BLOCK VOTE
 IN SENATE
SENATOR CRAWFORD sToPs THE VOTE ON THE LoRiMER CASE
 WITH SPEECH.
Bailey Up In Arms and Says Any Att tempt at Filibuster Will be Met With Like Tactics Against Ap-
 propriations.

Washington, Feb 25.--So anxious are the senators snppor.ins Senator Lorimer for vote to oe taken on his case in the senate that late today, Senator Bailey threatened to Lleet any filibuster that might be made against such vote with another filibuter of his own against appropriation bills. He wanted an agreement reached upon date for vote. saying that unless the senate should agree he would insist upon a vote even If every appropriation bill should fail.
 The Texas senators statement was made in connection with general discussion growing out of Senator Burrows effort to prevail upon the senate to proceed with the considera tion of the Lorimer matter. It was after 330 o'clock when Senator Mo- Cumber concluded his address on re ciprocity and an hour and a half re- mained before eulogies on the late Representatives Lowering and Tirre!i could be proceeded with. The Lorimer resolution was laid before the senate but no one was prepared to speak on it. Senators Stone, Crawford and Owen. all of whom desire to be heard, pleaded for postponement< Mir. Bur. rows insisted that there must be either vote or speech.
 No one responding. the vice presi- dent proceeded to declare vote. The ayes had been sounded and the noes called for when there were signs of much disturbance on the part of numerous senators.
 MT. Crawford shouted:
 q object" When reminded that an objection could not prevent vote, 1e announced that he was ready to pro- ceed with a speech notwithstanding he was i'll. He said that he did not want to be whipped into service"
 Senator Stone moved to adjourn. but the motion was voted down.
 Yielding to the pleadings of the un- prepared speakers. Mir. Burrows moved to lay the resolution aside. Mir. Bailey Vas not pleased with the sus- gestion. Declaring as there could not be before the senate any matter of higher importance than that involving the seat of a senator he said con gress should settle the matter before final adjournment. He said there was an evident purpose to filibuster against one. though he did not believe there was any purpose to prevent vote.
 But" he added, unless We can have some agreement to vote, am going to ask for vote if every ap- propriation bill falls. This matter is of greater importance taan the appro- priations.'
 Proceeding, he said earnestly:
 q am not so sure that an extraor- dinary session of congress would be public calamity
 Evidently referring to the November leection and to the prospect Of tariff Legislation he asserted the people of the country had ordered congress to do certain things and if necessary to do those things, he would not ob- ject to coming back to Washington.
 After further exchange of remarka Mir. Burrows decided not to press Mir Crawford to proceed and the ques- | tim went oyer
