ADJOURNMENT TILL MONDAY

Mr. RUDDELL. Mr. Speaker-I move that the House adjourn.

Mr. COFFROTH. Would it not be better to say, when the House adjourns it shall be till Monday morning, 9 o'clock? Otherwise we would have to be here at 2 o'clock to-day.

Mr. RUDDELL. My motion is made. Let him amend it.

Mr. COFFROTH. I move, then, to amend the motion, so as to make it: That when the House adjourns to-day, it shall be till Monday morning, 9 o'clock.

Mr. GORDON. I rise to a point of order. Nothing can be in order till the journal is read.

The SPEAKER. There is not a quorum. The journal is not read till the Chair is satisfied that there is a quorum.

Mr. RUDDELL accepted Mr. Coffroth's amendment, and so his motion was agreed to by consent.
