APPROPRIATION BILL
 AND COUNTY MEASURE

At little after , o'clock this morn ing the third state legislature stood adjourned sine die. The general ap- propria;ion bill had been passed and sent to the governor and two sets of conferees had finally reached an agree meut on the county classification bill A final effort was made to bring out the executive budget bill. Mir. Baxter renewed the motion made by MT Faires earlier in the day to bring it to third reading, but the worshippers of former Governor Hunt stood and prevented suspension of the rules.
 They were given scare, however at midnight. when MT. Lines moved hn adjournment to r.. 45. March 9. IL N IS suspected that his purpose was to enter upon another legislative day, in which case the bill would have @ come up automatically for third reading and N ould have been passed by majority vote The vote in the coarse of the day by which the suspension of the rules was prevented and which was crystalllzed in subsequent ballots on the budget bill. was as follows.

 Perkins Peterson. Richardson. Sulh- van the speaker-ls.

 The steady Hunt supporters were only twelve. In the above vote, Messrs. Goodwin. Mahoney and Mallory were with them. Mir Brewer was absent.
 The vote of the sohf twelve was cast against the Cochise county superior of the rules by a vote of 2s to l2.
