DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE-I B. R.. Los
Gatos, Santa Clara County, Cal. The question,
"At what hour on the Fourth of July was the
Declaration OF Independence signed?" cannot
be answered in any other way than to state
that it was not signed on that day. The docu
ment was adopted in Continental Congress on
that day. On the evening of the Fourth Presi-
dent Harrison reported that the declara-
ton, which had been under consideration
for several days, had been agreed upon, and
1t was then adopted. There is no record of
the exact hour OF the adoption OF this i'm
gress ordered the declaration engrossed, and
on the I'd OF August following the instrument
having been engrossed on parchment, was pre-
signed by the members in a body or not is not
recorded 1t is fair to suppose that so i'm
portant document was presented at the
morning session, which was held at 10 clock
and was, without delay, signed.

OREGoN's SENAToR-C. B. L. Salem, Or. Ac-
cording to the law OF Oregon in relation to the
election of United States Senator it appears
that vote is taken in each house OF the Legis-
lature and if a majority OF each house votes
for the same candidate then, at the Joint ses-
are cast for the candidate and he is declared
the Senator. If, however, there is a failure of
agreement on the one candidate in both
err at which session there must be q majority
OF members elected TO each house, the mem
bers are viva yoce to declare their choice for
Senator. The candidate who receives a major
ity of such viva yOce votes is declared elected
The quotation from the law, ga person having
a majority of all the votes of the said Joint as
to both houses being present and voting" un-
doubleday means that a majority of all the
members elected to each house must be present
before an election can be had, that all such
members present must vote and that majority
OF the votes elects the Senator.

MOTION AND SUBSTITUTE-J. r. S., City. If in
an assembly member makes q motion, lit re-
ceives a second, is voted upon and is declared
carried, it stands, and that is the end of the
proceeding unless some one who voted with
the majority moved to reconsider it and it is
recOnsidered. After motion has been carried
q substitute for it is not in order and cannot be
entertained, as that is not according to paria-
mentary usage. When a motion is made, be-
fore vote is taken, amendment may be
offered; and If that is not satisfactory an
amendment may be offered to the amendment,
but no two amendments to an amendment
can be entertained. If the amendment to an
amendment is not satisfactory it must be voted
down and then new amendment offered. IT,
however, number of these amendments to
amendments are not satisfactory a member
may move substitute for the whole, provided
the subject OF 1t Is germane to the other. There
is no such thing recognized as a substitute for
a motion just previously offered and regularly
carried. chairman that rules that a So
called substitute takes the place of an unre-
considered motion would do well to read up
some OF the many books on parliamentary law.
motion TO declare the previous motion illegal
would certainly be ruled out of order by any
presiding officer who knows anything about
parliamentary rulings.
