the following: when any bill or resolution
shall have been under consideration for
reasonable time, it shall be in order for any
Senator to demand that debate thereon be
closed. If such demand be seconded by
majority of the Senators present, the ques-
ton shall forthwith be taken thereon with
out further debate, and the pending meas
ure shall take precedence OF all other
business whatever. After the Senate shall
have decided to close debate, no motion
shall be in order but a motion to adjourn or
to take a recess, when such motions shall be
seconded by majority of the Senate. When
either of such motions shall have been lost,
or shall have failed of a second, 1t shall not
be in order to renew the same until one Sem
ator shall have spoken upon the pending
measure, or one vote upon the same shall
have intervened.'" In the House on mo-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio (by unanimous
