The time of the session waa taken up In filibustering against tha bill to create the new county of Phil Cook. The introduction ot a bill, which passed, to appropriate 17,600 for a new hospital nt the Confederate Sol- 1 dlers' home, brought out a petition which attacked the management of the - home, and which caused heated de- u bate. The text of the petition Is found r In another column. When the resolution to set the senate * bill creating tho new county of Phil •» Cook for a special order on next Tues day was read Friday morning, It was the signal for turbulent debate from the opponent* of the bill, and a system* of filibustering tactics ensued, which J continued for hours. So sooner had the resolution been read than a dozen members were on the floor. A motion for tho previous question was failed. .Mr. Hall, of Bibb, » moved to table that part of the resolu- ; tlon relating to I’hll Cook county, stat- J Ing In anawer to a question that he wemi not filibustering, but trying to sav# the valuable time ot tho house. His i motion was lost. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, opened » the Kilim >>f d«*lnv by culling for the' ayes and nays on the call to sustain the previous question. This, with three- mlnuto speeches of every member of tho opposition consumed nn hour. The report of the committee on the question • of ths adoption of tho resolution brought another call for tho vote by roll call and another hour's delay, it was freely stated on the floor that the opi>nnents of the measure were making nn effort to tire out Its supporters and prevent the hearing of the bill nt the present session.
