New. Mexico, but was defeated on
point OF order. The legislative appro-

A Choice Of Only Three Ways.
There were" said Dalzell, but
three ways to dispose of the bill. One,
was to send it to the committee; an

third method which was adopted, was

an orderly course were pursued. In
opposition, Mr.. Williams pointed out
that the vote to adopt the special rule
was a vote against concurrence in
the Senate amendments. Ordinarily
under the rules the House motion to
concur would be in order.
