Mr. Call introduced a bill to provide for the removal of saloons, breweries and distilleries in Washiugton city on the complaint of per- sons residing in their immediate vicinity. Re- ferred, SENATOR QUAY AND PAGE MANN. Mr. Quay’s resolution, offered yesterday, for- bidding the sergeant-at-arms to remove any of his subordinates before the 1st of July without consent of the Senate was taken up. Mr. Cameron offered a substitute for it, directing the employment as an additional page for the present session of George H. Mann, the employe whose removal was the cause of Mr. Quay's resolution being offered. Both resolutions were referred to the com- mittee on contingent expenses. After a short discussion, in which Mr, Sher- man spoke of Mr. Quay’s resolution as SLAPPING A MAN IN THE FACE just as he was leaving his office, and said that the employe had been removed because he had passed the limit of age for a page, and because of “‘the urgent request of a Senator who had a right to claim something at the hands of the sergeant-at-arms for another very worthy person.” LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill. In the course of the consideration of the bill (several omissions or defects havin; been noticed and supplied) Mr. Cockrell sai that the recent reported interview with Speaker Reed (in which the Speaker is represented as having “thanked Heaven that the House is nota deliberative body”) might account for the shape in which this and other bills come to the Senate. In the same connection he recalled the circumstance that one of the House clerks with a message from the House had an- nounced, some weeks ago, the passage of certain bills “by the Speaker.” HOUSE, The journal having been read Mr. Mills (Tex.) objected to ita approval on the ground that the clerk had not read it in full. The Speaker suggested that the clerk had only omitted to read such portions as it is cus- tomary aot to rexd; but he directed the fur- ther reading of the journal, ‘The clerk proceeding read that portion of the journal which discloses the reference of the silver bill to the commuttee on coinage, weights and measures, During the reading Messrs. Mills and McKin- ley remained standing, anxious to claim recog- nition. ‘The latter was successful and he moved that the journal be approved, Upon this he demanded the previous question, despite Mr, Mills’ protest that he was entitled to recogmi- tion to move to correct the journal. MR, SPRINGER’S VIGOROUS PROTEST. Mr. Springer, rising to a question of order, raised the point that the journal contained the record of something which had never hap- pened and which should not be in the journal. ‘The Speaker replied that that was for the House to decide and directed the clerk to call the roll. The clerk proceeded with this duty, while Mr. Springer, amid the applause of his colleagues, entered his vigorous protest, ad- dressing the Speaker and saying: “You can ig- nore the rights of Representatives of the peo- ple, but the people will pull you down, sir, at the polls next November, and your purty with you.” But the Speaker was imperturbable and the roll call continued. THE SPEAKER'S DEFEAT—DEMOCRATIC APPLAUSE. ‘The previous question was voted down—yeas, 166; nays, 117. The following republicans voted with the democrats in the negative: Messrs. Bartine, De Haven, Kelley. Kerr (Iowa), Lind, Morrow and Townsend (Col. ). MR. MILL MOVES TO CORRECT THE JOURNAL. When the loud democratic applause ceased Mr. Mills was recognized by the Speaker. He offered a resolution reciting that the order of reference made by the Speaker referring the silver bill to the committee on coinage, weights and measures was incorrect under the rules of the House, and was made without authority under the rules, and resolving that the journal be corrected by striking therefrom this entry. Mi. CANNON’S POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Cannon (IIL) raised a point of order against the resolution. It proposed to strike out an entry in the journal which recorded a question of fact. It was not in order for the reason that, if adopted, it would have the effect of changing a reference of a bill with Se: amendments otherwise than was provided by the rules of the House. He the Senate to that its would to be considered in committee of the wi That being so it was THE DUTY OF THE SPEAKER to refer it to the committee on coinage, weights and measures. The resolution songht to change something that was in the journal which recorded the reference of the bill to the com- —— on coinage, weights and measures under It sought to strike out a recital of fact. He knew that there was an interest in this legisla- tion. He knew it was an important matter. He knew that gentlemen desired to consider it, and it ought to be considered. But no man on the floor of this House, what- ever his views might be touching the merits of this legislation, could consistently with his own conscience and in the face of the country vote to strike outa recital of fact and by this left-handed, unpar- liamentary method ‘take from a committee a bill which under the rules belonged to it, MR. MILLS REPLI:S TO MR. CANNON. Mr. Mills (Tex.) characterized Mr. Cannon's Position as the boldest, most reckless and ab- surd position he had ever heard maintained in & legislative body. It only showed that a bright well-stored well-disciplined mind might become beclouded by starting out in error and continuing that course. Vice is a monster of such frichtful mien, That to be hated needs but to be seen: But seen: too oft, familiar with its face, We hrst endure, then pity. then em! Laughter. } he gentleman and his party had started out atthe beginning of the session by asserting before the country by a code of rules that one man, or a triumvirate, could control the action of the representatives of 66,000,000 people. Un- der the Constitution the journal was to be kept by the Houre, not by the Speaker or his clerks. He was astonished—while the gentleman was pursuing his argument—that the Speaker had not told him—as he had the other gentleman from Lilinois Ge. Springer)—that this was a question for the House to determine. THE TWO PARTIES ON THE SILVER QUESTION. He charged the republican party with being false to its pledges on the matter of silver. The democratic party would give the people free and unlimited coinage of silver. the hust- ings the people wouid ask the republicans why, when they were sent here as the friends of | sil- ver, they had voted to the death to prevent the consummation of the peoples’ wishes and the fulfillment of their promises. Mr. Peters (Kans. ), though declaring himself afree coinage man, sustained the Speaker's action, contending that under the rules it was the Speaker's duty to refer the bill as he had done. MR. BIGGS RAISES A LAUGH. Mr. Biggs (Cal.) put an interrogatory with such vehemence as to draw forth the laughter of the House, which was renewed when Mr. Biggs, in perfect good nature, but totally ob- livious of the Speaker's gavel, continued to put his questions, Finally the Speaker asked sternly: ‘Will the gentleman trom California be in order?” “I will,” replied Mr. Biggs in a meek and pleasant voice, which again gave rise to merri- ment, MR. ORISP’S ARGUMENT. Mr. Crisp (Ga.) submitted an argument to show that under the rules the Speaker had not the power to refer the bill as he had done. In the course of his remarks he referred to a decision made by the Speaker in regard to the Washington post office bill, which, he held, was totally at variance with the present decision. Mr. Butterworth controverted the construc- tion put upon the decision by Mr. Crisp and said that if he had so construed the Speaker's decision he would have voted to overrule it. Mr. Crisp suggested that if the gentleman had done that it would have been the first time he had ever voted to overrule the chair. Mr. Butterworth remarked, smilingly, that THE CHATR WAS ALWAYS RIGHT. Mr. Crisp, disclaimed any discourtesy in drawing a simile between the gentleman's re- mark and the remark of the Hindoo when he approached his hideous god: “I know that he is ugly; but I feel that he is great.” ‘This sally gave rise to hearty laughter, in which the Speaker joined. though in a moment he rose and said dryly: “The chair hopes that personal matters will not be introduced into this discussion.

Mr. Springer (Ill) contended for the right of the House to revise its journal and make it show what a majority of the House decided it should show. The purpose of referring the bill to the committee on coinage. weights and measures was to prevent the House voting on the question of concurrence in the Senate amendments. The rules which, it is claimed, were in- tended to allow the majority to do business and produce results were now prostituted to the base purpose of gagging the majority of the House. Mr. Bland (Mo.) held that there was no other course open but to strike the erroneous refer- ence of the bill from the journal. That would piace the bill on the Speaker's table again and allow the House to get at it. NOT READY TO ABDICATE YET. Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) said that the time had not come when the republican party was willing to abdicate its control over the business of the House. The question would be put next fall—notin time to affect this question. Mr. McMillin (Tenn, )—But it will be in time for this question to affect it. (Democratic ap- plause.) Continuing, Mr. Butterworth held that the real question before the House was whetber or not the Speaker had referred the bili to the committee, not that it was or was not properly referred, 2 A POLICE SENSATION, Col.
