ucator. Tbe committee has not been able

Thompson. Some of the trustees are In
favor ot the selection ot Dr. A. B. Storms
ot this city as president at Ames. He Is
a finely educated man, a great speaker
nd familiar with university work, but he
haa not yet given consent to the use of his
name. The effort to secure tbe election of
Prof. Curtlss have not been relaxed, and
his friends believe he will yet be the presi
dent of tbe college.

Speaker Allen then ordered a roll call to
see whether a quorum wa present, and
Mr. Gallagher refused to answer.
"This house is not. in regular session,"
yelled Mr. Gallagher above th tumult, "and
I do not want to be recorded na being

The house responded with a yell, raising

as sergeants-at-arms .to clear tbe aisles
and preserve order.'
Finally the roll cal( was completed and

Mr. Sherman declared that ninety-seven
members constituted a constitutional ma
jority and that tha rule of the house or

the house waa not destroyed by the abdica
tion or withdrawal of lta regular presiding
officer. "He might die," said Mr. Sher
man, "and for parliamentary purpose la
this house he 1 dead."

89, nay 2, aad section 2 by 86 to 1
Tbe succeeding sections -were adopted
without division.
On thi disposal of the question arose as
to what the house should do next, Mr

"The presiding ' officer at the present
time," said he, "I temporary and occupies
th chair only during th abaence of tbe
speaker, who has been elected In th teg
ular manner. ' When the gentlemen come
In to have the permanent organisation, let
them do whatever they think I proper."
Mr. Rinaker then offered a resolution:

the adoption of this resolution, and thi

I have been aDoroacheil at different time.
by parties who Intimated to me that I could
maae money by allowing a roil call on
what Is known a the Mueller traction bill,
or uermlttlnc its uassaae. 1 do not know
whether the parties making the statementa
were authorised to make them or not. but
the statements having been made to me and
some ot them recently tuny convinced me
that there waa something wrong with this
effort on the part of outside parties to push
tnis bin. tor this reason t denied tn roll
call and have stood llrm on this DroDosltlon
to tne limit. A majority or in nouse nav
Ing signified their desire to have a roll call
on the proposition, 1 wash my bands of the
entire matter and will permit a roll call to
be had.
Amid wild confusion, Representativs
