BANKING BILL IS PASSED BY THE
 HOUSE.

Hartford, April 1.-The bank bill passed the house to-day with little de- bate and with only one amendment tackled on, which, in effect, is a correc- tion of a competitors error. The bill is satisfactory to both the trust com panies and the committee, although at this time it is predicted the measure may not have an easy road through the senate.
 The bill was called from the calendar and Representative Hooker explained it much along the same lines as in the previous discussion. He asked to be permitted to make an amendment striking out the word such In the line where it read "all such savings The amendment was accepted.
 Then Representative Cruttenden, of Norwich, offered an amendment to in- sert after the word banks" In the first section the following: Investments of such savings bank deposits shall not be subject to section S402, of the general statutes, governing trust companies. He said that the amendment would act as clearing clause.
 Representative Hooker said that this amendment was offered to the commit tee and it was agreed by both the com mittee and representatives of the trust companies that there was noting In the amendment which would change the bill in any respect. This amend ment was defeated and the bill as amended passed the house.

Senator Walsh later said that 1t was evident that senators were not familiar with the matter under discussion and although somewhat familiar himself, the arguments were along a new line even to him. He moved that the bill be tabled, which was done.
 After this the bill relating to the em- ployment, instruction and school at tendance of children was passed with an amendment providing that school agents shall not make inquiries in places where there are either town, city or boroughs courts. Senator Walsh said l that while agents may prosecute par ents or guardians for failure to send children to school, they should not usurp the duties of prosecuting attor- | neys.
 In line with school legislation the house passed bill concerning support of schools by which it is provided that ' the state treasurer shall pay to towns having grand list of less than a mill | lion the sum of $25 for each school child who has an average attendance for the | year. Representative Gardner of South ington made long address on the bill and there was considerable discussion on it's provisions. Representative Whi- ton raised the point that the bill should go to the committee on appropriations, as it involved an expense of $6c00O yearly. His point was not supported and the bill passed as reported. The other four bills relating to im- provements in New Britain, which were tabled ir the senate yesterday, were called up again to-day, and each took passage.
 | The bill reGuirin~ that public &C., countants shall be licensed by state board to be created was rejected by the senate on unfavorable report of the 1 judiciary committee. Senator Wash said that such law was not necessary. | Hartford, April 17.-Once more charg- es of graft, gratuities, excessive expen~ ditures and other terms were used in the house to-day, the discussion arising over the passage of a resolution author izing the comptroller to pay Lincoln
 w. Morrison $25O for compiling the in- dexed bills. The total charge was $500 and the senate had already passed a resolution to pay $25O as their share.
 Different members expressed their opinions rather freely, disappearing the lpayment of the bills, saying that com potent men could be engaged to do the work for $1OO. The resolution was final 1 ly passed.

of settlement agreed upon by the
men 1t was stated by a man in au-
thority that the prospects for a peace

the HAGUE CONFERENCE
Invitations to the Second Peace
Meeting Have Been Issued.
10 to Take Place In June and Question
Of Limiting AIYnaments viii
Be Considered.

st Petersburg, April 4.-The nego
tiations regarding the program fol
The Hague peace conference have been
practically finished. Prof. De Martens
who was received in audience by EN-
peror Nicholas Tuesday informed the
Associated Press Wednesday that a
Russian explanatory note will be
made public in few days and the
formal issuance of the invitations by
Holland is expected next week. Though
definite statement regarding the
contents of the Russian note are not
obtainable 1t is understood that 1t will
communicate to the powers the reser-
walton by the United States and Great
Britain Of the right to introduce for
discussion at the conference the ques-
ion of the limitation of ornaments,
the American reservation including
also a discussion of the Drago die
trine. 1t is intimated that Russia
will not oppose the proposed discus
sion. The Russian program issued
last March. which does not mention
ornaments, will, however. be sub
mitted to the conference, unchanged,
According to Prof. de Martens, Russia
believes the time is not ripe for the
discussion of the question Of the limi-
tation Of ornaments, as practical re-
suits can not be obtained but If the
United States and Great Britain are
resoluely determined to bring the sub
ject before the conference Russia Is
not inclined to insist on its exclusion
In consequence of the uunsuccess-
full war, Russia's army and fleet are
far below their normal strength and
efficiency and she is not willing to re-
strict her freedom Of action in resum-
ing her proper military position.
