prevail, a bill for an act relating to
tuition in certain territorial educational
institutions. My reason for so doing is
that the measure reached me at such
late hour, and while so many other
very important bills were before me,
that it has been absolutely impossible
for me to consider the numerous OBJ
jections which have been urged against
the BILL
Allen asked when the bill had been
sent, and was told "On Saturday"
VARIETY FOR SPICE.
In order to relieve the minds Of the
Republicans to some extent, a message
was then read notifying the members
of the approval of an act to provide
labor upon the public roads in the sew
ertal counties, by allowing the issuance
of warrants, and an act to provide for
the payment of clerks and others
around the halls.
ANOTHER VETO.
The bill to exempt manufacturing
institutions from taxation was vetoed
in the following words:
81 herewith return an act to encour-
age the establishment of certain man
ufacturing institutions within the ter
ritory of Utah, without my approval.
for the following reasons: An act of
vides as follows:
BE it enacted, etc, that the Legis-
latures of the territories of the United
States, now or hereafter to be organ
lied, shall not pass local or special
laws in any of the following cases, that
is to say, granting to any corporation
association or individual, any special
or exclusive privilege, immunity or
franchise, whatever.
This bill, it seems. to me, comes
sGuarely within the letter of this act,
and is prohibited by it.
again, I think the discrimination IN
favor of certain industries is unfair
ard unjust to the great body of the peo-
pie of the territory
FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
The auditor transmitted the financial
statement of Wayne and Emery coun-
ties. They will be incorporated in the
Journal.
VARIAN AT IT AGAIN.
Immediately upon the ending of the
reading of these documents Varian, who
had been watching proceedings close
ly, jumped to his feet and said he had
a resolution to offer.
A DEMAND FOR JUSTICE.
Powers was up Immediately endeav-
Oring to secure the attention of the
chair. Succeeding in this, he called the
attention of the Speaker to the fact
that he had withheld his motion to re-
fer the communication from the Gov
ernor on appropriations to the commit
tee on ways and means, only because
the understanding that the motion
would have the right of way over
everything when the reading was fin
ished.
A SHORT MEMORY.
The Speaker did not remember his
promise and further did not remem-
Der that Powers motion had received
a second. Therefore he ruled Varian' S
resolution in oruer.
Powers protested but to no effect.
TO ADJOURN.
The clerk read the following resolu-
ton by Varian:
Whereas, the business of the ses-
sion has been concluded, and the hour
for adjournment having arrived be it
Resolved, by the House, the Council
concurring, that the Legislative AS
sembly do adjourn sine die.
Immediately on the reading of the
resolution Varian called for the pre-
vious question and the vote on that
was taken by ayes and noes.
STANFORD STOOD FIRM.
AS the roll call proceeded it looked
as though the vote would be on strict
party lines, as all the Republicans vot-
ed AYE" and the Democrats mo- I'M
til Stanford's name was reached, when
that member, who has not been in
caucus for six weeks, said mo" en-
phatically. The result was is to 8.
The roll was then called on the res
olution, with the same result Pow
ers explained that he voted mo" be-
cause it would be wrong to leave the
finances of the territory in such a state
as was contemplated, and that the peo-
pie would be injured.
A RECESS.
Allen asked that the resolution be
transmitted Immediately to the Council
and then the formal session broke UP
for a time while the House awaited
the action of the upper body. Most of
the members went into the House of
Lords to hear the debaters, others
strolled down stairs for a few mo-
ments. while some Republicans gath
cred in groups and tried to justify
themselves in their own eyes for their
babyish and i'll considered actions. The
Waterman fixed the clock so that it
could be started again as soon as nee
essary.
A FIGHT.
Upon the passage of the resolution
by the Council verbal notice was
brought in and Varian suggested an
immediate adjournment.
A PROTEST.
Powers, however, protested against
such thing He wanted the execu-
tive to be properly notified that the ia
bic was clear and the awaiting of an
answer. Besides this it would be too
great a wrong to make no provision
for paying the just debts of the terri-
tory. He did not believe the course
suggested would be right. He moved
the Governor be notified.
Varian said the Governor had been
notified the day before but had taken
no notice of the communication
Powers said business had interviewed
and another notice was necessary.
He was abruptly shut off by the
Speaker, who said the former notice
was sufficient. Hubbard suggested that
business had interviewed.
BACK AGAIN.
Official notice came from the Council
of the passage of the resolution on ad-
journment and Allen said the time had
come to declare the House adjourned
sine die.
QUEER PROCEEDINGS
Powers was on his feet protesting
against the irregularity and discourte-
sly of the proceedings and demanding
that his protest be made a matter of
record, but the Speaker took no notice
of him and bringing down his gaveI
sharply declared the House adjourned
sine die.
THE END.
The minutes have the following curl
Gus entry:

tatives Of the thirty-first session of
