For Resubmission in Iowa.

Des Moines, Feb. 26.—The house committee on constitutional amendments on Tuesday took unexpected action by recommending the passage of the prohibitory amendment to the constitution. , Only seven of the thirteen members of the committee, all republicans, were present, and the resolution was favorably reported by a vote of 5 to 2. A minority report will probably be presented against the amendment resolution, which fixes the third Tuesday in June, 1897, as the day for the special election to decide the question.
