WasiminGron, June 10.—The house this morning went into committee of the whole on the legislative appropriation bill, The pending question was on the point of order made by Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, against the words “in full compensation” where they oceur in the general appropriation clause of the bill, Mr. Holman argued against the point and called attention to the tact that for the past ten years those words had been incorporated in every legislative appropriation bill. The question presented was whether the house could, under its rules, imnose a limitation on the expenditures of public moneg. If it could not, it had almost abandoned the power to control the expenditure of public mone: After further debate the e'airman rendered his decision on the point of order. e re- viewed the provisions of the rule .|..r|m| at the Forty-fourth con, nd of the rile adopted s the Forty-sixih, and known as the Holman amendment, e compared then with the existing rules to show that the pres- ent house had stripped the rule of any verbi- age whieh could possibly be construed as per- mitting legislation on appropriation bills, He also ealled attention to the fact that when the house was discussing the rules, it had voted do yeas G0, nuys 205-a proposition 10 allow reductions of salaties 1o be provided for on the appropriation bills, Thechair had therefore no diflieulty in coming to a conclu- sion, in the light of the preceding rules and in the it of the action of the present house, that it was not in order 10 provide tc reduction of salary when it had been fix med by some gen words against which the point of urder was made were & limitation on the appropriation. 11 a redue- tion of salary furnished an illustiation of what the word “limitation” meant, it was quite right 1o see what the present house had intended to do toexelude what was termed “limitation” It was argued that this did not repeal the law. ‘I'he language of the rule was “chiange the isting law’”” without the words *in full ¢ pensation” in the bill. If the eral law fixed the salary, the ofticer would entitled _to ‘the full awount of that Ihe oftice would be entitled to the by force of statute.
