Routine ReNOrt.

Routine Report.
House met at 10 a. NJ, Speaker Fletcher
presiding. Devotional exercises by Rev.
DR.. Dana; roll call and reading of the
journal.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Daniels rose to a question of privi-
lege, and said had he been present yester-
day when the prohibition bill was under
consideration, he would have voted against
its indefinite post ponement.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Mr.. J. E. Child moved to take up his
resolution offered yesterday calling upon
the railroad committee to report
back the Baker railroad bill
referred to it, by the 18th. In his opinion
the committee should be required to re-
port these matters back with some kind of
recommendation, and give the house an
opportunity to consider the matter. At the
committee meeting last evening Mr.. Hill,
of the Manitoba road, had opposed any
legislation at this time, and it was Gesir-
able to ASCERTAIN the temper of the house
at as early date as possible, in order that
if legislation was to be had it might be
properly perfected and disposed of, and
gotten out of the way of other business.
Messrs, Jas. Smith, Jr., and Gregory OPP
posed the resolution as unjust to the
committee and not calculated to
hasten the matter. The committee in con-
nection with the senate committee, were
working faithfully to perfect a measure
that would, he thought, meet the wishes OF
the great majority of the people.
Upon a yea and nay vote the motion of
Mr.. Child's was adopted. Yeas, 42;nays, 80.
Mr.. Child then moved the adoption of
the resolution.
Mr.. Bobleter moved to amend by sub
stituting Feb. 20, instead of Feb. is, as the
date for the committee to report.
The amendment was adopted, as also tbs
resolution as amended.
NEW BILLS.
Mr.. J: Z. Child offered resolution that
on and after the oath no bill be received
except by unanimous consent.
Mr.. Bohland gave notice of debate.
RAHILLY's RAILROAD BILL.
Mr.. Rahilly moved to recall his railroad
bill from the committee and place it on
general orders. He had no faith in early
report from the committee, and as the bill
had got to be considered by the house it
might as we'll be done first as last.
Mr.. Jas. Smith, Jr., moved to amend by
naming the goth for return of the bill.
The amendment prevailed, and the motion
as amended, was adopted.
SMALLPOX.
It was voted, upon motion of Mr.. Hicks,
that special committee of three. act
in conjunction with a similar COM
mittee of the senate, to consider
all bills upon the subject of small
pox. The speaker appointed as such COM
mittee Messrs. J. E. Child, Bean and Ra-
hiily.
