terday in the effort to find something to do and they finally found it. MT. Wright, in the council, presented a concurrent resolution that when the legislature adjourn Wednesday after noon it adjourn until next Monday It was adopted and sent over to the house. The house objected to the word "ad- journ" and amended the resolution so that a recess" would be taken from Wednesday until Monday. With this amendment it returned to the council, which body refused to concur in the amendment On motion of MT. Car penter a committee of two from each house was appointed to confer on the amendment Messrs. Moore and Parr, on the part of the house, and Wright and Bunch, for the council, met, and with the aid of a young lady type writer decided that the house should receda from it's determination to take a recess" and adjourn" With the council, and that this resolution be adopted without amendment"
 When the result of the conference was made known to the house MT. Scott moved that the question be split" in order that the resolution might be further amended. This was considered in order by the chair, and the body then voted to accept the re- port of the conference committee so far as it related to receding from the recess but it then voted to amend inc amended resolution as returned by the couScil so that it would adjourn" from Tuesday until Monday next. It was again sent to the council and read. The council at this time had no official knowledge that the house had accepted the report of the conference committee. President Goldwater said something about a hiatus" existing in the house, and the house clerk th5n brought :n the balance of the report, tc the effect tha5 the hoIse had receded from it's amendment by accepting the report of it's conference committee.
 Here was q pretty kettle of fshi The house record showed that on mo ton of MT. Scott the report of the conference committee had been ac- cepted and the committee discharged. This report was that the house recede from it's amendment and that this resolution be adopt ad without amend ment." Notwiths. landing. the house had amended the resolution, on motion of MT. Doan, and sent it back for the concurrence Of the council. MT. Wright moved that the resolution lie on the table, and it was so ordered. Both bodies are exactly where they started on the question of "adjourning- or taking a recess urtil next Mon day. To all inten $ and purposes both bodies will adjourn this afternoon un- til next Monday. They may decide upon the form of doing it today. As either can adjourn today until next Monday without the consent of the other, it doesn't make much difference inc ernnpT-o1 h,Ip hnW fhe if It is probable that the members re- maining in Phoenix will keep up the legislative day by meeting each day and adjourning
