How the resolution carried is given at
the commencement of this article. Next
came the election of chaplain. The
Democrats voted for Rev. Dir. Hess. the
Alliance for Rev. w. c. Rice and the
Republicans for Rev. ID. A. Tawney.
The latter was elected by the regulation

Everything Went.
Senator Stockton named J. c. Turner
for sergeant-at-drmS as the Republican
candidate, and Senator McHaIe placed
the old doorkeeper, John Brown. i'll the

a straight party division, and Turner
was elected, receiving % votes to 81 for
Mr.. Brown. This was followed by the
nomination of John L. Stevens for
assistant doorkeeper by Senator Mott,
who mustered nerve enough to say:
Mr.. Stevens is an old soldier. l hope
the senators will all vote for the old sol
der
When Senator Hompe's name was
reached he announced that he would not
vote.
Il believe the office to be entirely uu-
necessary" he said, land so ask to be
excused"
Senator Sevatson also asked to be eX-
cused, and Senator Stevens brought
down the house by declaring that the
Republican candidate was not rela-
tive.
in accordance with a custom, l
would say that this man is no relative
of mine, and | never heard of him until
he was nominated"

former reformer.
1T Is not on the list" insisted Senator
Canestorp, land l will vote for no more
Offices"
Senator Smith tried to persuade SEN
ator CanestrOp to change his mind, but
it could not be done. The roll call only
gave the man % votes, but when SEN
ator Keller declared that it was time to
give the c0I0red people something,
enough members changed their votes
to give him 81 votes.
Senator Sevatson offered the follow
ing resolution:

pointed by he president of the senate 10 in
quire into the shipping ana handling of grain

the same time give the companies an oppOr-
tunity to show the shippers Of rain and the
people, If they choose to do so, that they are
at present doing all that is reasonable to
handle eXpediiOuslY and with all reasOna-
bic care the grain entrusted 10 them for ship
ment, and whether their charges are reason
able according to the risk that attaches to
them as common carriers. charging, as they
now do, Oh the weight Of the grain and not
on the value, as they usually do on other
kinds of FIRE ght; that the committee is en-
powered to eXpend money for the calling of
witnesses, to employ clerk, if necessary in
the opinion of the committee that the CON-
mittee snail report to the senate its finding,
together with such recommendations as they
may think wise, reasonable ana just TO both
shippers and common carriers.
Notice of debate was given, and the
resolution went over. Senator Day, of
Martin, offered a lengthy joint reSolu-
ton indOrsing the WaShDuru-Hatcn

Morse.

There was disposition on the part of
Senator Day to force a vote on the sus-
pension OF the rules. but when both
Senator Dean and Senator Sanborn op-
and allowed the matter to GO over. Sem
ator Tawney backed Mr.. Day, but when
Senator Daugherty, also a Republican,
wanted 1t Referred
to the grain and warehouse committee,
its fate was SO uncertain that Mir. Day
was afraid to force 1t to a vote. Sen
atOr Dean declared that there is such a
great difference of opinion on the mat
ter that care should be exercised. Sen
atOr SanbOrn, on the other hand, came
sQuarely out against it.
Il cannot understand how the price
of product can be raised by diminish
ing the demand" he said. "This bill
has been up some months, during which
time prices have reached the lowest
point in years"
Senator Leavitt offered a resolution
