Mr. Doane rose to protest agalnst the reception of thisrsport. He de- nounced the action of the chairman of the railroad committes as an un- warranted and high handed sssump- tion of authority. It was his duty to submit the pending bills and resolu- tlons to the whole committee. He had no right to make a report in the name of the c)mmittee unless all members had an opportunity to yote on it. This was the most important subject before the legislatute, and it was an insult to this body to attempt te dispose of it {n such & summary manner.
