\. NJ. tomorrow, the Senate take a recess
until that hour--the object of that move
ment being to keep the tariff bill per
petually before the Selate-to the eX-
cluslon of the morning business and OF
all other business. The motion was re-
sisted on the Republican side, and was
met with a resort 10 hlibustering-th
Republicans declining to FOte, and leaving
the Senate without a quorum. Then. on
motion of Mr.. Harris the Sergeant-at-
Arms WAS requested to ask the attend
ance of abSentees.

journ, but was voted down-ll TO %. y
quorum was secured at S:45. That fact
however, did not eelieve the situation. for
on "A motion TO dispense with further
proceedings under the call there We're
only 30 senators voting-5 Republicans, and
81 Democrats. As this showed the con-
tinusd absence of a quorum, the roll was
again called, and % responded. The
question required on Mr.. Aldrich's mo-
ton TO dispense with further proceedings
and this time there were no Republi-
cans voting in the affirmative. The roll
had then to be called again. and the same
tactics were resOrted to on the part
OF the Republicans. and the same Ieslit
WAS reached -. ~ -
,rhe final result was that the motion
to dispense with further proceedings under
the call and the motion for a recess were
both withdrawn, and for a few minutes
there was a pretence IF resuming con-
sCeration of the bill. but there were 50
many things to which amendments were
proposed that the attempt was abandoned,
AMI Mr.. Harris again appeared on the
scene to make his closing remarks.
