PREDICTION MADE AFTER cAU-
 GUS OF DEMOCRATS.
TO VOTE ON TUESDAY
Several Bills of Interest to Eastern
 Connecticut Introduced Yesterday New London Bill Still in Committee.

Hartford, Conn. Jan. 30-The gener- al assembly had an easy day today with very little new business sent in. The house members were expectant that some suggestion would be made by the committee on contingent ex- penses on the matter of transportation of members, and that the New London harbor repeal measure would come in. The latter was not destined to reach the house as it had to be held under ne rules for day in the senate before transmission to the lower body. The mileage question will be reported up- on Tuesday. Few members look for any plan which will save them the ex- pense of mileage. Probably two score members were absent today.
 Caucus or Highway commissionership.
 During the afternoon democratic senators caucused on the highway commissionership, and there were oth- CT meetings, chiefly of committees to organize The Consolidated Trolley Improvement association, composed of officials of cities and towns, had ar ranged for a meeting at the capitol at which consideration was to be given several bills which are to be sent in but the attendance of members was from Bridgeport on the 14th had for the most part failed to be delivered.
 Several Trolley Bills.
 The explanation is that as members did not get their seats until yesterday the huge quantity of mall sent to the capitol for them could not be distri- buted. Among the trolley measures are those providing for six fares fol. twenty five cents; to prevent riding on running boards, to prevent overcrowd- ing or cars, to compel companies to put on more cars during rush hours and to give cities and towns control over the tracks Of the company. There are some other bills of different character.
