oo,nITTEE WORK has now become the !
s.s,rre Of the special session. The house
.asav adjourned until Monday and the
sts while IL did not do the same
.,,nr as was confidently expected, is re-
ssstnIne in session simply for the purpose
= tncn,ne the members here In order
10. they may appear before the redls-
,.,,,,og snbcommttees when matters of
.o,al interest to their respective con
s.,.,oncles are under consideration. The
ra,ious apportionment committees are
ain grinding away, but SO far nothing
-ssl,v tangible has been accomplished.
a, n the committees will. 1t Is thought,
s,entnally begin the holding of executive
sessions In order that a minimum amount
Il interruption from outside sources may
be brought about.
4 BILL which Is expected to have the eff
fect OF Fastening the work of redistrlct-
a. will he introduced in the house by
REPRESENTATIVE Satterwhite Monday, or as
,soon thereafter as possible. This measure
rrovldes for the repeal Of the bill Great
ne the present congressional districts,
which bill was passed by the Twenty
second legislature. If the special session
does not succeed In completing the reds
,rietlnr of the State and If Satterwhite's
bIll passes. Texans will have an oppor-
tunIty Of doing very unusual thing by
voting for sixteen congressman mt large
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE appointed to
Investigate the bank matter was in ex-
ecutire session all day. A number of
tnaOl
secretary OF State Tod and Treasurer
Robbins and tonight the committee gave
out a letter calling on Mr.. Robbins for
certain information. Bank Examiner Lo-
gan did not appear before the committee.
He was Summoned. but declined to be
present.
i an ECHO of the recent visit to Texas Of
delegates from the chamber of commerce
and Merchants association of New York
was ~ evidence in the house today. The
arguments made in opposition to Titles
courteous and considerable resolution Of
thenks to the New Workers were along
n thAsame old lines and served simply to
4 give Mr. Lutte and Speaker Prince an OPP
portunlty to correct some erroneous, ideas
with reference to the gentlemen who
II were recently the guests of the State.
r A PETITION asking for an appropriation
Ia to build a monument over the grave Of
"a Albert Sidney Johnston In this city has
Y been placed before the governor by Sen
. ator Stafford. II is stated that the neces
n sary sum may he provided for in the gen
n eral appropriation bill
N A COMMITTEE composed of members Of
Fl both houses visited the governor this
# evening and requested him not TO submit
H any additional legislation during the spe-
81 clal session. OF course, an exception was
Ii made as to the sherlffs' fee bill, as both
houses by resolution have requested the
executive to again submit that measure so
III can be perfected. The members of the
committee said they could see how slow
81 y the work is progressing aud that it
was their desire to get through as soon
M as possible
III TIE NATTER or APPROPRIATIONS is
NOW fairly under way, both the house and
senate finance committees having been in
session during the day.
Il The HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE on con
gressonal districts had the Galveston and
Houston districts under consideration this
evening. Many suggestions were made,
nl nothing definite was done. There Is
evidence very strong desire on the
part Of the coast counties TO avoid being
uslrieted with Galveston. In this con
nee'lon II may he pointed out that the
FL WORK Of subeommittees must he here
M n'er passed on by committees and finally
Y 'ae senate and house. so that what Is
MI wing done just now simply serves TO show
'aat there is wide diversity of opinion
aaa Is not especially significant
RESOLUTION was introduced by Mr.
AOlan to the effect that the senatorial
districts be divided according to con
H. ssucus territory and the number Of quail
'aeu electors In the districts.
