To-pAY's SESSION.
When the senate met this morning Mr..
King Immediately called up II. B. No 55,
the public school bill, and the ball opened
for the most animated struggle of the
session. The friends OF the bill, how
ever, were in the majority and when it
came to voting controlled clear two
thirds of the senate.
After the minority had retarded prog
ress for atime the senate went into COM
mittee of the whole to consider numerous
amendments which were offered by many
members, chiefly, Messrs. King, Catron
und Franks. The bill was taken up in
,committee of the whole, and read section
by section, and the amendments gener-
Tally adopted, the minority all the time
keeping up vigorous protest and re-
sorting to all the tilibustering known to
parliamentary bodies to retard
progress. Mr.. Perea led the oppo-
lsition, and did it good naturally, but
Earnestly, and his supporters were Sena-
Taos, and Jaramilo from Rio Arriba.
On every point the vote stood to 4 in
favor of the school law, the majority
comprising the names Of Messrs. King,
Prichard, Dolan, Catron, Franks, Fort,
Chavez and Rodey.
All day this measure has been under
consideration to the exclusion of any
other business. Progress is slow, but re.
garded by the friends of the measure
as sure. However, some express grave
doubts as to whether or not the bill as
amended can be finally passed upon and
put through the house prior to final adj
journment at ~ o'clock tonight.
; Up to / o'clock but twelve out of the
: thirty-six sections had been passed upon
by the senate. A dozen attempts to adj
| journ failed, and the members went din
nerless to keep the ball rolling. At 8
o'clock this afternoon they had passed
on tWenty-three sections. 1t is
probable that O'Clock will roll around
before the measure is placed upon its
passage.
1t is limited, and, indeed, it is openly
avowed by some Of the senators that one
reason for pushing the school bill so We
hemently, at this late stage of the game, is
that Gov Ross now has it in his power
to kill the omnibus bill, providing for pub.
l. lie institutions at various points in the
territory, and it is said he has intimated
his intention to kill the omnibus bill by q
pocket veto" unless the school bill is
passed.
Alta p. m. the minority were bravely
pushing their fillerbustering methods and
the majority were as sternly passing fay
