The louise Committee on General Laws
held a three-hours' session last night,
all tho time being consumed in listening
to an argument by Hon.. Alexander Ham
lton, Of Petersburg, against certain feaI
lures OF the proposed bill to create o
Bureau OF Insurance. The bill before the
committee Is the Cation substitute for the
Sale bill, which was passed by the Sem.
ate. Mr.. Hamilton made an elaborate
argument against certain features OF the
measure offered by Mr.. Cation. This was
his second speech. or rather the 5conclu-
sior OF one a day or two ago, when he
spoke for four hours. 5s . Vi.
The committee rose without action. at
ter fixing allearing for next Tuesday. at

The Senate Committee on Roads and
Internal Navigat lion met last night and
considered the Edmondson road bill, which
has been passed by the House USE IN nc
measure Ia a general road bill, and pro-
syides, among other things, for the work
Ing OF conYicts from the various counties
on the roads OF those counties This
feature OF the bill Is one which Will prob
ably be amended by the committee. In
It's stead will be substituted some pro-.
vgion by which counties 80 desiring can
secure convicts from the penitentlary to
work tho public roads. The committee
merely discussed without action the nlll
before It., and will meet again in Q day
or two.
The House Committee for Courts OF
Justice will meet next Monday at 10 a..
M, to take up the Fulton nti-trust bill,
offered a few days ago. This Is regarded
MS the most drastic measure OF the KIND
proposed at this session. The discussion
OF the bill before the committee promises
to be an interesting one. At this late
stage OF the session. however, a bill
which Will provoke discussion has little
show of passage. for both houses have
their hands full with mea sllres already
on the calendars or In the committees and
Sin advanced stages Of consideration. 3
