understood that Senator Hanna be
sent for before a vote should be taken.
Senator Morgan said he hoped the
proceedings would not be suspended
under a limit of twenty-four hours.
President Day put the motion and
declared it lost.
Senator Reishus had a speech read,
but the vote was put before he had
chance to make it.
President Day then stated that the
senator might proceed.
Senator Reishus: LAS a Populist, I
feel that, as a party, we are five In
number and four of us are ready
to vote. There are forty-six of you
Republicans here and it is not nee
essary to wait for one man. There
are enough Republicans here to carry
out the party pledges and pass this
bill, If they are so disposed
Senator Wyman: ''The senator stated
a few days ago that the Republican
party was between the devil and the
deep sea. He has not yet stated
which is the devil and which is the
sea-
Senator Stevens: 1--WE want to assure
the senator from Lyon that it is not
a question of party, but one of send
ing out to recover one of the lost sheep
and bring him into the fold of the
ninety and nine.''
Senator Reishus: al want to say that
if the absent one was brought in he
would be but one of five, and will not
relieve the Republican party from the
| pledges of it's platform. When l said
that the Republican party was be-
! tween the devil and the deep sea,
meant that it was between the cor
porations on the one side and their
conscience on the other
Senator Yale suggested that one of
the twelve fell from grace in the olden
times.
Senator Reishus: "And he wasn't a
Populist, either"
Senator Sehaller thought it was
hardly fair to question the motives of
an absent senator without knowing
that it was his design to be absent
The senate again resumed a go-easy
gait, and the judiciary committee re-
sumed its hearing on the Hastings &
Dakota railroad land forfeiture bill.
THE EARLIER PROCEEDINGS.
AT the opening of the afternoon
session Senator Barr said that in ac-
cordance with the notice given the
evening before, he moved the recon-
sideration of the vote by which House
File No l was defeated. This is the
Anderson bill to tax unused railroad
lands.
Senator Yale said he hoped the mo-
ton would not prevail. He had re-
Trained from speaking upon the bill
before, but he regarded it as vicious
measure. He then proceeded to re-
view the history of land grants as in
ducements offered to outside capital
to build railro IDS. He took the posi-
ton that the agreement made with
railroads had become a question of
honor and it would neither be expedi-
ent nor fair to break the agreement or
understanding. Senator Yale discuss
ed the measure for half hour and made
a strong argument against the pro-
visions of the bill.
IMPRISONED THEMSELVES.
Immediately after the conclusion of
Senator Yale's speech Senator Allen
moved call of the senate. Several
were found to be absent. 1t was
stated that Senator Hanna was i'll,
and Senator. Schaller moved that he be
excused. Senat,' Allen said that he
proposed to insist that the power of
the senate be exhausted to bring all
senators into the chamber. Senators
Stevens and Morgan alluding to the
charge having been made in the senate
that this was political measure, said
they would favor the proposition ad
vanced to require every senator to be
in his seat and go upon record. The
yeas and nays were taken upon the
motion to excuse Senator Hanna. In
explaining his vote Senator Schaller
said he knew that Senator Hanna is
an honest man and is not coward,
and he had made the motion for that
purpose. The vote resulted in 40
against excusing him to 10 in favor.
The sergeant-at-arms was instructed
to procure a carriage and bring Sen
ator Hanna to the senate chamber.
Senator Keller was excused on motion
of Senator McHale, who stated that
he was beyond Chicago on his way to
Washington. The sergeant-at-armS
was instructed to procure the attend
ance of not only Senator Hanna, but
also Senators Cronkhite and Spencer.
While the sergeant-at-arms was out
on his mission, on motion of Senator
Stevens, the calendar was taken up by
| unanimous consent and a. number of
bills passed.
During the afternoon Senator Sper-
ry was granted request to be ex-
cused from further attendance. He
had received a telegram announcing
the serious illness of his father. He
efa hot h ,ic ha h
was well understood, and he had no in
tention to change his views.
Senator Hanna was brought in by
the sergeant-at-arms shortly before 4
O'Clock. The officer proceeded in his
search for Senator Cronkhite, and the
senate proceeded with the calendar,
with occasional Interruptions to ex-
cuse senators to go to the postoffice
or other points within the. building.
Shortly after o'clock the sergeant
alarms reported that he was unable
to find Senator Cronkhite in st. Paul,
and that he understood that he was in
Minneapolis.
Senator Dunham moved that fur
ther proceedings under the call Of the
senate be dispensed with.
MAKING RECORDS.
Senator Stevens stated that he op-
posed the motion. He said that it had
been said on the floor that this was a
| Republican measure, and he wanted
every senator brought into the senate,
so as to be placed upon record.
Senator Ringdal said he also opposed
| the motion, and he was willing, as far
as his party is concerned, to camp on
| the ground for week in order to
| place every man upon record.
| The motion was lost, and the ser
geant-at-arms was instructed to pur-
| sue his search. The question being
asked, Senator Stevens said it was his
| opinion that the police power of Min
neapolis could not be invoked to bring
the senator to the senate, but that citi-
zens of the state could be called upon
to aid the sergeant-at-arr1s.
Senator Yale suggested that a.
