The Council in a Parliamen-
 tary Jungle.
MIR. CARPENTER LED THEM
Adams ConarafuIafOrY Resolution Now in Worse Shape Than Be- fore = Sanders Introduces His Bill Providing for an Inspector of MineS-SCoffS Measure to Suppress Gambling.

The legislative mountain labored yesterday with parliamentary law and
 brought forth the mangiest mouse
 imaginable. The council had little real
 work to do, so it indulged in parlia-
 mentary gymnastics, and it cut sorry
 figure. Through the deceptive tactics
 of the willy MT. Carpenter, the demo- l cratic majority put itself in position l from which the surgeon, Hunt. ex-
 tracted it by a caesarian operation of
 the most painful nature. The Elks
 stag party to the legislature on
 Wednasday night, and the humidity of tho atmosphere yesterday morning,
 had this baneful influence, but the
 primary cause of the malady was the virus of senatorial congratulatiOn which has been generating in the sys- tenn of MT. Adams, of the house, and which has now apparently poisoned the whole legislative body.
 Mir. Adams house concurrent resolu- tion congratulating Senator Clark of Montana on his election, which passed the house Wednesday, reached
 the council yesterday morning. MT. Murphy moved to amend by including in the congratulation Senator Stewart Of Nevada. MT Murphy was against such action on principle, but if Clark
 was to be honored by the Arizona leg islature, Stewart should not be ignored, | for the spirit which animated the reso- lution, in his opinion, was purely par | tisan and democratic. He was con- vinced that if Senator Clark was re- publican, notwithstanding his large
 property interests in Arizona. the res olution would not have been intro
 duced. MT. Murphy's amendment was lost on tie vote of to 6, and he then
 moved to table the resolution, which was carried.
 | Late in the afternoon session MT. Hunt was called to the chair and Pres ident Goldwater moved to take the res olution from the table, which carried The question being the adoption of the resolution Mr Murphy moved the adoption of the Stewart amendment, and the minutes show it was adopted. MT. Carpenter moved an amend ment to the amendment, that telegram of condolence be sent the California legislature on it's dead lock in the senatorial election. MT. Wright. against the resolution, moved to lay Carpenters amendment on the table The friends of the resolution fell into the trap and voted aye, MT. Carpenter voting to lay his own amendment on the table. The motion carried by vote of 9 to ,. and the amendment being tabled, the whole subject was in the same position, un- der the rules. i.
 Wright moved to adjourn, which was lost on a tie vote.
 MT Carpenter inquired what was be- fore the house, and the chair ruled that the resolution as amended was under consideration, the amendment to the amendment having been tabled. Wright appealed from the decision of the chair, and the chair was upheld by vote of ' to 5.
 MT. Carpenter moved to table the resolution and all amendments. which was lost on tie vote MT Murphy moved the adoption of the resolution as amended, and MT. Carpenter moved to adjourn. The motion was lost. MT. Murphy repeated his motion, and MT. Carpenter repeated his. He then told MT. Murphy that if he would re- peat his motion he would let it go through MT. Murphy retorted that he would stay with him all week, and this time the resolution as amended was adopted. In it's present status the amended resolution is before the house for concurrence in the amendment, while the amendment to the amend ment is alive and wriggling on the council clerks desk.
 In the early part of the session the council amused itself tangling up mo- tion to adjourn for the balance of the week, and after voting down nearly all the hours of the day, and the balance of the days in the week, it resolved to adjourn to meet Saturday at o'clock. The house agreed to adjourn to Mon day at 10 o'clock This is because leg isaltive work is slack, because tomor- row is Arbor Day. and because most of the members desire to go out to the insane hospital and look at it's demor- aiized condition, so that they can vote intelligently on an appropriation for it's needs. The members generally, will start for the hospital from the city hall at II o'clock this morning.
 MT. Olney, in the council. introduced bill repeating the law creating sani- tary districts and officers. The law makes constables. sanitary officers at a salary of $4 per week. and the expense it might entail is large. Mir Olney says the operation of this law might cost his county s3,O00 year in officers salaries, without any special benefit resulting
 MT. Olney gave notice that he will introduce a bill repeating the law inn pounding animals.
 MT. Murphy gave notice that he will introduce a bill to regulate railroad passenger fares.
