 The motion was seconded and carried.
 Mir.

Chairman, if permitted, that the Portlo1, of the report as to the state @ SIe Genera, e,id be referred back to the committee upon that subject, so that we may hear from them hereafter.
 The Chair-It seems to me that that motion Is out of order, Mir. Deuprey, un- less you make 1t as an amendment.
