up Dy Luo SENATE yesterday dIIeE UH-
ing prosecuted by him all last night.
Filibustering continued today. Sena-
tor Stone (Dem.) of Missouri, Sena-
tor Gore (Dem.) Of Oklahoma and
LaFollette broke the record as long
distance speaker. Stone held the
floor for six hours and half almost
without interruption. Gore spoke a
little over two hours.
1t looked for time as though the
filibusterers might be able to continue
their tactics well into if not through
the night During the afternoon con-
sternation was created in the Senate
by a report that Senator Jefferson
Davis was on his way to Washington
! and would be prepared to assist the
| filibusterers with two-days speech,
provided the objectors could hold out
until Monday morning. There was /
general relief at 1880 p. m. among
the many senators who had been in
| their seats almost continuously since
II o'clock Friday, when suggestion
for a recess was received by the Re-
publican leaders from the Democratic
side.
The fact soon developed after the
recess was entered upon, that party
friends of Stone had been consulting
| among themselves and reached the
conclusion that if given an opportul-
ity they could dissuade him from
further persistence in his course of
obstruction and when, after recon-
vening at 2 O'Clock, he retired from
the floor, it appeared as If he had
been induced to permanently surren-
der. He was followed by Gore, the
blind Senator from Oklahoma. That
gentleman proceeded about two hou!s
when Stone returned to the chamber
and created dismay by stating that he
had determined to resume his ad-
dress as soon as Gore concluded,
Stone, however, afforded the Repub-
licans their anxiously sought oppor-
tunity when he again retired from the
chamber a few minutes before Gore
finished speaking. He was absent
when the auspicious moment arrived
The end of the filibuster came with
.suddenness almost startling. II
was generally understood that Ston>
would attempt to resume his speech
and that LaFollette would make a
: determined fight to retain the floor
AS Gore resumed his seat, Vice Presi
dent Fairbanks promptly stated thai
the question was on the adoption Of
