department OF docks In the city Of New

meant. Herman wouldn't tell any more than
he heard. Fields objected on the point that
no printed bill could be introduced. Hused, IN the
chair, decided the point well Iaken Larry got
and commenced pitching into them and was again
ruled out OF Order Next Fields wanted to see the
bills but Larry wouldn'r let him. Then both got
and growIed at each other, but Larry finally
got his bill IN.
MORE sNARLs AND OBJECTIONS.
Some time after the Sage OF OnOndaga objected TO
Brooklyn bill. This got Jacobs bill up, and he
pitched into the venerable Sage Then Blair offered
resolution to send Hennesey bill for the extension
OF Irving place to the Sub-Committee OF the
Whole. Herman wanted some information, and
the member from Sligo gave him buzz.
He objected to the resolution, and It was
voted down. Then Blair sarcasticaly thanked the
member for Sligo for his interference. The latter
gent retorted sharply tnat he did not want mis- con.
obecsns. The st was about TT to "i become ercer
