port progress on Fl. B, No. SO, which was
ordered.
The conference committee reported on
H. B. No. 81, distributing the fund of
$4,000, and recommended that Fl. B. No.
81, be adopted with the following amend
ments, that the insane asylum receive
$4,000; the school of mines $4,000; the
Worlds fair commission, $4,000; and
the San Juan county experiment station
$4,000.
Mr.. Stoval moved the adoption Of the
report.
The speaker ruled that the report could
only be received"
Mr.. Hopewell then rose to a point of
order and insisted that he had right to
make the motion and have it put to the
house.
The speaker did not rule on this but
called Mr.. Barela to the chair and after
making vigorous speech against the
bill moved the previous question.
Questions of privilege and points OF
order by the half dozen were made.
The speaker pro tenn ruled that the mo-
tion to adopt report did not carry the
bill.
The previous question was ordered and
the report adopted.
| Mr.. Hopewell then moved to reconsider
the vote of adoption and to lay that mo-
ton on the table.
Mr.. Read moved to lay Mr.. Hopewelrs
motion on the table. The latter was
lost, and the question recurring, Mr.. Hope
wells motion prevailed.
Mr.. Hopewell moved to put the bill on
| its passage.
The speaker held that this could not
be done without suspension of the rules
by two-third vote, as the bill was out OF
it's regular order.
! Mr.. Barela held that under the mo-
ton of reference the bill was special
order.
The journal was examined and found
to support this assertion.
Mr.. Hopewell asked that the bill be
read as amended by the committee.
Mr.. Barela moved to resolve into COM
mittee of the whole.
Mr.. Read moved to adjourn, which was
lost.
The bill was then read in committee;
and Mr. Read moved that the committee
rise and report progress, which was or
dered.
With the speaker in the chair Mr.. Hope
we'll took the floor.
Mr.. Read tried to get the floor on points
of order, and then moved to adjourn until
next Tuesday.
The speaker ruled that the motion could
not be made unless the gentleman secured
the floor in his own right.
Mr.. Hopewell contended that if the
gentleman who we're more interested IN
this measure did not care to press its
passage of course he would not continue
his efforts; but he wanted to say that there

the journal.
Mr.. Read addressed the house and said
that so far as the Worlds fair was con

Mr.. Hopewell, but he could not tack or
