TEMPEST IN A TEA POT.
Disgraceful Scenes in the House
Of Representatives.'
SPEAKER REED UNDISMAYED.
Members Who are in Their Seats, Though Not
Voting Are Present and Should
Be Couuted.
A FURIOUS TEMPEST.
The Minority Overwhelmed and Dejected at
Their Failure to Block Bnniness.
Washington, Jan. 30. Oregonian
special. Never was there a mob or a
convention that equaled in disorder tbe
house oi representatives, for half an hour
yesterday. The democrats rushed down
the aisles, shouting "Czar," "Czar,"
Revolution," "Usurpation," and all
manner of short speeches, in which tbe
speaker was assailed in language of vi
tuperation and rage. Bland of Missouri
added his bellowing might. McMillin
of Tennessee pounded bis desk and
shouted at the sneaker. Young Cooper
of Indiana shouted himself hoarse in
asking to be beard on a parliamentary
question. The weazened Wheeler of
Alabama, who mounted the desks and
ran over them to the speaker's desk in
1876, was about to repeat the operation
when he was pulled down by his col
leagues. On the republican side there were al
ternate cheers as the speaker scored a
point, or cries of "Regular order" when
some demoorat outcried tbe speaker.
Carlisle was the only prominent demo
crat who preserved bis dignity. He
alone seemed to be satisfied to wait and
be heard when order was restored. The
speaker waa cool and collected and he
held the nnruly mob in check and stated
bis position and kept his temper in Bpite
of the taunts aud insults that were con
tinually hurled at him.
After the bouse had passed a bill re
lieving tbe political disabilities of D. C,
Smith, of Texas, Drizell of Pennsylvania
called np tbe West Virginia eleotion
cace. Crisp of Georgia raised a ques
tion of consideration and filibustering
at once began. On this the democrats
generally refused to vote. While the
toll was being called, Reed noted the
names of those present and not voting.
When the vote was announced it was
found that there were 161 votes in the
affirmative and 2 in the negative. Crisp
at once raised the point of no quorum
and Reed directed the clerk to record
tbe names, a list of which he had kept,
of members not voting rn present. miB
waa the signal for a burst of applause
from the republicans and jeers from tbe
demoorats. Tbe clerk then proceeded
to read the names of the democrats
which the speaker had jotted down as
being present and not voting.
When the nairit of Breckenridge of
Kentucky was called he stepped into the
aisfe and in a resounding voice said:
"I denounce tbe attempt of the speaker
to do this, and I denounce it as revolu
tionary." Cheer upon cheer went up
from the democratic side, Bnd it was sev
eral minutes before suffioiont order was
restored to enable the clerk to continue
the reading of the list of names. But
order was only comparative, for while
the clerk was proceeding with the read
ing half a dozen demoorats were on
their feet denouncing the action of the
speaker.
Bland of Missouri, roared out that he
was responsible for his aotion only to
the constitution and not to the speaker,
and O'Farrell of Virginia protested in
the name of his state against this action.
McCreary of Kentucky, denied the right
of the speaker to count him as present.
The speaker said: The cbair is making
statement of tbe fact that the gentleman
is present. Does the gentleman deny
that be is present? The name of Outh
waite of Ohio, having been called, that
gentleman amid great uproar declared
that he had not been preseut when his
name was called on the roll call; and
that what tbe speaker was stating was
not true. O'Farrell inquired by what
parliamentary rule the speaker bad a
right to declare a person present if he
did not vote. The speaker replied that
he was making a statement of facts.
Breckenridge deolared that the action
of the speaker was disorderly, and that
the si eaker had no more right to make
a statement from the cbair than he
would have were he on tbe floor. Crisp
desired to appeal from the dicision of
the chair. The speaker replied that in
due time be would aUow tbe gentleman
every proper appeal to tbe house in an
orderly fashion, as be would demon
strate to the satisfaction of the house
In the mean time Cooper of Indiana,
was on his feet denouncing the aot of
the chair.
The speaker finally said:
The gentleman must not mistake the
situation. The chair must proceed in
in order, and the gentlemen, as mem
bers of tbis body, will undoubtedly al
low the ohair to proceed. Tbe olerk
had announced that of the members
voting 161 voted yea, and 2 nay. Tbe
chair thereupon, having heard their
names called in their presenoe, had di
rected a record to be made of
this fact. Accordingly the question was
now before the house, and the chair pro
posed to give a statement, accompanied
by a ruling from which an appeal might
be taken, if any gentleman was dissatis
fied therewith. He quoted precedents
to maintain tbe correctness of bis posi
tion, and cited tbe action of Governor
Hill, of New York, while presiding offi
cer of the New York state senate, in de
ciding that three-fifths of the members
were present although some of them re
frained from voting, as precisely similar
to his decision.
Crisp of Georgia, appealed from tbe
decision of the chair, and quoted from
Speaker Blaine's ruling on the force bill,
that the speaker had not the power to
count a quorum, and declared Speaker
Reed's decision, just made, would be
tbe foundation of the greatest legisla
tive fraud ever committed. He quoted
from the remarks of Reed in former
years, while on the floor of the house, in
which he used these words:
"The constitutional idea of a quorum
is not the physical presence of a physi
cal majority of tbe bouse, but a majority
of the members present and partici
pating in the business of the house."
"I appeal," Crisp exclaimed, "from
Phillip drunk to Phillip sober."
Connor of Illinois said the constitu
tion decided the question at issue, and
said plainly that a majority of each
house shall constitute a quorum to do
business, but it did not say that a ma
jority was required to vote for a meas
ure, motion or resolution in order to
pass it. Carlisle, of Kentucky said this
deoision was not a question of parlia
mentary law, but of constitutional law.
No speaker has ever held or deoided
that less than a quorum could pass any
bill or vote in tbe house. If the ruling
to-day was correct there was no necess
ity for any provision of the constitution
defining what leaf than a quorum could i
do. A majority constituted a quorum to
do business, but those words were not
in the constitution of the state of New
York, on which Lieutenant-Governor
Hill'ajdeoision had been baaed.
THE SECOND DAY'S BATTLE.
Speaker Reed. Believing he Is Right, Is Firm,
and Calmly Views the Scene Undismayed.
Washington, Jan. 30. Before the
opening of tbe house this morning the
galleries were crowded to their utmost
by spectators anticipating a resumption
of the contest of yesterday. Nor were
they disappointed, for as the olerk read
the journal in the usual manner, omit
ting the detailed vote by yeas and nays
on the question of the consideration
of the contested eleotion case, Breckin
ridge rose and demanded tbe reading
of the full vote. After a moment's hesi
tation the Bpeaker direoted this to be
done. This having been complied with
Breckinridge demanded the reading of
tbe names of those not voting and the
speaker ordered this done.
Springer demanded the reading of the
fuU statement of Speaker Reed giving
the grounds for his ruling yesterday,
aud tbe clerk proceeded to read accord
ingly. The reading of the journal having
been completed, MoKinley moved that
the journal be approved, and upon that
motion demanded the previous ques
tion.
Blanobard of Louisiana was immedi
ately on his feet, rising to question the
privilege of relating to the journal, but
tbe speaker declined to recognize him,
on the ground that tbe demand for the
previous qnestion was pending.
manded the yeas and nays. While
vote was being taken Springer stated
that his object was to allow the commit
tee on rules to prepare a set of rules.
One hundred and twenty-four members
arose to demand the yeas and nays.
The speaker declared this to be a suffi
cient number, and directed tbe clerk to
call tbe roll.
Bland of Missonri moved to reconsid
er the vote by which the yeas and nays
were ordered, bnt the speaker declined
to recognize him, whereupon Bland
shouted amid a great uproar: "You are
not a tyrant, to rule over the house in
any such way, and I denonnoe ." The
remainder of the sentence was drowned.
The roll was then called and the mo
tion defeated, yeas 142, nays 160.
Tbe question then reourred on the de
mand for the previous question on the
approval of the journal, and the yeas
and nays having been ordered, "Don't
vote" was passed around the democratic
side of the chamber, and it was
ously obeyed.
Before the vote was announoed the
speaker directed the clerk to record the
names of thirty members whom he num
erated as present, and the speaker then
announoed the vote to stand veas 160,
nays 1, and added, "which in addition to
the gentlemen present constitute a quo
rum, and the previous question is order
ed." This brought forth a storm of ap
plause from the republicans.
Springer of Illinois made the point of
order that no quorum bad voted. He
said that if the speaker so decided he
would take an appeal. The speaker
said: "The chair declines to entertain
the appeal of the gentleman from Illi
nois." Applause on the republican side
and hisses from tbe democrats.
Then, amid wild cheering on- tbe dem
ocratic side, Breckinridge rushed down
the aisle and standing in front of the
speakers, exclaimed:
"from tnat we appeal. There is no
pending appeal, There was an appeal
pending yesterday, bnt this is a different
appeal, because the speaker is assuming
that the house will sustain bis decis
ion of yesterday and so is carrying by
his own vote to-day the decision he has
made.
Cheer after cheer arose from the dem
ocratic side, mingled with hisses from
tbe repnplicans, until the house resem
bled a perfect bedlam. In the midst of
the tumult the speaker stated the ques
tion to be on tbe motion to approve tbe
journal, and the yeas and nays having
been ordered he direoted the clerk to call
the roll. Owing to the confusion, many
democratic members did not understand
the question as put by the chair, and
another scene of excitement ensued,
dozens of men rising and demanding to
know what they were to vote upon. The
speaker attempted in vain to restore
order, though one democrat was heard to
shout above the turmoil that the bouse
was as much in order as the speaker.
A luU occurred, however, when Carlise
arose and said he hoped that the roll call
would be suspended until order was re
stored, as several members did not
understand the question. The speaker
then re-stated the question, and tbe vote
resulted: yeas, 162; nays, 1. The speak
er declared tbe motion carried and direct
ed the clerk to enter on the journal th
names of the members present, but not
voting.
After another storm, occasioned by
Springer's persistent tfforts, to address
the cbair, the house became quiet and
the floor was accorded to McKinley, who
spoke upon the appeal of yesterday and
supported the speaker's decision.
"It is time to stop this legal fiction.
Let the members be honest ; let them de
feat bills in a constitutional way, by de
bate, by amendment, by a yea and nay
vote expressive of their judgment. This
controversy is to determine whether the
majority should rule and govern, or be
subject to the tyranny of the minority-
The position of the gentlemen on tbe
other side meant that they would either
ruin or rule, though in the minority.
The republicans insisted that while they
were in the majority the other side
should do neither. Applause from the
republican side. We settled one ques
tion at great cost, that the minority
could not run this country applaus,
and we intend to settle, if we can, in the
broad light of public opinion and in the
presence of 80,000,000 people, whether
the constitutional majority of this house
shall do the business of the , house.
Applause.
Turner of Georgia believed that if tbe
wild view presented here was engrafted
on the practice of the house it would
inaugurate a reign of anarchy and prof
ligacy unprecedented in the annals of the
country. He controverted the power of
the speaker to have names entered on
the journal .
Buttarworth of Ohio said that tbe
questiou went to the power of the
majority to rule in this ooutry.
Tbis was a government of the people ;
it was a government of the majority.
The majority must exeroise that author
ity in legislation and government which
were in keeping with the furtherance of
the provisions of the consti
tution. It had been argued that it
was for a member to answer to himself
and his constituents alone whether he
would vote and discbarge his duty.
The speaker had a right to proceed to
note that thirty or thirty-five members
who had refused on the roll-call were
preseut in their Beats. All that was in
volved in the appeal was simply a ques
tion of fact. Did any gentleman whose
name was disolosed by the court rise in
his place and declare that he was not
present? Not one. Under general par
liamentary laws the speaker had a right
to count tbe members, and if there were
no quorum, to stop all business. The
principal was distinctly established that
tbe presiding officer might oonnt, and it
was his duty to .count the number of
members who might be present to con
stitute a quorum. The gentleman from
Kentucky (Carlisle) bad declared that
under the speaker's decision one repre
sentative could pass a biU with 16T
members sitting in their seats in silence.
So he oould, and so he ought to. If tbe
167 members sat in silence and refused
o .-ota.7-l.uo ibeir votes would" tleleal
the proposition, then tbe vote of a single
member ought to pass tbe bill. When
the gentlemen sit in their seats and re
fuse to perform a public duty, they are
repudiating a great public trust Car
lisle, as speaker, had repeatedly signed
bills and resolutions which had not re
ceived a constitutional majority. He
had done it over and over again, and
done it too, when the public record of the
house, announced by himself, showed
that less than a majority of the house
had voted.
The aotion of the democrats yesterday
had never been dreamed of by the fath
ers of the constitution. They never
dreamed of sullen silence as a states
manlike way of destroying a quorum.
He was not saying that the demoorats
were doing differently from what the re
publican party had been doing for years,
but no minority had ever oarried on fil
ibustering that was not afterwards
ashamed . of the whole proceed
ing. This mode of stopping legisla
tion had never been thought of by the
trainers of the constitution. It the gen
tlemen on the other side were going to
have a revolution, let them have it in
the proper way and get out of tbe house.
Applause on the republican side.) They
had no business to turn upon the repub
licans who were here and ready to do
business and call them revolutionists.
The gentleman on the other side want
ed to perpetuate a fiction which declared
that although members were present in
their seats, they should be held to be
constructively absent He utterly de
nied the soundness of that proposition.
It would have done when it was held
that the members were ambassadors
from the states. It would not do in
January, 1890. He was not here simply
to legislate for himself and his constitu
ents. He was here to legislate for the
whole country, and the whole
conntry had a right to
exact of him that he be in his plaoe and
perform his duty. The speaker had not
only discouraged the duty which devel
oped on him in this matter, but one
which he could not avoid under his
oath of office, if he would.
A member of the democratic side sug
gested that there was no rule for what
tbe republicans were attempting to do.
"Yes, we have a rule," Butterworth re
torted, "and you have discovered it.'
Butterworth concluded :
"The right of tbe majority which the
fathers provided for, was the right to
amend to do whatsoever they wished to
perfect legislation, but the sovereign
will of tbe people is represented in the
majority, and until that right be over
thrown by revolution or otherwise, the
decision of the speaker must be upheld
as vindicating the rights of all the peo
ple of this country."
McKinley moved to lay on the table
the appeal from the speaker's decision
Shouts of disapproval were heard on the
democratic side, but McKinley persisted
and Springer moved to adjourn. On a
rising vote the result was announced:
Yeas, 124, nays, 148. Springer demand
ed the yeas and nays, with the result:
Yeas, 145, nays, 161. So the house re
fused to adjourn and the question reour
red on the motion to lay tbe appeal on
the table, on which question the yeas
and nays were demanded from the demo
cratic side.
The clerk proceeded with tbe call, no
democrat responding, the most of them
leaving their seats and retiring to the
cloak rooms. The speaker, however,
followed the roll call and noted down
the names of the democrats present and
not voting. The non-voting members
were again called, but still no demo
orats responded.
When the vote was completed the
speaker took the return from the tally
clerk, and ordered the clerk to record
the names of seventy-six democrats
present and declining to vote. He then
announoed the vote 162 yeas and none
in the negative. He then declared the
motion to lay the appeal on the table
carried. Shouts of "no quorum" and ex
olamatious of indignation and rage rose
on the demoorati c side, but in the midst
of the uproar tbe speaker recognized
MoKinley for a motion to adjourn, pnt it
and declared it carried.
Before be left the ohair, amid shouts
of "shame" from tbe excited democrats,
he paused long enough to give Springer
a chance to say that he demanded the
yeas and nays. The speaker said he
had heard no request for the yeas and
nays, but wonld recognize tbe demand,
and so Springer had tbe good satisfac
tion of having the yeas and nays called,
with the result, yeas, 193, nays 67. The
house adjourned until to-morrow.
The republicans are jubilant at their
success, and the demoorats are corre
spondingly depressed.
SLAUGHTER OK FINE CATTLE.
Explanatory From the State Veterinary
Surgeon.
Dr. James Wythecombe, State Veter
inary Surgeon, writes to the Oregonian,
whioh will be read with much interest by
the public :
I fear the article in tbis morning's
Oregonian, relative to Mr. W. S. Ladd's
cattle, will create unnecessary alarm
among the stock men of tbis state.
There is but little danger of the disease
spreading among other herds. It might
seem as though such a wholesale slaugh
ter of fine cattle is unnecessary ; but
when we oonsider the nature of "Bovine
Tuberculosis," and how liable it is to be
transferred to human beings in the form
of "Phthisis Pulmonalis" (consumption)
the necessity for such aotion becomes
apparent.
A post-mortem revealed the fact that
in the thirty-four head slaughtered last
Monday, there was not a healthy animal
in the lot. Those were tbe animals se
lected from the herd whioh exhibited,
more or less, positive symptoms of the
disease.
Tuberculosis is a very insidious dis
ease, and the form known as "Tabes
Mesenteries" cannot be detected with
any degree of certainty in the living an
imals; hence tbe great danger in using
the milk and butter from a herd known
to be quite extensively affected with the
disease. It is very unfortunate both for
Mr. Ladd and tbe state, to have to Jose
such a finely bred herd of cattle; never
theless, tbe health of the citizens should
be protected, regardless of pecuniary
losses.
REED HAKES A DECISION,
And Raises a Tempest, Bnt FUlibnstenng
Tactics Fail.
Washington, Jan. 29. In the bouse
Pavson of Hlinois, from the committee
on public lands, reported tbe senate bill
for tbe oreation of three additional land
distriots in Colorado. ' Tbe bill passed
yeas, 182; nays, 92.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania called up the
election case of Smith vs. Jackson, from
the Fourth West Virginia district. Up
on the question of considering the elec
tion oase tbe democrats generally refus
ed to vote and made the point of no quo
rum. The speaker, however, counted as
present tbe members refusing to vote
and declared a quorum present.
Then ensued the wildest soene thnt
has been witnessed since reconstruction
times. Wild yells arose from the demo
oratic side, and the demoorats generally
took the floor shouting a protest.
Breokenridge of Kentucky denounoed
the attempt of the speaker to oount a
quorum as revolutionary.
Speaker Reed made a long address.
He quoted precedents to maintain the
correctness of his position, and bis re
marks from time to time were applauded
by the republicans.
Crisp appealed and quoted rulings of
Speakers Blaine and Garfield adverse to
Reed's decision. Cannon and Carlisle
also spoke. The matter will come up
again to-morrow.
