resolution was adopted providing for the
appointment of a committee of three to act

After about one hour had elapsed Senator
castle, IN behalf of the committee appointed
70 walt upon the Govorner, reported that the
executive had no further communications to
make to the legislature. Adjourned sine die.
THE HOUSE.
The routine report of the House proceed
ings up to the close of the session at 4 A. M.
was published in the GLOBE of yes
terday. That report, however, could
not convey any idea Of the scene that pre-
sented itself. There had been great confu-
sion all the evening, and the Speaker was
kept busy pounding his desk for order. The
members remained silent for moment after
each warning, and the roll call would pro
coed, but would again be interrupted by the
hum of conversation. Every member ap-
peared to have some pet scheme that he
wished to advance, and to be anxious to Sc
cure the aid of his fellows in that regard.
After the swamp lands omnibus bill had
been disposed of the disorder increased nm
til the clerks voice, as he called the roll,
could scarcely be heard across the hall.
Messrs. Tompkins, Hyland and Chamber
lain made desperate fight for the appro-
priation in aid of the drive we'll sufferers.
The bill was beaten once, but they procured
reconsideration, and finally, amid the
greatest confusion, the measure was passed.
The announcement of the vote was greeted
with applause and Kisses.
One after another of the members sue
ceeded in having their bills advanced and
acted upon, but it soon became evident that
great number must perish for want of time
to consider them. Then every man had q
motion to make, and so much time was con-
sumed in these motions that the passage of
bills was almost suspended. MIR. Hicks pre-
cipitated an adjournment about two hours
sooner than it was expected to occur. He
tried to call up bill in which he felt a
special interest out of its order, but the
House refused to do so, as had become the
custom, whereat Mr.. Hicks, with some dis
play of anger, moved to adjourn. The mo-
ton was lost, but after another Intellectual
attempt had been made to take up bill out
of its order was renewed by Mr.. Jones and
carried.
Yesterday morning the first of the session
of the House was chiefly devoted to fun. AS
there was no special business save to remain
in session until all the bills could be enroll
ed, amusement was the order of the day for
the first hour. The 'sThird House, took
possession, with DR.. Riley in the chair, and
IN short time he gave way to Hon. E. w.
Durant, of Saltwater, who is the regular
President of the august 'sThird'' body. He
declared that the first business was the
election of .. s. Senator, and in
response to the call Senator Powers
was unanimously chosen. In response he
made very humorous speech wherein he
paid his respects to the attenuated Disp0tch
i'll way that concern would despise if it had
brains enough to know when it was hit.
After an hour Mr.. Durant vacated the chair
and the House resumed it's closing work.
