Under suspension of the rules the House

the House of Representatives had sunk
so low was because the Congressional
Record had become SO bulky no one read

their information of what Congress was
doing from the press. The republicans he
said. had much to explain to the people.

Mr.. Payne to adjourn without allow

was initiated by France. the United

of her alliance with France in order to
secure the navy which, she lacked and

while during the same period the Brit

the relative positions OF the principal

over, a few days ago Mr.. balfour asked
