No Prospect of Final Adjournment Be
fore June I.
HARRISBURG, May 16 The question of
final adjournment is one that is just now
receiving much attention at the hands of
both branches Of the legislature. Several
informal conferences were held yesterday
between the leaders of the senate and
house to try to formulate some plan by
which this could be accomplished as early
as possible 1t is generally agreed that
the lawmakers cannot get away before
June z. The senators insist that the only
means by which this can be accomplished
is by the house dropping all of its bills be-
low the final passage calendar. This will
hardly be agreed to- A decided effort is
being made to effect a compromise by
which both bodies can be satisfied.
Another matter that is now receiving
considerable attention in the many Incl
dental conferences is the legislative, ju-
dicial senatorial and congressional appor-
tionment bills. Governor Hastings is
anxious for an apportiopment of some
kind, and is doing all he can to bring it
about.
The bill allowing school boards to pur-
chase out of the public funds American
flags made of American bunting by Amer
lean workmen, and TO float them on the
school houses Of their respective districts
on stats made of American timber, was
defeated on final passage, The act pro
hibiting members of the boards of trustees
of state normal schools from making or
being interested in contracts with such
schools was indefinitely postponed This
kills the bill. The bill extending to third
class cities the provisions Of the act of 1885
to establish and maintain schools for in
strucUion in mechanic arts and kindred
subjects passed finally.
The senate adopted a resolution to pro-
hibit the Introduction of bills after this
week. The senate concurred in the house
amendments TO the street bills of MIR.
Finn, which provide for improvements
without the petition Of abutting property
owners.
Among bills passed finally were: Grant
ing pensions to men who enlisted between
April IA, 1861, and May l, 1865, not pen
sioners nor applicants for pensions under
United States statutes; limiting the time
within which pike and pickerel may be
caught; providing for the election OF
councilmen IN Doroughs not divided into
wards; providing for the support of indi-
gent parents by children.
