house were to keep at i. until the Last
hour Of tho last day OF tho aoassiun 1t
couh no. pass all tho bills now on i.s
calendar, and thOre are moro to come.
The disposition OF both houses is to do
what Is best for the people and adjourn
at the end Of the forty.fve days. II is
seen to be desirable that thero shall be
an understanding between tho two
houses with respect to measures tina.
should bo passed and measures that
should not be passed. or which every.
body knows cannot be passed.
With a view to coming to practical
understanding that will advance tho
work q caucus OF Republicans OF both
houses will meet Tomorrow evening to
see II there can be agreement on gen.
oral lines oil legislation. Members OF
both houses are so strongly Impressed
with the necessity OF this action that it
il probable 1t will be taken. This
will put sort OF brake on tho manifest
desire OF some Democrats 10 shape the
legislation Of thla Republican legisla-
ture.
