Committee.
BOTH HOUSES TALK
ABOUT EACH OTHER
Tho Annro0ria&;on Dill lu;U D.L
The Appropriation Bill Viii Prob.
ably Be Sent to Governor
Saturday.

The Senate has finished it's labors for
the extra session, and it is more than
likely that the House will follow suit,
when next that body convenes. The
forenoon in the Senate yesterday was
spent in triticizing the action of the
Lower House, and in making a com
parison of their bin, with that of the
Senate. Shortly before o'clock an ad-
journment was taken until the House
should express a desire to meet them
in joint conference.
The House spent the major portion of
the day in reading their Appropriation
bill, as reviewed and revised by the
Senate. The proceeding was punctured
at regular intervals by remarks that
were not at all complimentary to the
other legislative body.
SENATE.
AS soon as the business of the house
was in order yesterday morning, the
following communication from the
Lower House was read:
Il have the honor to inform your hon
orable body that the House of Repre-
sentatives has, by vote of IA ayes to
1 noes, taken this I'd day of July, A. D.
1901, failed to recede from its non-con-
currenee to the proposed amendment of
your honorable body to House bill No.
4. Said bill is returned herewith.
Il
sentatives. / have the honor to return
10 your honorable body a communica-
ton to this House sent by direction of
/ the Senate in re the legal effect of a
certain vote on the amendments pro-
posed by your honorable body to House
) bill No. as being without the province
of communications between coordinate
branches of the Legislature.
IS. MEHEULA,
! CLERK House Of Representatives.
This led to some more of the high
: temperature that has been characters
/ tic of the Senate during the past few
days. AS soon as the solons had ex-
pressed themselves to their hearts con-
j tent, they took up the salaries bill and
considered it until noon.
] In the afternoon the remainder of the
] document was gone over, and shortly
before O'Clock that body adjourned un-
journed until such time as the Lower
House should express, willingness to
confer with them.
| HOUSE.
Just to see how badly the Senate had
mutilated their pet scheme the House
spent the greater portion of yesterday
in comparing the bill that they had
sent to the Senate, and the same bill,
when it had been returned to them.
The changes made by the Senate are
given below. The entire afternoon was
consumed in this way. In the latter
portion of the day this letter from the
Senate was read.
/ To the Honorable Speaker and Members
Of the House of Representatives:
| Pursuant to the following motion
passed by the Senate this Sd day of
July, A. D. 1901, / herewith return to
your honorable body House bill No. 4.
as amended by the Senate, and mes
sages from your honorable body per-
tanning thereto.
{ That the law as amended and mes
sages from the Lower House sent the
Senate the reasons upon which it OBJ
jects to such amendment; or that the
House of Representatives request a con-
ference upon the subject matter of the
amendments made by the Senate.
/ I have the honor to be, yours respect
fully. EDGAR CAYPLEss.
Clerk of the Senate.
This provoked all sorts of caustic re-
marks. Finally Dickey offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was killed. and
then passed upon being reconsidered:
/ Resolved. That the clerk be instructed
to inform the Senate through it's clerk
that the final passage of any bill re-
qufres full majority of all the election
members of both Houses; that the con-
currence of the House IN the Senate
amendment of House Bin No. would
finally pass the bill, and therefore re-
auires the majority affirmative vote of
/ all the members of the House.
| Also that the House is ready to ap-
| point conference committee to consid-
Ter the difference between the Houses
on House bill No. 4.
| As soon as this had been safely put
/ out of the way. Emmeluth suggested
the ensuing concurrent resolution to
/ the Representatives which was accept
/ ed unanimously:
Be it Enacted by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate concurring:
| That a conference committee, to
/ consist Of seven 20 members from each
House, be appointed for consideration
Of the Appropriation bill passed by the
House of Representatives and the
amendments thereto proposed by the
Senate.
| That the members of said committee
be appointed by. the Speaker Of the
