completion and dedication of the mon- ument will be arranged. Plans for or namental work that was not eontem- plated in the design made by the sculp- tor, Bella Lyon Pratt, of Boston, will be adopted. This will increase the outlay, but will add materially to the interest and art Of the memorial.

Cheney, president of the commission, was wounded in the battle of Antietam while with his regiment the Sixteenth Connecticut-and is one of the most popular veterans in ghe state.

 The Secretary of State, Theodore Bodenwein, has awarded the contract for publishing the cheap edition of the session laws to the Case, Lockwood & Brainard company of Hartford. The edition will consist of 5000 copies. The blue book comprising 4,5Jo copies will be printed by the same firm. It is six years since the last revision of the gen. eral statutes.

 The railroad commissioners have completed the inspection of the trolley roads in the state for this season, the total mileage of their lines is 700 in round numbers. The inspection of the steam roads will not be taken up until fall. The appropriation of s35,000 for the Danbury hospital is one of the gratifying features of the session. The people of Danbury have raised $35 GOO and the appropriation will give the managers a basis of $7O,O0O for begin ming the work. Senator Hoffman and doro rf ant NJ ton Rogers of the c. A. R., who is a member of the house from Danbury have worked indefatigably for the state appropriation. The new bill regulat- ing the inspection of oils which came in this morning from the committee on public health and safety Is from the workshop of Attorney General Hol- comb. The antiquities of the present laws on the subject have been cut out and the state board of health will be given the responsibility for inspections relieving the towns of the duty of ap- pointing oil inspectors

 Senator Chase of the committee of conference on the female factory in Spector bill has had a conference with the house members of the committee, Messrs. Alsof of Simsbury, and Tih- bits of Wallingford, and has agreed to concessions The term of office by the agreement is to be the same as that of the male deputies. The extension of the women commissioners for the ap- pointment of the female inspector Is authorized by the conference report. Of course 1t remains to be seen what ac- tion will be taken in the house on the relation of the female commissioners, which the representatives emphatically disapproved of few days ago. But Senator Chase has won tactical vic tory in the conference committee and will be sustained by the senate.
 The judiciary committee has not had a session this week and no action has been taken relative to the public ser vice corporation commission which has been recommended by Governor Wood ruff. The delay in considering the pro. Ject recommended by the governor does not mean that the committee Is op- posed to the idea, on the contrary there is strong cleavage toward the governors view Consideration of the public service cooperation measure will delay reports on some of the most important bills that have been heard since the session began. Should the commission be ordered these bills nc doubt would go over for two years the working out of the interests in volved being left to the commissioners The trend at the present time is ia vorable to this course.
