There will be 30 minutes for debate equally divided in the usual form. Upon the use or yielding back of time the Senate will proceed to vote without intervening action or debate on Cal. #833, and 875 in that order; the motions to reconsider will be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. No further motions are in order.
