Failed 10 Get Up.
When it came the turn of Mr.. Sullivan
to call up bill he moved suspension
of the rules to put on its passage 5. F.
2ll, the bill to prohibit pool selling and
bOokmaking. The motion was lost Oil

The house also refused to take up S.
F. $50. Mcmillan. providing for sale at

be misunderstanding.

bill, was taken from the table, after a
tremendous forensic battle. but before
the bill could be put Oh its final passage
the speaker suggested that as the house
was liable to adjourn in hurry it
would be well to set an hour for meet
ing today. He moved that when the
house adjourned it be to meet at IL a.
III. today. This motion prevailed.
Then a motion to adjourn, by Mr..
jacobson, was voted down. The gentle
man from Lac qui Parle at once moved
a call of the house, and, on motion to
dispense Withfurther proceedings under
the call, he administered rlch-brown
roast to what he called the disgraceful
railroad lobby on the floor working to
conserve only the interests of the farm-
erS.
Close to Fight.
Right here occurred the most exciting
scene that has yet TRANSFERRED OH the
floor. Mr.. Lende had scared the floor
and attacked the bill fiercely. He ex-
pressed willingness to allow any man
the merits of "5uch real good BILL as
he sarcastieally dubbed it, and the
challenge was taken up with alacrity
by Mr.. Lockwood. The gentleman
from PipestOne took hold of MIR. Lende.
who was facing the chair, to turn him
around, and this he did several times.
The latter grew very reSentful and
warned Mr.. Lockwood to keep hands
off. Then Mr.. Wyman, who was in
the chair, ordered the sergeant-at-
arms to separate the gentlemen. Cool
ing down, Mr.. Lende gave way tenn
porarily to Mr.. Lockwood, who made a
vehement speech in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Lende replied by moving to strike
out section 2, the section of most vital
interest to the railroads. This was
ruled out of order and the previous
question was declared ordered.
Mr. jacobson and Mr.. Waeek rose to
/ wrathfully protest. but the chair ruled
them out of order. From this decision
they appealed. and the yeas and nays
were ordered on the appeal.
Purely a Mob.
The house had long since ceased to
be deliberative body, although Mr..
Wyman stroye hard and faithfully to
retain semblance of order. While the
roll call was in progress the extreme of
confusion reigned, which was only in
ten5ified when the vote was announced
as sustaining the chair. Mr.. jacobson
and his friends stood for the yeas and
nays, but were arbitrarily ruled down,
and despite the most wrathful kind of
protest, uttered in voices trembling
with passion, the third reading of the
bill was ordered begun by the chair.
This reading was simply farce. The
words could not be understood. and if
they could no one was paying any atten-
ton. When it was finished, Messrs.
jacobson. Lende, Wacek and Mcguire
were on their feet demanding call Of
the house. The chairman jauntily ig
nored them. and directed the clerk to
proceed with the roll call. AS this went
on one opponent of the bill after an
other rose to explain his vote.
Doodle Dragged In.
Mr.. Biorge boldly charged that the
most disgraceful kind Of lobbying had
openly bought, he alleged "Why, Mr..
Chairman" said he, humping his desk,
Il have been offered money tonight to
vote for this bill. And L desire to here
and now enter my solemn protest
against the passage of this bill. | vote
no."
Messrs. jacobson, Lende, Leonard and
Mcguire were called down on the one
minute limit while explaining their
votes. MIR. Mcguire questioned the
legality of the passage Of the bill. as it
was then after IL o'clock D. m. on the
last day on which bills could be passed.
The chair coolly announced he had no
means of kno Wing-the clock had been
stopped long time previously. 1t was
started afterward, however. SO that the
bill could be passed before midnight
by the same old clock.
When the roll had been called many
members changed their vote from "aye''
to mo-" and on being announced the
vote stood 43 for, 62 against. So the
bill was lost.
The house had cooled down by this
time and some representatives were
fretting to get up measures they were
