The subject OF holding an extra session OF
the Legislature Was discussed more on yes
terday among the members than at any time
during the session. Ii seems hardly proba-
bic that the Deficiency and General Appro-
priation bills can be passed between this and
Friday evening. The first has been amended
by the Senate and returned TO the House,

CURED in by the latter body nor any action,
| In fact, taken upon them The General APP.
prlati0n bill has been considered only In
part by the House, where 10 originates and
| has not been to the Senate az all. Under
these circumstances an extra session at this
time is a strong probability. AS a matter OF
| fact, however, the general sentiment is OPP
posed TO IL, and lhis Is true OF the leaders
almost without exception.
