During the calling of the roll, while Sen
ator Alexander was explaining his vote,
Senator Allan made the point of order that
the previous question has been ordered, and
that as it is not debatable an explanation
is out of order
The President ruled the point not W ell
taken. on the ground that although the
previous question cuts off debate the real
question was upon the final passage of the
bill, which is debatable question, and that
therefore a Senator can explain his vote
under the rule, allowing an explanation on
all questions in their nature debatable.
And the bill was finally passed.
On motion of Senator Sypher the title
was amnded by striking out fifty thou
sand and inserting forty thousand and
the title as amended was ordered to stand.
and the bill was ordered sent to the House
for concurrence.
