Laugenour moved that A. B. AT the
| appropriation bill, which was the special
! order, be referred back to the Ways and
| Means Committee. His reason for so do
! ing was that while he and Mr.. LleWellyn
were absent on a committee visit they
! telegraphed 20 the Chairman of the com
nittee, asking him to delay his report Tor
one day, but he did not do SO. He thought
| the Assembly might DO the TWO members
| OF the committee the courtesy TO let them
have hand in making the report.

sence of q Democratic member of the
| committee on Junk citing trip'' should

amendments.

was alluded to by the gentleman as q
'JunkeIIng trip" was on business he had
been sent to attend to by the Assembly.

| TO propose. One item in the bill was an
appropriation OF so, 900 for the State Ag-
| ricuItural Society, which everyone knew
| was sacramento institution, while other
| important things were cut down. gsss,
| Brusie denied that the society was a
Sacramento institution. Any amend
ments the gentleman wished to offer
| could be done on reading.
! LaugenOur's motion was lost and the
| bill read the second time.
! Bledsoe offered an amendment, but
| Brusie raised the point OF order that
amendments could only he offered in
| Committee of the Whole, and the Speaker
sustained the point
BIedsoe then moved that it be made the
special order for Monday morning.

ton was made on account OF the wOman's
suffrage bill. Members had had plenty
of opportunity to examine the bill.

this morning and they had not had time
to examine II.

order for Friday at IL O'Clock, aud the

soon as possible. He changed his motion
to resolution, and it was adopted.

certainty about the present status OF the
woman's suffrage bill, he would suggest
that it be considered on next Monday
evening at ! O'Clock.
s3wisler moved that the constitutional
amendment be considered at the same
time.
Bachman said he was opposed to the
bill, but favored the constitutional
amendment, and thought every other
member would vote Tor it. He objected
TO mixing the two up together They
should be Kept separate so that they
could be lairly and freely discussed.
