CEN ATE

! SENATE.
Mr.. Pope had u resolution passed re-
calling from the house the resolution
providing for final adjournment April
10. The adjournment resolution has
been in the house Tor a good many days,
and that branch has not seen fit to act
on it. MIR. Pope, in having it recalled,
stated that there are only twenty-three
days between now and April 10, and
that if the house should now pass the
resolution, there would be only three
days left in which to introduce bills un-
der the rule that no bills shall be put in
during the last twenty days of the ses.
sion. Three days would not be sufficient
notice for the introduction Of bills. In
view of the failure of the house to act in
this matter, twill be necessary for the
senate, when the resolution shall be re.
turned, to fix later date for the final
ad journment than that named in it.
