to allow railways to build to Cook city.
When Mr.. Carter was before the commit.
tee he stated that the only objection was
a. to the security OF the rights- oi-way
The iirst proposition was to grant a
right-ol-way to the Cook city railroad
Company. This was rejected, and an-
other propoHtiou was made to open shat
part Of the park, so that any road might
build.
Mr.. Holmsn claimed that the bill was
plan of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and he was opposed to any scheme Of
that road.
Mr.. Stockhridgo claimed that thero
was money power behind the scheme,
and he was therefore opposed To II.
The Cook city country might be rich a
mineral wealth, but 1t was certain th at II
this bill was passed some one would
make money out OF it. lie should op-
pose 1t.

no plan OF ordering the previous ques-
tion In the senate, and as long as some
senator desires to talk there is no way OF
shutting him OIL. When there is no
longer any excuse for talking, the demo-
Gratis will refuse to vote and give the
presiding officer an opportunity tocount
a quorum. When the debate grows so
monotonous that the republicans will
leave the chamber, the democrats will
move AN adjournment. Already the
republicans are trying to get the demo-
Gratis to Tx date to close the debate,
