stenographer he asked him to read Mr..
Achi's statement from his notes. This
was done.
Senator White jumped to his feet and
was recognized by the chair, who was
evidently glad of an opportunity to end
an argument which might result in de-
priving him of his chief aid and ad-

OF Achi was called for and again the
Independents remained solid and de-
feated the motion.
G. Brown moved to proceed with rules
and the motion carried He suggested
that owing to the unanimous agreement
of the rules committee rules ! to 49,
inclusive, be acted upon at the same
time, but an amendment was proposed
that they be taken up singly. and same
was carried
The balance of the morning session
was spent in discussing the first six
rules and the Senate adjourned until
afternoon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The reading of the rules was again
resumed when the Senate convened at
1870 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
1t was proposed as an amendment to
rule No. IL to give the president of the
Senate the right to vote on all ques
tons. but this was bitterly opposed by
the Republican Senators G. Brown and
Carter who argued that such proceed
ure would be without precedence.
The fight was taken up by several
Senators of the Independent party who,
even though one of their party had
been honored with the position of presi-
dent, did not think he should be depriv-
ed of his vote. Able to carry every
thing their way whenever occasion ne
cessitated, the Independents wished to
make assurance doubly sure by secur-
ing one more vote to their overwhelm
Ing majority.
The rule causing the trouble reads as
follows:
ITO decide all questions wherein the
vote taken shall result in tie, but
otherwise he shall not vote except on
matters where the decision is reached
by ballot"
C. Brown moved to amend the mo-
tion by adding to the end of section |
No. II the following words: "Or upon |
the final passage of a bill" Carter /.
rose to second the motion, which after
more argument on both sides was !
placed before the Senate and carried.
Cecil Brown attempted to put a stop |
o the useless discussion ensuing after
he reading of each section of the rules
~ declaring that such work would oc-
'upy the attention Of the Senate until
he end of the month and ended
spirited speech by saying. TT Is all
Josh and must be stopped
assistant secretary. would be overlook
ID in the duties prescribed for the Off
'ers of the Senate, and therefore would
lave but little claim to a salary, Sem
ttor White desired that some of the
luties properly belonging to the secre-
airy be apportioned to Coney This
vas warmly contested by c. Brown and
Baldwin. who were of the opinion that
he assistant secretary should work un-
Ter the secretary and assist him in his
work when necessary.
G. Brown as chairman of the com
nittee thought that the only reason
Why every rule was being opposed by
he Independents was because Senator
White had carried the rules to eau
us of his party and they were not sat
SIZED He then suggested that new
committee be appointed to draft rules
nd stated that he did not wish 10 be n
member of the new committee.
Carter moved that the rules be re-
erred back to the committee, and upon
second from Achi the vote was TAX
n and as usual was lost by the vote
landing Independents s, and Repub-
cans A.
Disguised with the proceedings, Sem
tor Carter jumped 10 his feet and
lOyed 10 adjourn until 1880 p, M, and
hen the question was put the vote re-

ised his right 10 vote and as usual
