VIRULENT CRITICISM
Although tho result was a foregone

rows. OF the Finance Committee Messrs.
CaTery Morgan. and Stewart occupied
the time up to 3 o'clock when the vote
was promptly taken.
Then came a long parliamentary bat
tle over final adjournment. The oppo-
stion endeavored 10 score a point by
compelling a vote on laying tine Presi-
dents message before the Senate and,
succeeding In this attacked tho majority
for refusing to act on the Presidents
recommendation. The main desire of those
opposing adjournment was TO secure a
vote on tho Harris resolution calling on
tho President 10 stop tho sale Of the gov
ornmenrs interest in the Union Pacific
railroad
For four hours an acrimonious parlia- |
rontary contest was waged Gradually |

Morgan withdrew further opposition. and |
the resolution for final adjournment was
passed. Complimentary resolutions TO |
Vce-President Hobart were adopted. and |

t.ol.
