very sncouraging-indeed. as almost promising VIC.
the final passage OF tho bill which ensued was
scanned with anxiety by both sides As u progressed
II became evident from the change Of few votes ana

The first time this session a call Of the House vas
orssssd fas chsm0s was ase.t e1ss'e ana urud
ers. Mono but members and reporters were
allowed stay. Then the call was proceeded
with, each member, as his name was uttered Answel-
Hume, King, Moller, sawyer, wSksly and the
Speaker were found 10 be absent. Mr. Aston shortly
aierward entered and took his seat and the absence
OF the other gentlemen nam ed was properly accounted
Tor without the Interference OF the sersesnt-at-Arm
Copseoucntly no orders OF arrest were issued, and
Mir Ho ahan yielding to the force oil adverse circum-
stances, moved that further proceedings under tue
call be suspended.
This motion having prevailed the doors were thrown

specting the offer Of brides members oHercd reso-
luton requiring the Committee on Privileges and
