hams and Yegen.
Both sides took their tip from this
vote. The resubmisslonists fruitlessly
endeavored to force an adjournment, or
by dllatory tactics to prevent the adopt
ion of the majority report, which would
carry with it the indefinite postponement
OF the proposition. Dilatory motions in.
Vulnerable followed, but the prohibition
lists finally succeeded in ordering the
previous question and the report OF the
majority was adopted by vote of 35 to
~. This vote is not significant, however,
as there were several changes. When
the roll call was completed the vote
stood 81 to %, but several resubmission-
lists voted with the majority for the pur-
pose of moving reconsideration.
After the adoption of the majority re-
port, Hill sprung that arbitrary motion
to reconsider and to lay the motion tc re-
consider on the table, which If carried
forever settles the matter. The antis had
enough votes to carry the motion, but
before it got to a vote kearney moved a
call of the house and call was ordered
Williams was the only man absent and
not excused, and he cannot be found,
The sergeant at arms and two assistants
have been securing the town in search of
him. Under the rules it requires 80
votes to dispense with call of the horse
and here the resubmissionists have the
"antis" on the hip. In order to fully
understand the situation the position of
the absentees must be known. Or the
seven, the resubmissionists clam six for
the proposition. They are Daily, Daniel,
Ebbin hauser, Holritz, Larson and White.
Christianson is said to be "agin" the
proposition. Take thetest vote 90 against
to 26 for and add to the resubmission
force and you have 32 votes
a majority OF the house
and enough to pass the
proposition through. The plan now is
to hold the house under call until 9:2O in
the morning, when the tram from the
east is expected to bring in the absentees'
and the condition in which the matter
Was left when the house went under call
leaves way out for the ''re's.' A mo-
ton to reconsider and lay the motion to
reconsider on the table was pending.
With 80 votes this motion will be de-
feated and then the question will be
open again. This in outline is the plan
of the resubmissionists and is state
ment OF their hopes and the basis there
of. The resubmisslonists count these
men with them.

Among those who did valiant service
during the fight we're Messrs. Brooke,
Lutz, Brown, Burke, and Triplett for the
resubmissionists and Messrs. Oliver,
Gill and Burton for the ants.
During the call of the house the men,
bers are enjoying themselves. They are
not permitted to leave the room, but
that does not worry them, as the capital
lunch stand will satisfy their appetite.
Col. Brown, the glddy old veteran of
Grand Forks, opened the fun with a
