brought up and precipitated a warm
debate. Some of the Senators stated
that all previous expeditions of this
kind had been mere pleasure trips, and
1t was urged that special committee
be sent instead of the entire House
Most of the day was spent in argu-
ing over the rules and when the after
noon session closed but little had been
accomplished. The hottest argument
Of the day started by proposed
amendment of Senate" Whites to one
Of the rules, I'm which the freedom Of
debate was denied the members of the
Senate. According TO his amendment
a Senator could speak but ten minutes
at any time on the same question. Car
ter warmly pronounced this as gag"
law and told how such n rule would be
sure to react upon It's maker.
1t was easy to see that the Senators
of the Independent ranks were afraid
of the elOquence OF the Republican
Senators, and II was with this idea that
the attempt was made to limit the time
of debate with four good speakers on
the Republican side and only two on
the Home Rulers', II was clear that
they feared the results of Republican
oratory when some important questions
should arise.
Nearly all of the Republicans ex-
pressed in glowing terms their objec-
tiOns to the rule, and White, fearful
that their eloquencc would carry the
day, jumped into the breach and saved
the Independents by moving to adjourn.
The question will be resumed this
morning.
Exactly on the minute President Rus
sci called the Senate to order yester-
day morning and during the prayer by
the chaplain four OF the six Repub-
lican Senators were absent. Carter and
Crabbe made their appearance immedi-
ately afterwards while Baldwin and g.
Brown arrived few moments later.
The part Of the minutes relating 10
the incident between President Russell
and Senator Achi was changed upon
suggestion from Senator Carter and the
exact words uttered by Achi were in
serted.
The actual business opened by an ar
gument between white and Carter,
each claiming their right TO the floor
at the same time. Carter appealed to
the chair, who commanded white to
take his seat.
The chair gave out that owing 10 the
fact that he had not been furnished
with any rules, he had therefore adopt
ed n set Of rules Of his own This was
vigorously contested by Carter, who de-,
MED the right OF the chair 10 act for
himself In any capacity
Carter moved that report of commit
toes be received and when put to
YGtc was lost,
White here introduced a resolution
10 the effect that the Senate proceed
