Lodge proceeded saying he would be comparatively brief
 Il realize, said he, "that in this system of permanent sessions some must watch and some must stop, and | would not have the heart to disturb any ones sleep. I particularly regret that the presidents secretary is not here at this moment, as he was all last evening and again this morn ing.
 Takes Shot at Tumulty.
 q think that since congress has been converted into a registry office we ought to have with us the personal representative of the president Of course, it is too much to expect that the president should be in attendance himself and, therefore, while the watchful waiter keeps his eyes fixed upon the red panorama in Mexico. it is well that his secretary is here to see that none of the lambs stray from the fold"
 While Senator Lodge was speaking, a party of movers brought bed to the capitol and set it up in the com mittee room of Senator Lie James. which is handy to one of the senate doors The Kentucky senator said he was ready to camp there indefinitely.
 Finishes Eleventh Hour.
 At 9 o'clock Senator Shoot had fin ished his eleventh hour of continuous speaking and was declining offers of republican arrivals for a rest. His col leagues, Senator Sutherland, entered the chamber armed with twelve heavy tonnes from the congressional library, from which he was prepared to make long legal argument which would require much reading from decisions.
 Between sentences Senator Shoot took a breakfast of milk brought by colleagues from the senate cafe. and said he was not yet tired of speaking.
 Sen. Hollis Presides
 In the vice presidents chair sat Senator Hollis watching for the op- portunity to drop the gavel and order the hard fought for roll call, but down in the seats of the chamber new re- publican sentinels began arriving. fresh and keen from a night of sleep: their dropping eyed colleagues began retiring, the full dress suits began to disappear and at the same time fresh forces of demo came on to re- place those who had kept the battle going through the night.
 Thus the contest became again one between men fresh in mind and body. Senator LaFollette who holds a long distance taking record of eighteen hours and twenty minutes was an early arrival. Senator Oliver, acting as the republican whip, declared he had two weeks continuous talking material within call.
 Things began to freshen up on the floor and the galleries as the contest took on new vigor with the beginning of a new day.
 Yields to Sutherland.
 At 9:25 Senator Smoot yielded to Senator Suth erland after having spok- en continuously for eleven hours and thirty five minutes. Senator suther- and at once plunged into a speech 1 that promised to continue all day, if necessary.
