 Hartford. July Whether or moi the Connecticut general assembly will adjourn on the 27th of this month re. mains 10 be seen, though there is not a newspaper man among the correspond ents and reporters vino can be nude to admit the possibility of such a thing. Senator Judson is anxious 10 adjourn on that date without regard 10 the condition of the business, though deslrous of making every ef. fort to get out of the way all matters which are of first importance. The senate last week Wednesday voted 10 adopt his attitude toward the subject. and yesterday the house voted 10 do the same tlng.
 It tried to so vote last week Thurs day. but affer Mayor Dunn of Will. mantle had made clear his belief that the attempt tO adjourn so soon and so arbitrarily was intended to defeai the employers liabiInF law and the workmea's compensation act the house discovered that it had not a quorum present and thus bad to adjourn. There Is mneh important legislation to be cared for. and it k out of the qnes fion that even the important matters be settled and adjournment come with out day OH July 27. SO that doubtless this date will be extended but the senate seems averse 10 recess tlll fall. though the house would no doubt accede 10 such plan if the senate proposed it.
 Fellow Servant Rule to Go.
 The committee on the Judiciary yes terday reported to the senate its bill covering the subject of employers lla bility and workiugmen's compensation. and the combining of the two propo- sitions in one measure may tend to hasten final adjournment The fellow servant rule in the Connecticut stat utes is abolished by the bill. which covers thoroughly the two subjects The liability bill is Part A and Is short. while fhe compensation bill, Part E. h long and has many sections The for mer abolishes the doctrine of contrib utory negligence and substitutes for II that of comparative negligence and throws the burden of proof on the de fendant This law Is for those who dc not give notice that they will yolun. tarily come in under the compensation law, which has an optional character.
 The latter has scales of graded pay ments. makes the principal responsible for the agent gives the party liable for compensation the right to exact a physical examination, vests certain discretion in the court and provides means for the collection of claims The measure will doubtless be made the order of the day in the senate early next week.
 Last week Wednesday was not such busy day in either house after the senate had decided to adjourn sine die, regardless of the state of the business, on July 27. and neither house showed its knowledge, if il possesses such. that three months work-at the rate that the legislature has been going must be done before July 27 if ad- tournment Is to find the business of the session approximately finished About the only things which the sen ate did which amounted to much were the appointment of Senator Ham n to the taxation of land taken by mu. nicipalities for water supply purposes and the rejection of Il measure which would make il possible for the gov. ernor to remove county commission. CTS.
 The latter mater called for some thing If discussion on the part ef the Democrats. and senator Donovan took another occasiou to insult the Connecticut judiciary and remarked that judge of the supreme court was brother of man who bad been In possession of the lobby for some weeks. whatever that means Senator Spellacg headed the Democratic move meut for the passage nf the measure. which is a bet of Governor BaldWin's bnt both he and Senator Mitchell from that side of the house resented the remarks of Donovan and called the iat fer sharply to order The vote against the bill was strict party vote. r 10 10
