FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1883.-Pages 561-563. Mr. Butterworth, from the committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill of the House (H. R.7077) making appropriations for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1884, and for other purposes, submitted the following report, viz: The accompanying statement having been read, Mr. Bragg made the point of order that the statement accompanying the said report was not in order, for the reason that it was not in com- . pliance or conformity with Rule XXIX, and also the further point of order that the report itself was in compliance with the said rule. The Speaker overruled the point of order, on the ground that it was not for the Chair to decide whether a conference report and accompanying statement was or not in strict conformity with said rule, that being a question of fact. SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1883.-Page 568. Mr. Kelley, as a privileged question, from the committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill of the House (H. R. 5538) to reduce internal-revenue taxation, submitted the following report, viz: Mr. Bayne made the point of order that the said report was not in order for present consideration, on the ground that the detailed statement required by Rule XXIX did not accompany said report. After debate on the said point of order, The Speaker sustained the same, on the ground that the paper submitted by Mr. Kelley, entitled "Index to changes proposed by the committee of conference," though signed by the majority of the conferees on the part of the House, was not in compliance with the last clause of Rule XXIX. Mr. Kelley thereupon submitted a detailed statement accompanying said conference report, as required by said rule. Mr. Carlisle made the point of order that the said statement was not such a statement as is required by the rule, for the reason that it only states the effect of the amendment proposed by the Senate, whereas the rule requires a statement sufficiently explanatory to show the effect of the propositions reported by the committee. The Speaker overruled the point of order. 44 H Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Bayne Mr. Blackburn Mr. Blanchard Mr. Blount.. Mr. Bowman. Mr. Butterworth. Mr. Cabell Mr. Camp Mr. Chapman.
