verted from the main current OF nls argu-
hent and promised 70 devote himself TO
the subject in All orderly manner for the
next 10 hours.
The threat contained In the promise
turned out, however, TO be an empty one,
for at 4 o'clock Mr.. Martin yielded TO IA
tigus and left the floor, SO that he could
seek another opportunity of addressing
the senate.
After Mr.. Martin the floor was taken by
Mr.. Teller (Rep, Colo.), who continued =
speech against the bill which he began
last week.
Stewart Right In It.
About o'clock last evening the sltua-
tion in the senate took on new aspect
and at that hour it appeared that the sill
yer men had assumed the aggressive, even
to the extent of compelling the presence
of their enemies. The visible signs OF
wesrness on the countenances OF the sen
ators were increasing with the passage Of
each hour, and every time the sharp double
ring OF the electric bells called for a
quorum they rose from their lounges and
came into the chamber reluctantly. Mr..
Sherman went home after dark, declaring
that be would not do more than 10 hours
Of such work continuously.
At $50 Senator Stew art got the floor,
and, intoxicated with the exuberance OF
his own verbosity, and stimulated by he

galleries, ne calmiy replied, ,when appealed
to yield for a motion to take recess,
tAst he proposed to talk until Sunday
morning without intermission. Hope was
entertained In some quarters, however,
that Mr.. Stewart could be induced to de-
sist bef ore midnight
About o'clock Secretary Carlisle again
made his app earance at the Capitol and
was soon cloeeted in q committee room
with several repeal senators.
At l0:45, when Mr.. Stewards voice was
showing evident signs Of weakness, Mr..
Colt made the usual reference TO the ab-
sence Of quorum, and Mr.. voorhees,, after
the roll-call had disclosed only 80 senator's
present, asked that the names OF the alb
seutees should be recorded.
The names excluding the senators ex-
cused) thus blackisted were as follows;
Messrs. Adrich, Allen, Blackburn, Butler,
Call, Cameron, Carey, Chandler, Cockrell,
Coke, Daniel, Dubois, George, Gibson,
Hansbrough, Irby, Jones, Kyle, Martin,
Mills, PETER, Perkins, Pettigrew, Power,
PuRh, Ransom. Roach, Sherman, Shoup,
Teller, Vest, White and Wolcott.
1t was nearly 1880 before Messrs. Pal
mer, Brice and Villas and Berry were
Lund to complete the quorum, and Mr..
Stewart, much refreshed by several cups OF
bouillon, resumed his talk.
Shortly before o'clock Mr.. Gallinger OF
New Hampshire asked the senator from
Indiana (Mr Voorhees) whether he ex-
pected the senate to remain In session
much longer without their much-needed
rest. He confessed that he himself
would he glad TO hear a motion to ad-
journ. "The senator from Indiana" he
continued, need not answer unless he
chooses, but If he does not answer i shall
certainly not remain here much longer"
Mr.. Stewart continued his speech l5
minutes longer, when, on n otion Of Mr..
VOORHEES,, the senate adjourned, AT 1870
a. m.
At 1:40 this morning the sergeant-at-
arms submitted his report in writing,
which showed that there we're two SEN
ators absent from the city, II excused by
the senate, four unable TO attend on ac-
count of sickness, nine In the Capitol who
made no answer TO the summons and 10
reported at their residences as absent from
home and could not be found. Immedi-
stely after this report, Mr.. Voorhees, said
that, In view OF the report of the SER
geant.at-arms, il WAS evident that no fur
ther business could be transmitted and he
therefore moved that the senate adjourn.
There was no opposition, and at las a. IN.
the senate adjourned until IL o'clock to-
day,
