TIE HOUSE.

The house yesterday morning took up
the senate bill to prevent delinquent tax
payers from pleading the statute Of limi-
tation and passed it by n vote of 30 to 3,
after defeating an amendment offered by
Mr.. Jennings, providing that the act
should not apply to any person who at the
time of its passage is entitled to any
right of limitation. Messrs. Bumpass,
Nix and Cooke voted against the bill.
Committee substitute house bill No. 3,
relating to the investment of The perma-
nent school fund, was laid before the
house on second reading. Mr.. Mills
moved to adopt the favorable committee
report thereon and Mr.. Mckinney moved
TO substitute therefor senate bill No. 6
on the same subject When the latter
read II couldn't be found. An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to table Mr..
McKinney's motion to substitute, and the
whole matter was postponed until 3
o'clock in the afternoon, it having been
ascertained that the lost bill was in the
hands Of the printer.
Substitute house bill No. 6. providing
for certain corrections in the general ap-
preparation bill, was next read and il
was discovered that in some way this
bill, like the preceding one. had gotten
considerably mixed up somewhere, which
necessitated postponement of the matter
until this afternoon.
Majority and minority reports on the
resolutions introduced last night to allow
the chaplain, officers, clerks, etc. of the
house extra compensation to enable them
to come out even on their expenses during
the session were received. The majority
report recommended that the resolutions
besnot adopted and Mr.. Jennings moved
to substitute the minority report there
for Davis of Falls read from the con-
stitution to show that the minority re-
port was contrary to the spirit thereof.
Evans of Hunt favored the minority re-
port and as usual seized the opportunity
to make n speech, which was listened to
patiently as there was no way of escap-
ing it. Mr.. O'Neal defended the minority
report and explained away the apparent
constitutional objections thereto. Mr.
Wester spoke in support of the majority
report and stated that he was rot ready
to accept Evans of Hunt Interpretation

gentleman has been putting himself on

fight bill was unconstitutional after vot-

An active debate ensued on this resolu-
ton, which was finally ruled out of order
on point of order raised by Mr.. Jen-
nings.
A message from the senate was receiv-
ed announcing the passage by that body
of bill barring delinquent tax payers
from pleading the statute of limitation.
Mr.. O'Neal had spread upon the Jour-
nal motion which he gave notice he
would call up tomorrow to reconsider
the vote by which Messrs. Spillane, Mon
roe, Seabury, Plemmons, Townsend of
Angelina and Watkins had been excused
this morning.
The vote by which the house declined
to strike Mr.. Morrison's name from the
roll was reconsidered and his name was
stricken from the roll on account of
resignation.

ton reported favorably upon the senate
bill preventing delinquent tax payers
from pleading the statute of limitation

There was little doing in legislative cir
cles yesterday. The senate was in ses-
sion all day, waiting on the house to fin
ish up it's bills and send them over, but
finally had to adjourn without doing any
thing, owing to the fact that the house
was debating over two of the bills at
some length. The senator's spent most
of the day in lolling around the chamber
reading papers and talking. Every once
in while a resolution or something of
the sort would occupy little time, but
as soon as this was disposed of the old
languor would return and the members
made themselves at ease once again.
All the members are eager for Monday
and final adjournment to come. Some of
the senators left last night for their
homes, but working quorum will be left
in command of the situation. This was
arranged by previous agreement be-
tween the senators and enough will be on
hand today to transact all necessary
business. The house is still pretty well
filled, though quite a number of the mem
bers say they want to skip out for home
today or tomorrow at the very latest.
They are all very glad that they got
through in such good time and will now

platforms next year in the campaign

THE SCHOOL FUND BILL.


The following is the bill introduced in
the senate last afternoon by Senator
Beall:
A bill to be entitled "An act to amend
article 1898 of the Revised Civil Stat
utes of the State of Texas, relating to
fund"
Section 1. Be it enacted by the legisla-
ture OF the State of Texas: That arti-
Gle 1898 of the Revised Civil Statutes
of the State of Texas be amended so
that hereafter it shall read as follows:
Article 1898. Nothing in the preceding
article shall be so construed as to relieve
the comptroller or the board of educa-
ton from the duty of careful examine
ton of any bonds offered as an invest
ment for the permanent public free
school fund of the State, an investiga-
ton to the facts tending to show the
value and validity thereof, and such
board OF education may decline to pur-
chase the same unless satisfied that
they are a safe and proper investment
for such funds; and no county bonds
shall be purchased as an investment for
the permanent public free school fund
that do not bear interest at the rate of
at least D per cent per annum, and it
shall be the duty of the board of educa-
ton and comptroller to decline to pur-
chase the bonds of any county whose
Indebtedness, inclusive of the bonds so
offered, shall exceed per cent of the
assessed value of the real estate in
such county, and if default be made in
the. payment of interest when due upon
such bonds, the board of education may,
at any time prior to the payment of
such overdue interest elect to treat the
principal as also due, and the same shall
thereupon, at the option of the board of
education, become due and payable, and
the payment of both such principal and
interest shall in all cases be enforced in
such manner as is or may be prescribed
by law, and the right to enforce such col
lection shall never be barred by any
law or limitation whatever.
Sec. 2. The fact that large amount
of permanent school fund has accumu-
lated in the State treasury which can
not be invested under existing laws, Gre
ates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity requiring that the CON
sstitutional rule providing that bills shall
be read in each house on three several
days be suspended, and that this act
take effect from it's passage, and it is
so enacted
