Held Brief Session.

For the first time since his election President Martin presided over the Senate Friday, the body convening at 9:3O o'clock and adjourning at 10:30 o'clock until Monday morning at 9:90 o'clock. The principal business of the session was the consideration of the newspaper and stamp bill. The vote was F to for the bill.
 President Martin, apparently con trary to the expectation of the Sen- ate, declared the bill lost. He held the bill to be an appropriation bill. and that therefore a two-thirds ma jority, or 24 members, would have to vote for the bill.

 Having learned that his resolution providing for a joint committee on levees and drains had been defeated in the House, Senator Robertson of Lee introduced Concurrent Resolu- ton No. 5, providing for a special Senate committee on levees.
