had been observed and the parties stood
even under them. 1t was reported Mr..

a quarter OF two Mr.. Wheat, 'in the
interest Of economy, and to relieve the
pressure on the Gas Board" turned
down the big central chandelier, the
outer doors were closed, and the men,
bers settled down for all night, while
DR.. Caddle, who had been asleep fell out
Of his chair.
The scene In the Second Branch at a
quarter of 2 o'clock was a picturesque
one. In one corner a dozen Democrats
and Republicans were chatting, oc-
cupying positions more comfortable
than graceful, others we're scattered
about, trying to get a few wlnks OF
sleep, and still others were pacing un-
easily about, smoking, or condemning
their luck in having to stay up all night,
4 score or more spectators still fingered
about, and about a dozen politicians
were comforting here and there, trying
to get up q scheme Of some sort to bring
victory TO one side OF the other.
| Gradually the Democrats drifted
| off into a committee room for another
frultless conference. They returned in
a short time, and events drifted on as
before.
At half-past two matters were very
quiet. The Mayor was asleep In a re-
p%orter's chair, while q newspaper man
sat at the Presidents desk making
copy. Assistant Clerk Fee had gone
home, several members were
dazing in chairs, others were
trying to arrange pairs, telling stories,
chatting, etc, while one lone spectator
paced up and down in the gallery puff
ing at a pipe.
At three o'clock the joint session was
still progressing. No additional ballots
had been taken, and there was
no change In the situation.
The first edition OF the morning papers
had arrived, and we're being eagerly
read, their arrival Frightening up the
members very noticeably.
At two minutes after'three the session
was called TO order and the roll was cali
ed. 1t showed but five members OF the
First Branch present, Messrs. Caddle,
Farrell, Hadlich, Halter and RicharS |.
Later, Mr.. Irwin was found.
Mr.. Cruise said he kicked on q few
members standing the brunt of staying
up all night, and moved to adjourn I'M
Til Tuesday night.
Mr.. Maxwell suggested to make IL
the first meeting night in November.
Mr.. Wheat said there were several
members down in police headquarters,
and could be brought up. He was In
favor Of playing the game out.
Finally a vote was had on Mr.. Max
Wells suggestion. and it stood ayes Is,
nays 10.
The session therefore adjourned at
10 a. N,
