A bill passed the Senate which we had formerly passed and was amended by one word. There has been a great deal of pressure to get an agreement on the part of the House to the amendment made by the Senate in order that the departments interested might get to work on Important matters. I came hereand my own innocence of the method of procedure accounts for the failure to advise the minorityand asked permission of the gentleman representing the committee in charge of the immigration bill to have that matter considered. It was a very slight interruption. as the facts demonstrate. because not over 45 seconds were consumed. Of course. it did lead to a kind of fiasco. which we have all felt the strain of. but. so far as there is any apology to make and expression of regret. it Is due that I make it. and I do so.
