Mills had prepared a reso¬ lution disapproving of the speaker’s ac¬ alleging tion in taking that it the bill from the table, was in violation of the roles. The clerk, as is usual, did not read the journal entirely .which included the speaker’s reference of the silver bill. MIUb insisted that it should be read. Mr. McKinley and moved demanded that the journal be ap¬ proved the previous ques- tion. The speaker recognized Mills and the remainder of the journal was then read. Both Mills ana McKinley were on thoir feet waiting for a chance to se¬ cure recognition. At the conclusion the Ohio leader was recognized, while Mills cried that he wanted to correct an error in the journal. The Wrathful Springer.

After conversing with those gentlemen it had seemed clear to the oholr that the ru les of the house covered the question and that his duty was to treat the bill os he would treat any other measure. Accordingly, the dark was not direoted to make any chongs in regard to the reference. The house must bear in mind .that this was not a question of politlos or currency.
