 rSrsctal Correspondence.1
 Hartford, July 5'-With the retire =, of tbe vexed public utilities ques- .aa De from the spot light there Is brought s-r.rd by Senator Judson the novel ,i+ion that the Connecticut gen assembly shall fix date for its , odiournment and then adjourn at .;re whether it has finished its -.,,ass ar not, and he intimates that .onar way to go about this is to s.do the larger matters first. His ,ntion fixes July 27 for adjourn .. sine die of the senate, and the houses have to adjourn together, .hat if the senate passes the reso- lnaop which it is to discuss and vote .n this afternoon, the house will prae- a..,,v he obliged to take some action ,ootinp to the same thing.
 n be sure. the house doesn't need to pass this date, but can pass any it chooses and a committee of confer ] .,.o hetween the two can settle what late shall he that Of final adjourn an4 Rnt Senator Judson's move rros rise to the hope that the termina- finn of the session may be nearer than bss seomed 10 be the case. Under the p.nal methods of dilatory procedure, ubieb have been fully as much in evi- ipnee this session as ever, there are syilr three months more work for the iva houses-at three days a week. To gsi through by the 1st of August will mean rushing everything and undoubt- siy leaving some matters unattend- adtO
 May Recess Until Fall.
 There has been a growing sentiment n favor of q recess until next fall, but ast week the house voted this down hy a vote of easily two to one, so that st would seem very difficult to get that bo1y to consider such a thing, and the senator's would rather finish without recess if possible. When the house faces the exact situation as it comes from the senate, however, it is possi- be that a different view of this phase of the question may be found to pre- saIl One great difficulty lies in the sct that members cannot draw their s0O until the end of the session. and he attaches of the two houses are not supposed to, though this can be fixed ER
 One interesting matter which came to the front last week Is redistricting be state so as to make five congress onal districts, which Senator Bar buns committee has been wrestling Fith. Several plans have been pro pOsed, two or three by Republicans Ind at least one by Democratic mem bers of the committee. Senator Platt pf Waterbury is a member of the com hiree and has a plan which Is quite Favored It does not provide for five Pure Republican districts. as has been Pated, and this cannot be done by any easonable division.
 Senator Platts plan puts Windham, New London, Middlesex and Holland fOuntes into one district, most of hartford county in another, New Ha- len city and enough of the rest of De county to make about 225,0OO peo- le. not including Waterbury. Mert- len and slice along the northern order Of the country, in another; Wa erbury, Meriden and some southern owns in Hartford county; some north n towns in Fairfield county, and Atehheld county in another. and the eS or Fairfield county in the fifth. De New Haven and Fairfield county strlcts would be debatable ground ne others would be surely Republican aess there are important changes in De lineup.
 Income Tax Badly Beaten.
 Last week Wednesday the senate Sposed of the income tax amend eht to the federal constitution, which lst be ratified by every other state men considers it to get into the con Huhon. It has never been supposed
