 House. The House was called to order at 10 a. m. , Speaker Hall in the chair. Prayer was offered by the chaplain, Rev. Dr. A. J. Sage. The committee reports were made as fol- lows Military Atfairs-Adverse on bill establishing the rank of assistant quarter master general; rejected Favorable on amending section 10, chapter 4, title 10, General Statutes, relating to acquisitions, Federal relations; favorable on resolutions concerning the imprisonment of American citizens in British prisons, requesting the United States government to inaugurate means for their speedy trial or release. MT. Kirkland, of Old Saybrook, moved that | the rules requiring printing be dispensed i with, and that the resolutions be put on their passage; so ordered.
 The resolutions were supported by MT. Coogan, of Windsor Locks. He charged | that the Representatives in Congress had been lukewarnl in extending protection to | Irish American citizens now suffering in Eng | fish prisons, and also that the American min ister at St. James, Mr. Lowell, had been derelict in the discharge of his duties, and he besought the House not to allow the rights of American citizens to be trampled on. 1 Mir. Cowles, of Pennington, and Mir. Mitchell of Southbury, favored the passage of the resolutions. MT. Pine, of Derby, said he objected to the l Legislature of Connecticut being resolved in to Fenian society or a branch of the Land League. Charges and complaints had been | made against the American minister. For 1 himself he thanked God that man of the l patriotism and ability of James Russell l Lowell is the American representative in England. (Applause.) The Land League 1 agitation for the past few months has been | against the interests of the Irish people. Its
 
 l and what is done with them? If they would send the money to bring the oppressed of Ireland to the United States, where they might have liberty and work, that would bea noble object. Had the land act been adopted in good faith the agitation would have been closed long ago. William E. Gladstone, now at the head of the English government, is a truer friend to Ireland than the agitators who are disturbing the country. He hoped that in decency the resolutions would be re- jected.
 Mir. Coogan pronounced the statements made by the gentleman from Derby (Mr. Pine) as false. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Downes of Derby, Robertson o1 New Haven, Sill of Hartford and Johnson o1 Enfield, all favoring the passage of the reso lutions. The previous question was ordered and resolutions passed.

 The resolution appropriating $70O in favor of Henry s. Merwin on account of quaran tine of horses was advocated by Messrs Cowles of Norwalk and Merrow of Mans field. a'
 Mir Johnson, of Enfield, offered an amend ment paying Mir. Merwin $60O and ordering the quarantine removed
 MT. Rising, of Sufield, favored the John
 son proposition. He held that the horses
 were not glandered and that MT. Merwin suf fered to the amount of 5000.
 MT. Fuller, of Putnam, wanted the case finally settled, and favored the killing of tho horses.
 Mr. Northrop, of MiddIetown, protested agaiu st the amendment. There would be ar
 outcry againstit throughout all the towns ad joining Durham. The people were opposed to having the quarantine removed, and the Legislature could not afford to order the ani
 mals turned loose.
 MT. Johnson spoke in support of the amendment; also sustained by Mir Ripley o1 Norwich and Mir. Sanford of Bedding.
 MT. Robertson, of New Haven, said no re. 1 fiection should be cast on the commission. He would favor paying for the trouble and loss which MT. Merwin has experienced, but he would have the horses killed. Mir. Cowles, of Pennington, supported the views of Mir. Robertson, holding that the commission had purposed acting for the best | interests of the people.
 MT. Wood, of East Windsor, offered an amendment reducing the sum proposed by | MT. Johnson to SP400.
 1 Under order for the previous question the amendment was rejected, carrying MT. Woods | with it. MT. Northrop offered an amendment order l ing the horses to be killed and post -mortem examination made by Dr. Lyman, veterinary surgeon at Washington, with assistants, and that if the horses are not glandered MT. Mer- 1 win shall be paid $75O but if they shall be l glandered MT. Merwin shall receive nothing If one of the horses is glandered and the oth- CT not he shall receive $375. MT. Northrop supported the amendment After brief discussion Mir. Northrop sub stituted the provision in his amendment that the veterinary surgeon to make the examina- tion shall be appointed by the United States commissioner of agriculture instead of ap- pointing Dr. Lyman.
 Mir. Pease, of Enfield, raised constitu- tional objection to the amendment, and held ! that it's passage would involve the State in trouble. MT. Merwin could probably pro- cure an 1nJunctlon preventing tGe execution of the amendment if passed. The previous question was ordered on mo- tion of Mr. Robertson, and the amendment was adopted by more than two-thirds vote
