DovRR, March 24.-The House EN-
ployed the time at its disposal in pro
fltsDle manner at tho morring session
no portion of the hour being wasted.
Business began as soon a. the iourna
of yesterday was approved and continued
up 70 l2.l3 without interruption.
The Governor exercised his right OF
veto this morning in the case of House
Dill No. SOL, being an amendment to the
act to establish State library and pro-
vldlng for an appropriation OF $75 to de.
fray certain expenses
Tho Governor in his veto intimated
that all the expenses which should be
properly incurred in tho maintenance of
the State Library had been provided for
IN the act governing that institution and
the amendment was altogether super
fous and the appropriation unnecessary
The effort made by certain parties in
the neighborhood of Drummond's Mill
Pond, New Castle county, to deplete the
quantity of fish In that body of water
was exposed when the bill was brought
out for final reading. 1t could not find
father who was willing to own it.
Tho bill was presented in the shape OF
an amendment to the act in relation to
fishing in Drummond's 8 mill pond, which
act permits the Use of seine net with
meshes three and one-half inches wide
under certain restrictions.
The amendment reduced the mesh to
three inches, which would make a ma
terlal difference in the number of fish
caught at each haul and have tendency
to destroy the quality OF the fish SO far
as TIER marketable value was concerned.
A renonstrance from the owners of
land on and contiguous to she pond was
read, and it was then discovered that the
amendment was simply TO benefit people
who could have no interest in the matter
outside OF the profits they could derive
fom being permitted to catch a greater
Quantity Of fish than the law now per-
mits.
When vote was taken no one could
be found who was in favor of the
measure.
