LEGISLATIVE DOINGS,
NEW HAVEN BILLS ON STARRED
 LIST.

ital Ready--Bill for Waterbury
 Teachers Insurance Fund-Notes.
 Hartford, March 29.--The last days of
 March have found the two houses with a fair amount of business on hand. This
 morning there was the customary in-
 Aux of unfavorable reports from com
 mittees. The measures ready for action in the senate included the bills for the estab- lishment of rifle ranges to be used by
 the National Guard and the regular ap- propriations for the military in the state for two years from September 90, l19O5, and resolutions extending the time for building the road of the Torrington
 and Winchester Street Railway compa- my and the time for organizing the
 Thomaston and Watertown Electric
 Railway company; also the bill making
 the salary of the dairy commissioner
 S1, 800 and the deputy commissioner $1,5oO, with the customary allowances
 for travelling expenses.
 The starred numbers on the house icalendar this forenoon included the New Haven and Waterbury bills de- scribed in yesterdays correspondence. There were several resolutions extend- ing the time for organization of corpor-
 ations, particularly for the organiza-
 tion of the Riverside Trust company, the Litchfield Electric Light and Power company, amending the charter of the
 Bridgeport Trust company and extend- ling the period for organizing the Wind sor Locks Trust and Safe Deposit com
 pany. -...--..-
 The bill requiring insurance compa- lnies seeking admission to the state to have paid-up capital of $10O,00O and
 the bill prohibiting cock-fighting were also ready in the house. l..
 United States Senator Morgan C..
 Bulkeley, who is a member of the com
 mission on repairs of the capitol had a
 conference yesterday with Senators
 Whitney and Barney in regard to the bill extending the commission. Senator
 Bulkeley felt that it would not be nec- lessary to take that course, as the re- lpairs could be attended to under ordi- nary supervision. But he was inform | ed that the intention of the bill was that the commission should consider land report plans for the new state building to be erected opposite from the capitol grounds for the use of state officials. This being the case, Senator Bulkeleys views were not pressed. The supervision of repairs on the capitol and the fireproofing of the upper sec- tions would not require in themselves the continuance of the commission. Hon. Allan W. Paige, chairman of \ the judiciary committee, was, with United States Senator Bulkeley and
 Governor Henry Roberts, guest of
 honor Tuesday night at the banquet given at the Hartford club in honor of
 Congressman George L. Lilley, of Wa terbury. The banquet was a brilliant affair and called leading politicians of the state together for the renewal of
 memories and associations that will
 long be of interest.
 Senator Peck, in a reminiscent mood this morning, recalled some pleasant
 memories of Secretary Holcombe, of the Chinese legation at Pekin, which he visited while on a trip around the world. MT. Holcombe was at one time
 teacher in the Hartford high school, and his wife was Miss Sage, of Hart ford, lady of charming social attrac- tions. Senator Peck while in Pekin Twas often at the headquarters of the 1 legation. He was chatting with Rev.
 Dr. E. P. Parker, chaplain of the sen- ate, when his "reminiscences were giv- en, making delightful ten minutes. i In the senate a bill amending the charter of Waterbury, but in reality compelling the teachers of the public schools in that city to contribute to all insurance fund for the benefit of them selves, was, on motion of Senator Ham,
 mer, chairman of the committee on ed- ucation, referred to the committee on cities and boroughs. Senator Hammer
 thought the reference should be chang ed, as the amendment of the city char ter of Waterbury is required. Speak l ing of the merits of the bill, he. thought
