that Speaker Donahoe hud learned that he
had been too fast in declaring the bill
passed by a majority vote, and the four
other members VINO sustained his decision
were in the same awkward box. some
body would have to do the crawtish act,
but how to do it was puzaler. He moved
a reconsideration of the vote by which the
bill had passed would be to assume that
the bill had passed-the very point which
il was proposed TO repudiate. To substi-
tute declared to have been passed" would
hardly do either, since the declaration had
been clinched by majority vote Of the
Senate,
The morning wore away and with the
opening OF the afternoon session, Clerk
Hearn brought the bill over to the House,
along with Two or three bills that the SEN
ate had passed Then il was supposed in
the House that the Senate had resolved to
stand by its blunder. But within an hour
or so there came from the Senate request
to return the bill, which was granted and
Clerk Dunn took the bill buck. 1t APP
peared that, in the meantime, Senator
Ross had moved, in some FORM for a re-
consideration of yesterdays vote; that
Speaker Donahoe had thereupon ex-
planned that he had not noticed the two
thirds provision in the enacting clause
when he declared the bill passed and that
the Senate had thereupon reconsidered its
Brook bill has, after all, not passed the
Senate and will not pass the Senate until
six votes have been mustered for it.
TROOP B ARMoRY BILL.
by previous arrangement the House,
upon reassembling this afternoon, went
into committee upon the whole upon the
bill to lend $4,000 at 3 per cent to the
trustees of Troop b armory; Mr.. Il, J.

I'VE found said Mr.. Cranston, "agood
andsubstantial building, located at Twelfth
| and Orange streets, on lot 50 by so feet,
the building covering the whole lot, CON
tainining drill room 90 by rs feet, ex-
tending in hight to the roof, and the
balance of the building, 20 by rs feet,
divided into offices, reception room, cloak
rooms, &c. The basement is fitted up for
storage rooms; at one end there is u rifle
range; the centre of the basement is fitted
up for riding school, from which source a
| revenue is to be derived. The estimated
cost of the building, finished, is Sl4, s92 l

facturers of Wilmington will subscribe
enough to pay the balance of the BILL"
Mr., Higgins thought the building was

Mr.. Higgins made an earnest speech in
support Of the measure. He said it was a

legislation since enacted weakened the
confidence of the men who were to pro-
| vide the funds and they withdrew their
offer; so that the trustees now come here
in good faith and say that they have been
unfortunate; things have worked against
them, and therefore they ask the State to
loan them $4,000 at 8 per cent on ample
security, and they viii pay the interest
promptly and store free of charge the milf
tary goods that must be cared for. There
has been large expenditure of national
as well as of State money, for these i'm
pediments which, without care, must
soon become useless. Therefore he would
vote for this bill. II would relieve the
armory trustees, be good investment for
the State and make some amend to the
soldiers for anything in which the Gene
raj Assembly has been unkind to them.
Messrs Jackson, Chapman and Ridgely
also spoke briefly, in favor Of the bill; Mr..
Jackson saying: While | was ready to
fight the militia, not through any preiu-
dice, but simply because | believed it toe
much expense TO the state, | feel just as
willingto-day to come to the relief oil these
gentlemen"
on motion of Mr. Higgins the chairman
was then requested to report the bill favor.

House passed the bill by unanimous vote
