The only way by which the two Houses can ever come to an agreement is through a committee of conference. The rules so prescribe. Now. the only possible effect that the adoption of the motion of the gentleman from Missouri can have will be that the question will be referred to the Committee on Immigration to determine whether or not the House shall agree to the Senate amendments or disagree and agree to the request for a committee of conference. Now. is there any necessity for the House. which is capable of deciding the matter now. to submit to that committee the decision of that simple question. whether or not we will agree or disagree to the Senate amendments. Why. my friend from Missouri who is making this motion never would consent to the Senate amendments as they came here. and in committee he surely would not vote for the adoption of a report recommending that this House accept the Senate amendmuents.
