At $50 Senator Reishus moved that
further proceedings under the call of
the senate be suspended Senator
Stockton seconded the motion.
Senator Allen asked that the senators
from the committee rooms be called in.
Senator Barr said that it had been
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 q 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: 1.-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: 81 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, L
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 d
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 81
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 raiIro 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.

! Senator Yale'sN speech Senator Allen
moved a call of the senate. Several

proposed to insist that the power o.
| the senate be exhausted to bring al
senators into the chamber. Senators
Stevens and Morgan abiding to the
charge having been made in the senate
that this was a political measure, sale
they would favor the proposition ad
