 The bill was then laid before the senate and read.
 MT. Jones of Arkansas asked for some hour to be agreed upon when the vote should be taken on the passage of the bill. Several senators suggested that 1t be taken immediately.
 MT. Frye indicated l o'clock tomorrow as the time for taking the vote. MT. Jones agreed, but an objection was heard, and he suggested o'clock tomorrow.
 The vice. president-Is there opposition to that proposition2
 Mir. Viias-I object.
 MT. Buter-Then let us have vote this evening.
 MT. George-Let us have vote before we adjourn if we have to stay up all night.
 MT. Hale-Senators must see that 1t is impossible to get vote tonight.
 MT. Jones-I recognize that fact, and will now move that the senate adjourn. Tomorrow will ask the senate to remain in session until the final vote is taken on the bill and amendments.
 A general chorus of senator's: ''That is right.
 MT. Jones therefore made the motion, and the senate at 6:30 p. m. adjourned until tomorrow at noon.
