 | that the roll of states was called and votes l recorded on the motion to table Dr. Daven- l ports motion to print the resolutions and ] fix an hour for their consideration. The vote thus recorded resulted in the tabling | of the motion to print and fix time for consideration.
 Offered Specific Relief Mr. Conway of vicksburg 1ook the floor and spoke in behalf of the recommenda- | tions submitted by the Vicksburg delega- ton which offered specific relief. The Vfchs- burg delegation was unanimously in favor of national quarantine, and had had an able lawyer formulate a bill providing for broad and effective national quarantine. He wished to put Vicksburg on record. Major Dabney spoke in behalf of the adoption of the committee on resolutions report, as he thought that Its rejection would mean that nothing would be accom- plished by the conventin.
 pr. Maury arose and called the attention of the convention to the fact that the Ten nessee delegation had submitted resolutions which offered specific relief, and he urged their adoption.
 Ex-Governor Bullock of Georgia spoke in favor of the adoption of the report, and re- minded pr. Maury that a member of the Tennessee delegation Or. AlbrighD had concurred in the committees report The question was called for on the original mo- tion to adopt the report of the committee on resolutions
 motion to table the substitute offered by Mir. Heddleston prevailed and the vote on the original motion was called for. A delegate from Georgia suggested that although he was in favor of the adoption of the committees report, he thought that it was only fair to give time for considera- tion. He thought this would show far greater unanimity and therefore a more effective result of the convention's action The advocates of the report submitted de- manded to press the question, and Mir. Robbins took the floor to protest against such precipitate action. The evil dent intention to cut off debate caused no little irritation, especially as the chair ruled that further debate was out of order when the previous question had been called. This ruling was met by a refusal to be denied an expression of opinion, and cries from all parts of the house for and against the cutting off of debate made things lively.
 MT Conway finally secured hearing and
  which he believed was small, not to treat the minority as though they were pack of boys incapable of forming an intelligent opinion and not entitled to a hearing. He deprecated the adoption of this resolution by so small a majority as would carry no weight, with such action.
 Substitute for Everything
 Cries for the previous question were again made by the advocates of the report. Dr. Davenport asked the chair if 1t would be in order to offer a substitute motion for all other motions, but the chair ruled that this would not be in order.
 MT. Conway again appealed to thu house not to force action in this way.
 Dr. Davenport reminded the majority that a petty parliamentary victory would not be worth gaining and utterly barren of practical results. He appealed to the con- vention not to go upon record with nothing better than this.
 Judge Bryant of Arkansas, pointed out to the chairman, who felt constrained to rule all debate out of order, that motion to reconsider the call for the previous ques- tion was in order, and if carried would open debate. He offered this motion, which was quickly seconded.
 MT. Conway, of Vicksburg, spoke in it's behalf, as did MT. Collier, of Tennessee. Ex-Governor Bullock then took the floor, and stated that as a meriber of the com mttee on resolutions he certainly did not wish to suppress discussion of the commit tees report nor precipftate action upon the same. He thought it a grave mistake for the apparent majority to rush the report ! through in this matter, especially when the very considerable minority desired time for It's consideration. Certainly he hoped re- consideration would prevail.
 Ex-Governor Bullock's fair and dispas- sionate plea for less precipitate action car- ried great weight with his friends, and the motion to reconsider prevailed.
 o1e hn a md that as matters had gotten into such tan- gle, adjournment be taken until the after noon to give time to straighten out some affairs. His motion to adjourn was numer- ously seconded. delegate however, ask ed him to withdraw the motion long enough to allow time for the reading of the sub-rnotion which the Tennessee delegation had desired to present, and had not been allowed to do so before the consideration. The sub-motion was the one which Dr. Davenport had tried to present previously
 Convention Adjourns
 He announced that this motion was that "the Caffery bill, with the Catchngs amendment, be substituted for the report of the committee on resolutions" The con- vention then adjourned until the afternoon
 At D. m. the delegates were on their feet clamoring for recognition Many amendments to the original resolutions were offered. but were promptly voted down. The substitute offered by pr. Davenport, of Tennessee. was then voted upon and was rejected by the convention. After much discussion and parliamentary tangle the previous question was ordered and the resolutions as reported by the committee at the morning session were adopted by an overwhelming majority. The executive committee which had or | ganized, was instructed to proceed to Washington at the next session of congress and use it's best efforts to have law pro- mulgated on the lines of the resolutions of
