Turpie closed at 3 o'clock, having spo-
ken the better part of three days.
Morgan asked consent to an agree
ment for q final vote at pm tomorrow,
but Mr.. Turpie objected. Objection was
also made to an agreement for a vote
on Monday and Tuesday.
"Then, said Mr.. Morgan, decisively,
''my only alternative is to ask the senate
to sit out the bill"
This presented the unexpected pros
pect of test of endurance, with possible
long night sessions.
Morgan did not state when he would
ask the senate to ''sit out" the bill.
PETER OF Kansas, Populist, spoke
briefly in oposition to the bill.
Villas of Wisconsin. Democrat, urged
Morgan not to adopt any unusual course
to advance the bill to vote. There
should be no snap judgment.
Morgan, replying to Villas, said the
latter could name the day and hour for
vote any time next week.
Villas said this was no reason why the
opponents of the bill had been compelled
to name the day and hour for vote on
penalty of being denied the usual cour-
tesy of discussion
Hoar pointed out that the end of the
session was only six weeks off, many ap-
preparation bills were to be acted on, and
it was hardly reasonable for dozen
senators each to take day 10 oppose
the bill.
Villas said months had been given to
the tariff bill in the last congress
"That was not only a thousand bills
in one, but a thousand ills" responded
Mr. Hoar.
Hill recalled the length of time given
to the bill for the repeal of the Sher-
man law.
AT this point the matter was laid aside
temporarily as Chandler, rising to
privileged question, presented election
credentials stating that on January 20th
John Edward Addicks was elected
United States senator from Delaware to
fill the existing vacancy.
From what source did you get that?'
asked Mr.. Gray of Delaware, Democrat.
Frankly. / will say that it was hand
ed to me by Mr.. Addicks himself an
swereG Mr.. Chandler. who feels he is
entitled to be sworn in as the colleague
of the senator from Delaware (GraY).
Mr.. Chandler said that as he had al
ready introduced petition relative to
the seating of Mr.. Dupont in this va
cancy he would p,t ask for immediate
consideration of the credentials just
presented.
Returning to the Nicaragua canal bill,
Morgan asked the opposition to fix a
time for a vote, as a filibustering move,
and he would not consent to any delay.
Stewart of Nevada. Populist. favored
holding the senate in session until vote
was forced. and spoke of the military
and strategic Importance of the canal.
This brought on an amusing colloquy
between Stewart and Villas as TO the
result following the repeal of the Sher-
man act. Mr.. Morgan finally called for
the regular rider
IF then we are to be cut off from de-
bate" said NJ. Villas, Il will be obliged
to move that when the senate adjourns
it be until Monday next" This was
clearly move for time and opened
short parliamentary struggle
On a roll cTll the yeas were IS, noes &C.
six less then a quorum, and the senate
was at a stanGstill
"Undar the circumstances l will move
an adjournment" said MI Morgan re-
luctantly, and thereupon at APO the
senate adjourned,
