SENATE

The Senate was called TO order
promptly at 10 o'clock. but as there
was not quorum present the chair
was vacated for ten minutes. At the
end of this time a sufficient number
of Senators had arrived and business
was taken up There We're no commit
tee reports. and very few communica-
lions were received from the House.
Only five minutes passed before the
calendar was reached.
The first bill called up was the meas
lire making an appropriation for the
erection of a monument on the battle
ground of Gettysburg to commemorate
the services of Nirginians on that
great field. Senator Halsey, patron
of the bill briefly addressed the SEN
ate. paving beautiful tribnte to the
Confederate soldiers. The bill was
unanimously passed.
Senator Hobbs asked for the con-
sheraton of his bill prohibiting the
sale of sulphur matches. Senator Las

sition later. and the bill was called
up Senator Hobbs addressed the

caused by sulphur matches and called
