Little Rock, Feb. 24.-The greater portion of the Tuesday afternoon ses- slon of the Senate was consumed like the morning session in clearing path to the Sawyer Hot Springs fair ccn- mission bill, in order that it may be brought from the calendar, where it rests ready for third reading when a way can be discovered to suspend the rules and reach it, or it can be brought up on regular order. The adv locates of the bill eased a little closer to their goal, taking several bites from their left over cherry in order to ac- complish their aims.
 The first move toward this end came after Senators Toler and Bush had consumed an hour in fulfilling the l Itillibuster started in the morning to delay all special order bills until 3 Tn the afternoon, moved by the friends of the Sawyer bill Senator Going gave notice that he would on Thurs day morning move to amend the rules so that no Senator could speak twice on any subject, only two members could debate each side of a subject and none of the talks be over 10 mia uteS, unless the Senate unanimously agreed. This was followed by mo- | tice ffom Senator Collins that he would on Thursday afternoon under take to amend the rules so that a ajority of the Senate would control doing away with the two thirds vote required to suspend the rules.
 House bill 271, by MT. Condray, then became the goat for the adher- ents of the Sawyer bill, motion be- ing offered by Senator Edmondson, when it was read third time, to de- fer further action upon it until II o'clock Tuesday night. Senator Toler moved to table this motion, losing on tie vote l5-15 Senators Moore then amended the Edmondson motion to postpone the bill until Friday morn ing at 1 o'clock and this was adopt ed.
 Temporarily abandoning the plan to block legislation until the Sawyer bill was brought up the Senate passed the Buchanan bill providing steno- grapher for the Tenth Judicial dis trict, the Collier bill giving Prairie Grove portion of the road taxes col lected there also the Jones of Pulaski bill appropriating a sum to care for the deficiency in judicial salaries in the Thirty-frst district; and the Pope bill for the Little Running Water Drainage district in Randolph county. House amendments to the Harris, Monroe couty road district bill were concurred in.
 Further consideration on the Rob ertson bill to repeal the Child Labor act. so far as it concerned certain DOT tions of the state, was deferred on motion of Senator Calvert until Tues udl HlOI IlIlS.
 Then the Senate went back to the old fight to keep the Sawyer bill down Senator Edmondson, after President Lundy had announced that special orders had been disposed of, and that regular order was House bills on first and second reading. Before this could be entered into, Senator Edmondson moved that such action be deferred until Friday morning. Senator Lun- dv declared that it would take a sus pension of the rules to adopt the mo- tion, and stated that he had already advised the Senate of the condition it found itself in for it is now ditficult to get to House bills on third reading. The Edmondson motion was voted down IS to 15.
 A resolution by Senator Ashley, calling for night sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays to consider House busi- ness. was amended to read local House bills and for the introduction of local Senate bills"
 The Senate then accepted an invita- tion from the colored students of the branch Normal of the Pine Bluff, to q chicken dinner in the basement, and
