Prom certain significant little incidentsof yesterday, which are readily interpret-ed.by astute parliamentarians, it is evi-dent that the legislators are not going toturn, a deaf ear to all legislation notbearing on the constitutional: convention,but many limitations will be placed uponthe bills introduced. v If they involve nocontroversy, no tiresome debates, ;md nominute/investigation,- their 'passage'; maybo counted upon. ....Biit.inttt jso^wir.h;- that"class of business which,has recently beenput in .the category of "general; legisia-1ion;*' Once- the* judgeship matter- is set-tled, the Second Auditor elected, "and a'few. other uniriiportant questions ended,the decks will.be cleared for action, andthe debates on the constitutional conven-tion^ given full play. The Senate, at 'th-->very outset,' declared itself against;indis-criminate law-"makirig.
Thirty-eight,of.the. forty senators werein their seats- yesterday, but twelve mem-bers of the House were missing. Thoselaw-makers in attendance, for the- mostpart, -seemed inclined to-'procrastinatefor a day or so, though several bills ofimportance were introduced.
Two of these bore on the constitutionalconvention and one on the subject of pen-sions. The Senate and House even- wentso far as; to:suspend the rules and passseveral unimportant, local measures,though one member of the last-mention-ed body entered his protest against thiscourse.
Resolutions of* respect to the memoryof.Queen Victoria were passed without adissenting voice, and the Governor's mes-sage was read and carefully, listened to.
It.bore upon* many questions of burninginterest, and will doubtless be carefullystudied when it appears in printed form. -
A member of the House offered a reso-lution providing that all questions touch-ing the constitutional convention be con-sidered by the House in Committee ofthe Whole, "and .that after the morning
work each day the House resolve itselfinto such committee^for the exclusive con-sideration of .such matter. The motive. o£the resolution was a desire to save mea-sures bearing on' the .constitutional.con-vention from going to the committees,
and thereby to insure general and lengthy,
discussions 'iin'hihe Hoiise. This lookedlike business and smacked of earnestness
of purpose. The resolution, however,
went over until to-day. •\u25a0 —: .<».
