Order out Of chaos was brought It
3:06 this morning. when the senate. af-
ter listening TO many hours Of filibus-
tering. reached an agreement on the
permanent tariff board bill. providing
for q vote tomorrow. T. was like
snatching q brand from the burning.
when friends Of the measure had ac-
complished that result. What had been
supposed to be tho death knell for the
bill had been sounded several haKs
before. Tho senate at o'clock a. m.
adjourned until 10 o'clock today.
FiIibustsrs 0utpsnsraIed.
Unfamiliarity with the rules Of the
senate on the part Of men who were
engineering the obstructive tactics. was
responsible for the crumbling Of the op-
position. Senator Stone. confident Of
his ability to hold the floor for the
night, had permitted the coterie Of long
distance takers. who were to spoil him.
to go to their homes. Learning Of that
fact Senator Beveridge invoked rule
10. to take Senator Stone from the
floor. Under this rule no senator shall
speak moro than twice upon any one
subject in debate on the same day with
out leave Of the senate"
Stones Talk Shut OF.
Senator Stone had spoken early in
the day on the tariff board bill and
also on the floor last night. Vice Presi-
dent Sherman was inclined not to pro-
woke q controversy, and at once asked
Mr.. Stone II he had spoken twice,
thereupon Mr.. Sherman called upon the
Official stenoEraphers and their notes
verified Mr.. Beveridse. Mr.. Sherman
sustained the point Of order. which de-
prived Mr.. Stone Of the floor.
It was just o'clock when Mr.. Stone
was compelled to take h.s seat. sena-
tor Overman essayed to I'LL his shoes
but was not equipped for q long speech
and an hour later the agreement was
made to set time for q vote.
Tho postonice appropriation bill.
which was considered early In the ev-
ening, was not finished.
