Mr. Chandler objected to the oonsld* er.itiorr of the motion now. It whs ro sily a resolntio.n and tut such should go over until tomorrow, under the rule. “1 take it," said Mr. Harris, that this Is a privileged motion, and is noit subject to the rule as to ordinary res olution*.” "Has the senator any authority for that proposition?” asked Mr. Cban- dk*r. "It ie privileged,” mid Mr. Harris, in the fact tha»: it looks to the organi zation of this body/t ‘it is rather tete/ln the day,” said Mr. Chandler, sneerlngly, "to tulk ibout the organization of this body.

A few days ago the chairman of the committee on ways and means in the house, presumably speaking ex cathe dra, was demanding of the house of repreaenttitive* that there Rhould be free sugar.
