FORAKER MAKES NO REPLY.
The senator-elcct from Ohio, chairman Of

not to reply to the speech OF the senator

not debatable, had the effect of calling off
further debate. and Senator Teller demanded
a roll call of the states. his demand was
quickly supported by Mantle on behalf of
Montana and Delegate Cleveland of Nevada.
The first state, Alabama, voted 10 to Z In
