gan sounded In the Senate yesterday
morning at the commencement Of the
second days session. The Republic
can members Of the upper house an
nouneed themselves as cut for
speedy termination of the extra ses-
sion. There was also an attempt
made to reduce the salaries OF sew
erai Of the ofhcials from the inter
prefer down TO the janftor. The mat
ter produced considerable whipsaw-
ing back and forth between both par
ties. The old time party vote, how

sible. and maintain that II both houses
settle down TO a genuine business

ated within two weeks AZ the longest.
