 CLUnTNC9 BUSINESS.

 ter--New Haven College of Dentistry-The
 Bill Was Rejected-C Changing the Probate
 Laws-Better Public Reoords-Against
 the Proposed Home for Incurables--Much
 General Business.
 Hartford, June 25-When the house
 of represent ntatives convened this morn
 ing at 1045 1t was the general belief
 that business of the session could be
 completed by Thursday. Then is was
 the plan to adjourn over until some
 day next week, give the governor time
 to examine the bills and then adjourn sine die. As the session progressed, however, and the Special orders" piled
 up away into Thursday, the tune of affairs was changed The senate dis posed of a lot of matter to-day, al-
 though that body did not come in until 12:30; but the house has a great mass of business and 1t now looks as if at least three legislative days would have to be used next week in clearing up the bills. There are quite number who do not wish to hold a session Friday. Some want to attend the boat race and others believe 1t would be better to not come here Friday, but trust to next week to finish so If a Friday session of the house is held 1t will be lightly attended.
 THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY.
 In the senate the bill incorporating the Connecticut College of Dentistry at New Haven was rejected. Senator Douglass said there was objection to the bill from different parts of the state He thought this ibill had not been sufi- ciently studied up and more care should | have been given in Its preparation There would undoubtedly be establish | ed a dental institution connected with | Yale which would be of national impor 1 tance, and it would be better to wait l until such school could be establish | ed While he was in entire accord with | the objects to be attained, he wanted | a dental college that would be first | class and of national importance, and | it would be better to wait until that | could be attained On his motion the | bill was rejected
 Senator Douglass suggestion seemed | to be a wise one, and most of the sem ators concurred in his view of the ques- ton.

 Section 546 of the general statutes is lereby amended by adding al the end hereof the following:
