JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March 23.--
The Thirty-seventh general assembly
adjourned shortly afternoon to-day.
Both houses held sessions last night,
lasting until after midnight, and
cleaned up the work arranged for.
This morning there was little to do.
The pharmacy bill was killed at the
last minute by the report of the con-
ference committee which could not
agree upon an amendment.
The senate stood firm upon its
amendment giving the geological bu.
reau but $40, 900 to save the depart,
ment, the house consented to the re.
duced appropriation.
The house joint and concurrent
resolution asking congress to pass
legislation restraining the federal
judiciary from encroaching upon the
states rights was called up this morn
ing and defeated only eight senators
voting for it. This leaves the COVER
nor without the support of the general
assembly in his position concerning
federal and state courts.
