L he result was yeas II, nays 90.
Cook then moved 10 lay the
amendment and substitute on the
liable. There was quite a gathers
ing around Cook, Speaker Hile-
man being conspicuous and whis-
pering to Cook. The opponents,
seeing they were defeated, be-
gan dilatory tactics, and kept up
their filioustering methods until
one minute after IL o'clock. First
} a motion would be made to ad-
journ. Being voted down by the
, two third majority, another mos
Ition would be made to reconsid.
er the vote. This procedure,
1 which started about 3 o'clock.
was kept up until this Sunday
MOI ming, The opponents of the
lease had the chair, and though
two thirds Of the members were
ready and anxious to adopt the
Senate substitute, they were giv-
en- no recognition Hileman was
not in the chair, and Sutton, of
Cum berland, Cook, Of Warren
and Lusk, of Buncombe ,alternat.-
ed in presiding. No friends of the
lease were given the privilege of
the floor, and only five trusted
mem hers representing the Gov
ernor were allowed to make a
motion. They were the two Sut-
tons, Cook. Hancock and Schul>
ken. Ole would move to adjourn
and another to reconsi1 der. At
periods the Speaker would sit in
the chair for half an hour deaf to
all appeals and members, finally,
exhausting themselves in efforts
10 be recognized, would fail in
their seats. The presiding officer
read newspaper and carried on
conversation with persons be-
hinda a curtain that is Immediately
back of the Speakers chair.
Cunningham, McCrary, Blacks
burn, Dockery and all those who
favored the lease plead for re-
coguition in order to make a mo-
tion to adopt the Senate substit>
ute. Tue Speaker invariably
ruled them out of order or paid
no attention to their demands.
Cook and his quintette had the
privilege of the floor at all times
Five men manipulated the pros
ceedings of the House against
the will of the majority. The
j.. disorder was as great as on yes
terday, and little attempt was
made to restore quiet. Such re-
volutionary and tyrannical pros
ceedings were against all par
liamentary practice and unheard
: of before. The policy of 6libus.
tering was pursued at the dicta-
ton of Governor Russell and his
, advisors. Capt. Day and others.
AS the hands of the clock
showed that it was nearly 10, the
majority, who had held out all
night against adjournment,
agreed to take a recess until
Monday rather than be in ses-
sion on Sunday At 1901 mo-
tion prevailed to adjourn.
It's evident that Russell and
he opponents of the lease intend
to continue their filibustering
methods next week. All imports
ant measures have passed the
House. The machinery act is
before the Senate and there is
talk of holding that up until the
various speaker in the House
agree to let the majority rule.
There was strong talk Of inns
parchment of Hileman tonight.
