INDIANAPOLIS, April 8.-The Legis
lature convened in special session at Z
o'clock P. NJ. to-day.
None of newly elected members
appeared TO be qualified, and there
being no quorum, both Houses ad-
iourned without transactIng any bust
ness.
Previous to the adjournment Of the
Senate a free discussion was INDUCED
in. Senator Stein, Representative of
Lafayette, took the ground that If the
newly elected members failed TO quail
ify in the five days allowed them by
the Constitution, those who remain at
their post must be regarded as the
Legislature, two thirds of which shall
constitute quorum for the transac-
ton of business. He argued that this
view alone could save the State from
anarchy and ruin.
The members who have not quail
fed are the same members who re-
signed during the regular session, and
have been re elected.
