VOtes-and DOings of the General
Assembly
SO far no candidate for Senatorial
honors has been able to get the re-
quired number of votes to send him to
the United States Senate.
The supporters of. E.Addtcks have
continued to remain firm and cast their
ballots for him for both the long and
short term, and there is no indication
of break in their ranks.
The Democrats and so-called "Reg-
ulars" seem to have lost all hope Of
forming a coalition.
There are not more than five of the
so-called Regulars" in the Legisla-
ture who can be relied upon to join
the Democrats and betray the Repub-
lican voters of the State by the election
of a Democrat to the United States SEN
ate.
The Democrats have given few COM
plimentary votes this week, but there
has been no decided change.
Monday.
DR.. H. G. Buckmaster gave notice Of
a bill to regulate the practice of veier-
mary surgery. 1t is proposed to require
veterinarians to take examinations be-
fore board, as is required in the case
of medical doctors.
Reading was given Mr.. Tyres bill to
authorize the governor to appoint
stenographic reporter for the Court Of
Chancery. It provides that he shall
receive $40 a day for each days attend
ance. This bill is in opposition to the
bill introduced in the Senate to raise
the salary Of the present court stem
ographer $500 and to add work Of the
Court of Chancery to his duties.
Representative Jones introduced an
act, the purpose Of which is to remove
that provision of the law which requires
that the election of delegates to a State
convention for the nomination of can
didates shall take place under the
primary election law. Since that pre-
vents the holding ofsuch elections until
after the third registration day i'm
August it may become inconvenient at
times. The primary law, which is
chapter 1893, of volume 20, is to continue
to apply TO the usual county primaries.
Mr.. Lawson gave notice of a bill to
appropriate $751; 600 to Delaware College

son, the college used S6,5OO in excess of
the S25,OOO appropriated 800 for
workshop and $1,000 for a hot bed for
the agricultural department
A bill for the protection of black bass
will be introduced by Mr.. Austin. They
are to be caught with a hook and line
or hand line containing not more
than three hooks; for catching them
in net a fine of s25 is to be imposed.
They must be caught between June i
and March 1 and no fish less than
seven inches must be kept, under
penalty Of S5 a fish.
Mr.. Lingo, of the committee on
miscellaneous business, reported favor
ably upon the bill prohibiting the
manufacturer and sale Ofcigarettesa and
cigarette paper.
Mr.. Bennett gave notice of a bill to
revoke the charter of the Commercial
Fire Insurance Company, which was
granted in 1897. This is endorsed by
Insurance Commissioner George w.

misused and abused the corporate pow
ers until it has become one of the most
notorious of wild cat insurance con-
Germs"
Mr.. Newton presented a joint resOlu-
tion for heappointmento of a joint COM
mittee to visit the steamboat and rail-
road companies and endeavor to secure
special rates for the shipping of ma

resolution was adopted by the House.
In the Senate acts were introduced
authorizing the appointment of an adj
ditional notary public for Odessa, and
authorizing the appointment of an adj
ditional justice of the peace for Masten's
Tuesday.
The forty three appointments sub
mitted by Governor John HUM to the
Senate were confirmed Tuesday by that
body, sitting in executive session. In
each case the executive committee,
which comprises Senators Alice, Sparks
and McNulty, reported favOrably and
the report was adopted. 1t had been
expected that opposition might develop
to certain of the names, but if this OPP
position did develop it did not make
enough impression to prevent their
con onfirmatiOu.
Senator Pennewill introduced an act
