HOUSE BILLS AMENDED BY THE SENATE.
When a bill is returned from the Senate with amend-
ments, the question is taken upon the adoption of the
Senate's amendments. The proper motion then is, if the
amendments are agreeable to the committee which intro-
duced the bill: "Mr. Speaker, I move that the House con-
cur in the amendments of the Senate." The question is taken
upon the adoption of the motion. If agreed to, the hill, as
amended, is passed by yeas and nays. If not agreeable to
the committee, a motion that the House do not concur in
the Senate's amendments is the proper one, and if sustained
by a vote of the House, the chairman of the committee
submits for adoption a message to the Senate, as follows:

originally paused by the House. Should the Senate adhere
to its amendments, a message is dispatched to the House,
usually in this form :
