Its Rapid Progress Following Its Report to
the Council
The hallway Legislation Made Special Order for
This MOrning.---The Governor Signs the Anti
Saloon Singer Measure.

With the regularity Of the motion Of
the pendulum interest in the legislature
swung TO the south side of
the capitol yesterday afternoon. There
was a session in neither house in the
morning the legislature having been
invited 10 visit Tempe and make
study Of the needs of the normal school
The council had adjourned to meet
at two o'clock but the committee on
mines and mining which had not quite
finished the consideration Of the bills
before II went into session and il was
not until nearly four o'clock that il was
ready To report. When it was ready
however il reported and unanimously
recommended the passage Of the
amended Doran bill The council was
disposed TO waste as little more time as
possible over the question Of mining
taxation and under a suspension OF the
rules advanced the bill 10 second read
ing and under a further suspension Of
| the rules put il up TO third reading
and final passage. During this process
the ice wagon was run over Mr.. O'NeiH
twice since these expediting motions
had the support Of all the other eleven
members. But on the third reading
Mr.. O'Neill had pulled himself together
and intimated that he desired 10 be
heard.
4 He said in reply to a question as to
I how long the flow Of oratory would last
that the few remarks he had 10 make
would occupy about four hours. He
/ thereupOn began quoting from the gov
erHOr's message starting at the begin
ming and showing signs that he would
continue 10 the end. That document
interesting as il was last Friday natur-
ally lost its novelty then and the coun-
ICil after listening to the reading of the
first page. (and Mr.. O'Neiil is not as
pleasing a reader as the governOrD Of
fered him terms TO stop. An agree
ment for an adjournment was reached
with the understanding that the bill
should be made special order at ten
O'clock this morning. Other special
orders for today are Cleavelanfs four
cent fare bill and Rlakely's bill
prohibiting the sale Of liquor in the ter
ritory.
