Toilette, after speaking is hours and %
minutes, breaking all records in the
senate, concluded his speech against
the compromise emergency currency
bill, apparently little the worse for the
terrific strain he had undergone.

ately took up the filibuster which is
the most remarkable fight of its kind
ever seen in Washington. 1t is be-
lieved the fflibuster will be continued
until the republican leaders sl.rrencer
and agree to adjourn without passing
the bill

seats all yesterday afternoon and all
through the weary hours OF the night
were in no condition to enjoy humor
today and Senator Stones manner
was like that of funeral orator.
Senator LaFollette's speech breaks
the record held since March 8 and 4
1901, by Senator Carter of Montana.
who was made famous by his fight
against the rivers and harbors bill
When LaFollette closed his remarks
his voice showed no indication of
weakening under the terrific strain. 1t
was clear and strong and he spoke with
the same vigOr that characterized his
remarks early yesterday. His recent
illness made him weak and the main
trouble was from standing so long. He
said his back ached and knees We're
sore. He spent some of the time in
a chair having explained mis- physical
condition at the beginning of his
speech, but as he talked he became in
terested and though he leaned on the
back of a chair the most of the time
was spent standing. His feet are
badly swollen he said, but all his trou-
bles were physical He went directly
to a barber shop where he jOkeG anc
