were batted in every direction. The Brooklyn pats
men could do nothing with the curves OF PINK
Hawley except in the first and sixth innings
Keller and Farrell did the best batting for Broos.
Ivn The general fielding wcrk on both sides was
good The all around work OF Corcoran. McBr'dc'

for this position.
Senator Keith suggested that the posi-
ton of assistant bill clerk had been over
looked. He thought such clerk should
be selected, as one was quite necessary.
Senator Hamilton announced his willing
ness TO support such motion when
clerk was really needed. For the present.
however. he would oppose the appoint

On motion OF Land, Judge McGsilvra was
granted permission TO address the sem
ate. Inasmuch as ii has been announced
that Judge McGilvra has I'D senatorial
lightning rod there was some quiZzical
expressions on the faces OF several sena-
tors who are prominent in state politics.
Judge McGilvra, stepping inside the cir
Gle. referred In forensic style OF oratory
to the death OF Congressman Dingley and,
at the conclusion; OF his statement, asked
for the consideration OF the following:
Whereas, There is a vacancy in the
commission OF the United States, on the
United States and British high joint COM
mission, for the adjustment OF Canadian

AS Judge McGiivra settled hack into
Senator Crows seat, Senator Preston sug-
gested that 1t might be well to wait until
Dingiey was buried before proceeding To
about the circle, wlereupon Senator Scho-
field proposed that the resolutions be
made special order for tomorrow.
Senator Hamilton then asked, inasmuch
as the resolution had been presented by
n gentleman not a member, in what posi-
ton II came before the senate. There
was a moments hesitation during which
the communication. and finally Senator
Preston said he would stand back Of Nc
Gilvras resolution. That was acceptable
to Hamilton and on motion of Crow the
document was referred 10 the commit
tee on memorials.
The committee on securing rooms for
holding committee meetings reported that
