Every r known to the skillful parliamentarian_was calicd into play, but without avail. Kvery move in the senate “during the twenty-four hours preceding th defeat of the bill was made solcly with refer. ence to assisting the bill. When bills on third reading were before the senate last night it was the sole intention of the anti-Rosewuterites to keep the body in ses- “sion s the measure before the sena tors w wed to disperse. When the bill was reached, its promoters were fearful #that they could not muster suflicient votes and a s taken. This morning else was lost sight of in the attempt to s cure the necessary seventeen votes to pass the measure. The bill was placed on its 1 sage. but o single roll call did not satisfy The roll was called over repeatedly and the announcement of the vote was delayed fully a quarter of an hour in order that the proselyting might continue in the hope that the lacking votes might somewhere or somechow be found. The final an nouncement of the result, made knoxn the fact that three months of per. sistent effort and innumerable columns of Journalistic gush and slobber over supposedly susceptible scnators, had been recklessly thrown away. The pill was a bitter one, but it had to go down. The nausea it cr ated in the internal economy of the few who sought revenge and found it not, finds re- lief tonight in the hearty and wholesale abuse of such senators as were counted on to lend themselyes to the scheme, but failed to stand up and be counted to gratify personal spleen, Every h Commences Monday. The impeackment cases are_set for trial before the supreme court on Monday, but it is understood that the dofendants will simply be arraigned at the present time and rules adopted for the government of the trial, and that the defendants will then be given time in which to prepare for trial. Tt is mot believed that the trial proper will begin for several days.

Upon reconvening McKesson moved that the hands of the clock be turned back one hour, but the lieutenant governor did not entertain it, as Watson said the legislature was in session and would remain so until it ¢adjourned, notwithstanding the hour for ad- + journment had arrived. and he declared t! this clock jugglery was all moonshine. Porter insisted that inasmuch as it was 13 until it was 1there was ample time to ftransact all business. Healso raised the point of order that the joint convention had no jurisdiction over the house clock, but no ruling w made by the chair, and the roll call followed, showing the presence of ninety-four members Pope submitted the committee report pre- senting articles of impeachment against William Leese. The evidence was filed with * the report. Howe demanded that some of it be read _ and the clerk was ordered to read the testi- mony of ex-Auditor Benton relative to the < yegistration of the NuckoMs county court house bonds.

The long delay in the adjournment was sioned by the difficulty experienced by wo houses in agreeing upon the amend- ments to the three large appropriation bills, Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon the senate steadfastty refused to recede from its amend- ments, The conference committee held re peated sessions and was able to agree upon | everything except the amendment appropr ting the money necessary to finish the new library building for the state university about'4 o'clock Senator Moore moved that the senate recede from its amendments, and the opposition, wearied by the constant pres- sure, gave in.

Trouble Over a Hotel Bill, During the afternoon considerable ill-feel- ing was engendered between some of the in- dependent senators and repre- senting republican and dem encies. The trouble arose over the the senate committee on accounts and ex- penditures in allowing the bill of one of the local hotel keepers of £05 for meals ana cots furnished the iadependent senators during the deadlock early in the week. The senate this forenoon adopted a resolution directing the auditor of public accounts uot to draw a warrant for the amount. Late this Mvernoon Moore moved that this vote be reconsidered, but the senate refused Senator Packwood was the special cham- pion of the claim, and he was therefore sin- gled out for attack by a number of senators on the other side. Graham, Tefft and North claimed that the independent senators had no right to ask the state to pay their board | bills. ‘The debate grew rather acrimoniou and a dozen senators gathered in the au and continued the discussion Over Majors' Meal. Some one on the independent side made the assertion that at least one republican had caten with the independents and now refused to pav his bill. The republican ferred to was Lieutenant Governor Majors, who had uccepted an inyita tion todine at the independent board. Miller Graham and others atonce called the lieu: tenant governor's attention to the state ment, and he promptiy offered to pay for th dinner to which he had been mvited. Th hotel keeper refused to aceept the money. snator Packwood came iv for a great deal of censure from the republican senators, and for a while it looked as if a personal en- counter would take place between himself and Graham. Packwood took the matte very much to heart and was visibly affected by “the severe and undeserved stricture: passed upon his romarks.
