The session Of the senate was devoted
to the discussion of Calls public land
resolution and a general colloquy over
the federal elections bill. a motion to

Gratis. Dolph said the questions raised

regularly introduced in the senate at
every congress for years part and the
committee on public lands had usually
decided that the matter was no longer
within the control of congress. The

one presented by Chandler allowing

dietary committee, by vote of to A,
ordered a favorable report on Bailey's
resolution questioning Carlisle's right
to issue bonds
That the New York democrats do not
consider themselves bound by last
nights caucus action was evident this
morning when, after the reading of
the journal, Cochran continued filibus-
tering by making point of no quor-
um. Before the roll call was completed
he changed his mind and withdrew the
point.

resumed. The pending amendment to fix
October first as the date on which the
doll and toy schedule shall go into ef-
feet was agreed to.
