committee on education and it was so re-
ferred.
Mr.. Barstow for the finance committee
reported back a resolution to appropriate
$500 for the use OF the commissioners OF

Mr.. Gray thought that the sum Of
$500 was too much money for that
purpose and asked Mr.. Root to explain
the necessity, and Mr.. Root stated that
the number of commissioners had been
increased and that their duties had
been multiplied TO such an extent
that the appropriation asked for
was none too large to carry on the work.
Mr.. Rowland spoke in favor OF the reso-
luton and said that it waJ very strange
for the House to object TO

useful purpose, after having railroaded

such very important service. The resolu-
tion was passed unanimously.

The Senate.

The Senate.
Soon after the Senate was called to order
this morning, and before the minutes
could be read, the clerk OF the House APP
peared with large budget of business.
The acts to incorporate the Elmwood
Temple Congregational Church, the
D'Espirito Santo Association, the Free
baptist Society OF Cranston, the
Atna Association of Pawtucket and
the Father Mathew Temperance So
cisty were referred to the committee
on education; the acts TO incorporate the
Newport Steam Laundry, the Industrial
Mutual Insurance Company, the Rhode
Island Perkins Horseshoe Company and
the Travellers Mutual Insurance Company
to the committee on corporations.
The resolution to change the name OF
Emma Lucretia Scott was referred to the
judiciary committee, as was the resolu-
tion empowering the Board of Aldermen
OF the city OF Pawtucket to
pass, amend and repeal ordinances
relative tc the erection, construction and
inspection of buildings, and the resolu-
tion authorizing the city OF Providence to
issue bonds to the amount of $500, 900 for
highway, and 100000 for school pur-
poses.
Senator Easton of Pawtucket then in
troduced a joint resolution OF adjourn
ment and asked that it be put upon ito
passage. The resolution provided that
when the Assembly adjourned on Friday,
March %, 1t adjourn to meet according to
law. .....t
Mr.. Freeman objected to the passage OF
the resolution, and hoped that it would
be laid upon the table. He thought that
the attempt at reform was premature, and
and would do no good.
Mr.. Easton insisted upon his motion,
however, so Mr.. Freeman moved that 1t
be indefinitely postponed. He said that
1t had already been suggested that the
Assembly take q recess from the last Of
this week until after election and he
thought this would be more satisfactory.
Mr.. Champlin moved that the matter
be referred to the judiciary committee,
but Senator Watson OF South Kingstown
and Senator Coggeshall supported Mr..
Freeman. The motion was put and the
resolution was indefinitely postponed by
an almost unanimous vote.
On the recommendation of the commit
tee on accounts and claims the bills of
George A. Littlefield, Benjamin York,
Bicknell & Hudson, Richard 8. Kean, the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals and Edgar l.. Arnold were
ordered paid.
An act amending the law in relation to
medical examiners and coroney by de-
creasing the number already engaged was
presented by Senator Kenyon and referred
to the committee ON judiciary.
Senator Kenyon also called the bill of
the commissioners on the condemnation
of State House land from the table and
moved its indefinite postponement. The
motion was carried without opposition.
The Senate was then adjourned.
