THE HOUSE RECEDES

and the Measure Il Pascal
Wedding Takes Place liz the
House Of Representatives.

Austin. Oct. 2.-The second special
session Of the Twenty.seventh legisla.
ture came 10 an end at 1880 O'Clock last
night very quietly and tamely. The
senate In the morning promptly refused
10 grant another conference on the gen.
eral appropriation bill Before the house
went TO dinner ID receded from its posi-
ton Of Monday and adopted the report
Of the conference committee. Then Il
knocked of until 1880 in the evening.
to give the enrolling clerk time TO enroll
the bill. Both branches Of the legisla-
ture met then for the last time the bill
was signed and adjournment sine die
taken.
The total Of this appropriation bill Is
o.. 752, 6s5. as compared with 81. $50, 32s,
the total Of the bill passed by the Tween.
ty-sixth legislature. Each legislature,
however, made special appropriation by
bills other than the general appropria.
ton bill. When these are taken into
consideration the total appropriation of
the Twenty.seventh exceeded those Of
Of the Twenty-sixth only s29a. 9i5. This
difference is amply accounted for by the
increase in Confederate pensions, the
creation OF new normal school and the
increased expenses Of the general land
Office occasioned by the opening Of land
70 settlement.
II is not thought that the governor
will keep the bill more than a week.
He has known in general way for the
last six months about what the bill
would be. He therefore knows pretty
well what he will do with the bill.
The state government has been peg
ging along without appropriations since
Aug. 81. and IL is believed that the gov.
ernor will send the appropriation bill 70
the secretary Of state early next week.
so that the boys can get their Septem.

what he intends doing with the general
investigation resolution. He can take

lature to act on IL. Should he approve
