reported, recommending certain action BY

| Wiltsee's Mitchell avenue tunnel bill was
| taken up for concurrence, with Senate
amendments. A call of the House was de-
| mauded and finally warrant issued for the
arrest of four members. Word was at length
brought to the House that the Senate had
adjourned to Monday morning without
any action upon the House resolution for
final adjournment on Monday next This
action was taken by the House as dis
courtesy, and under stress of the indigna-
ton thereby occasioned, motion for ad-
journment to Tuesday morning at seven
O'Clock was made by Mr.. Scheble, aud put
and carried with a rush. This action sent
all unfinished business to the table, where
it will probably remain until next winter.
