JURY COMMISSIONER FIGHT.
Yesterday morning Representative
Donahoe renewed his fight against the
bill providing for the drawing by COM
missioners Of jurors for service in the
county courts. He moved that the
vote by which the bill was passed be
reconsidered. Mr.. Robertson made the
point Of order that the three days a.
lowed for reconsideration had ex-
pired.
Speaker Clark refused to sustain
him in his contention.
Their Mr.. Robertson raised another
point Of order, which was that it was
practically the same bill as that al
ready reconsidered, and that second
reconsideration Of the vote was clearly
out Of order.
On motion of Mr.. McNulty the mat
ter was made the special order for 2.3C
O'clock in the afternoon, that the
speaker might make a careful study
of the question before ruling upon It

cided that the vote on the bill could
not be reconsidered. giving as his au-
thorities Reed, Cushing, Crisp and
Smith Mr.. Donahoe asked what was

scarcely anyone was aware that tn,
speaker had reversed his own ruling
by entertaining the motion.

be recommitted, without naming tn,
