the United States. This resolution, at
Mr.. Boatner'S request, had been re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee. Mr..
Reilly thought it should be properly
referred to his committee.
| Mr.. Bailey made the point Of order
that Mr.. Reilly had not been author
| lied by his committee to move the
Ichange Of reference. The chair suS-
tanned the point of order.
| The Senate amendments to the Sem
ate bill to charter the Iowa and Ne
braska Bridge company and to con-
Istruct a high wagon bridge at Sioux
lefty, Iowa, were agreed to.

attorneys, so as to provide that $4,000
of the amount be expended in the en-
iployment of several counsel in the case
of the Southern Pacific railroad to set
aside United States patents now pend
ling at Los Angeles.

lon the ground that it changed laws.

men of the army and navy TO wear a
badge on public occasions. on motion
of Mr.. Oouthwaite, was agreed to.
