before the Senate his bill prohibiting the

ton to proceed to its considerations
Immediately Senators Flu and Chandler
commenced series of obstructive meas
ures by which they were successful fr,e
preventing a vote on MFR. Buffers mo-
tion. The strength of It's support, how
ever. was indicatd by the vote on Mp
Chandler's motion to proceed to the con.
sideration OF executive business: wiiiclt:
was yeas 12i nays "a, and all subsequent.
votes preserved that relation. During
the filibustering proceedings Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Allen. Pop) Of Nebraska inter
changed remarks not entirely consistent
with senatorial courtesy The obstruoss
tive tactics prevailed to the extent OF
forcing an adjournment without a vote
on Mr.. Butler's motion to take up the
bilIIwhich he is to renew tomorrow.
The Senate at 8;25 p, m. adjourhed rn-;
I'll tomorrow. 5 < s$
