morning at II O'clock in conformity with
the proclamation of proroguement byGov.
Brown at Newport on June 2, 1893, made
Imperative by the revolutionary action of
the House in its refusal to assent TO the
time and place of adjournment. The or
der OF proceedings will follow the estab-
lished form. The roll will be called TO
determine the presence OF a quorum, and
then rules of order will be adopted which
were not established at the May session
in the light OF the independent attitude
of the House. An amendment
TO the existing rules will probably
be made providing that resolutions to
meet in grand committee shall be laid
over for one day SO that the House may
be prohibited from stealing march
on that body by attempting to force
joint meeting until all the senator's are.
present. Rev. j. q. Vose, ID. d., pastor OF
the the Benefcent Congregational
Church v sl be chaplain OF the day, and
will offer prayer, Senotor-elect Coggeshall
OF Bristol will take the oath of office. The
governor will then announce the appoint
ment of committees, and the inaug-
ural message will be read and
The appropriation bill will be introduced
mittee. The action of the House will de-
termine the course of the committee
and the Senate as TO reporting
and passing the bill after a reasonable
time has been afforded. There has been
no proposition entertained to pass the
bill at once and take an adjourn
ment for two days. There
is no disposition TO assume
any immediate arbitrary policy unless
conditions arise which are regarded as
essential TO repetition of the course pur-
sued at Newport by determined disagree
mept on the part of the House.
House Policy Not Defined Yet.
The House majority tried TO agree upon
line of policy a week ago, in soul
stirring caucus, and signally failed as was
predicted. Boss Honey led the milk
and-water contingent which wanted
TO surrender to the dictum
OF the Supreme Court and transact bust
ness. Speaker Owen, backed up by Sen
ator Miller, counselled war and the two
factions monopoIized the greater part of
the day in violent and unseem-
ly quarreling. They will review
at 10 o'clock, and the result is hing
forecast. The appropriation bill is the
point at issue, aud it is destined to cut a
big figure in the spring campaign
which the session is destined to inaugur-
ate. In all human probability the caucus
will last longer than an hour. Ambrose
West will not be called upon to sound
the tocsin, for Joe Mullen will be on
hand. The seats will be in
position, and the majority, mindful of the
Garvin rule, No. so must seize upon the
desks on Speaker, Owens fright" The
chaplain, whatever his political affiliations
may be, will possibly invoke a spirit
OF harmony and charity which
may fall on strong ground. This pro-
ceedurc OF course is dependent upon an
agreement in caucus, otherwise the SER
vices of clergyman can be dispensed
with. The House adopted its rules
at Newport and won't have TO
bother with them nor with the
announcement of committees. There is a
lively contest TO be waged over the choice
of doorkeeper, between the French
Canadian of Woonsocket and ex-Deputy
Sheriff Sheahan of Providence.
What the House May Do.
IL may take the opportunity
TO announce to the Senate
that it hasyorganissd and is ready to pro-
ceed with the business of the session in
recognition of the Senate courtesy. 1t may
however, receive notice of Hugh Carroll's
contest for the seat of James l..
jerks of Pawtucket and of Joseph
Vaughan desire TO unseat S. w. X. AL
len OF East Greenwich, but il is reported
that Mr.. Allen may be allowed to remain
80 L., ~
Hugh has not shown any consuming de-
sire TO vent his spite on Coroner jerks.
How VIII IL Receive the Governors
Message?
There is some doubt as to the reception
which will be given to the Governors
message. IL may be read or referred to
the judiciary committee of which
Boss Henry is chairman. Speaker
Owen IL he consulted his own
preference would probably like to toss the
document in the waste basket as he did
the governors notification of adjournment
at Newport. II the appropriation
bill is held temporarily in the Senate, DR..
Garvin, Representative Mccarthy and
Others may work in some OF their pet la
Dor agitation bills, and incidentally
sonnet thing may be introduced
about n constitutional convention. IL
the appropriation bill comes down il is
likely to be referred TO the finance COM
mittee unless il shall be determined
i'm cnucus 10 concur and
thereby. as it Is claimed.
rob the Republicans OF much political
powder TO be utilized i'm the April election.
II can be safely predicted, however, that
the bclligcrents will bring the strongest
pressure to bear to defeat such vital con-
cession 10 the Senate, especially as that
satisfactorily solved.
a Resume of the Conditions.
Owing TO the. complicated conditions
that have arisen since the April election.
