ON THIRD READING.
Largo Batch Of Bills al This Stage In

SENATE pUsY WITH TIE CODE.
Slight Disappointment Over the Fall
uro Of the Invesiiga.
lion.

The House began the session this
afternoon with eight bills on third
reading. Two OF them repeal the
present law requiring fish screens to
be maintaiued; another requires tho
county TO pay each election Judge So;
another allowR county iaiis to be
used for United States prisoners;
another regulates pawnbrokers, md
another nrovides for instruction in the
public echools In relation to the effects
OF stimulants and psrootlcs 10 tho
human system. So many bills on
third reading, with still larger
number in the hands Of committees,
makes more distant the prospect OF
the early consideration OF the code by
the lower branch Of the Assembly.
The Senaie, however, applies Itself
incustriously 10 the confederation and
perfection OF the code. Each day 1t
passes through the stsge o. second
reading, number OF titles, and
the indications are that about all the
careful anu methodicAl consideration
the code will receive in open session
viii bo given to 1t by the Senate.
The emphatic action OF the Senate
last evening In rejecting Rideout's
resolution to investigate the senatorial
election, without any attempt to MAKE
1t less unpalatable by amend
ment, created little, though
not much, disappointment among
members OF the House. The
fact is the passions aroused by the con-
test have pretty well suOeided, and
the general feeling among members OF
the Legislature eeems to be that, after
all, there were no tangible charges nor
wrongful acts proper for tue assembly
to inquire into.
