by presenting a special order agreed
upon by the committee ou rules pro

of the resolution aud a vote without hi'

Hr. Heuderaon yielded a moment to
Hr. Bailey, the Demooratio leader, who
eaid that while the minority etreuuonsiy
opposed the uudue limitation of the de

the time allowed on a rollcull.
