excitement prevailed as on the second
days proceedings or the seat steal. Tue
lObbles and galleries were crowded With
ladies' and gentlemen, who seemed 10
expeet scene over the fridiender
matter. On the tiTst roll call frldien-
der dad not answer. but Just as the sec
retaTy Was ready TO announce the re-
suit, ffdleDder slipped IN from the
Lieutenant Governor room and
answered 10 his name. No move la the
matter was made, until the Senate had
been IN session for fifteen or twenty
minutes, when Senator Crockcr sent M
u resolution 10 discharge the select
committee from the further eonsideFa-
uOn OF the Frdlender- Morse case. Ihis
was followed by an explosion, Senators
CrOcker aud Park commenced their
old-tIme believing 10 force the resolu-
ton through. Senators Taylor, Mines
and Weiss desired 10 he heard, bat were
not recognized IN any manner. De
mands Tor the yeas and hays were
waived aside 10y Lieutenant Governor
Strong, with the most stol,d indlffer-
the duties of hs Office. No Republican
was recognized IN any way. When the
question WAS put 10 vote, Senator
Mines was up IN the secretary's place
demanding 10 DC heard. Senator Parks
yelled Tor the previous question. Sen
atOr Croker Was howllng Tor "order,"
Several Republican Senator's moved
down 10 the front and some Democrats
followed. Senator DOran. either fear

or perhaps influenced by the expression
OF disgust on the face OF Edwin +. Uhl,
who sat beside nm, behaved ,lttie
more seemly than usual. He took no
prominent part III the uproar. sena-
tor Mines still persisted III being heard.
Il move the previous question: yelled
Senator Parks, but Lieutenant Cover
nor Strong by this time was IN no con-
dltlOn To tell previous question from
a Cnoctaw prayer book, as he had his
thoughts somewhat engrossed by Sena-
tor Mines demonstrations SO near HIM.
Nerving Himself for the Effort
and ready to dodge any hostile move
ment on the part of Senator Mines, he
put the question. Old bad as
tho boys usually dub Sergeant-at-Arms
Andrews, pranced back and forth, care
full not to get too near to a Republican.
The feeling against him Is such that, If
a fight should by any means be precIpi-
tated, his would be the first nose
smashed and his carroty whiskers dyed
Il brilliant red. The vote was taken
but no man could tell where the pre-.
penderance lay, but the Lieutenant

adopted and refused a demand for 4
luton IS adopted, lies" shouted Senator
at the treatment which ne had
received. This declaration was created
with cheers and Kisses in about equal
number. President Strong hammered
with his gavll as energetically as his
trembling hand woIld admit and
turned red and white by turns. ''Boss"
Hosford made himself conspicuous by
standing near Fridlender, like n guar
dian angel, and dancing up and down
like a jumping-jack, shouting shame,
shame." IN answer to Senator Mines
and Kissing like an enraged snake to
give his fellows the cue. Senator Doran
got IN his usual motion to reconsider
and to indefinitely postpone recon-
sideration. II move to adjourn"
bawled Senator Park. Support the
motion" croaked Croker. But the
Senate was not ready to do so. Senator
Taylor, meanwhile, stood III his place
wildly repeating "Mr. President" tor
ten or dozen times.
The Uproar Gradually subsided
and President Strong gave himself
away by announcing, "Now we will at
tend to the business of the State" FL
nalIy he recognized Senator Taylor.

that the show was at an end.
After the transaction of a little busi-
ness, the general order" was reached
hut the Senate refused to take II up.
A motion to adjourn was voted down.
Meanwhile FrIdiender made "sneak"
