accustomed places, however, and Mr. Hill was
also in his seat But, all told there were moi
more than thirty senators present, and ,herd
appeared TO be an utter lack OF interest In or
binary business
HousI.-This was Suspension day" In tho
house. The Hatch anticipation bill was passed,
and then the river and harbor bill was sent to
conference committee. Next bills admitting
the territories OF New Mexico and Arizona as
states to the union were put through, and had
the committee on territories had the bill for the
admission Of Utah ready it is probable that,
too, would have been passed. Then the legisla.
tive executive and judicial appropriation bill,
one OF the most important appropriation
measures of that class OF bills, was passed.
This saves about three wecks' time. The pas
sage Of these most important measures under
suspension Of the rules required two-third
vote In the affirmative on each
