erly devised scheme worked up by Dubois
and Teller. They discovered that while q
quorum was present for all purposes
where pairs could be disrcgarded, there
was not q quorum on points demand
Ing the observation Of pairs. Teller
also discovered that tho rules provided
that . public document which had once
been read could not again bo read except
BY unanimous consent. PETER was speak
ing at the time and soon finished up a
public document. Teller raised point OF
order against its reading. The chairman
decided the point and an appeal was
taken. This was what the silver mon
were looking for and . roll call was
ordered. showing no quorum present.
Then the repeal men stepped into
another trap. Villas tried to force Dubois
to vote. After long debate on effort was
made to take vote that the senate would
not excuse Dubois from voting. This re-
sultinR In another lack OF quorum the
senate was forced to adjourn.

mated that he would vote against uncon-
ditional repeal, but said he would vote
against conditional repeal. as proposed

acterized ms "very ridiculous. very in
furious and very cowardly." Various
important amendments to the rules
were offered and went over until

reading by senators of speeches either
written or printed, to permit tho counting
OF senators present and not voting, to dis
qualify senators interested in national

Thd silver purchase repeal bill was
taken up at 2:45 and the vice president
| set about disentauRling the parliamentary
twist into which the senate had got itself
last night over the question whether Du.
bois should be excused from voting on the
question of allowing PETER to have docu.
| ment read at the clerks desk. BY a vote
| OF % to 81 the senate refused to excuse
Dubois. The name of the Idaho senator

less than ~ responded at the roll call, -
more than q quorum and by far tho larges,
| number that appeared on any roll call
during the session.
After some moro parliamentary pitfalls
from which the vice president skillfully
extricated himself, the question was put
whether documents should be read from
the clerks desk, and il was decided in the
affirmative, yeas 80. nays 30. A docu.
ment was accordingly read as part OF
Pcffer's speech. PETER then yielded
the floor to Jones Of Nevada, vino

who made motion for adjournment and
Jones assented. Voorhees, said IL there

sires to answer In the language Of tho im.
