 Hartford, May 28.-The senatorial re- districting resolution came up as the special order of the day in the senate at noon to-day. The committees plan divides the state into thirty-five dis tricts, giving but one to Holland coun- ty. Senator Bradstreet's amendment, offered last week, calls for thirty-six districts, giving Holland county two senators, and makes minor changes in Litchfield and New London counties.
 The senate adopted the amendment dividing the state into thirty-six in- stead of thirty-five districts after an hours debate. An amendment by Sem ator Woodruff substituting the Chat field" plan for the adopted "Isbell" plan was rejected. The thirty-six- district plan was then adopted.
 The senate this afternoon passed the Bridgeport amendment regarding the mayors appointments, and sent it at once to the clerk of engrossed bills.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Plans for National Convention are Now
 All Made.

Plans for National Convention are Now
 All Made.
 Extensive preparations for the annual national convention of the Knights of Columbus are in progress. The con- vention will be called to order Monday morning, June 1, at St. Aloysius Hall, on Meadow street and continue for three days.
 Delegates from practically every state in the union and from several Ca nadian cities will be present and much interesting and important business will be transacted.
 The Knights of Columbus has grown immensely during the past five years and now numbers ninety thousand on its rolls.
 The growth has been largely due to the decision to admit social members and so strongly attractive has the so- cial side become that these members now far outnumber the insured.
 At first the organization was pudely an insurance band. but the social ad- vantages were so many, that prominent and influential men clamored for ad- mission with the result as above noted.
 Edward L. Hearn of Boston, Supreme Grand Knight of the order, will arrive in town Friday and will stop at the Tontine Hotel, which will be the head quarters of the delegates during the convention, and every available inch of space of which has been engaged.
 P. J. Bailey of Cleveland, national treasurer, and man of high standing and pronounced influence in the order, will be present at the convention.
 Daniel L. Colwell, of this city, na- tional secretary, will present his usual very interesting report.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Agatn Develops Acute Weakness Stop
 Loss Orders DisIodged.

New York, May 2s.-The stock market developed acute weakness again to-day. There was evidence this morning also of pressure to sell stocks, which encour- aged the professional bears, who offered down prices briskly and succeeded in dislodging stop-loss orders, which had evidently been freely placed all through the market slightly below the existing price level. The stream of offerings on this account gained notably in volume when prices broke through the previous low level. The large selling, which spread pretty generally through the list, was as little accounted for by any news as that of last week and Monday.
