amended by the House ensued, and
for some time the utmost confusion
prevailed. The chair decided that
a motion to amend has precedence
over a motion to concur or non
concur. An appeal was taken, and
the Senate, by vote of IA to IL,
refused to sustain the decision.

40 cents and inserting 80 cents, was
concurred in by the following vote /:
Ayes-Messrs. Beckerdite, Bran
don, Byrd, Clapp, Driskill, Ewing,
Hanson, Miller. Morris, Patton,

Davidson--14.
Noes-Messrs. Anderson, Bib,
Bledsoe, Grove, Landis, Moss, Saw
age, Smith of Meigs, Tolley, Will
son, Speaker Neal-l1.
Mr.. Roberts moved to concur in
the amendment relating to railroads,
and there was again a heated dis
cussion over parliamentary techni-
calities, the Senate finally concur
ring in the amendment by the same
vote as above.
Mr. Roberts then moved to con
cur in the amendment of the House
with reference to submitting the
compromise proposition to the
