TO which of the resolutions passed the
senate, as all of them agreed upon the
main questionable defeat of the Reilly
funding bill. Delay was fatal and he was
opposed to any further postponement.
Senator Pedlar advocated the immedi-
ate disposal OF the resolution and! its
adoption.
McAllister suggested that one of the
resolutions at least-that by Bicycle
lated to the defeat of the bill only, with
out further provisios and that it might be
passed with clear conscience.
Senator Smith would favor no such ar
rangement. He wanted the resolution
to specify how the people of the coast
stood upon the proposition and TO state
the provisions they proposed to make of
the railroad in question. once it became
the property of the Government.
The clock at the west end Of the cham

The acting President pro tenn. was
about to declare a recess when Mathews
called attention to the fact that the clock

THE FUNDING BILL.
The special order was taken up, relat-
ing to McGowan's motion to postpone
further consideration of the resolution
relating to the Reilly funding bill until
O'clock next Tuesday.
Senator Orr got the floor and said he
was willing to extend the time for con-
sIderation until Tuesday next in order to
allow members to examine the resOlu-
tIons and the substitute if they so de-
sired. The bill had not yet been reported
from the Congressional Committee to
Congress, and he did not see how harm
could come by deterring consideration.
He favored McGowan's substitute. and
thought that a well-digested resolution
should be transmitted to Congress instead
OF hastily composed crudity.
Senator Mathews said the Senate could
not defer action until Tuesday next with
the certainty that Congress would not act
Ill the meantime. lie figured that action
on the measure could not he reached in
the Senate before noon on Tuesday, if il
was deferred until that time; that RELAYS
of a telegram to W aShington would con
sumo one hour; that the difference in
time between San Francisco and Wash
ington was three hours, and that the ac-
Washington until t o'clock P. NJ. Tues
day, when 1t might be too late.
SENATOR HART SPEAKS,
Senator Hart said that while no doubt
existed as to the sentiment OF the people
regarding the action to be taken on the
funding bill, he did not believe in undue
haste. Our representatives IN Congress-
were as familiar with the wishes of the
people as were the members OF this BODY.
and no petition from this Legislature
could strengthen them in their efforts to
defeat the measure. Petitions, he under
stood, had been forwarded to Washing
ton, and were doubtless now before the
proper committee. IN the face of these
facts. ne saw no good reason for hastv ac-
ton, and favored an extension of time
tor further consideration.
At this point IN the debate Senator
Earl, Chairman of the Committee on
State Library and Rules, asked that the
consideration of the rules reported back
by the committee, and which had been
made a special order for that hour. go
over until tuesday morning. 1t was so
ordered.
Senator McAllister then got the floor
and said there was only one thing to do
and that was TO take UP the resolution
adopted by the Assembly and pass the
same II 1t was proposed to make an au-
peal to Congress at all. Ii the matter was
put off until Tuesday next, and either
Biggy's resolution or McGOwan's gu bsti-
tute was adopted by the Senate. the err
tire matter would have to be rereferred
to the Assembly, and action on the mat
ter would probably not be reached before
the last Of next week.
senator Aram said The resolution was 4
nou-partlsan measure, and was demanded
by ali parties III the State. He tboupitt
the people OF the East should not be told
how we stand-they already know that
but what we want. For that reason he
favored McGOWan's substitute and the
posJponemeut OF further action until
Tuesday next.
McGowan demanded a roll-cau on his
amendment TO defer action until Tuesday
next.
VOORHEES, rose TO point of order, that.
under the rules, when a question OF time
was considered the first action should ba
upon the shortest period.
The Acting President pro tenn. ruIed
the point well taken. and the roll was
called upon the motion TO consider the
matter AT once. The motion was lost by a
vote OF 81 TO i.
