was Just bafore , o o'clock when the question,
shall the bill PAST was pat. but three
hours elapsed before the final vote. The
interim vas taken up with or plantations by
senators a. to why they would or would
not vote for the measure. The bill got
many hard raps In the course Of this expor.
ence meeting, and II was apparent that
nobody In the Senate was satisfied with Il.
The name u Senator Aldrioh was the
first on the roll call. Mr.. Aldrich had gone
out Of town and some people believed, or
professed to believe. that he had absented
himself purposely to escape voting for the
bill. But Senator Teller arose when Mr.. AL
drich's name was called and explained
that he was authorized by the Rhode Island
Senator to say that were he present he would
vote In the affirmative. This caused . litter
in the galleries.
When the name Of senator Dubois was
reached, Senator Long produced a note
| from Mr.. Dubois, who Is i'll, saying hat
he was in favor Of the Long narrow court
review amendment and opposed to the
Allison court amendment which was put
in the bill, but IL he had been able to attend
the session be would have voted for the
measure.
There was n steady chorus Of "ayes'
| until Mr.. Foraker's name was reached.
He voted mo" in a voice that could be dis
tinctly heard all over the chamber. The
second no" was Mr.. Morgan's, and there
was another litter when the venerable Mr..
Pettus, who usually stands Guide to
shoulder in legislative matters with his col.
league, echoed Mr.. Morgan's negative.
No answer came when Senator Depew's
name was called and nobody arose to make
any announcement for him. Senator Plat
was not in the Senate when his turn came,
but Senator Kean explained that Mr.. Platt
intended to vote for the bill but had been
called away.
There was much explanation of this sort.
In behalf of Senator Burrows, who went
to New York to attend the wedding of his
grandson, it was told that if he were present
he would vote aye" Similar explanations
were made for Senators Gamble, Hepburn,
Kittredge, Money. Patterson, Proctor,
Sutherland and Warren. Senator Burton,
who IL under sentence for a criminal act,
was not present. of course. No explanation
was made as TO how Senator German. who
is very i'll, would vote
1t had been reported around the Senate
to-day that Senator La Toilette, who since
he came here has justified his reputation
for radicaIiSrn, would vote against the bill
because it did not 60 far enough, Some
things he said in the closing debate seemed
TO verify this report. When the clerk called
Mr.. la Follette's name he was not in his
seat. Then people began to whisper hat
he was too Disguised to stay. But they
were mistaken. On the second roll call as
it il called, Mr., La Toilette appeared and,
with the eyes of everybody upon him, voted
"aye."
Mr.. Tillman, too, furnished a little in-
terest. The pitcnfork Senator has come
into much prominence through the fact
| that he had charge Of the bill in behalf OF
| the Interstate Commerce Commission. He
has denied the paternity of this foster legis-
lative child of his, and frequently expressed
Dissatisfaction with the terms OF the measure.
When his name was called on the first roll
he sat scowling at his desk. The clerk
hesitated, awaiting u response from Mr..
Tillman, but he kept his mouth tightly closed
! But when the names Of those who had not
been recorded the first time were called
Mr.. Tillman gave vent to a reluctant aye
