HoN. s. A. CONVERSE:
My Dear SRA question having arts.
en- concerning your vote on the Mccoy
Amendment to Senate File Is, want, in
justice to you, to make over my signature
statement OF the facts with reference
thereto. Your seat is Immediately in
front of mine, and l had frequent occa-
sion to consult you before and after the
occurrence referred to, and You stood
earnestly with me in the work all the
time. When the vote came on that
amendment kept II tally, as did others
near me. You voted with me against the
amendment, but as my tally sheet show
ed, as did the tally sheets Of others near,
that the amendment had carried, spoke
to you and asked you to change your vote,
SO that You could move reconsideration
when, with the full number Of Senators
present, or if some should, MS I hoped
they might, change their minds, We might
reverse the work then done. You CON-
piled with that request and changed your
vote. Afterward it was found that the
vote as recorded by the Secretary did not
show a majority in favor of the amend
ment without your vote. Whose tally and
record were correct I am unable now to
determine. Those tally sheets near me
agreed, being the same rs mine and show
ing majority for the amendment with
out your vote.
What I particularly desire to say now
is, that you, in changing Your vote, did SO
at my request and for the reason stated.
II any one is to be blamed for the man.
ner in which yon cast it, it is |, and de-
sire that this shall be known to any one
interested in the matter.
/ feel most grateful to You for the thor
oughly cordial and loyal manner in which
you sust aimed my efforts and those OF the
Railway Committee in the memorable
contest which closed with the passage
through the Senate last Friday night Of
House File 373, as amended by the Senate
Railway Committee and the Senate.

lance out of the village to do it. That
delicate consideration probably saved the
life Of StrinesviEe small boy but it killed

play the bull was feeding in its pasture,
which was near the spot chosen by the
band While the band was getting its
collective lip ready to compel tune from
its horns. the small boy referred to was
taking short cut through the pasture to
reach the band The bull took note Of
the small boys presence, and proceeded
at once to hasten his trip across the lot.
The band had not seen the procession
moving through the meadow, although
the bull was mounting his displeasure
Justify as he ran. and the small boy was
lifting up his voice in audible and pene-
trating tones. The bull was within three
jumps OF the boy when the band had got
ready to play. The band played At the
first burst the bull stopped short. threw
up his head and shifted the air. The in
