Last night an array of admiring constituents including number of those who had an official hand in their creation, escorted them from the Hotel Adams to the depot and bade them God-speed.

However, the committees devoted a part of the afternoon to secret consideration of numero measures. But one new bin was slipped into the house and that Icy common consent as an emer gcncv measure. The same bill and several others were also introduced in the senate just before adjourn mcnt. that they might have carly consideration. Two of them are de- signed to further trim the claws of corporations and another was one for the creation of the county of Hunt by the division of CoconinO. This came from Senator Davis Of Maricopa.

Metaphorically speaking. he found the senate had all but jerked it out from under him. He had planned to introduce a bunch of bills and the body had all but left him in the lurch. but he cravcd it's indulgence for one emergency measure. It was grant ed and he put over five bills. where upon Senator Davis injected two more and the president. who is a kindly man when he wants to be made no objection. The bills wer, read first time and referred to tho committee on printing. They arc as follows
