! Dover. April There was an unusually
large attendance at the meeting of the
Joint session to-day. Much interest was
shown and it was plain that the on-lookers
expected some development to-day.
Nothing however transpired. There
was but one ballot. The only feature was
that the Higgins followers all locked back
again.
There was but one ballot to-day, the Goth,
as follows:

DOVER, April IAN immense gathering
assembled at the State House to-day, ex-
dications of G speedy election of a United
States Senator, but it was doomed to dis.
appointment. The multitude was april
| fooled" deucediy bad To.day's ballot has
created the impression that last weeks
breaks were pretended. that they were
stupid bluffs, and is reviying the belief
that the disgusting farce will be prolonged
| for an indefinite period.
At a meeting held in the Methodist
Episcopal Church this afternoon com
/ nittee of 20 was appointed to circulate pe-
titions respecting the Law and Order So
ciety's temperance bill to secure sigma
lures to said petitions and to wait on the
Legislature; also to organize, every hun
dred i'll Kent county. The idea is to get
| petitions and delegations from every hun
dred in Kent. The same will be done in
| New Castle and Sussex counties. The
object is to not only attempt to secure the
passage of said bill but also to oppose the
race trac and pool'selling bills. 1t is
asserted that the better class of people is
apprehensive of vicious legislation in this
direction.
To date the Senate has passed or killed
"A bills. The number of Senate bills now
i'll the hands of Senate committees or
which have not yet been introduced is 95.
The notices which have been given in the
House represent nearly 500 bills. Thus
far only III House bills have gone to the
| hn n
Watson to despairingly exclaim: I'VE
wont get away before June" Some peo-
Pile imagine that the 'shenanegening"
will continue until the Fourth of July.
There is talk of introducing this week a
resolution fixing date for final adjourn
ment.
Tie General Assembly was brimful of
business to-day. Owing to the sitting OF
the divorce committee the House could
not commence this afternoon. For the
