Rather Lively Session of the Lower
Branch Of the Assembly.

There was no session o'the senate today
as that BODY adjourned yesterday until
tomorrow. rhe House, however, held
quite an important session and one that
will have quite an interest for he citizens
OF PaWtuckct.
After the appropriation bill, which was
left on the Speakers desk yesterday after
adjournment, was sent TO the Finance
Committee today, and also ptne resolution
making an additional appropriation of
$4,000 for the Agricultural College at
Kingston, that committee was authorized
to give public hearings.
This, Of course, Is very essential as the
House has az yet no data before II upon
which to base the probable income of he
State, "a neither the State Auditor or
General Treasurer has IA yet submitted
his annual report, showing To what
particular uses the State funds went
last year, or what source the
State may expect TO receive the money for
this years appropriations. DIR. Garvln
of Cumberland then presented a resolu-
tion which caused quite commotion.

noon tomorrow for tho purpose Of count
ing the votes cast last April ana electing
officers.
In the resolution was a preamble re

Senators to do so under their oath Of Of

tinusd violation OF the constitution bv
refusing To accept the invitation of the
House TO perform that necessary aud I'M
portant duty.
Dr. Garvin delivered an able argument
upon the existing differences, rociting he
history OF the jamestown and Westerly
cases, which the Senate bnlos to bo the
points OF disagreement and their reason
for refusing TO join the House In Grand
Committee for the purpose set forth in
the resolution then pending.

he tried 10 ne tacatious, hut even then
his remarks had such hoaylness ABOUT
them that he could not como up to his
style OF last year when he had a plant
majority at his back.
The resolution was passed by viva
yoce vote, the Rcpubl leans votng no, but
not going as far as TO nsk for cit her roll
call or a division.
The bill OF the town ~ South Kingstown
against the State was laid ON he table
