Secretary stoddard found that the

 seargent- at arms asked for instruc- tions from President Ives, and MT.
 Ives told him to leave the clock alone.
 Mir. StOddard then sent one of the colored employees of the capital build ing into the council chamber, with a 1 ladder. The colored man was ascend ing the rostrum of the. president when Mir. Ives rushed into the chamber from his room, took his place and with a savage whack of the gavel called the council to order. He then directed the seargent- at-arms to arrest the colored man, which was done, and the offender was removed from the room.
 There was one bill which came up in the council Thursday morning and was inadvertently defeated. It was a bill prohibiting the establishing of 8 tent or movable saloon within six miles of grading camp or any tenn porary public works. In the haste of it's passage it was overlooked that special provision had been made not to interefere with settled saloons. The bill was therefore defeated. Later in the day, when the oversight of the members had been made known, the vote by which the bill had been de- feated was reconsidered and the meas- ure was passed. It was expected that the O'Neill monument bill would be taken up by reconsideration, but there was so much else to do in the morning session and so much of the afternoon session was spent at recess that the matter was allowed to go over to the evening session.
 The house bill regulating the prac- tice of pharmacy was passed, as was also bill regulating the granting of franchises for public utilities to pri- vate corporations. The house bill appropriating $lO,O for the develop ment of artesian water in Mohave county was defeated.
 When the house assembled for the last days session of the Twenty second legislature there remained much to be done, but the doing of it was hopeless task for it was plain that the greater part of it could not be approved by the council. There was one thing though that had to be done, and that was the passage of the ap- propriation bill providing not only for such expenses of the legislature as the government does not pay, but for the conduct of the affairs of the terri tory for the next two years. The read ing of the bill by subdivisions was begun before the noon recess, and the amendments to it had not been com pleted until nearly o'clock, when it was passed. As originally drawn the bill carried S73,OOO, but the amend ments made to it increased the burden placed on the house bill No. POP to a sum in the neighborhood of SO,OOO. The legislature or the lower house had exceeded all its predecessors in liber- alty.
 The next important event of the day in the house was the defeat of the bull ion tax bill. Other bills passed in the course of day were the following: House bill l37, relating to savings and loan associations; the peddlers' license bill; bill requiring canal companies to keep a record of the water passing through their canals; a council bill giving to municipalities greater power in ordering of street Improvements; 8 bill appropriating $lO,OOO for a search for artesian water in Mohave county; making the stealing of electricity a
