LAST SCENE OF ALL.
General Assembly's Longest
Session Ends To-day.
PUSHING BUSINESS THROUGH.


stas Correspondence EVENING Journal
DOVER. May 15.-The General AS
sembly viii adjourn sine die to- morrow
at noon, OF shortly after. The business
of the session Is now about up. TIL,
House has only three bills to act upon
and viii have to wait upon the Senate, II
all probability.
It is asserted BY those who are familiar
with the legislative proceedings Of this
state fer years back, that the General
Assembly did more work to-day than In
any one day Of any previous session.
AL day long there has been a rush, and
clear up to II o'clock, at which time the
members ceased their lsbors. the en-
rolling clerks were as busy as beavers;
the committees on enrolment were over
taxed with the work OF comparing bills
and the clerks Of the House aud Senate
had as many as four assistants at a time
Everything had the appearance of an
exodus despite the fact that business
was rushing at such rate. Here you
see member packing his effects in a
soap box; another has family carpet
bag amost large enough to hold his desk.
Waste paper baskets we're wrapped up
In paper 20 be given TO the wives and
daughters as souvenirs of sthe year pa
was Ia the Legislature. Every member
will take his spittoon with the exception
of K r. Morris. Some individual, whose
bump Of p0sBessiveness was in higher
state OF development than his honesty,
relieved the genial member from Sussex
Of the trouble OF conveying II to his
home He carried It home for him.
This is the longest session that has
been held since ''the late UNPLEASANT
ness" between the North and the South,
and the members are one and all glad to
be relieved Of the duties Of speaking for
nay constituents.
Business OF the Day.
A great amount of important business
has been transacted to day. Both
speakers signed the State Registration
bill with the gold pen Of the EVENING
JOURNAL correspondent, and they will
use it again tomorrow to sign the City
Registration bill and the Wocott Ballot
bill
The Police Commissioners nil
The Police Commission bill for Will
mington has passed both houses, hut
only by the grace Of Speaker Donahoe.
This afternoon Mr.. Ross called the
bill up for final passage After it was
read and before the vote was called,
Speaker Donahoe arose and said:
Here is another bill which is to force
another commission upon the people Of
Wilmington There is only one more
commission In order to be put upon my
people and that Is simply to pass bill

from those who bare preceded them. as

The passage Of the Registration bills
and the ballot bills seems to exercise the
Republicans very much.
Mr. Higgins chafed under the passage
Of the bill, and late this afternoon moved
reconsideration Of the vote BY which the
Senate amendments to the bill were con-
CURED IN.
