Of course, the real proceedings of the day could not begin until after Jerry Simpson hud furnished another exhibition of th?- OjUallty of his statesman? ship.

Mr. Blmpaofi objected, whereupoa Mr. Dal ael! presented the resolution as a privileged report from ihe Cominillo? on Rules. Mr. Savers (l??ni., Tex ?.

Mr Dalzell pointed out that the time allowed by th?-? rule was perfectly satisfactory to those who had charge Of the debate on both sides. Mr. MeMHIln and Mr. Bland both criticised the rr???ho,i of pr-cedure pursued hy the majority. The f^rm-T said it marked the continued decadence of the rights and privileges of Individual members, ..nd the latter declared that It was an outran?? to force ?ftrislallon through the House without con? sideration by or Information from a committee ap? pointed to examine it. In the Indian bill, he said. tWO or three .lobs had been found. The most conflicting statements were mad?? oa the floor, and members coul.l not vote Intelligently. He said lie would continue to oppose and pretest against such proceedings. On the question of the adoption of the order the Democrats divided. Mr. Bailey and his followers voting with tho Republicans end several of the Democrats, Including Mr McMUHn and Mr. Ulead. with the Populists against tbe order. The vote resulted 111 to 15. Mr. Simpson again Interposed the point of m quorum. Again the Ipeakef counted a quorum, and the ord-r was adopted. Mr. I'aytn? (Sep., N.

He proposed to Substitute the M ll.ic bill for the section of the amendment permitting the fr.c use of timber and ?tone by bona Arle ?ettlera. Mr, Laeey criticised t?.? senate provision restor? ing to the pribli' .lorn..in the r?servations created by the order of President Cleveland last February. H? thought the or.1er ?hould alsaply be suspended pending an examination. If the Senat?? prevision became a law. the land? could not be reaerved until th.-y liad h.. : surveyed, perhaps year? bei. lb said that som? of the most bitter opposition to tic order undoubtedly .ame from the headquarter? of min.? operatore. He thought the suspension should not be for more than one year, as w.is originally proposed In the Senate. Mr. McHae atan opposed the complete revocation of Mr. Cleveland's orders, The present overflow of the Mississippi and it^ tributarle? was largely due to denudation of the forests al ;!?<? headwaters of these streams, and. in his opinion, should be a w-arr,trig to Congress of the necessity for the ?pres? ervation of the forests. Mr. Know!? ????., ? Hi and Mr. Hurt ma ? (S. R .

The latter characterized the orden as the "parting ahoi of the BT?_teal enemy the Amer? ican people ever had." He also asserted thai some of the men who made the examination upon which the orders ?a ?re based had never gone near th?? r?"?crvations. Mr. King ?Dem.. 1'tr.hl also supported this por? tion of the Senate amendment.
