Santa Fe, N. NJ, Mar. 15.-The
council is now passing bills only un-
der suspension of rules, as time will
not permit of waiting for a third
reading. Many roll calls came this
| morning over the efforts of certain
| members to adjourn until Monday.
This is for the purpose of trying to
| shift the responsibility for failure of
the appropriation bill to pass. The
band wagon bunch declare they will
| stand pat for every rider attached
| to tsliS bill
! with house amendments, refunding
to Territorial institutions the money
expended in acquiring public lands
donated by congress, and providing
for future expenses.
H. B. No. 178, to abolish the office
of public printer, went to the CON-
mittee on judiciary, not being passed
c. B. No. 100, with amendments.
aimed at fake mining companies was
passed.
H. B. No. 200, regarding the min
ers' hospital at Ration, passed.
G. B. No. rs, amending section 344S
Compiled Laws as to expenses in
change of venue cases, passed. The

The house met at 11:35 and recon
sidered the salary bill passed yester-

Santa Fe, N. M, Mar. 14.-The ap
preparation (omnibus) bill came up
in the council this afternoon on mo-
tion of Duncan, was read the second
time by title, and then Duncan moved
to refer it to the finance committee.
Dalies moved to amend so that the
bill would be acted on in committee
of the whole. The amendment was
lost by a vote of to 4, Dalies, Mar
ti1ez, Richards and Spiess voting for
the amendment. The bill was refer
red to the committee on finance
where it is likely to be worked over
so that it will scarcely be recognized
by it's friends. The bid of nearly one
hundred thousand dollars in appro-
priations for Bernalillo county was
not sufficient to get Suffers vote,
and the vote on the reference of the
bill this afternoon would seem to
indicate that there is no change in
the lineup of the council since the
passage of the appropriation bill by
the house.
The council this afternoon passed
the Quay county bill, with an amend
ment providing for the issue of fifty
thousand dollars IN bond by Quay
county to be given to Union county.
This amendment is satisfactory to
the Union county people, as the int
crest on the bonds will amount to
about the same as the taxes on the
property taken from Union county by
this bill. The bill as amended goes
back to the house.
The Foraker, Artesia, Garfield, Pyr-
amid and Torrance county projects
will be up in the house tomorrow
friday. IN VIEW OF THE GREAT
NUMBER OF BILLS BEFORE THE
COUNCIL 1T is RATHER DOUBT
Full WHETHER THE COUNCIL
WILL EVEN. READ. THESE NEW
COUNTY MEASURES. There are
more than forty bills, including the
appropriation bill, before the coun-
Gil now for consideration.
