tenata might proceed with the consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill.

Moiwa bill would still continue as unlinisheel
business during the morning hour. The chair
replied aflirmatlvely.
Sherman "Then no business can be done
in this senate except thit fiom the appropria
tion committee nnd thia Drs Monies bill' : "
Allison "Untd it is disposed of. "
Sherman "Then wo may as well take It
up and take it easy fnr the rf st of the ses

legislation , "
