Senator Morrill, at 9:15 moved the Senate ad-
journ; he had no doubt each side would be
willin" to have the bill disposed of during the
day. He thought that as reasonable men they
could reach such conclusion.

unconditionally.
Senator Morrill, have no reasonable doubt
this bill can be disposed of to-day.
Senator Platt-I cannot consent that the bill
shall be disposed Of at any particular time.
Senator Pendleton-Will the Senator agree
that the bill shall be disposed of to-day.
Senator Platt-At no time.
Senator Eaton-I desire to be considered. so
far as the Democratic Senators are concerned
that we have been anxious all the time there
should be no adjournment until this matter is
settled, to-day or tomorrow, no matter how
long it may be, whether ten or twenty hours.
The Senate refused to adjourn. t3
Senator Burnside moved that the sergeant
alarms be requested to compel the attendance
Of absentees.
Senator Eaton said it would be we'll to know
who they were, and for that purpose, on his
motion, there call of the Senate, and
twenty Senators answered to their names.
The question having been stated Senator
Rollins humorously remarked that he hoped
the Senator from Rhode Island did not mean
military force to compel absentees to attend.
Senator Burnside said a quorum could be
readily secured if ten carriages were employed
to bring in the absentees.
Senator Thurman remarked if they waited
until they had breakfasted they would come in
good humor, but If they were compelled to
como before breakfast, they would be ill-tem-
pered; therefore it would be better to wait.
Senator Burnside said it is now half-past
nine, and Senators have breakfasted.
Senator Thurman replied it was in the power
of the majority to adjourn. When the proper
hour arrived at noon, their meeting at the
usual time, the Senate could resume
consideration of the bill without
conditions. They did not want it understood
they would be compelled to vote. It could be
determined where the responsibility rested.
Senator Thurman then resumed the chair.
Senator Rollins moved that the sergeant at
arms request the attendance of absentees and
not compel them to. attend. Rejected. The
motion of Senator Burnside was agreed to at
fifteen minutes to 10 and the sergeant-at- arms
proceeded to the execution of the order to
compel the attendance of the absentees.
twenty-five Democrats and five Republicans
were present. This number was increased from
time to time by the arrival of others. After a
long pause in the proceedings Senator Withers,
at II 80, made parliamentary inquiry, whether
if the Senate adjourned now the legislative day
of Thursday would begin at noon. The chair
responded it would. Withers then moved to
