side of the House.

tellers. 
Pending the vote on the demand for tellers, 
Mr. Arxiyson, of Pennsylvania, demanded the yeas and nays. 
Mr. B. Burrerwortn. Mr. Speaker, before that is put, as we have a 
good deal of business on hand, I would like to inquire what will be 
satisfactory to my friends on the other side. I do not understand this 
tangle, and I think there ought to be a way out of it without consum- 
ing so much time. 
Mr. Entor. I would say to the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Butter- 
worth] that all I want is twenty or twenty-five minutes on my 
resolution. 
Mr. Burrerwortu. I hope that will be granted. 
Mr. J. H. Ournwarrr. The committee that have had this matter in 
chdérge have not had a meeting, and have not considered it. 
Mr. Burrerwortu. I ask unanimous consent that the gentleman 
from Tennessee be allowed to proéeed for twenty-five minutes. 
Mr. Arxryson, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a 
statement. . 
Mr. Entor. The gentleman will have an opportunity to state any 
facts he wishes to. 
Mr. Arxrnson, of Pennsylvania. I am chairman of the Committee 
on Expenditures in the Treasury Department. I have never received 
notice that that resolution was referred to that committee. If I had 
received notice or knowledge of it I should have called the committee 
together and had it considered. My colleagues on the committee will 
bear me out in the statement that we have not had any bills pending 
before that committee recently, and therefore we have not held reg- 
ular meetings. We are perfectly willing to have a hearing upon this 
resolution and hear anything that the gentleman from Tennessee or 
any other gentleman may desire to say about it.
