in the matter.

the extent of cent in this matterhe SIM
ply lies" here interposed Mr.. Victory.
"The gentleman from Santa Fe can't
brighten me-" continued Mr.. Chaves.
81 repeat it, if the gentleman insists
upon his statement, he lies" repeated Mr..
Victory.
Mr.. Chaves continued his argument
against the BILL and at the conclusion Mr..
Victory gained the floor.
Mr.. Victory stated that most of the in
debtedness had been incurred subsequent
to his term of Office, and that the only
debt contracted while he was superin-
tendent was one for the item of furniture.
He said that not an iota of financial in
terest had he in the matter and that he
urged it simply as matter of justice to
his constituents.
Mr. Perea made few remarks on the
sub ject, stating that it was the second
time that he and the gentleman from
Santa Fe had had bout.
"And that he has impeached your
veraoity," interposed some one laughing
ly.
"No, he didn't call me liar; he called
the gentleman from Valencia LIAR

Mr.. Abeyta introduced G. J. R. No. 8,
providing for an appropriation for the
mileage and expenses of the members of
the recent council committees appointed
to visit the territorial institutions. The
resolution allowed $1U each per day and
mileage at the rate of 10 cents mile.
Mr.. Bunker said that the provisions of
the measure were grossly extravagant,
that the members had all ridden on passes
and that the resolution was simply out
rageous. He said that the only compen-
sation that was proper was actual ex-
penses.
Mr.. Ancheta agreed fully with Mr..
Bunker, except that he did not believe
that even actual expenses should be de-
manded as the members we're on their
per diem during their absence.
Mr.. Larragoite moved to table the res
olutiDn indefinitely, which motion pre-
vailed by vote of 10 to 2, Messrs. Abey.

II move to suspend the rules to con-
slider this BILL" said Mr.. Abeyta.
IT object" repeated Mr.. Desmarais.
'The motion is for suspension of the
rules, if the gentleman from San Miguel
only knew what he was doing here" an.
grily exclaimed Mr.. Larragolte.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Abeyta to sus
pend the rules, the vote was tie, Mr.
Bunker explaining his negative vote by
the statement that H. B. No. 112, now in
