There has been a vast amount Of rot
circulated respecting a crazy princess

have to look to those that are confined.

that some of those great metropolitan

several of their staff shut up in mad

such an experience and possibly illus

Various Resolutions of Thanks Adopt.
ed by Both HOuses-CiOs-
ing Sessions.

The Legislature adjourned sine die last
evening. Tire only bill passed during the
day was the Duncan bill. providing for the
cult Court TO audit township warrants. and
thus in a measure correct the numerous
scandals in township government growing
out of the issue of fraudulent warrants.
The Governor had intimated that he would
receive no bills after Saturday night, but il
was understood that he would accept this
measure. A hard fight was made against
it upon the floor of the House by school
supply firms. 1t was passed by a
narrow vote. The Governors veto of
the general pharmacy bill was sustained
by heavy vote. During the day the Gov
ernor sent two more vetoes. both of which
were sustained. One of these vetoed meas
ures was the Newly bill. permitting ire
spOnsible persons TO sue in will contests
without giving bond. This bill had been
prepared to meet the of the people
who are desiring TO break the will of the
late John Heron, who bequeathed a large
fortune to the indianapolis Art Associa-
tior. The other was the Senate bill to le-
galize settlements with county treasurers
under the fee and salary law Of 1879, while
the fee and salary law of 1891 was pending
in the courts. The House passed an I'M
usual encomium upon Speaker Petit when
Mr. Swope leader of the Democratic side,
offered resolution containing the thanks
of the House TO the speaker for his emil
nent fairness, and more than half the men,
bers of the House. including all the Demo-
Gratis who have been prominent, spoke in
favor Of the resolution.

SPEAKER PETTIT's RULINGS.
Mr.. Bynum Still Maintains shat They
Were Incorrect.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In criticising the action of the House on
the street-car-fare bill my only purpose
was TO enter protest against the rulings
OF the speaker because i did not believe
they ought to be allowed 10 pass unnoticed.
The speaker, in his defense in yesterday
mornings Journal, is not strictly parlia-
mentary in tone in casting an imputation
upon my motives in criticising his rulings
This, however. may be because of a want
of confidence in the soundness of his posi-
ton. In order TO relieve his mind how
ever. / will say TO him and all others that
/ am not In the employ OF the Citizens
Street-ralroad Company, never in it's
employ, am not acquainted with the own
ers and was never solicited. directly or i'm
directly, by any person 10 express views
upon this or any other matter in which
the company had any interest.
The first objection that the speaker
makes TO my position is that the authori-
ties l cited are somewhat ancient one be-
ing in 1913 and the other in 1851 This may
be a serious objection, but the same might
be urged against the laws of Moses / am
taken tor task for not stating the facts
upon which the rulings | cited were made
The facts We're that the motion to recon-
slider had been laid upon the table and the
speaker held that the latter motion could
not be reconsdered. What more was
necessary 1t matters not what the House
refused 10 reconSider--thc principle Is gem
eral and is equally applicable in all cases.
Ii is said by the speaker that l did not
distinguish between negative and an
affirmative vote on the motion TO lay on
the table, and that a negative vote may be
Teconsidered. While there Is some differ-
ence upon some questions "a 10 whether
the vote is In the affirmative. or i'm the
negative. and which l shall discuss farther

FINAL ADJOURNMENT.
Little or No Business at the Evening
Sessions.

The Sxtieth General Assembly adjourned
sine die, after a brief evening session OF
both houses last evening. upon receipt of
messages from the Governor giving a list
OF bills approved and declaring that he
should have further communications for
either house. Among the bills signed We're
the general medical bill and the Duncan
bill, passed by the House in the morning.
No other business was transacted during
the evening except a resolution in the
House voting $50 extra pay TO pages. One
of these was BIish Monyhan. and his
father, a member of the House, protested
against the resolution. The honor of max
ing the motion TO adjourn sine die in the
House was accorded to the Hon. Peter
Wallrath, member from Cass and Miami
and he made quite an elaborate speech in
doing that called forth the hearty ap-
pIauSe OF the House.

| The committee returned with the report
that the House had nothing further to
communicate to the Senate. but was wait

/ The committees report was scarcely made
when Private Secretary Wilson appeared
with the Governor last message trans
| hitting several bills he had signed and one
| he had vetoed, with the information that
he had no further business to lay before
| the Senate. In a moment or two Is. Wilson
| Smith came with message from the
| House informing the Senate that 1T was
about to adjourn. For a quarter of an
hour the Senate chamber resembled a re-
| ception room. Many ladies were on the
floor gayly chatting with the senators. At
five minutes after O'Clock the lieutenant
| governor mounted his rostrum and said
that the Senate choir would sing one verse

was entertained Many senator's joined in
