THE YEAS AND NAYS.
senate Agrees TO the Dawes Clause In
the indian BM-curtIs' Indian BHI
May Pass the House Today.

was adopted Dy the senate today by
a majority of seven. As the report I
has been accepted by the house, this
ends the question for the session rs far /
as this provision to be added to tke
general bill is concerned.
Before the senate convened today,
Mr.. Petigrew presented Senators
Hale and Allison with a statement
which he had proposed, showing
legislation injected into general bills
in conference, and which the two
senators had themselves injected
into general bills. This statement
was prepared by way OF convincing
these two senators that they had
been guilty of this sort OF things to
very large degree, and now in this
matter they were obiecting to il for
the reason, as given, that they did
not want to accept legislation
fashioned by conferrees. The state
ment thus presented had the effect
of convincing the two senators that
after all this thing of injecting legis-
lation into general bills is not new,
and, after all, they themselves have
been very largely guilty, as all know,
but the exact record of the matter
was necessary befor they could be
convinced to such an extent that
they won d discontinue opposition.
The showing of this statement had
the effect of bringing q vote.
When Chairman Pettigrew called
up the report, Senator Aldrich ex-
pressed the hope that a vote could
be taken, for enough time had been
spent on it, Senators Chandler and
Mills called for the yeas and nays.
Sentor Pasco inquired, ''what
about the point of order on this
case? 1t has not yet been decided. +"
The presiding ofIicer-"The present
occupant of the chair is not advised
of any point of order.'
Senator Aldrich called for the re-
gular order and the clerk proceeded
to call the roll. Those voting to
sustain the conference report are as
follows: Berry, Carter, Clark,
Cockrell, Davis, Dubois, ,Hansbrough,
Jones, of Arkansas; Jones, of

Vice President Stevenson made il
convenient not to be in the. chair,
and thus avoided the second point OF
order made, the last by Mr.. George
on Tuesday, which was not with
drawn. Mr.. Stevenson appears to
have had enough OF the point Of or
der business on the Indian Territory
matter.
It is noticed that Senator PETER
voted against the report and thus
favored the Indian lobby, despite the
fact that he made very touching
speech, after the Coffeyville raid two
years ago, against the lobby and the
gang in the Indian Territory. In
this case the senator does not appear
as holding in the direction he talked
but is protecting existing con nditions
in that eountry which he so warmly
denounced at one time. Senator
Baker OF Kansas was not paired and
not being here of course did not vote
The two senators from Missouri were
on hand and both voted against the
lobby. and the gang operating in the
Indian country.
Chairman Pettigrew stated to the
Journal correspondent today that
just as soon as the house passed the
Curtis bin he will take it up and re.
port it to the senate and place il un-
der consideration. The Curtis bill Is
now unfinished business under sus-
pension of the rules and will likely
be put through the house tomorrow.
Mr.. Pettigrew says that he will take
the bill up next session and place II
under consideration. BY that time
amendments can be suggested tc
meet the advance made in the woI
by the commission under the provis
