The Governor created some stir in
the House this morning with his mes
sage replying to the resolution Of the
House some days ago asking why ap-
propriations made in the loan bill by
the last legislature had been held up
on his order. The Governors message
was quite brief. 1t stated that out of
considerable for the out of town MEM
bers of the last Legislature who wanted
to take the steamers leaving early in
the week, he had signed the loan fund
bill. But that at the time he signed
it he had not had time to intelligently
consider all the items and had so in
formed the legislature reserving to
himself the right to cause the eXpendi-
ture of such only as he approved. The
governor again called the attention Of
the legislature to the rapid increase of
the public debt.
Representative Rice moved that the
House acknowledge receipt of the mes
sage and that a further interrogatory
be sent to the governor asking his rea-
sons for delaying the expenditure of
money already appropriated. The mo-
to so address the governor.
