agreement on arm 6oard Bill.
Washington. d. c., March 3.-Order
out of chaos was brought at 3:05
o'clock this morning when the Senate,
after listening to many hours of fill
clustering, reached an agreement that
at $50 o'clock Saturday morning a
vote would be taken on the tariff
board bill.
The contest continued throughout
the night and at 4 o'clock the senate
adjourned until 10 without finishing
the naval appropriation bill, then un-
der consideration. An adjournment
was taken when the absence Of a quo
rum developed.
Shortly before o'clock this morn
ing stone rose to speak. Beveridge
made a point that Stone already had
spoken twice The point evidently
was sustained and stone was obliged
20 sit down. Overman easayed to fill
his shoes, but was not equipped for a
long speech and an hour later an
for a vote. At the request of several
senators the agreement included TAX
ing up the naval appropriation bill,
but after that had been considered for
little less than an hour, Stone forced
an adjournment on the point of no
quorum
Considerable bitterness was exhlb-
tied by the Democratic senators when
stone was taken from the floor. The
Missouri senator himself protested
loudly that the record OF his previous
speeches should be read so that the
senate might judge whether he had
exhausted his right under the rules
TO speak on the tariff board bill. The
vice president declined to read these
speeches and called Mr. Stone to or
der when he declared the ruling of
the senator to be arbitrary and unjust

the duty of the members to enact the
appropriation measures, and he de-
clared the Democrats would not be
justified in forcing the supply bills in
to extra session. He pointed out that
on two occasions, within the memory
of some OF the senators present that
the Democrats had enacted appropria-
tion bills to cover The expenses OF the
government for a period in which the
Republican administration was TO be

sponse to an assertion Of owen that
the appropriation bills should be turn
ed over to the new Democratic con-
grcss. Just as every one began TO be-
lieve the proposal was to be accepted.

to the fixing OF a time for a vote uu-
less the Senate proceeded Immediately
to a consideration Of the appropriation
bills. Immediately a group OF sena-
tors surrounded Hepburn and pleaded
with him to relent. Stone displayed
some anger because of the objection
and he. too, had to be pacihed. Car

priation bill. stone accepted and Hey
burn interposed no objection.
The naval bill took more time than
anticipated. and after nearly an hour
had been deoted to II, Stone protested
