THE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S.
They KepS the Chamber in n Turmoil
Inst Might.

The sessio. of the Senate last night lasted
an hour and a half. and the only wonder
expressed by the spectators was that il
lasted as long as 1t did in view of the tactics
of some Of the Democratic senator's. That
it did not break up in a fight was remarka-
BILE. but that the trouble was precipitated
by the matter at issue, was a matter of
wonder to all.
House bill No. 604. allowing the publica-
ton of liquor license and legal notices in
weekly papers in all cities of the State at
the discretion of the interested parties, had
been called up for third reading. 1t was the
pet measure OF Senator Gwin and he wished
IL pushed through in order to secure action
by the Governor. Up to this point some
business had been transacted in spite of the
methods adopted by some of the Demo-
cratic senator's. Most of them tried to
speak at once and the result was practically
q suspension Of business.
Senator New offered an amendment TO the
bill providing that it should not apply to
indianapolis, for the reason that there were
published in this city weekly papers the ex-
istence Of which ths general public was not
even aware Of. ana by allowing parties TO
pi9ce advertisements In such papers no
sought TO be gained by such notices would
not be reached. This brought on n storm

which Senators Drummond. NuSbaum and
Gwin played the leading roles. Senator
Drumnond had repeatedly charged during
the evening that the Marion county dele
CATION had not kept faith with the hay
seed members, and at this point reiterated
mark that as all the indianapolis bills were
now passed the rest of the Senate was to be
gagged and the remaining bills smOthered.
Senator Gwin claimed that the amendment.
If adopted. would virtually kill the bill. in
asmuch as II would not be possible To get
TIE concurrence OF tho House In the amend
mentS before tonight. In spite of all the
Marion county delegation could do 10 ex-
plain its position the Democratic senators
kept the chamber in an uproar until several
Republican senator's moved 10 adjourn.
Senator then called for the aye
and no vote and Senator Hubbell became
involved In the difficulty through a well
meant effort TO quiet the turmoil. He arose
TO move To adjourn, but the Lieutenant Gov
error refused TO recognize him.. He APP
pealed from the chair and amid whoops and
EXPLANATIONS. the Democrats ranged them
selves TO his support. Enough votes were
counted 10 overrule the chair and then, for
vailed until Senator Newly again moved to
adjourn and the motion carried with the
bill still undispOsed of.
Early ia the evening Senator Gilbert
moved 70 suspend the regular order of bust
ness and hear committee reports and adj
vance bills on second reading. i'm order that
pending bills might be called up for third
reading to-day and passed over to the Gov
ernor before night. This suggestion proved.
