( CLOSED DEBATE
I Mr.. shackelford closed the debate In
an argument for the bill, in the course Of
which no answered some Of the ob5ec-
tons to- the measure pointed out and
denied having brought up the old fight
between the rival doctors and colleges.
He closed with strong plea for the bill
In the interest of humanity.
The pending question was then called
and ordered It being on the adop-
ton of the Sale amendment In the nature
OF substitute for the shackelford bill

the Shackelforda bill present the Sale bill
was adopted instead by vote OF seven

The bill was then passed by and will
come lip on its passage In a few days.
It will require six more votes than
recorded for its engrossment In order to
pass tho bill. There were thirteen abb
sentees, and 1t may be that this number
can be gotten from these thirteen. The
impression Is strong, however, that the
bill will fail OF passage.
The Senate at s:l5 P. NJ. adjourned af-
ter the longest session OF the year.
