rules, reported q rule proposed originally
by Mr.. Holman, requiring that all bills
making appropriations oe money or
ton to be made, or authorizing pay
ment out of appropriations already
made, shall be first considered in the
committee of the whole.
The speaker, in the course of the dis
cussiOn, stated the necessity for the pro-
posed bill. The existing rule on the sub
ject, established liz 1874, required all pro-
ceedings touching money appropriations
TO be discussed in committee of the
whole, and if that rule were before the
house without having received the con-
struction given to it for many years
past, the chair would rule that it en-
braced everything covered by the
proposed change; but the rule had re-
ceiyed series Of constructions, which
had, to large extent, nullified the safe
guard Of the rule. Bills were frequently
brought in, involving appropriations to
be subsequently made, or to be paid out
OF appropriations already made, both
being very clear and palpable evasions
of the spirit of the rule of 1894. The
scope of the proposed rule was to cure
those defects, so that whenever propo-
sition involves payment from
the public purse, it shall and
ought to be discussion in committee
of the whole. 1t was an invaluable i'm
provement on the present practice.
This rule was adopted, and the house
entered into sole discussion on the
right OF member, who had voted but
was not 80 recorded, to have his vote
counted after the result had been an
nOunced. The speaker ruling in the neg
ative, and several members arguing to
the contrary, the house adjourned, leav-
ing the question to be definitely settled
tomorrow.

New ORLEANS, January 12.-The
steamer Andean, from Aspinwall, Jsnu-
Rry Sd, arrived, and brings the follow
ing from the correspondent of the asso-
ciated press: The City of Panama and
the Isthmus is quiet. No news Of i'm
portance from the interior. The United
States steamer and Her Britanic Msies-
ty's Reindeer are anchored in the har-
Dor. There is no likelihood of war in
Central America, at least so far as Costa
Rica is concerned. The only event
which may have a disturbing in
fluence in the future is the action
of President Gonzales, of San Salvador,
who has proclaimed Leon as president
of Honduras, apparently against the
will of the people OF that republic. He
collected body of troops at Launcen,
and took the Honduras part of Ampola
by storm. Several lives were lost on
both sides. United States Minister
Williamson was doing his best to re-
establish peace smOng the several
States. He proposed meeting of the four
presidents OF the different republics, to
take into consideration the condition
and wants of the country. The propO-
sal was agreed to. Peru, up to the twen-
tieth ultimo, continued at peace, and
the only matters that at all keep up the
excitement, relate to the financial con-
dition of the country, and measures will
be taken by the government respecting
them. A decree has just been issued re-
quiring the banks to buy government
stocks, at the governments own price.
The banks were unanimous in their de-

Meeting and Organization Of the Terri
t0rial Legislature-PrOmlneHt
Features Of the Govern
Or's Message.

SALT LAKE, January 13.-The Terri
tOrisl legislature organized yesterday,
and the governors message was deliv-
ed to-day. 1t states that many of the
laws now being enforced were ordained
by the general assembly of the State of
Deseret before the organization of the
Territory by congress. A system of
common and free schools is recon-
mended, and attention is called
to the act of the legislature giving the
property left by deceased or absconded
persons without legal claimant to the
control Of the treasury of the perpetual
emigration fund; also to the act by
which the said fund is placed under the
control of the church OF Jesus Christ of
the latter day saints.
1t is said the Territorial marshal is
stands, the probate courts Tightful-
ly have no equity or criminal juriSdic-
ton, yet exercise both; that the Jury
law is defective, and that no panel can
be drawn, under the present law,
that will be legal; that the at
torney-g general, marshal, treasur-
er, librarian, auditor of public
accounts, superintendent of public in
structiOn, warden ofthe penitentiary and
notsries-p public, are not nominated and
confirmed in accordance with the or
ganic act. Attention is called to the
law authorizing the leasing Of the peni-
tentisry, wsrden's house, and other
and convicts, to persons
who may bid therefor, and to the spec
tacle Of a penitentiary without con-
vict in it, the prisoners being kept in
county jails, in cribs, and in such places
as the warden may deem proper. No
provision is made by law for the
payment of Territorial officers,
payment being made by q
relief bill after service had
been rendered; urges the abolishment
Ofthe numbering of the ballot; recon-
mends the repeal Of the law Of 1873,
which declares that the right of
discovery shall not exist in this Terri |
tory; asks for a memorial for a |
branch mint, and a geological sur
7ey of the States and Territories. The |
Territory is free Of debt, with over

ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis Thealer.


The charming and sprightly little
LOtta commenced a brief engagement
at the Memphis Theater last night. The
house was crowded, and the reception
with which she was greeted when she
made her appearance, showed that she
still has hundreds of friends in Mem
phis who are always ready to tender her
a hearty, joyous welcome. The piece
selected was The Little Detective, in
which Lolita sustains half dozen char
aeters, and which give her most excel
lent opportunity to exhibit her very ver-
satile talents. In all these various char
actels she was really excellent but partic-
ular mention must be made of the capi-
tai and rollicking manner in which she
persOnated the character of Barney
OBrien." Her Irish medley and new
shillalah jig created quite Il f'trOre. AS
the Dutch girl her "make upn was
true to life, and her singing of TyrO-
lean song ELECTED a hearty encore. She
was capitally supported by Mr.. Z. A.
Locke as " LudOvic," an unfortunate
Dutchman, who gets unwittingly into
bad company, but who has ever the full
sympathy of the audience as he kept
them in roars of laughter whenever he
was on the stage. His misfortunes
came thick and fast, but their
only effect was to excite the risables of
the spectators. The other characters
were well sustained by Messrs. Knowles,
Moreland, Lang, Miss Anderson and
Miss Proctor. Tonight The Little De-
tectiUe will be repeated, when there is
certain to be a large and fashionable
audience.
The California MinstreIs.
The minstrels had another fine audi
ence ON the occasion of their second
appearance at the GTeenlaW OperahOuse
last night. The first part Of the pro-
gramme was capitally diversified,
pleasing ballads, admirably sung,
being interspersed with comic
songs and witty jokes by
the lend men," Bachus and Birch,
two genuine sons of Momus. The
quartette is one of the finest ever heard
in Memphis, and the great Ricardo
again was loudly applauded for his won
derful singing Of selections of Operatic
music. The oliO embraced several bur-
lesques, which kept the audience highly
amused. Tonight change of pro-
gramme.
Readings by "Pips.''
The entertainment to be given at the
Assembly hall tomorrow night by Mrs. !
O'Byrne, will, I'VE feel safe in assuring the
public, be one every way worthy as
large an audience as the hall will hold. |
Mayor John League will preside and
introduce the lady, and she will be as
sisted by several local celebrities, who |
will contribute to make the occasion a |
success in every respect. Mrs. O'Byrne
is highly spoken of by the press of other
cities as lady deserving of public sup
port. The Sodality band will contribute |
to the entertainment of the evening.
