 The council committee refused to consider the house amendment giving 5 200 to the Phoenix newspapers for publishing the proceedings, on the par liamentary ground that the house has no right to amend it's own bill. and had once stricken out this provision.
 The house concurred in the appropri- ation of $4,5O0 for the O'Neill monu- ment.
 The council adopted the report.
 The house refused to adopt the re- port on the O'Neill monument appro- prjatiCn, but adopted the balance
 Another conference was requested and Messrs Moore, Doan and Donau were appointed from the house to con- fer on the printing and the O'Neill ap- prOpIiation
 They met Messrs. Olney, Wright and Carpenter from the council.
 They reported at 10:55 that the printing of the geclogist's repeat only would remain in subdivision 2,, and that the O'Neill monUment-slib- -iivis- ion 29-remain. The council aGup1ed the report, but the house prOtesje1 against not including pay for printing the biennial reports. It agreed 10 pay for the geolcgist's report, but refused by unanimous vote to adopt the bal ance of the report on printing. Tine house also refused to accept the O'Nein monument provision.
 It was now 11:15 o'clock by the clock on the wall, and another conference committee was appointed. by the house this time MT. Benham and Mr Scott.
 Fu,.her conference on the subject was refused by the council. The bill was now passed except the apprGpria- tions fer printing the biennial reports and for the O'Neiu monument. The latter was evidently weakening, but the printers bill was gaining strength in the house. There everybody was itr champion, and it was apparent that there would be no surrender until the printers money was III sight.
 Mir. Goldwater spoke against further conference and declared that he would adjourn the council at midnight. He recalled the time when the republican from Yuma" (Mr Carpanter) had let fall the gavel and ended the life Of the assembly, and the democrat from YavaEai,' he said, would be as brave as he.
 Midnight passed but no adjournment came. Being asked why the gayel ,l;d rot fall MT. Goldwater said the repub- hcans, including the governor, had asked him to hold on to see if {, cont promise was not possible.
 The council, as a final compromise, passed a resolution which was in cf- feet that it would agree to tue bill if 23 and % were both talk en out. Thus was the council trading the ONeill monument for the house printing bill.
 The resolution was offered to the hcuse, and it was soon appar3nt that the monument item would 50. The deadlock remained Un the r,inters' bill. It was universally defended. Members began to argue that the en- tire bill should net be sacrificed for The sake of this one item, but the printers would not yield. Up 10 this time it had been repeatedly announced that the only possible way for the bills to be paid was by this appropriation.
 Finally, the attorney general made the statement that in law the claims wel e good against the territCry and the auditor made the statement on the house floor that he would draw the warrants and would be responsible for the m.
 This removed the house objection, and notice was given the council that it's resolution had been adopted. This action passed the bill shortly after O clock by the clocks on the hall, but t might have been day before yester- cay by the presiding officers watches. | Nil Murphy moved that recess oI ore hour be taken while the bill was be- ing enrolled.
