AGAINST THE POOL ROOMS.

Pleas. HARTFORD, Feb. 3 3-[Special].-An un- citing session of the assembly was held the capitol to-day, and the corridors oked dismal and deserted, most of the ,ird house members being absent for the | me being. What threatens, however, to e severe storm is brewing, and spirit chool and the Storrs Agricultural school will prove the stirring features. Some two 'ears ago Congress passed an appropria- ion bill which will now give to the state, or the use of some agricultural or me- ,hanical school, the sum of SIS, ,0O0a year, his to increase at the rate of $1,00O per .nnum until the amount reaches the sum of $25, ,000, at which figure it will perma- nently remain. It Is necessary for the state to accept this money, and bill which should have been passed some two years ago came into the house last month, asking the state to ac- cept the same, but carefully avoiding any reference as to where the money was to go. Two years ago the money was received by Governor BulkeleY and turned over to Yale college. The bill to accept the money came before the judiciary committee last week, when Professors Brush, Brewer and Lounsbury of Yale Sheffield school, to- gether with MT. Hamereley's law partner, appeared in favor of the measure and urged the state to accept the money at once, but did not touch on the point as to what disposition was to be made of 1t. To-day the bill was on the senate calendar

Hale desires to be heard in the matter, and therefore ask to have 1t tabled, as I do not want any more money to go to Yale college, es that is the place the money will go to if we should accept the fund before providing for it's disposal" Senator Keen ey in an interview with your correspond ent after the session eaid: "Here is the Storrs Agricultural school, an institution supported by the taxes of the poor people of the state, while Yale college, a rich in stitutien, is constantly receiving all of these public moneys, which in all right and justice should go to our public institutions.
