The House concurred with the Senate in in.
definitely postponing the bill providing for the
establishment of reformatory school fol
women. Mr.. Hale of Portland tried hard to
have it 60 to conference committee, in the

ment tomorrow evening. Its closing proceed

nell have performed their duties efficiently.
Representatives Mattocks and Hale, two of
the Portland members, have been called to the

of Cumberland county The Senate has bsen
tho talking branch of the session, although
towards the close the popular branch came to
the front and showed that it had plenty of
good debaters. Nothing has taken place to
mar the proceedings, the political Ratchet was
buried, and the numerous acquaintances which
have been formed among the members will un-
doubtedly, among many, ripsn into intimate
friendship.
COMPUTATION MONEY.
An animated debate took place in the House
over the bill providing for the payment of
Communication money. Mr.. Powers of Houlton
made short speech attacking the measure.
which was well received. Daring the debate
it was brought out that If the Legislature
passed the bill, it would take some $500 600
out of the treasury for the payment Of claims,
and be the means of bringing out the lobby in
full forcs at future Legislature, which would
probably get their share of the money The
bill was killed.
PRESENTATION.
Another silver $50 watch was presented to
one of ths subordinate officials OF the House
to-day By the members of that branch. 1t was
given to one of the folders, Fred. A. Stevens.
MISCELLANEOUS.

out rolls in the Adjutant Generals Office,
which has passed both branches, provides for
aa appropriations of ST. 800.
The bill that passed in relation to apportion-
ment OF school money amends the Law SO that
money apporttoned to districts formed from
one or mora towns shall not be diminished
under the provisions of the law.
The final passage of the temperance bill is a
foregone cocclusion, now that it has been en-
crossed.
A bill vent through both branches to-day

OF the baptism and confirmation OF Mr. Blaine.
Holding Mr.. Blaine by the band, after some
conversation, Father Clarke said, "Yonr sister
had strong belief that you would one day
return to the fold OF the Catholic church, the
one universal apostolic church. Stranger
things have happened. A few months ago you
looked forward, no DOUBT, to q very different
scene from that from which you have Just
come. But, my dear Mr.. Blaine, we have
holy writ for the saying that it is better for a
man to go to the house of mourning than to
the house OF feasting and merriment.n

as an attack is momentarily expected, and the
people fear revival of the scenes of 1876,
when war of races was inaugurated and only

The American and English vice consuls have
asked for ships of war to be sent and probably

laborers and small shopkeepers Tho fire was
the work of an incen3isry. Crime ia rapidly in
