IMPORTANT MEASURES
AWAITING ORGANIZATION
Special to The Evening Journal.

Dover, Jan. 10.-When the dead
locked Legislature finally succeeds in
effecting an organization, there will be
no dearth OF legislation to be consid-
cred, at the outset of the session. Much
of this legislation is now being Wig
.orously discussed by the Legislators who
are filling in" time around the State
House until the Houses shall organize.
One OF the most important bills to
be considered, and that for which
farmers and grangers' conventions in
all parts of the State have passed reso-
lutions of recommendation, is the
prison reform law, relating to the two
lower counties. 1t provides that long
term prisoners OF Kent and Sussex
counties shall be confined in the New
Castle county workhouse, and sub
jected to the same restrictions as are
those prisoners. The cost mentioned
in the bill is so cents per day, per
capita but this may be lowered. as the
cost in New Castle county is 40 cents.
Jails in lower Delaware are in great
need OF immediate improvement. and
the new bill would doubtless have many
supporters.
Another measure which is OF interest
to farmers and cattle owners, is one
providing for the protection Of animals
against contagious diseases, and CIV
ing to Delaware the same projections
as is enjoyed in other States, regard
ing a test OF all cattle offered at pub
lie or private sale. It provides for a
quarantine of dogs affected with rab-
les. by a proclamation Of the Cover
nor, where the local authorities have
been dilatory 1t also provides for a
reimbursement to the owner. who has
suffered loss, after having fully COM
piled with the proper regulations.
Another important bill in relation tS
the Delaware Hospital for the Insane
asking for an additional appropriation
Of $4,000. and an appropriation Of
$40.O 900 for the erection OF a separate
hospital for negroes.

MAY FORCE ORGANIZATION
specIal to Tho Evening journal.

Dover, Jan. 1O.-A report was cur
rent here today that the Democratic
members of the Legislature are con-
sidering several plans with view to
forcing an early organization Of the
Legislature. One Of the propositions
is to inform the Republican factions
that they (the Democrats) will refuse
to come to Dover until the majority
members shall have effected an organ
ization whereby public business can be
transacted.
The other is to combine with the
side which has the most votes and
elect it's candidates, from Speaker OF
the House and President pro tempore
OF the Senate down to the pages. Some
Of the Democratic legislators declare
that they are tired OF dilly-dallying and
want the General Assembly to get down
