Bill.

Dover, DOL, March 25-The amendments
to the School bill have been placed In the
hand Of every member OF the House, and
after 1t has been discussed by the members
of the House early next week, there will
be but little difficulty In making what
changes are needed In passing the bill
The bill has been changed to inject the
approval of the Democratic members on
the colored school question.
The corporation act is now being print
cd and will in few days will BIO ready for
distribution. The most opposition urged
against 1t is the fact that II gives the Sec
rotary of the State power to grant char

matter. Then tits left to tho Courts to
decide whether that charter shall stand.
Another objection Is that which requires
that stakeholder In q corporation shall
be personally responsible for its debts to
the value OF his stock, In addition to
