State collection. It was referred to the Com
mittee on Geology and Science.
THE RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE BOARD
ia beginning to attract notice again. The names
may be sent in tnis Woek, but there is not very
full Senate. It is not impossible that Mr.. Nc
Crea will be again nominated. Mr. Cook, Of
Normal, is also talked Of, and Seth F. Crews, OF
Wayne. These are simply guesses, as there is
nothing known, and perhaps new BOT OF guesges
will be in order before the end Of an hour.
The Hon. John N. Jewett was On the floor Of

Leut.-Gov. EARLY went home, on Saturday,

ENROLLING AND ESaRoss1sa ELLIS.
Mr. Moore, "a Chairman Of the Committee On
Enrolling and Epgrossing Bills, made an e1pla-
nation regarding the eIrors found in House bill
No. 19. He claimed that the fault WAS not in the
department., but was caused by the printer, and
the rule being that the original bill went to the
printer, and tho engrossing was done from the
printed copy, he therefore thought, in Justice to
the Clerk, this explanation should be published.
HOUSE BILL NO. 19.
This emergency bill seems to be very un-
fortunate one, for, when called up last week for
q third reading, it WAS found to contain go many
errors it was sent back to be re-engrossed. This
morning, when again called up on special order,
it was found that another misunderstanding has
arisen- Mr. B1adwelI desired that the bill be
recommitted, in order that it might be amended
in conformity to the spirit OF the amendments
made by the House yesterday in Bill No. 800, it
being measure Of similar import. The motion
to reco1nmit WAS put and lost. a motion to re-
fer to tho Committee on Revision was put and
lost, and the bill WAS finally ordered to be en-
crossed for a third reading.
INSTRUCTIONS 70 CONGRESS.
The resolutions introduced by Mesars Wicker
and Rountree, proposing to instruct Congress
in its duty regarding the national currency. after
sharp debate, Was indefinitely postponed, the
sense Of the House being manifestly in favor Of

this decided action of the House will be accepted
as lesson to all aspiring candidates that they
should find some other rena to display their
qualifications for Congressional honorB than the
floor Of this House.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. |
Quinn's bill to abolish capital punishment I
came up during the Absence of the Peoria orator,
who is investigating at Joliet, and WAS inded- !
nitely postponed.
