THEN THE TROUBLE BEGAN. The minority report was an elaborate argument In favor of the conteatee, and for tills reason Its reading vii objected to by Crltchlow, the rule requiring the committee simply to report Ita findings of fact. N ebeker of Rich asserted that what appeared to lie argument was almply th Democratic members' reasons tor making the minority report. He Insisted this was an eminently proper thing to ilo. "(inly yesterday," he continued, of the Judiciary "the chairman committee (Crltchlow) submitted In a committee report an elaborate a bill argument against being In opposition to the interests of laboring men. On this occasion he used the report to square himself with laboring men. replied that a minority report was luard simply as a courtesy. He objected to the publication In the minutes of a written argument, evidently prepured by tin attorney in his office, uud requested that all not in with the rule be expunged from the record. The cxehunge of argument continued until Denny ordered the reading of the rciurt as the shortest way out of the trouble. At the completion of the reading, Monson moved that both reports be Ptinti-d- , together with the testimony, taken, and the consideration made the order for Monday at 7:30 oclock, special but subsequently withdrew the latter portion nf thp motion. Xye moved that the minority report be referred bark to Its authors with the request that they separate the argument and findings of fact and report the letter, as the rule provides. Monson argued that the members had no incans nor opportunity of the evidence no as to vote It was Important, he Intelligently. added, thnt no Injustice be done, and In order that the Huns' might reach prnpi r and Just conclusions.

Tlie committee has weighed all the evidence anil reached a conclusion," he The majority has done so and ndded. Is ready to maintain Its position, and I presume the minority Is similarly situated. It Is absolutely unnecessary to have Hie evidence printed. If the majority ure right they must present their cast so rk to convince the House, otherwise thilr findings will fall to the gfound." VOTED AGAINST PRINTING. Dr. Uninliia whs opiosed to the publication of the expense. Xcht-keof Rich said that Mils, containing simple amendments, had been icprit.icd. but "now that a question of Is at Issue, involving ascertaining the will of the people, these gentlemen arc opposed to printing necessary to put the members In possession of the facts, when no expense, no how lnrgo, should stand In the way."
