ANOTHER TIE.
The motion to lay Oh the table having
been lost OH the tie vote. the vote re-
verted to the main Questlon-that on
sustaining the decision of the chair.
The roll was called amid the most in-
tense excitement. 1t also resulted 80 to
32 and, according to parliamentary
usage, was declared lost. This vote
was identical with lis predecessor. The
decision of the chair was therefore not
sustained, and the motion of Mr.. Wash
burn to instruct the conferees to recede
from the senate amendment was in
order. There were loud cries Of "Yote. 4"
Vote" from MIR. Aldrich and other
Republicans. CONSERVATION was writ
ten on the faces Of many Demo-
Gratis. Without further ado the
clerk obeyed the instructions
of Mr.. Harris and began calling
the roll. The Democrats under the
caucus agreement stood Dianfully TO
their guns, and, with the exception of
Mr.. Hill, voted against the motion.
Even Mr.. Villas, who made the terrific
arraignment of the sugar trust on Mon
day vo:ed"no" with emphasis. The sem
ators and the crowd of members In the
rear of the chamber eagerly craned
their heads while the clerk was recapit-
ulating the vote. MIR. Brice, Mr.. Aid
rich and Mr.. Cockrell kept tally. An
other tie," was the word that went
hurriedlY about while the clerk was
footing up the totals. Deep silence
reigned as Mr.. Harris arose TO announce
the vote. Upon this question:" said the
presiding officer, with ring of jubila-
ton in his voice, "thirty-two have
voted in the affirmative ard thirty-two
! in the negative, and the motion is lost" "
THE FACES OF THE DEMOCRATS
| lighted with smiles. MI. German i'm
mediately called for vote OH the reso-
lutipn TO agree to the request of the
house for further conference, but 1t was
| agreed to without division.
Then scene "f ineXtricable confusion
followed. Inc democrats were wiring
| ing each others hands enthusiastically. {.
| Their colleagues from the other end of
| the capitol rushed down the aisles and
congratulated them Oil the victory. The
| spectators in the galleries, realizing that
| the tension was over, drew long
breath and filed out. From the press
| gallery it looked as if the senate had
| adjourned. MIR. Harris vacated the chair
to go down on the floor to shake hands
with Mr.. Jones and Cockrell, to whom
he resigned the gavel, but could not
make himself heard above the din for
fully three minutes. After order was
restored, Mr.. Quay, of Pennsylvania,
secured recognition. He drew huge
| pile of manuscript from his desk, and
said he desired to make some observa-
tions on the metal schedule for the ben
eft of the conferees. The prospect of
another installment of Mr.. Quay's
sp3ech appalled, the senate, and leave
to print was hurriedly granted to him
The senate then proceeded to consider
and pass some unobjectiOpable bills on
the calendar. Then, at 3:46 p. % :, the
senate, on motion or Mr.. Gofman, ad-
| journed until Monday.
