Hon. E. V. Chavez and Editor j. Il
McCutcheon were interested spectators
in the house this forenoon.
Hon. @. W. Kennedy, of Albuquerque
staunch advocate for Summit county, il
among the visitors at the house this
afternoon.
The house judiciary committee has
elected r. L. Baca, son of Representative
Baca, as its clerk, vice Mrs. Alice Casey
Booher, resigned.
Mr.. Mora introduced bill to-day pro-
viding that town marshals be elected by
the people at the same time that other
municipal officers are elected.
The house is working in very dead
earnest and refused to take its usual holt
day for Sunday. 1t held both morning
and afternoon sessions to-day.
Representatives Martin and Carr had
quite passage of words in the debate on
the school bill question this morning.
Mr.. Carr also seems to "hate dull time.'
Mr.. Sanchez, this morning, reiterated
that he was."a son of God and heir of
glory" and accordingly voted "no" on
a question involving the pay for legisla-
tive employees forseveral days after ad-
journment.
Mr.. Carr this morning introduced a
bill making the law recently enacted over
the governors veto, postponing tax pay
meut to July l, apply only to taxes for
territorial purposes. The same bill
postpones date for delinquent tax sales
from March to October.
The territorial institutions played in
great luck this morning. The several
house committees recommended favor
ably bills relating to the Las Cruces col
lege, the Silver City normal school, the
Las Vegas normal school, the Las Vegas
insane asylum and the proposed Cerrillos
normal school.
Speaker Dame is so seldom wrong in
his parliamentary rulings that an excep-
ton is worthy of note. In the house
yesterday his decision to the effect that
unanimous consent is necessary to recall
bill from a committee room was, on
appeal to the house, overruled by vote
of 7 to 10. This is the first occasion on
which the house has refused to stand by
the speaker and it will probably be the
last.
most important bill was that intro
duced to-day by Mr.. Locke by request.
The bill provides for the holding of dis
trict courts in the several districts, the
expense of the same to be paid by the
territorial treasurer upon warrants ap-
proved by the Judge of the district. Not
more than $500 of such warrants shall
be honored from the courts of the 1st
district; $4,000 from the 4th district; nor
more than $3.50 in any one of the other
districts.
Col. j. G. Albright says that the state
ment of the Albuq uerque Citizen that he
had taken drink of the ardent in which
was intermixed croton oil and that his
interior department had thereby become
fearfully disarranged is base invention
of the enemy, In the first place he begs
to remind the public that he has sworn
off until Missouri goes Democratic again.
In the second place he states that the
publication is dastardly insinuation
that he does not know pure stuff when
he tastes it, He says that he can prove
by dozen witnesses that after the very
first quaf from the cup he discovered the
imposition and ordered something else of
the purity and strength so acceptable to
former Missourians,
