DOVER. Feb. 10.-Party lines were
drawn in the Senate yesterday afternoon
but not upon party issues Speaker
Houston and Senator Ross wanted to 60
to their homes, and tried to induce the
Senate and House to adjourn until Mon
day. Senator Ross had a joint resolu-
tion drawn, but as both legislators were
running different lines for adjournment,
the speaker did not know that Senator
Ross was loaded for the occasion. II
was almost time for the southbound
train and too late for the 354 north
bound train.
Speaker Houston went into the House
and when he left there thought he had
everything fixed for concurrence in
Joint resolution for adjournment.
When he resumed the chair Senator
Ross offered his joint resolution. Just
as the Senate was about to vote upon IL
word was received that the House had
adjourned until 10 o'clock to day. The
Senate Joint resolution was dropped by
mutual consent.
1t had scarcely reached the speakers
desk before Senator Pilling moved ad
iournment until 10 o'clock to-day. This
brought Senator Pyle to his feet. He
said:

member wants to go home let him go.

this end of the county In the future

Pilling-"Mr SpenKer, / rise TO
point Of order. A motion to adjourn is
not debatable."
The motion to adjourn was lost

we are not out Matching up schemes.
