over 10 the Houss this morning and
created . ssnsas,on- Mr.. Connor
moved. - IN amendment, the caucus
time and Mr.. Dickema . substitute
psssponing the adjournment one week.
Mr.. poFsnsas moved, - an amendment
20 tbs subseisnts, the amendment pro-
posed By Mr.. Connor to the original
resoiutlon. thus getting hack 70 the
eaucus decree. About this time the
idea struck Mr.. Richardson that the
House was fioundering in . sea of
.rouoles. without knowing just how TO
reach terra hrma- To get time for
taking bearings. ne moved TO table the
matter, but the House refused and the
circus proceeded.
Mr.. Daekema's ; substitute also created
lnforinalines in the senate resolution,
which merely adjourned the Senate aud
not the House. IL also said nothing
about committees visiting institutions,
which WAS the very purpose of the ad-
lournment. Mr.. Barkworth sought to
show his legal aeumen by raising the
the point that the House conld not in-
struct Senate committees To make the
visits nor the Senate the House com.
mittees. Inasmuch as the resolution
WAS concurrent, instructing the com-
mittses OF both Houses, the Speaker
overrulsd his point. Mr.. Hayward got
in . speech against junkets, champagne
suppers and oil the other usual accom-
paniments Of . Democratic jamboree,
and Mr.. Diekema 'went him one bet
ter" by denouncing champagne suppers
IN Lansing also, but intimated that the
facts did not bear out Mr.. Hayward's 8
fancies. After q wordy wind-storm,
or . windy word-storm, as may best
suit the purpose of graphic description.
the substitute was amended in accord
ance with the caucus decree aud
adopted Il now stands House vs..
Senate and no referee.
The Speaker appointed as the House
members OF the joint committee on
taxation, Representative Doremus, of
Ionia; Carpenter, OF Oakland; Northup,
" Delta.
The only bill of public nature no.
heed was one by Mr.. Carpenter, to
amend the act to prohibit railroad CON-
paEies from taking up tracks. abandon
ing stations and failing to operate their
voads.
The following bills were introduced:
BY Mr.. Richardson, to amend Secs. IS
and 20 aud repeal Sec. 10, of the gen.
eral tax law; Doremus, to provide for
the collection of delinquent taxes by
the county system; Watts, to amend
Sec. %, Art. 4, of the general railroad
law; c. l.. Eaton, TO continue the re-
compilation and copying of certain
records in the Adjutant-GeneraPs office.
Mr.. Doremus' bill involves Ex-Sena-
tor Crosby's idea of abolishing the pres
ent system Of delinquent tax collection
in the Auditor-General's office, and
having the work done by the county
Eeasurers, at u saving of considerable
expense.
MI. Watts bill provides for getting
an outlet tor tile drainage through u
yiIlroad's right of way, differences to
be settled by the railroad commissioner.

stitute for IFS adjournment resolution

TO concur. The Senate concurred by a
vote of IL to III. Patrons Bastom, Ben

Sigh of re ief. His joy was cut short
Ky senator Taylor. vino gave notice OF
smotIon to reconsider. and hung the
' solution mp for two days, unless some
sae else moves the reconsideration and
b IS II determined sooner. Senator
I 0ran thought IT was a motion to re-
consider, and be rushed OFT and got q
pointer. and then moved to lay II on
tine table. His contemplated death
blow was ruled out by the president.
Senator Dorsn was plunged IN a
gulf of deep disparr by the next move
of the Senate. A resolution for the ap-
poEutment of Senate apportionment
committee, by Congressional districts,
was taken from the table. Senator
Taylor Rep. offered . substitute pro-
vidng for an election by the Senate
Instead of an appointments by the Presi-
dent. Another flop of the Patrons
Mortified Senator Doran and he saw the
substitute finally adopted by l3 to IL.
Patrons Bastone, Benson and Brown
aiding and abetting- Senator Taylor
then moved an immediate election.
Senator Dorsn pleaded for mercy aud
intimsted that the Republicans we're
taking advantage of the absence OF
penlocrsts. Senator Wilmington re-
minded the kentish statesman that four
Republicans were absent and only
three Democrats. senator wIsner
moved 10 make the election the special
order for February 9, and the matter
went over.
