The House.
Nothing Of startling importance &C.
CURED in the house yesterday. The attor-
ney general bill came up for consideration.
A motion to indefinitely postpone it was
adopted by a vote Of eleven to ten but be-
fore the vote was announced Mr.. Bond.
who voted in the negative, changed his
vote to the affirmative and at once gave
notice that he intended to call up the bill
for reconsideration in the course of a few
days. A rather amusing thing happened
late in the afternoon in this same connec-
ton. Mr.. Bond was in the chair and
among the bills called up for consideration
was one by Mr.. Sutherland which fixed
eight hours as a days work. Mr.. Bond
read the bill to the house aad asked il
there were any amendments to be pro-
posed. No one had any amendments.
Mr.. Bond then said: $50 far as l am
concerned l don't like the reading of the
first section. Its clumsily worded and /
believe could be greatly improved upon."
Mr.. Sutherland was on his feet in a
moment Il am glad, indeed" he said,
ito hear the chairman thus criticize the
wording of a bill which / have introduced
by request. Nothing would suit me bet
ter than to have the wording of the bill
improved upon in every section. 1 will
state for the information of the house
that the bill was drawn by the chairman's
own candidate for attorney general"
T6ei~aah~ke-ofiowed was a general
and hearty one, but it was noticeable that
Mr.. Bond did not join in it.
