KILLING TIME IN THE HOUSE. SENATE. Immediately after the prayer the Vice Presi- dent directéd the reading of the journal of yes- terday’s proceedings. Mr. Faulkner suggested that there was no quorum present and the roll was called, dis- closing the presence of but twenty-seven Sena- tors. At 10:30, however, a quorum appeared and the journal was read: : Mr. Aldrich inquired whether the question was on the approval of the journal, and receiv- ing an affirmative reply said that he wished to address the Senate briefly. The journal just read furnished a record beyond parallel in the history of the Senate of the United States. It disclosed the fact that it was the determined Policy of democratic Senators to prevent any tion or any action unless their wishes as to certain measures should receive consideration and be acceded to. The republicans had long ago been fare of this fact, but not until yesterday had all disguise been thrown off. is pur on the part of the members of the minority was of such a character that it could not for a moment and outrageous domination of a minority would be to strike a serious blow at free institutions. The action of the minority was revolutionary. Mr. Aldrich then quoted from a speech de- livered by Senator Hill of Georgia, while a member of the Senate, denouncing as revolu- tionary the action of the republican Senators in refusing to vote upon the army appropria- tion bill. ‘MR. STEWART MAKES SOME INQUIRIES. Mr. Stewart inquired whether the Senator from Rhode Island believed that it was proper upon any measure for Senators to sit silent and refuse to vote. ‘Mr. Aldrich replied that, in his opinion, it was not. Mr. Stewart inquired whether it was for the Senate to violate its own rules. cratic laughter.) Mr. Aldrich answered that that was a question he did not exactly understand. When a bill was under consideration the body was bound to follow the rules it had adopted until they were changed. It was clearly the right of the Senate under the Constitution and in ac- cordance with the provisions of unwritten law oper m0- in every country to change ite rules. Mr. Harris inquired whether in changing ite rules the Senate mst not be governed by ite existing rules. Mr. Aldrich replied that it should not if the existing rules were of such a nature as to pre- | # vent action. Mr. Harris said that the gentleman's asser- fion was that, in changing the rules: the exist ing rules must be ignored and violated. The change must be made regardless of existing rules whenever a bare majority desire to make the change. Mr. Aldrich said that the gentleman was put- words in his mouth that he had not used. ir. Harris replied that the gentleman had used words of the same import. DEMOCRATIC ACTION DENOUNCED. Mr. Aldrich said that he did not think that it was competent for the Senate to establish a rule that would prevent its successors chang- ing the rules. Proceeding to comment upon the action of the democratic Senators he de- nounced that action as revolutionary in the highest degree. It was within the range of possibility’ for Senators on the other side to revent for time (and _ possibly for alltime) the transaction of any business. Another thing disclosed by yes- terday’s proceedings was that the rules of the Senate did not prevent dilatory tactics. The republicans knew that under the present rules they were completely in the power of the mi- nority, ‘The nominal majority of the Senate sat on the republican side and was held responsible for legislation. But with responsibility should come power. If the majority had no power to te on any subject except with the consent of the minority, the responsibility did not properly belong to the majority. He then, rent on to enumerate the important bills nding in Senate, wi must be passed fore the 4th of March. Mr. Harris—If you move to proceed to the consideration of ‘appropriation bills or any of these bills you have mentioned you can get unanimous consent on this side. Mr. Aldrich—That is exactly what I have said. If we yield to the dictation of the minority and let it say what islation shall be considered everything is all right. Con- finuing, Mr. Aldrich said’ that in’ his opinion the time was coming when the previous quee- tion, and the absolute previous question, would be found necessary in order to yw the Senate to transact its business. It became the positive duty of the Senate in some way and by some means to so change its rules as to allow it to proceed in an orderly fraotiaes tmpoosl spon i by doers ebeving functions we jie vil this slneccelp, Mr. Alirish esi in conclesion “[ now move that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the resolution submitted by me on December 29.” ‘Mr. Harris and Mr. dressed the chair. ‘MR. ALDRICH DECLINES TO YIELD. Mr. Aldrich—I do not yield the floor. I ask that my motion be submitted to the Senate and that the resolution be read. Mr. Harris—It may be read asa part of the Senator's remarks. Gorman rose and ad- taken on Mr. Aldrich’s motion to consider the closure rule. ‘THE CHAIR SUSTAINED. ‘The roll call was suspended on Mr. Ransom's Point of order that the journal of Tuesday showed that the matter had already been taken up. chair overruled the point of order and the democrats took an which was defeated and the chair i—yeas, 36: ‘Bays, 27—whereupon Mr. Gorman t of order that Mr. Aldrich’s motion must in writing. The Vice President sustained this point and Mr. Aldrich wrote out his motion. THE CLOSURE TAKEN UP. Mr. Aldrich’s motion prevailed—yeas, 36; nays, $32—Mr. Jones of Nevada also joining with the democrats in opposing it. Nominations by the President.

At the conclusion of the chaplain’s prayer Mr. Rogers of Arkansas raised the point of order that there was no quorum present. After a few minutes’ delay the Speaker counted 168 members and directed the clerk to read the journal. While the clerk was engaged in that duty Mr. Enloe of Tennessee rose and questioned the cor- rectneas of the Speaker's count. ‘The Speaker—The chair overrules the ques- tion and the clerk will proceed. Mr. Enloe—Then I appeal. ‘The Speaker—There is no appeal whatever. Mr. cape (IML) then demanded the read- ie journal in full. r some delay, the democrats wanting time for debate§ by unanimous consent it was agreed that twenty minutes should be allowel each side for debate, the previous question then to be considered as ordered on the ap- proval of the journal. Mt. MeMillin (Tennessee) took the floor for the purpose of impeaching of Speaker declaring dilatory his (MoMlillin's) motion that the resolution ted by the rules committee be recommitted, with instruc- tions to report a resolution providing for the reading of the District of Columbia appropria- tion bill and setting apart ten days for its con- sideration. All his side asked, he said, was for fair play. ‘Sh, No!” retorted several republicans, “I know it sounds like a joke to you,” re- torted Mr. McMillin. Mr. Springer (Ill), Mr. Bland (Mo.) and Mr. Enloe (Tenn) also ‘spoke in support of the position taken by Mr. MeMillin. ‘There was an entire absence of the disorder of the past few days, however, and the orators were calm. journal, had —_ reall propriety of certain rulings. the frequent bickerings of the added to the dignity of the House, McMillin rising, Mr. Reed said he tention to amimadvert upon the cond ntleman from Tennessee, against whom nothing to say.

He explained thus fally that the grounds of his action might be understood and sincerely hoped there would be no further personal matters connected with it. [Applause on the republican side, which was restrained by the chair. ‘Mr. McMillin reminded the that under the rules bis motion was one which could not be made more than once. ‘The Speaker replied that the scenes of dis- order yesterday were sufficient to sati member of i chair. He sin order would cease. ef + <-+____ THERE WAS A QUORUM. ‘The Speaker Said So and His Assertion Was Verified. The House presented a slim appearance at 12 o'clock today.
