NO AsoRE NEW BUSINESS.


DONER, DEL, MdTcl Sou iooo.-I ne
General Assembly ended the twelfth
week of its session to-day, and the week
was put down as a busy one, and as no
more new business will be received
from this date, the members will no
doubt endeavor to rush matters now on
hand thorugh as fast az possible.
1t was suggested by several Senators
that they open the session at 8 O'Clock
and continuein session until about mid
light. Whether or not this will be
done remains to be seen. 1t is, how
ever, impossible unless the various
committees make their reports more
rapidly than heretofore.
The resolution for the relief Of the
Breakwater and Frankfort Railroad,
rs published yesterday, was railroaded
through both Houses in short order this
morning. In the Senate, where it was
introduced, it was opposed by Mr.,
Belts, who, in reporting the bill from
the committee said he would vote
against it. Mr.. Lavender desired its
postponement until Tuesday at eleven
o'clock.
Messrs- Cooper, Mustard and Houston
opposed the motion to postpone land the
question being put, was lost, Belts,
Lavender and Speaker Cooper voting to
postpone, while Chandler, Cooper, Mus
tard and Houston voted against it,
The resolution was then adopted,
Lavender and Belts voting against it.
The resolution was then forwarded to
the House, and was concurred in with
out dissenting voice
