 Several resolutions making other ap- pcintments were rejected in accordance with the report of the committee.

 The committee on fisheries and game reported favorably on bill prohibiting the use of net of less than two and one-half inch mesh, weir, etc, prior to May 20, or for seine, drag or gill net prior to June 20, without permission of the fish commissioners. This law does not apply to fyke fishing or pounds for whitefish between Hammock Point in Clinton and Pond Point in Milford, or between the mouths of the Connecticut and Thames rivers. The report was ta- bled for calendar.

 The finance committee reported ad- versely on two bills which provide that the street railway tax should be paid to the towns instead of to the state, as now provided for.
 Senator Warner called up the resolu- tion granting to Henry Barnard of Hartford a pension of $1,000 annually, and said that as the committee on exec- utive nominations was out it would be well to have the matter go over to an- other day.
 Senator Converse objected, but Sena- tor Marigold insisted, that as Senator Warner had not had sufficient time to gather the data he wished to place be- fore the senate, before the bill came up for final action, that senatorial cour- tesy be extended and that the bill be made the order of the day for next Tuesday. This motion brought Senator Converse to his feet again. He said that it was due him that the bill be considered at that time. He had post poned it already as often as any one could consistently ask for it. He said also that it had been reported that the senate would pass the resolution over the report. If this plan had been deter mined upon it had as we'll come now as any time.
 The last remarks of the senator from the Twenty-fourth were resented by Senator Warner He urged that any senator had the right to ask that the bill go over and his motion should not be questioned. He joined the senator from the Twenty-fourth and asked that Senator Marigold's motion be defeated. He was ready to discuss the question.
 Senator Plimpton said that while he had a great deal of respect for the chairman of the committee on appropri- ations, he felt that in this matter he was wrong in insisting upon the sen- ate's acting upon the report. The state of Connecticut owed Dr. Barnard a. debt. He was sorry that this bill had been looked upon as a pension. It was not It was a refunding of money that the great educator had spent out, of his own pocket for the benefit of Connecticut.

 Matters on the calendar were taken up
 Senate bill, that when a highway is laid out over railroad, the railroad commissioners may designate the bridge construction, was passed.
 At noon, the senate took up the order of the day, the bill punishing murder by life imprisonment only.
 The bill was adversely reported by the judiciary committee, and Senator Warner explained that the committee saw no reason for making change from the long existing law.
 Senator Futile advocated the bill in an extended speech, and argued that the state might no longer usurp the right of God to take human life. He, made an able argument on this line, and named instances where lives had been wrongfully taken through errors of the law.
 Senator Warner argued that human life would not be protected with a re- duction of penalty, and after some fur ther debate Senator Tuttle's bill was rejected, he alone voting for it.
 Bill prohibiting trout fishing in Stam- ford, etc., until 1900. was called up, the senate amendments rejected and the bill passed in concurrence with the house.
