SPECIAL ORDERS.
Belshaw's organization bill, No. 14O,
was read the second time, subjected to
numerous amendments, among which
the most important was Hart North s,

bill restrictive and limiting the expense
of organization of each house to S40O.

When Cutter Of Sutter and Yuba Of
fered well-meant resolution in sympa-
thy with Cuba, it is doubtful if he real
travel on it's way to the Governor. 1t
went to the Committee on Federal Re-
lations where it was worked over into a
committee substitute, which was pre-
sented to the House, together with a
minority report from Dryden. Both
were read and printed in the journal
On Wednesday by a misunderstanding
the matter was brought up in Dryden s
absence and the majority resolution
adopted and transmitted to the Senate
Dryden felt this to be a discourtesy, and
criticised the majority's report pretty
sharply. He was allowed to move for
reconsideration, the vote was given him
and the resolution again travelled the
whole width of the Capitol from the
Senate. Yesterday morning Dryden had
his opportunity. His own minority re-
port calling for immediate recognition of
the independence of Cuba was read and
he delivered a lengthy Grafton. But
his own resolution was lost. Cutter
made speech and the old travel-worn
resolution was again adopted and again
went it's way to the upper house.
