It IS doubtful if ever except in
time of war, the Congress Of the
limited States enacted legislation
with such expedition as that dis
played in placing the coal bill on
the statutes. The bill, providing
that all duties collected on coal be
refunded to the importers for 'one
year, was reported to the House by
the Ways and Means Committee at
a quarter after twelve. Within an
hour it had been passed and sent
up to the Serate. There it was
promptly considered and so amen
ded as to place anthracite coal per-
petuallv on the free list, passed and
sent back to the House, where the
amendment was accepted and the
bill was ready to send to the Presi-
dent by a p. IN. The President
signed it the next day at noon.
Little hope is expressed that the
public will be benefited by the re-
fnoyal of the duty on coal. 1t is
feared that the local dealers will
buy up coal as fast as it is impor-
ted. and will so maintain the price.
Local dealers in Washington are,
saccordingtoTecent disclosures made
before the Senate Committee ap-
pointed to investigate the subject,
getting their soft coal for from s.. rs

DOINGS OF
THE LEGISLATURE.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY GETS DOWN
TO WORK.
Monday.

The two houses of the Legislature
reconvened Monday and managed to
hold two sessions, although they did
not transact much business. Two or
three bills for appoir ting additional
notaries public and bunch of notices
of bills of a miscellaneous character
were received.
One of the significant actions in the
House was the tabling Of the Hurlock-
Jones and the Lyons-ThOmpson con-
tests. That is the end Of them, and
the House will continue without any
change in its personel.
The largest ripple of the day in the
House was caused by Representative
Connelly's resolution for an investiga-
ton of the coal situation in Winning
ton, which did not get a very cordial
reception.
The Legislators are to visit the State
Hospital at Farihurst on Friday after
noon, leaving Dover, probably on the
10 train. DR.. J. J. Black, President Of
the Board of Trustees, George S. Ca
pelle aud DR.. J. H. Wilson, members
of the board, were in Dover in the IN
terest of the institution The trustees
are asking for an appropriation OfSll4,-
600 for the two years beginning with
January l, 1908.
What will probably be an important
measure was that OF which Representa-
tive Rose gave notice, to repeal the
manufacturers tax law, which will
probably mean the Te-enactment Of
the former law, which was called in
quisitorial because it requires manu-
facturer to pay a tax on the amount Of
business done.
Tuesday.
The House. Tuesday, elected Francis
NJ. Walker, Regular Republican, and
William L. Gooding, Democrat, House
attorneys.
The Union Republican Representa-
tives voted for the Regular Republican
nominee, but declined to vote when
when the Democratic nominee was be-
ing elected.
The election of the latter was secured
through a coalition of the Regulars
and Democrats.
Representative Connolly gave notice
of an act appropriating $40 900 fol
Delaware's representation at the st.
Louis Exposition. The bill cOntem-
plates the erection of the State building

ular and Union Republicans. elected
