 Hartford, Conn.,, July 19.0The Gen. eral Assembly will probably adjourn either August 9th or some time the following week. The Senate has set the final date of adjournment forward a to August 3rd and the aous eneS oDe this resolution, but no one inIormeo on the state of business LOOKS 10 see the work of the session completed m two weeks. It would be possiple to finish up in three weeks. however, Ss necially if Friday sessions are held, and there seems to be little doubt that this can be brought about in four weeks. at the most, which would mean proroguing about August 12th-
 The cali of the committees in the there are still about twenty matters in the hands of committees, ana the E number in the hands Of the clerk or bills and of members or one mousse or the other who are waiting a favorapie . Opportunity to introduce them, would do1,htJess double this amount. There may be fifty matters still to be ols- posed of, but only about a dozen are of prime importance. These lncluus the public utilities bill, the eiectrlciIS hill. the Australian ballot, the amend ments to the corrupt practises act, the bill covering the transportation or gar haze and the establishment Of garDage production plants in certain eastern Connecticut towns and others.
 Meantime in the Senate there re- mains to be thrashed out the situa- tions to an official to enforce the auto mobile laws, the normal school scnoidr, ships bill, the state tax, the personal tax. the Billiard Company charter, ho11rs of labor for women and minors and the Sunday law. All but the nrst and last two have been acted on by the House. The House has on US calendar the prevention of a procrea-
 I,n a barber commission, the inheritance tax and the act concerning equitable pro- cess after judgment, all of which are important and have not yet reacheo the Senate. There are between the houses several important matters such as the employers liability law and the bill doing away with the limit Of dam ages for death by accident.
 While the number of matters upon which there is likely to be protracted discussion is diminishing and the House shows more and more tendency to limit debate and order the previous question. no five minute rule has been passed this session and small matters such as the Stony Creek Association charter, which has vet to go into the Senate may take up much time-
 No one can say how much time will be taken up by the public utilities bill in the House. It may be that that bodv can be so Straightened out to pass the Barnum bill without much debate but there is every likelihood that numerous amendments will be of- fered in the House. In this case the measure is apt to take two or three days there It will hardly take much time in the Senate if the House passes the Barnum bill, which has really been framed with a view to getting some thing the Senate would pass more than anything else, but House amendments in it when it reaches the upper House would make. a big difference and the~e are possibilities of a prolonged session in tkis matter.
