Mr. PLATT. I think the communication should be referred to the Committee on Appropriations. It relates, to be sure, to the salmon fishing industry in Alaska, and might perhaps go to the Committee on Fisheries; but an appropriation will be asked for the continuance of the supervision of those fisheries. That matter is now before the Committee on Territories, and the committee "\vill, I think, report in favor of an amendment to the sundry civil or some other appropriation bill for that pur­pose. I think, therefore, that the communication and accom­panying papers had better go to the Committee on Appropria­tions, unless it is desired to refer them to the Committee on Fisheries.

Mr. DOLPH. The papers will ba printed, I suppose. Mr. PLATT. Yes. Mr. DOLPH. I think the reference suggested a proper one. Mr. PLATT. Unless a claim is made by the Committee on

Fisheries, I move that the communice.t ion, with the accompany­ing papers, be referred to the Committee on Appropriations and printed. · The motion was agreed to.

DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE LAMAR.

The VICE-PRESIDENT. The Chair has received a commu­nication from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, which will be read.

The Chief Clerk read as follows:

The VICE-PRESIDENT:

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, Washington, January 2~, 1893.

It becomes my painful duty to inform the Vice-President and the Senate ot the death or Mr. Justice Lamar, which occurreJ. at 8.50 o'clock last night a.t Macon, Ga.

I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, MELVILLE W. FULLER,

Chief Justice of the United States.

Mr. WALTHALL. Mr. President, that the death of the great man just announced-great, sir, in every sense-is a public calamity, will be agreed by men of all shades of opinion through­out the country which he served so well. But it is in Mississippi that this affliction will be most keenly and severely felt. Sir, he was the pride of that State, to whose name he brought so much of credit during his long career of usefulness and honor in public positions of the highest responsibility and trust. He was the idol of the people of his State. They admired him for his rare gifts and his uncommon powers; they 'Were grateful to him for services which they b~lieve and I believe no other man could have rendered them as he did and when he did; and they loved him and trusted him for the sublime courage, the fidelity, gen­eroslty, and honor which signalized as well his private as his public life.

Mr. President, on this occasion I may not speak at large of his private life or of his public service, but I may be permitted on behalf of Mississippi and of all her people to thank the Senate in advance for the action which I know will soon be taken in ad­journing as a mark of respect to his memory.

Mr. GORDON. Mr. President, this is not the occasion for any extended remarks in reference to the distinguished dead, but I do feel impelled to say that Georgia especially sympathizes with her sist3r Sta~e, Mississippi, in the deep sense of the loss we have sus~ ained.

Judge Lamar's life began in Georgia. His distinguished an­cestry make a part of h ar history. Around his name in early

. manhood were clustered the hopes of our people. They have naturally followed his career with the deep interest that would attach to a career so illustrious, so brilliant, so exceptionally benefic:al to his country. As a mother weeps, su Ge::>rgia weeps at the death of this great man.

Sir, it was my fortune to know him and love him. lt is the fortune of Georgia to have given to this Union the man who has just passed away with an immortal glory around his name and with the blessings of his entire count.rymen of every section for­ever to follow him.

Mr. WILSON. Mr. President, in view of the sad announce­ment which has been made to the Senate and as a proper mark oi respect to the memory of the deceased justice, I move that the Senate do now adjourn.

ORDER OF BUSINESS. Mr. HOLMAN. I ask unanimous consent that the call of com­

mittees for reports be dispensed with this morning, and that gen­tlemen desiring to submit reports be permitted to file them with the Clerk.

There was no objection, and it was so ordered. Mr. HOLMAN. I.move that the Hou~Se resolve itself into the

Committee of the Whole for the further cQJJ.sideration of general appropriation bills.

Mr. OATES. Mr. Speaker, pendin!! that motion I desire to make a proposition relating to the business of the House. It is well known that to-day and to-morrow were, by a previous order of the House, set apart for the consideration of the bankruptcy bill. Exception was made in favor of general appropriation bills. Nr>w, I do not care to raise the question of consideration, pro· vided we can rea~h an agreement which will facilitate business. I ask unanimous consent, therefore, that Thursday be substituted for to-day, so that Wednesday and Thursday may be given to the consideration of the bankrupooy bill, and letthegentlemanfrom Indiana [Mr. HOLMAN] go on with his appropriation bill to-day, if that be agreed to. ·

Mr. HOLMAN. I think that is a very proper proposition, inas­much as to-day ought to be devoted to the consideration of the sundry civil bill, so that it may be laid before the Senate at the earliest possible moment.

Mr. BURROWS. There ought to be no objection to that. The SPEAKER. The Chair will submit the request of the

gentleman from Alabama [Mr. OATES], which is that the order heretofore made assigning to-day for the consideration of the bankruptcy bill be vacated, and that Thursday be substituted for to·day, so that Wednesday and Thursday, subject to the same limitation as in the original order, may be giv.en to the consid­eration of the bankruptcy bill.

Mr. CRAIN. I object. Mr. HEMPHILL. I wish to submit a request ,for unanimous

consent. As the House well knows, the Committee on the Dis­trict of Columbia was cut out of its day yesterday. Next Monday happens to be the fifth Monday of the month, and there is no ap­pointment, under the rules, for any particular business on that day. The Committee on the District- of Columbia have some measures of consequence to be considered, one of which will probably increase the revenues of the District about $200,000 this year if we can get the bill through, and I ask unanimous consent that next Monday be devoted to business reported from the Com­mittee on the District of Columbia the same as if it were the fourth Monday in the month.

Mr. BLOUNT. I hope the gentleman will add to that the pro­vision· that it shall not interfere with the appropriation bills.

Mr. HEMPHILL. That is not the rule of the House with refer­ence to District day.

Mr. BLOUNT. We are not talking about the rules of the House. The gentleman from South Carolina is requesting unani­mous consent now.

The SPEAKER. The Chair will submit the request. Mr. BLOUNT. I shall object unless that modifi'cation is made.

' Mr. HEMPHILL. Then I will have to make that modifica­tion.

The SPEAKER. The Chair will submit the request as modi­fied. The gentleman from South Carolina [Mr. HEMPHILL] asks unanimous consent that Monday next, being the fifth Monday in the month, be assigned to the consideration of such business as may be reported from the Committee on the District of Colum­bia, subject to the right to consider general appropriation bills. Is there objection?

Mr. CRAIN. Is not that suspension day? The SPEAKER. No; itisthe fifth Monday in the month. Is

there objection to the request? Mr. BELTZHOOVER. I object.

822 CONGRESSIONA·L RECORD-HOUSE. JANUARY 24,

The SPEAKER. The Clerk will report the title of the bill concerning which the request is made.

The Clerk read as follows: A bill(H. R.10143)to increase the circulation of national banks, and tor other

purposes. · The SPEAKER. The gentleman asks for a reprint of this bill

and the report accompanying it, containing the views of the ma­jority and minority. Is there objection.

Mr. SIMPSON. I object. Mr. OATES. Mr. Speaker, a few moments ago I asked unan­

imous consent that Thursday be substituted for to-day for the consideration of the bankruptcy bill, and objection was made. I desire to know if I can not now submit a motion to that effect, to be voted on by the House ?

The SPEAKER. It is not in order. Mr. OATES. Well, then, Mr. Speaker, His perfectly appar­

ent that if the time which has been set apart for the considera­tion of the bankruptcy bill be not allowed, there is very little chance of bankruptcy legislation at this session of Congress, and I raise the question of consideration. .

Mr. HOLMAN. Will the gentleman allow me a word? The SPEAKER. The Chair will state to the gentleman from

, Alabama [Mr. OATES] that the motion of the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. HOLMAN] is to go into Committee of the Whole

. for the consideration of an appropriation bill, and the question of consideration can not be raised on that motion.

Mr. HOPKINS of Illinois. But it can be voted down. The SPEAKER. It is with the House. Mr. OATES. If the motion should not be agreed to, then it

will be in order to proceed to the consideration of the bank­ruptcy bill?

'rhe SPEAKER. Unless some other appropriation bill an­tagonizes it.

Mr. HOLMAN. Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a suggestion to the gentleman from Alabama, and it is this: That if to-morrow the measure of t}le gentleman shall develop sufficient strength to go through the House he can get a recess until the next day. It is of the highest importance that this appropriation ·bill should be passed at the earliest moment. - Mr. REED. Why have you not had it in before, then?

The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Indiana moves that the House resolve itself into Committee of the Whole for the con­sideration of general appropriation bills.
