Mr. Lafollette showed no sighs of fatigue. Several times he became earnest and taxed his voice more than usual and it was thought from that fact that he had relief in sight. It was learned that Senator Stone, who had gone to his: hotel earlier in the evening, had left word that he was to be called before mid-night There were all kinds of rumors circulating Including one that S-nutor Jeff Davis had telegraphed Senator Lafollette that he was coming and to hold out until he reached Washington. This could not be confirmed.

It was also said that several democrats had received dispatches from Mr. urging them to Join in the filibuster, but this story was not generally credited as it met with vehement denials. Several republican Senators who had been tele-graphed to return I to Washington responded saying they would ibe here tomorrow. Republican leaders say they will have a quorum from their own membership tomorrow and that they will not be defeated by a one or twq man filibuster if they have to keep Congress in session indefinitely. In-thi resolution they have the sympathy of Speaker Cannon, who was a frequent visitor to the Senate wing of the Capitol.

On the 23rd roll call, upon motion of Mr. Stone, -the absence of a quorum was developed and the ser-geant-at-arms was directed to bring in the absentees. After several minutes the; requisite number of Senators had answered, but neverthelss the order of the sergeant-at-arms was allowed to stand. i When Mr. Lafollette.

was recognized to resume his speech he said: "I have informed that there is to be a rule sprung on me here that a Senator cannot speak more than twice on r. aubject in a legislative day. I would like to know whether, if I should yield the floor.I could get it again." Several Senators concurred in the statement that Mr. Lafollette undoubtedly had placed the right construction on the rules, and it was evident that If he gave up the floor' he would have a. hard time securing It again.

Mr. Lafollette read at great length from a work of fiction on the subject of the rphyslcal valuation of railways, occasionally calling for a quorum. The 'chamber and galleries were crowded as the evening session wore on. Senator Stone left the Capitol for his hotel soon after making his point, saying that It was necessary to secure some sleep before beginning his promised speech. The vigor and thegeneral resources of Mr.

Lafollette were probably never more severely tested. At 11 o'clock he was in better voice and was speaking with more vehemence than had character Ized his remarks at 3 o'oclock in the afternoon. It was stated at 10 o'clock that Senator Stone had promised to relieve Mr. Lafollette at one o'c'ock nd the latter said that he would be quite capable of proceeding until that time. Spoke Almost Twelve Hours.

After Mr. Lafollette had spoken over ten hours he received a note from' some watcher he had placed on guard. "Why," he said, reading "I did not know I wai speaku? to only 21 Senators. I have to make this speech all over." At 11:45 o'clock Senator Stone returned to his seat looking refreshed after, several hours' sleep, and he arranged to relieve Mr. Lafollette.

The latter had Just raised a point of no quorum and Mr. Aldrich moved that the sergeant-at-arms be; instructed compel the attendance of absentee:" from the chamber who are In the city. The purpose of Mr. Aldrich's motion wai to compel Mr. Lafollette to remain in the chamber in spite of the fact he had beeir sneaking almost twelve hours.

Mr. Stone, who r. as anxious to take the Wisconsin Senator's place, moved to suspend the execution of the order but the motion was defeated by the Republic-im: Mr. lafollette proceeded with hi speech Continues After Midnight. Shortly after midnight, Mr, Lafol-lete secured roll call on the question of a cuorum and after it was established he almost immediately demanded another roll call.

Mr. Aldrich mde a point that the motion was not in order as no business had intervened- Mr. Lafollette threatened that if such a precedent were established it would come up to plague the Senate. Mr. Aldrich's motion was' declared to be adopted by a vote of.

35 to 5. If the rule is enforced It will end the incessant' demands for roll calls to ascertain whether a quorum is present Almost any law can be evaded.

I. i Mr." Lafollette complained of his re cent illness, and during much of the day leaned strongly -upon the arm of his chair half sitting as he talked. He engaged Mr. Aldrich in a colloquoy concerning the provisions of the currency and later declaring that the chairman of the Finance Commit tee had not, been in his replies, he was called to order, and only, after a vote of the Senate had restored him to hts right to the floor, did he 'continue his remarks.

All Senators except Mr. Foraker voted to permit him to continue. Shortly before 6 o'clock Mr. Lafol lette inquired whether a proposition would be agreed to strike out bonds and stocks from the'list of 'security contemplated in the conference agreement but Mr. Aldrieh promptly de clined the offer, saying the 1 adoption of the report was the only question before the Senate and adding that so far as he was concerned he had neither power, nor disposition to make the concession suggested.

Mr. Al drich declared that the report would remain before the Senate until March 4, 1909, if necessary. During the late afternoon all ab sent Republican Senators were noti- ned to be present on the ground of "necessity," the Important problem being that or keeping a quorum pres ent until the filibuster shall wear itself out Mr. Lafollette threatened during the day to keep the Senate in session three weeks, but the support he will get' in order to. continue his tactics when at the end of his physical endurance is yet to be Been.

N. May 29. Now, that the smoke of battle in the recent prohibition Campaign, which was a very warm fight in Durham, has' cleared away, the people are getting down to their normal selves again. The prohibition fight, following so closely the gubernatorial and 1 congressional fight, which was also a very interesting contest, has kept the voters in an unsettled and argumentative frame of mind for a goodly number of weeks. But as this is now over, the people are talking more business.

It will not be long, however, befare the county campaign for of those who are to be on the ticket in the general election next fall will be on and then there will be more interesting things and an interesting fight This will not begin until after the holding of the State, Congressional and Judicial conventions. The last night convention will be held in Durham ion June 6th and it promises to be a fight and at this range smacks of a dead-lock for hours. Mr. Fuller, Durham's favorite son; Mr. S.

M. Gat-tiS, the favorite of Orange, and Mr. Hobgood, who has the instructed delegation from his county of Guilford, showing; that he is the favorite, will all come! into the convention with the vote so close together that it is expected that it will take much time to decide the matter. Mr. Fuller has about 69 votes, Mrj Gattis about 59 and Mr.

Hobgood about 72. Some those who were afraid to "face the music" in the. prohibition flit and vote their sentiments, but rather ran off on important business, are being made the subjects of considerable fun and amusement about the court house just now. The fight is over and everybody is in a good frame of mind and there is much fun as a result of some features of the Property Changing Hands. Politics, hot weather, commence- ments and dull times do not jointly stoo the man altogether and in the last few days considerable property.

nas changed: hands. Tomorrow there will be much other property to change hands, as it is advertised that forty lots will be sold at auction near the Southern suburbs of the city. Mr. W. H.

Monday morning there will be a tegular meeting of the County Board of: Education, and 'while it is one of the mid-summer meetings, whert everything is at a stand -still so far as the schools are concerned, the meeting will I be an Important one. The adjourned meeting that was to have been held this week was postponed oh account of the illness of Superintendent C. W- Masseyand the work that was intended for this meeting will be done inext week. One feature will be the opening of the second set of bids for; the erection of three. jVery fine rural school houses.

first bids, whjch aggregated between and; $15,000 for the three, were too high and some changes were made In the specifications. Now the new bids are to be opened. Then there are five special tax districts in the county and the I members of the board will have to figure out the additional taxes to be collectedfin these districts. This will take much time. Several other matters of Importance are scheduled.
