1b on harbors and tide waters, tho
article on school and granted lands, the
article on the state seal and the article
on boundaries.
Bowen, Burk, 7. NJ. Reed and Weir
voted no.
This completes the revision commit
tees work up to date.
Previous to the vote Turner moved a
call of the house, which was had, and
the seats were
PROMPTLY FILLED,
leaving only Convey, Kellogg, Lillls
and y. Q. Sullivan delinquent.
Then Lindsey moved 10 dispense
with further proceedings, and business
wasresumed When the state seal arti-
Gle was read, 1t appeared us the mere de-
scription of seal without any words of
adoption.
The chair called attention to this, but
no one appeared to notice 1t until the

with n motion 10 suspend the rules and
remedy that omiss ion.
Turner suggested prciixing the words,
"rhc seal OF the state of Washington
shall be, and 1t WAS so voted.
The committee recommended several
technical amendments and that the tide
lands sections be separated from the
schedule article and voted upon separ-
atoly.
This latter recommendation was
adopted by the convention. The amend
monts to tie schedule proper were first
considered and adopted.
Power moved TO puss along and con-
slider the tide lands sections before finally
agreeing to the schedule, because the
schedule ought to be LETT open until the
last moment.
The schedule was then considered en-
crossed and ordered 10 third read
ing.
The third reading was dispensed with
and by the usual roll call the schedule
was agreed to and sent to the revision
committee.
Power moved 10 take up the next
article, confirming United States patents.
Sullivan of Tacoma moved To amend
by taking up declaration of state and
claims first, which was lost by 81 to 81.

Griiiitts and kinnear wanted to amend
but were ruled out.
Warner wished to know if the amend

motion to pass TO II third reading fnilcd.
The chair said yes.
Gntlitts said the chair had Just ruled
that the article
WAS klLLED

The chair did not settle that matter,
but said that the only thing in order

Turner moved tlIat, instead of refer
cncc TO the revision committee, us usual,
his tide lands matter should he sent TO
the enrolment committee forthwith.
Sullivan OF Tacoma said that would
require a suspension of the rules, and
Turner theroupon moved u suspension
of the rules for the purpose of making
his motion.

Tacoma called for the ayes and noes.
The motion prevailed.
The chair declared that the article
was thus finally agreed to and ordered 1t
