TRENTON, April 10, 1S89.-The opinion
tonight is that it will be impossible to ad-
journ this week The House did moi
do much this evening toward finish
ing up its business. 1t had not
been in session much more than
half an hour when members began to
drop away, and shortly after it was dis
covered that no quorum was present.
That ended the nights session A good
example was given it by the Senate,
which kept in session until half-past
eleven.

have decided that is worth while trying to

be admitted to these concerts
