R,.Ssed Many House Bills
 Before Adjournment.
Upper House Provided for Committee to Sit During Recess and Draft
 Bills-Closing Hours
 Were Merry Ones.

The revenue bill was finally disposed of by the Senate yesterday. and this &C., compiishment was the most important feature of the closing day of the session.
 It was found after the bill received from the House had been amended by the Senate in a dozen or more features that full agreement on the part of the two Houses was something not to be expect ed and that a compromise could not be accomplished without concessions by both branches of tho Legislature. A Confer ence Committee was appointed and after time substantial agreement was reached and the bill was adopted.
 Another matter of importance disposed of before adjournment was the appoint ment by President pro tenn. Goldsby of q Senate Committee to sit during recess for the purpose of preparing laws on number of subjects to be presented to the Legislature when it reconvenes in Sep tember The House had refusd to join with the Senate in the raising of a joint committee for this purpose. so 1t was decided that the Senate should undertake the work single-handed.
 Lieutenant Governor Cunningham, in the course of an address before the Sen ate just before adjournment, took occa- sion to commend the action of the Senate in taking this course with reference to the work of drafting new laws.
 In the closing hours of the session the Senate threw from its shoulders the bur den of care it had borne since January 13, and without quite donning the cap and bells at least put away all serious ness for the time and indulged in diver sion appropriate to the occasion. The evening session was almost wholly given over 10 the customary pleasures and pleasantres
 A few local and general bills were passed, then came the formalities usual to adjournment. and then general hand shaking and good-byes all around. and the lawmakers left the Capitol.
