Mr. Graham began the debate, which became a very interesting one. He said Judging from the number of insurance agents and their friends here working for this measure, we had better take more time to consider it. The main purpose of this is to allow insur ance companies run out of the State as the result of the passage of the Craig act to come back. I heartily endorse the Craig act.

At the close of morning business in the Senate todav the Ship-subsidy bill was called up. Mr. Frye took the floor and proceeded to make an explanation as to his desires in regard to the bounty measure. He said that he had no desire to hold night sessions, and wished to make some agreement so a vote might be taken without resorting to an extra session. Mr. Jones of Arkansas replied to this, saying that none of the Democratic members wanted night sessions, but they wanted time to discuss the bill thorough ly before taking a vote. Mr. Frye replied that he was willing to jrrant all this, so long as filibustering was not resorted to. Mr .Teller replied that there would be no filibustering, and that there had been no filibustering. He said that night sessions merely delayed the vote on the bill and would continue to delay mat ters. Mr. Frye asked that a limit be placed on debate, as he himself was opposed to night sessions. Mr. Jones said, this could not be done, as the minority had a number of speech es prepared and wished to show to the world the iniquity of the measure. Mr. Chandler replied that a cloture nib? should be adopted. He gave n-otice ihat he wanted an extra session, and ent to the desk a bill providing for an extra session of Congress every two years. ' Mr. Pritchard then made a long speech Tn - favor of the bill. He expressed the opinion that the pending bill came nearer to embodying the principles which should control the subject than any other plan , that had been advocated. Its defeat, j lie said, would tie one ot tne most ratal mm.

After announcing the fact that the committee had reported favorably the resolution Judge Allen asked that the resolution be made the special ordar at II o'clock Thursday. He said this post ponement had been requested by Mr. Ebbs and Mr. Blythe, the Republican members of the committee, who desired t have time to prepare and file a minority report. The House decided to print the report of the Sub-judiciary Committee, as well as the evidence of Judges Clark and Montgomery, Col. T. S. Kenan, clerk of the Supreme Court, and Col. J. C. L. Harris A motion 'to this effect was introduced., by Mr. Rcrantree of New Hanover and unanimously . adopted. In what shape Judge Connor will in troduce his resolution of . disapproval, is riot vet known. Judge Connor stated last Mecklenburg asked for 13 extra weeks and Buncombe 19. Mr. Shannonhouse, of Mecklenburg. -stated that 35 weeks of court was tne average number for a judge. He stnt.:d that the work '"of our Judges ' off the bench amounted to fully 8 or 10 weeks. "The. most laborious work,", he teaid, t'is not in the court, but off the benchf mak ing up cases on appeal and hearing cases at chambers. The average number of court weeks has been 35 and the pro position now is to make the - number of weeks "35. ' Senator Lindsay: Two ex-judges who are members of this Legislature have stated that a judge ought to work 40 weeks. I think fifteen judicial districts would' be sufficient. If judges work only 35 weeks, taking off 8 weeks or special outside work they will then have, nine weeks vacation. I think 15 judges a sufficient number. ' - Mr. Shannonhouse: Judges take much of their vacation traveling aud frequently they are working until a late hour in the morning. Senator Lindsay: ;'.'"
