DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE senate
held but brief session yesterday morn

adjourn FOR the day, giving as a reason
that the State Agricultural society was in
session in the city and that many of the
senators desired to attend the annual
meeting. A roll call being demanded on
the motion, the Democrats voted solidly
against it, and with the vote of Engle and
BroweTf defeated it.

was no election, and from this decision
Senator Finn appealed. He evidently
made this movement without consultation.

once. The Democrats appointed a com
niittcc consisting of Senators Bolter
Shields, Cleveland, Schmidt and Yeomans,
to take their case in hand and decide upon
the course to pursue and to make the fight
upon the floor. In the Republican caucus
Brewer was absent because he will not
agree to make any trade with Engle, and
