special order tor | l a. NJ, tomorrow.
The fellow servant bill was again
called up on a motion to reconsider
the vote bv which it had failed o.
passage last Friday. The motion to
reconsider was called and the hill
again placed on final passage.
At this stage of the proceedings
several senators who had pledged
themselves for the bill fastened pre-
cipitously out Of the senate chamber
SO as to dodge voting on the measure.
The friends of the bill seeing this
maneuver, tried to break the quorum
so that call of the senate could be
ordered and the sergeant-at-arms sent
after the absentees. The odds how
ever, were impossible to overcome,
and the final result on the passage Of
the bill rs announced by the secretary
was ayes IL, noes IL absent, 8.
The measure was thus beaten.
After the announcement of the result,
the dodgers gradually drifted back to
the senate chamber and business once
more resumed Its usual course.
HOUSE.
The house this morning voted to
reconsider its action in discharging the
35 superfuous clerks and a substitute
resolution is in preparation dispens-
ing with some of them and retaining
Others.
The substitute will be brought up
at the session tomorrow morning and
more time will probably be devoted to
speech-making on this subject
which ought properly be en-
ployed in passing the important legis-
lation which is yet pending. After
the clerks discharge" question had
been relocated till tomorrow for
settlement, the St. Louis excise CON-
missioner bill was called up and a
roaring, rafting, wild west scene en-
sued for the next two hours. The
Democrats had made this party
measure and in caucus decided to pass
it despite the anticipated opposition
on the part of the Republicans. The
minority party fought hard and des-
perately against the passage of the
message.
Dilatory motions were thick as
leaves of Vallambrosa, and demands
for roll call were made at every OPP
pOrtunity. The bill, however, de-
spite all opposition was finally forced
to vote and passed with every demo-
cratic vote registered in its favor. AMI
every republican vote against it.
AFTERNOON Session.
The afternoon session of the house
was fully as interesting as the morn
ing session.
The proceedings opened with gal
liant effort on the part of Bond of st.
Louis, to secure the passage of his
bill repeating the special jury law. |
The bill, however, was defeated. lack
