Representatives yesterday between
the Speaker and Clerk Wise over the
matter of printing the House Journal
ended at noon today as suddenly as it
had developed, in a victory for the
Speaker
The determination on the part of the
Speaker to have the printing of the
Journal expedited, and at the same
time done the least outlay possible, as
he announced yesterday, was appar-
emily concurred in by the House, and
a resolution adopted requiring the
clerk to turn over the proceedings of
the first ten days of the session to
the Committee to be compiled and
printed, carried with little opposition.
Clerk Wise maintains that he is now
relieved, by the action Of the House in
taking the matter out of his hands
from responsibility for loss of any of
the documents, and that he can not be
held responsible for the correctness al

supervision.

that according to the rules OF the
House the Clerk could only surrender

Rawlins pointed to Rule as speci-
fcally providing for this. He offered
motion that the House instruct the
Clerk to turn over the data of the first
ten days as the Speaker had directed.
The Speaker asked for further dis
cussion Of the matter.
He suggested that Rawlins motion
might take the form Of an amendment
to the resolution adopted on the srd
inst, providing for the printing of the
Journal. Rawlins approved the sug-
gestion.

motion was well taken.
