LAST OLIVE BRANCH

HARTFORD, March 12.-[ Special The senate did not meet to-day. The house had a session, and it was busy one. This being the last day for the introduction of new business, quite number of bills were introduced. Outside of this, the only events of interest were the argument of MT. Walker, dem., of Hartford, on the Judson resolution and the arguments by various democratic representatives on the motion to take recess until next Tuesday with bear garden scene thrown in. REGULAR PROCEEDINGS. The house convened at 11:30 a. m. The introduction of new business was the first order of the day, after which MT. Judson of Hartford, the author of the Jud son resolution, explained the latter fully and concisely to the members of the house and concluded by saying that it was the last proposition or overture which would come from the republican side of the gene ral assembly, and that if the democrats did not see fit to accept it and deadlock re- suited they would alone be responsible and to blame for it.
 MT. Walker, dem., of Hartford then took the floor and for over an hour argued for the democratic side of the house. Dur
 ng his address MT. Walker roundly de- inounced the measure as a bill for the pro longation of the deadlock and one to be strongly fought against by the democrats. In summing up the defects in the resolu- ton from democratic standpoint he said In this bill you would give to the defeated party, without any prima facia case against the fair list, chance to bring this ques- tion into court and before decision would be reached the gubernational term in ques- tion would be over.
 As soon as MT. Walker had finished, 8 recess was taken until 1:30 o'clock under the rule, that the speaker may declare 8 recess when no quorum is present. At 13O o'clock the house reconvened and some new bills were introduced after which another recess was declared until p. m. next Tuesday, despite the various objections and points of order raised by democratic representatives, who had a small majority and wished to proceed with business.
 The proceedings at this stage of the days proceedings were as follows: Mr. Judson of Stratford moved that the time of taking 8 vote upon the pending question be extended from o'clock this afternoon until 1 o'clock on Tuesday,. Mr. Walker said the republicans had made their bed and must lie in it. The demo- crats would oppose the motion. Other democrats were heard on the question and Mr. Judd of Litchfeld proceeded to speak upon the pending question, as he had not heard anyone second the motion to extend the time Somebody seconded the motion, but MT. Walker made point of order that Mir. Judd had the floor. The speaker sus- tained the point and MT. Judson moved recess until 1 o'clock next Tues | day. Mir. Walker made the point of order that the motion was not in order, as MT. Judd had the floor. Speaker Paige ruled otherwise, and on the motion of sustaining the decision of the chair MT. Judson called for a vote by yeas and nays, but it seeming doubtful if enough republicans were present to carry | the vote, the republicans filed out when l the roll was being called, so that no quorum would be present and the speaker would have to declare recess. MT. Walker and other democrats tried to interfere with | the calling ot the roll, but it was finally got under way amid great excitement. A declaration of the vote showed S3 vot- l ing and a quorum wanting. Speaker Paige, in accordanc with the rules, there upon declared recess until Tuesday at 1 | o'clock.
 l Owing to the excitement some twenty
 bills failed of introduction. l BILLS INTRODUCED.
