The scheme to send the entire general as- sembly to the worlds fair at the expense of the state was ridieuled to death to-day. When the original resolution to send the governor and staff, state officers, eight sen ators, sixteen representatives and regi- | ment of militia came up, MT. Cushman of Eastford sent up substitute providing for sending the members of the general assem- | bly,, the state to furnish transportation, board for week and admission to the fair, | the whole at cost not to excesd $100 for l each member.
 ! MT. Callahan of New Haven suggested that if the state were to furnish board it should also furnish clothes.
 | Mir. Wood of Manchester enlarged on this and said the reporters, messengers, doorkeepers, cloak room tenders and the capitol barber should not be overlooked. Both MT. Callahan and Mr. Wood then pitched into the resolution and character | izsd 1t as a gigantic and colossal attempt to swindle the state. A motion to inde6- nitely postpone was carried, but there was a strong vote in favor of the resolut ion. 1 ABOUT TROOP A.
