ing The Senate cleared up its calenda
TO great extent and in the House con
siderable minor business was done Al
adjournment was taken until 80 p, m
at the close of the morning session il
order to be able to attend the peach con
vention. That lasted much longer thai
was expected, and the two Houses hardl,
got back in session much before o'clock
THE DEADLOCK
The Republican nominees for treasure
and auditor, Adkins and Knowles, arr
knocked out and by Republican. Rep
resentative DAVIS did the work. Mr.
Maui again offered this morning a res
olution appointing Adkins and Knowles.
Mr. Davis raised point Of order that the
names could not be again sent into the
Senate as that body had now carried in
the House resolutions, and the same res.
olutions could not be passed the same
session. Speaker Hoifecker decided the
point well taken and the Republicans
will have to find two new candidates.
A caucus will be held on the matter in a
few days, for it may be depended upon
that the Republicans will not allow the
slightest opportunity to escape them for
"a caucus They seem 10 just glory in it,
It gives every fellow an opportunity to
say something and they are generally
good for three or four hours Of talk every
time they meet. Last night they held one
on the temperance bill. Edward g. Brad
ford, w. s. Prickett and Frederick E.
Bach addressed the meeting.
TO SELL BY THE PINT.
Representative Eckles introduced an
act in the House this morning that is
liable to set the temperance people
agoing. 1t provide s that wholesale deal
ers shall have the right to sell intoxica-
ting liquors in quantities, as small as
pint. AT present they must confne them
selves to quantities not less than quart.
The idea Is TO remove what is now use
less and unenforced provision. Under
the law no person can purchase pint of
liquor to take away from the premises.
The bill In the face of the present feeling
against the liquor interests will not
stand much show Of passing.
ADDTcKss BILL
Much fun is expected when the AID
dicks bill gets into shape, that there will
be determined effort to pass il there is
no doubt A lobby is being formed that
will be numerous enough shortly to start
third House, thing there has not
been in Dover for couple of sessions
Addicks himself arrived last evening and
will personally take charge of matters at
once. Some developments are expected
IN the next few days Copies of the bill
were distributed among the members yes
terday morning, and number were sent
all over the state. The Addicks bin is
not the only thing that Is big. Some

which much Is expected. A gentleman
who is interested informed your CORE.
spondent yesterday that 1t would be
down next week. The gentleman who
OY the way, is a prominent attorney,
SAID that he had been in Dover two days
expecting it to arrive. He, like Addieks
said that il would be for the benefit Of
The state,
EEw STATE HOUSE.
Senator Richardson had his new State
House bill referred to special committee
of six yesterday two from each county.
The bill stands better chance of passing
than at first supposed The sentiment
for the building is slowly increasing.
The necessity of it is now apparent TO
every one, and the senator has much hope
Of favorable report from the committee.
Should they 50 report there is Of course
no doubt Of its passage by the Senate
Once out Of that body there are strong
hopes entertained of its passage by the
House. II is apparent to every one Of the
new members that the accommodations
st present are by no means sufficient
The state with its present financial con.
dition can well afford the cost of the i'm
provement. Should the bill not pass, the
effort of last session to provide suitable
building for the library will be revived.
The necessity Of this is recognized by
everyone.
NOTES.
Some excellent enrolling is being done
by Clerk Whitaker Of the Senate, and
Walter s. Butler, who does Clerk Gums
enrolling Some Of the bills turned out
are models Of neatness. In previous ses-
sions this work has been done in the most
slip-shod fashion and frequent mistakes
have crept into the bills.
Mr.. Lodge has another good measure
to add TO the list he has already intro
duced. The object OF his bill that was
was introduced yesterday. is TO allow
parties asking for partition Of estates to
do it without regard 70 their interest.
and to give one partitioner the same foot
ing as the others.

The first good effect OF Councils visi
was manifest yesterday by the Senat,
