THE NEWSPAPER CLAIMS BILL PASSED.


good reason that most OF the oils Of any i'm
portance that originated In the Senate have been
read by the Assembly, while its own bills are piled
up on The senate Clerks desk by the dozens, wait
ing for the blessed time when vote can be taken
on them. SO it will be seen that if the adjourn
ment shoud take place tomorrow
TIE AssEMBLyMRN WOULD BE LEFT IN THE LuRcH
far their little local bills are concerned, and
the Senator'S could 90 home happy as clans at
high tide. Still, when the members to-day were
forced TO place themselves on record on the con-
current resolution for final adjournment, TO take
place tomorrow at four p. NJ, they were not
courageous enough to vote against it solidly, and
It was, therefore, passed by So to 30. The Senate
however refused even TO entertain the resolutions
when they were sent up stairs, and the prospect
Of an adjournment taking place tomorrow is
therefore, rather gloomy The Supply bill, 1t is be-
ueved, will be reported by the Conference Commit
tee some time tomorrow, and this once out OF the
way the adjournment cannot be delayed any length
Of time. Even should the Senate remain obstinate
tomorrow the adjournment may be carried
through before the close OF the week. This de-
ponds solely, however, on whether the two houses
yemain in harness on Friday decoration Day..
THE LOCAL PROHiBITIONISTS KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Mr. Hustled to-day created quite surprise by
moving reconsideration Of the vote by which the
Local Prohibition bill was killed yesterday. He
declared that the republs can party demanded some
such legislation, ana that the republican members
Of the Legislature could not AFFORD to go home
without passing some DILL satisfactory to the tenn
perance men OF the State. Mr.. BaltZ, the grand
lager beer quaffer from Buffalo, took exceptions to
the Major Generals remarks, and wanted 10 know
why the republican party were anxious TO pass
any temperance bill II 1t was he did not know IT,
and his republican friends he knew were not dying
To have any temperance law. The idea that the
party ought TO get scared badly il the temperance
fanatics bolted was in his opinion
ALL B0SH.
II they wanted to leave the marty they ought to be
helped along in their efforts instead OF lmpeded.
They were always making great howl about what
they would do II everybody didn't do just as they
wanted them TO do, and yet they had no positive
Strength. Mr.. Husted's motion was finally lost by
to secure its passage. This squelches the local
prohibitOnfsts for this session beyond all hope OF

about their value to the republican party as If its
very life depended upon them. and have strutted
about so dictat0riay In the lobbies and denounced
all opposed To. them so unsparingly that l doubt
not but that nine-tenths of the members are in

Senator Madden this morning, being taken rom

length in support OF his amendment, and was fol-
lowed by Senators Benedict and Woodin. who de-
clared that the amendment had no force in fact,
although IL might defeat the bill. Year after year
however such Chains these have come up and

The Gas bill introduced by Mr.. Smith some two
