When Mr. Morgan resumed his seat,
the clock showed the hour to be ten min
uteS before O'Clock. No senator made u
sign OF desire to occupy the interval Of
ten minutes, after which it would be the
duty of the Vice President to lay the re-
peal bill before the Senate as unfinished
business.
After a short pause MIR. Voorhees, sug-
gested that the resolution should go to
the calendar and the Senate should now
proceed with the repeal bill. That sug-
gestlon met with opposition on the part
of Messrs. Morgan and Harris.

ris whether it had been because of the
vote just taken or because it was the un-
finished business.
The vote will help some," said Mr..
Voorhees,
The Vice-President ruled that the bill
was before the Senate by virtue of its
being the unfinished business as we'll as
by virtue Of the vote just taken.
MIR. STEWART TAKES UP THE SILVER THREAD.
Stewart took the floor, and outlined his
speech Of notwithstanding it at the

sition he ascribed to the fact that two
years ago there was mo money at stake, "
while now the New York papers were

power and seeking TO wrench from the
people their rights under the constitu-

After spending an hour on this subject
he paused for a rest, and Mr.. Teller came
to his aid by suggesting the absence of a
quorum.
The roll was called, and, majority OF
senators trooping in from the cloak room,
fifty-nine senators answered, and Mr..
| Stewart proceeded.

floor and showing no symptoms of bring.
ing his speech to close, when at 5 O'Clock
D. m, Mr.. Voorhees-his patience appar-
emily exhausted him whether he

the senator's permission, he would move
to proceed to executive business The
motion was agreed to, and after a short
executive session the Senate, at 3 Ia
O'Clock adjourned until tomorrow noon.
