the two Virginia senators-Daniel and
Hunton. On the republican side of the
chamber there was a general indication of
wearineSS. In the meantime, regardless
of his surroundings, except so far as to
ask that conversation be not quite so loud,
Mr.. Stewart went on with. his discourse,
largely composed Of quotations from
books, editorials and reports.
''No, SIR; DON'T WANT TO STOP"
In about a quarter of an hour after he
started Mr.. Dolph whispered an inquiry
to him whether he did not want to stop,
and was rewarded by the abrupt reply,
mo, sir; don't want TO stop"
Soon afterwards Mr. Teller quietly APP
preached with him like suggestion, but
with no more success.
Ten minutes later Mir Dolph renewed
his proposition, but was again repulsed,
MIR. Stewart saying that he had half u
dozen speeches to make yet and that he
wanted to get them Off. Laughter.
However, he consented to stop, and
said he would finish his argument on
some other occasion.
Extending THE DAILY SESSIONS.
Then Mr.. Voorhees, rose and slowly and
very deliberately made this announce
ment TO the Senate; 81 may say that u
conference-con ultation-has taken place
this afternoon between myself and sena-
tors on this side, and senators on the
other side of the chamber, friends and OPP
ponents of the pending measure, which
has resulted substantially, as | under
stand, in an agreement as to the hours
which we will occupy, at least for some
time TO come, In debate Without going
into details, am warranted in moving
that on Monday, and from after that date,
the hour Of meeting of the Senate shall
be II o'clock instead Of IL O'Clock, with
the understanding that an adjournment
will take place at 6 o'clock.
SEVEN HOURS DAY.
"That, Mr.. President, gives seven hours
of the session, the same as we have been
struggling for by prolonging the session
into the evening. | think that seven
hours, for the present at least, is a sutfi-
cient time TO keep the Senate together
during the day. lam assured that there are
ten or twelve senators who desire TO dis
cuss this question, of whose good faith /
have no right to have any
suspicion and have none l have
every reason to believe that when
legitimate and fair debate has been
exhausted (Which means that whenever
every man here has said what he thinks
ought to be said by him or his constitu-
ency on ana for the cause at issue) a vote
will be very near at hand. There is no
power, after fair and full debate is COM
pletely exhausted, to waste the time of
the country or Of the Senate. | say this
without committing anybody except my
self, but have given this subject as care
full attention as | am capable Of doing.
MIR. VOORHEES, CARRIES HIS POINT.
81 therefore, Mr. President, submit the
motion that the Senate meet at II o'clock
on Monday, and from and after that date,
until further order, at the same hour.
This agreement, having been practically
understood, will supercede the struggle
for a continuous session this evening and
tomorrow, which is by no means pro-
ductive of fruitful results nor of
personal comfort II must be
taken notice of that the extension
of time in the evening is exceedingly in
convenient to senator's and whether we
shall hereafter be compelled to meet and
sit all night or not, at least we are not in
that situation at the present time.
make the motion and ask for a vote upon
it, or If unanimous consent viii be given,
it is better still. / ask Mr.. President,
the consent of the Senate to that prOpo-
sition.N
The Vice President stated the request
for unanimous consent, and said that as
no objection had been made it was 80 or
dered
The Senate, after a short executive ses-
sion, at G:10 O'Clock p m, adjourned until
tomorrow noon.
