showed this morning in the disposal
of both house and senate bills there is
yet some grounds for hope that the
legislature will catch up with its work
sufficiently to adjourn at the end of
the week. During the morning session
n total Of ten, both house and senate
bills passed, two failed to pass, seven
senate bills and two house bills were
indefinitely postponed, and, at noon
there were 81 house and senate bills
up for third reading in the house,
During the session to date there have
been q total OF 47S bills introduced in
the house Of which 116 have been post,
poned, 81 failed to pass, As were with
drawn and 234 passed the house, leav-
ing a total Of SO house bills yet to be
acted upon. This however, does not
include the big grist Of appropriation
bills that are due from the ways and
means. committees which will aggre'
gate over 60 separate bills. The com
mittee will report in % appropriation
bills this afternoon, aggregating over
$l 100000 for the different boards, de-
artments and institutions and will pass
upon all Of the balance at tonights
session. AS the house will be re.
quired, under its rules, to go into com
mittee Of the whole for the consider
alton Of every appropriation bill, the
passing upon all OF these bills will re-
quire great amount Of time and, if
any fight is TO be made upon any of
them, the work Of the session will be
hampered to greater extent.
