CONTINUED FROM PAGE I.

Mr.. Allen of East Greenwich objected.
A matter was now pending In court at
feeting the agricultural fund and he
thought the Legislature ought not to
commit themselves.
Mr.. smith wanted to know IL it was not
the intention of Mr.. Allen and his col
leagues To take from the University the
fund now had. IL so, the present benefi-
ciaries would not be permitted to finish
their educations.
Mr.. Allen said this was the first he had
heard Of IL.
Mr.. Wilson of East Providence said the
proposed legislation could have nothing
TO do with the old fund.
The resolution was put on its passage.
The vote showed the country members as
opposed to the resolution and that they
voted without regard TO party affilia-
tions. The resolution was adopted AZ
ayes, 43 noes.
The memorial from the Newport Re-
publicans was taken from the table and
was about to he sent To the committee on
elections when Mr.. Honey offered sub
stitute motion.
fhe chair ruled that Mr.. Honey's mo-
tion took procedure as memorial. IL the
motion prevailed it would have to be re-
ferred to the joint special committee
mentioned therein. The motion proposed
that Senator'S Freeman and Comstock,
Bleagett- should be appointed as joint
special committee, with authority TO in
vestigate the charges preferred by j. w.
Horton and others, that they be empow-
cred TO send for persons and papers. and
to administer oaths, and that the expense
Of the investigation should be paid by APP
preparation.
Mr.. Honey asked that the memorial be
read, which was done, after which Honey
spoke. and said that after the matter had
been carefully and deliberately investi-
gated the Newport members would, il the
majority of the House decided them not
entitled to their seats, cheerfully with
draw. There had been a great many wild
statements spread broadcast by the press
and otherwise which ought to be cor
rected, aud which had caused great deal
of feeling.
III the members would look at the pro-
posed joint special committee, they would
see that IL was made up of lawyers. This
had been done because such n grave mat
ter should be considered by judicial
minds.
The committee on elections Of the
House, as appointed yesterday, was made
up of four Republicans and one Demo
crat, which was not a fair division. AT
1888 Mayor Honey suggested that mas
much as the committee on corporations
had great deal Of business, II wished
to present to the House and as he did not
as one desirious OF presenting Newport's
case fairly, to fair minded house, he
would give way until after the corpora
tion business was disposed Of. IL was
finally arranged that the subject should
go over until ll:30 Friday morning when
IL should be n special order and that
Honey should have the floor.
At IL o'clock the grand committee was
convened and several people were elected
as beneficieries at Brown University, In
Guiding Miss Martin Of Pawtucket, the
first woman so elected. The grand com
mittee then arose and dissolved, and both
Houses went to their respective chambers
When the House resumed business large
number OF acts from the Senate were re-
ferred TO committees.
On recommendation Of the judiciary
committee an act was passed authorizing
the purpose of building a Central Police
