It was called up and presented to the floor by one of the members of the Rules Committee. the gentleman from Mississippi . but because of a blockade of the calendar that day it could not be reached. and the following week. as a result of certain influences in this House. the resolution was called back to the Committee on Rules. Why. it may be asked. was that done? Well. some gentleman did not like the language in the resolution. and so the Committee on Immigration. your servants. went back in executive session and modified the resolution to comply with the request of that particular gentleman who had asked for the modification of the resolution. Then we introduced a new resolution. When that resolution came before the Rules Committee. another distinguished statesman did not like a certain period and a certain comma. so he wanted the resolution changed.
