After the unusual interest of yester-

However, the House had another Of its
wrangles over the weekend adjournment

Gliding that II would work tomorrow
forenoon and come back Monday even
ing The first proposition put up by
Mr.. Tracey of Belyidere was to adjourn
this afternoon until Monday evening
Mr.. Peck OF Burlington Immediately OPP
posed this with an amendment making
the adjournment from Saturday morning
until Monday afternoon. The debate
showed more of a=Aisposition upon the
part OF the members to stay and work
and try to finish up the business of the
session than was manifested before the
holiday adjournment, and the amend
ment was carried by rising vote Of 05
to 70,
But this did not settle the matter,
for little later Mr.. Hays of Goshen
wanted to work all day Saturday and
Monday This occasioned more debate,
and finally Mr. Cory Of Montpelier
came mp with d motion to adjourn from
Saturday morning until Monday even
ing. Mr. Holden OF Clarendon worked
in an amendment to this to adjourn
from Saturday Afternoon to Monday
evening More debate ensued until the
previous question was moved by Mr..
Gillett of Richmond. Then, having
played long enough. the amendment was
killed and the Cory motion was adopt
ed

There is some prospect that to-day
may see compromise between the CEN
trail normal school advocates and the
present normal school interests. that
will result in the state taking care of
the schools at johnson and Castleton.
The fight is holding up much important
legislation. and it has reached point
where it looks as though the governor
and state superintendent of education
were willing to make some concessions.
