The chair laid before the house the
following message:
To the Legislative Assembly.
l am officially informed by the secre.
tary of the territory, who is the U. S.
custodian of public buildings, that the
rooms in the palace, long occupied by Col.
Breeder, will be turned over to the Blu
reau of immigration on June l..
One of the most important objects OF
the bureau was to keep up permanent
exhibition of the products OF the territory
in order that all inquirers might see at a
glance the actual production Of different
sections. The lack of proper place for
such an exhibition has heretofore pre-
vented this plan being carried into effect.
1t seemed proper to communicate this
information from the secretary to the
legislature, as the expense OF such a per-
manent exhibition, including payment OF
a person in charge OF the rooms, fuel,
etc., can not be less than $500 year, and
should be added to the appropriation for
the Bureau of Immigration.
L. BRADFORD PRINCE,
Governor of New Mexico.
The following new bills were introduced,
read and referred to appropriate commit
tees:
By Mr.. Herrera H. B. No. 176, to

relative to cemeteries and regulating the

vide for the pay of the engineer at the
capitol building for the months of Jan
uary and February.
By Mr.. George, Fl. B. No. 1893, to
amend section l, chapter 25, session laws
of 'S9.
Mr.. Herrera asked that the rules be
suspended and the bills be placed upon
their final reading. Mr.. Burns objected
and the house sustained him. Mr.. Burns
referred to H. B. No. 1876, relative to
burial of the dead, as "a farce" and Mr..
Herrera replied quiet feelingy. Finally,
on motion Of Mr.. Burns the cemetery bill
was referred to the committee on roads
and irrigation.
Mr. Fall called up H. B. No. lie, relat-
ing to titles to real estate, aud after some
discussion and the adoption Of number

CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDORS.
The enrolling clerks of the house GER
tainly "take the cake" in making mis-
takes. Early in the session nearly all Of
the bills coming from them had to be
returned for correction, but it was char
itably suggested that perhaps they wert
not very familiar with English and would
do better when some bills in Spanish
were to be enrolled. Yesterday the frs
Spanish bill made It's appearance at the
governors Office, and on examination
this morning no less than eight mistakes
were found in it, though it was less thar
