local bill except those that were put on Saturday. When the session had closed Monday there was not then a single local bill left that any Senator wanted passed. The House cal- endar is still large and cumbersome, and there are a number of important general measures on the big calendar. A large number of these will be un- passed when the House takes It's ad- journment tonight until the ninth day of July.
 The Senate calendar has a number of general bills which must of neces- sity go over until the July session. But there are no administration measures unpassed in the Senate and none of general importance in the House. The Governor has already had passed all the Legislation in which he is interest- ed. This gubernatoriai Legislation was completed when the Senate passed tneir revenue bills at the Saturday session.
 It is confidently believed the fear that the Legislature might not get through in time to adjourn tonight was sroundless. There is only one possible contingency that would pre- vent the adjournment that has peen agreed upon. There are two confere committees out, and there is possion- ,tv. but not a probability, of oise. grement as long as the reports are ho' made. ,..on uaa ratsad to settle the differences between tha Senate and the House over the Item in inc general revenue Dill reiatins to niaros organs and sewing macnihes rha license tax on companies ooihs riano and organ business was smaller than the tax on the companies ooins sewing machine business In the pen ate. the item was amenoeo sC
 
 Businesses the same, the House refused to accept the amendment, and con- ference committee was raised.
 uousen Will Agree on Hti.
 If is understood. however, the com ,,ittee has reached an agreement, ana that there is no possibility for oii" ference between the two Houses.
 The second disagreement occurreo over the House amendment to the sen ate bill which provided a way under the Alabama law for the organization or comnanies to do a live stock insurance business. The amendment, however, IS nof considered of sufficient importance to cause any serious disagreement. Tn the Senate. two bills in which general interest is felt will in all prop ability go over to the July session. me John anti-lobby bill. about which so much was said in the early part of the session. is still on the Senate Calendar The Senate, for some unknown reason has purposely ignored 1t. In us Fesu- lar nlace on the special order calendar, it has come again and again, but the Senate has passed it by in silence
 The bill could be passed today. But it is known the sentiment or the sen ate is against the bill in It's present form It Is known the Senate would demand certain important amendments he made to the bill. If the bill should be passed, 1t would have to be passed in an amended form. and while the amendments were being made there would always be the possibility or disagreement between the two houses It is therefore believed the bill will be tacitly permitted to go over until the July session.
 Six o'clock Measure to Go Over.
 The Lusk bill to compel all saloons fin Alabama to close at o'clock. will also be allowed to go over until the | TuIv session. Tn the first place, 1t would be useless to spring the fight to- day, for the bill could not possibly pass | both Houses. It is Senate measure, | and the best that could be done for 1t would be its passage through the Sen ate granting that the Senate were will | ing to pass It.
 The House will today waste no time I on its own measures, and the Senate II
 will waste no times on Senate meas ures It would be time wasted for the Senate to pass one of its own bills, or i for the House to do the same thing. The work of both Houses today will be indiscriminate. Possibly every branch of legislation will be touched upon except railroad legislation which 1 has already been completed. With the exception of this subject. bills of ev- | ery character will be considered, and the Legislature will do a little of ev- erything.
 Some fear was expressed yesterday that there would not be a quorum of the lawmakers present today. but this fear is believed to be groundless. A considerable number of Senators and Representatives have. however, return ed home. Those who have remained have been uneasy at the large number who went away, but in all probability there is more than enough to make a quorum and complete the transaction of the business of the Legislature.
