ate Reconsiders It's Reso-
luton TO Adjourn.

Representatives Mcclellan, OF Porter, and
Eley, of Adams, are both too i'll to be pres
ent at the sessions of the House.
Mr. Best yesterday introduced joint reso-
luton for an amendment to the Constitu-
aion, striking out the word "male," thus
giving to women the right of suffrage. The
Ieso ution failed to pass for want of q consti-
zdtl0nal majority, the vo being 4j to 43 in
fsvcr OF its passage.
The Senate yesterday reconsidered its &C
zion OF the day before regarding the adjourn

aside its special order, the consideration of
Abe General Appropriation bill, which, how
ever was taken up just before the nosn re-
cess and considered during The entire after
noon.
The House yesterday coDcurred in the
Senate amendments to the bill prohibiting
base bail playing on Sunday, and the bill
only wants the Governors signature to be-
GENE law. As the emergency clause was
stricken out, the law will be imperative till
the publication of the laws. aud the Sunday
games may be played till this is done.
The Fee and Salary bill, substituted for the
Mesier bill by the committee was called up
in the House yesterday, and, after some dis
cussion, was referred 70 a special committee
with Instructions to report on Monday.

nothing will be done on the question OF fees
and salaries, Is tbs measure, even IL adopted
by the House, can not reach the Senate till
near the constitutional limit OF the special
session. Messrs. Shanks, Cartwright and
Sears were appointed as the committee.

House would have adopted the Senate reso-
luton to adjourn sine die on Monday next,
