 HARTFORD, Conn.,, April 25. Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND
 CouRIER.l
 The biennial session of the legislature promises to prove sweetness long drawn out. Lieutenant Governor Merwin said to your representative that months more of business lies ahead of 1t, and this is also the view of Senator Graham. The railroad question continues the predominating topic of interest; but many minor matters of con- siderable importance remain to be acted upon.
 NEW HAVEN AFFAIRS.
 City Attorney Daily came up to the Capi- tol to day ready for business. He wanted to get the police bill passed without delay, and as usual, he succeeded.
 The bill passed the House, and under a suspension of rules Mir. Daily had it sent to the Senate, which also passed it. The bill provides for two more precincts and two more police captains in New Haven and twelve sergeants. There are to be more lieu tenants after the present lieutenants are pro- noted or retired. The most important pro- vision of the bill gives the commissioners by a fve-sixth vote power to retire an officer on a pension not to exceed half his pay. Also by two-third vote to pay the widow or children of policeman killed in performance of duty g, 900. The fund will be provided by five percent. of the liquor license fees and direct appropriation, if this is not sufficient.
 THE PRoH1ToRY AMENDMENT.
 After all, the people of Connecticut will vote on the prohibition question. The house voted to-day to reoede from its former ac- tion and concur with the senate in sending the amendment to the people to vote on.
 After considerable debate and several ap- peals from the decision of the chair the vote was taken on 8 motion to reoede and con- cur with the senate. The result was 133 in favor to 63 against, just one more than the necessary two-thirds vote. MT. Glover asked Speaker Perry if in his opinion the vote actually sent the amendment to the people. The speaker said this question was ennrfG tO ho not to express an opinion on it.
 MT. Glover moved to reconsider. He said that in consequence of the question as to whether the House could recede and concur as it did the courts would have to decide, and the very first time O prosecution was brought under the amendment the case would be contested.
 MT. Brandagee, of New London, said he wanted, if the amendment was adopted, to have it done in legal manner. He favored reconsideration.
 Mir. Glover maintained that the House might have decided, or to the contrary, to reconsider, which is 8 parliamentary ques- tion. To recede and concur on this special question, as to the right in so doing, is a constitutional point.
 MT. Hall of Stratford, said he would rather run the risk of the courts upsetting the ac- tion of the house than to have another close shave on a vote.
 The motion to reconsider was lost.
 Lawyers say there is a constitutional ques- tion involved. Had the House the right to recede, to practically reconsider2 How would the action effect voting upon question elect ing State officers for instance and other con- stitutional questionaa Probably there will be music in case the people adopt prohibi tion. The courts can alone decide in such event, respecting to days action in the House.

 Favoring the prohibitory amendments sub mission to the people. Representatives Ham, Chapin, Dews, Beardsley, Dursnt, Gates, Eaton, Bryant, Morse, Healey, Treat, Gam gus, Newton.
