The Senate adjourned until Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
The House was in session two hours
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Sallee wanted to provide revolv-
ing easy chairs for the members, but
as nobody would second his motion he
will not be afforded the oriental lux.
ury that he imagined belonged to the
Office of law-maker. Instead Of Sc
curing the privilege OF sitting on .
costly divan, the House sat down on
him with vigor.
Mr.. Mcmillan wanted to empower
the Sergeant-at-Arms to "buy such
articles as may be necessary for use oI
the House of Representatives." but
this, too, met with a cool reception,
for the individual desires OF members
and the financial ability of the Ser
geant-at-Arms were both unknown
quantities. The House adopted the
resolution, however, after authorizing
the Speaker to supervise all purchases.
A wrangle ensued, over the Harbor
Line. Commission bill, and as the House
refused to suspend the rules to place
it on its final passage, it went to the
table and with it the present COM
mission, for their term expires before
the lawmakers meet OH Monday.
A proposition, made by Mr.. Wheeler,
TO inform the people of the provisions
of bills by directing the State Printer
to send copies of all bills to Superior
Judges, County Auditors, State Off
GERS and ex-State officers, was voted
down.
The Senate resolution to appoint .
joint committee to prepare bills to cure
defects and supply omissions in Hills
code. as pointed out by the Supreme
ceurt, was passed.
Messrs. Morrison, Judson and Lud-
den were appointed q committee on
joint rules.
The House adjourned until 2 O'Clock
on Monday by vote Of 40 to 80.
The Richards harbor line bill, and
bill for abolishment of the Office oi
Lieutenant Governor, created much
interest in the Senate Monday. The
new harbor bill! provides for the ap.
pointment by the Governor and ap'
provai by the Senate of a commission
Of FIVE members. Two are to be ap
pointed for period Of two years and
three for four years, after which the
regular term will be four years. They
will receive a salary of S. per day and
actual mileage expense.
Acting Governor Laughton's veto
message of the famous snti-Pinkerton
bill, and the bill providing for the 10
cation OF coal mines, which were made
\ special order for Monday, came
up but because OF . question as tC
whether or not the joint rules Of the
last session where still in effect, and in
order to avoid discussion and to bring
the matter up for consideration in .
proper manner at the earliest possible
moment, Rutter OF King moved it,
continuance until Friday at 10 o'clock
for which hour it WAS made special
order.
