of rain to-night bi?* puffers were pastel en the bill?
imari!* and fences of the city calling on all its
good people to mnip out to-morrow und take part
in the anfi-racctra.'k <lcmon?tr.ition. Thc feeling
had not ranalded by gp** menus, but cc-ems still
to 1*e -{rowing in intensity; and, rain or shine,
there is likely to he a inotnorahlo mass-meeting
here to-ninrrow noon. President Everard Kemp,
shall, of thc Citizens' League, his telegraphed to
every point in th.* State calling upon tho citi?
zens to . onie to tliis city to atf-n'l the meeting.
Mr. Barrett, <>f Ease**, offend a resolution in
the House this afternoon piantins/ pcrrnis-ion to
tho Citizens' l^*a^ue to u.?.* th- Assembly Cham?
ber for the demonstration; and, although fully
forty ineml-ern vo1<-.l in favor of the resolution
and only a few against it, Speak-r Flynn declared
the resolution lost. Few if any of the mon who
supported the Ru'-e hills will attend the m.iss
inietL'i-'. To be out of hearing of to-morrow'e
thunder th,* I.C2islaturo to-day adjourned for tho
week. Th" excuse given out for adjournment so
carly, ar i i "riod of tlie i-f ssion when it is cus?
tomary to sit till the latter part of thc week, was
that most of the members ever" going to Wash?
ington to s.-e the Inauguration, sind needed tito
Intervening time to make their arrangements.
Their haste) ro leave the capital was correctly
understood, however, and olieited from every side
new ami stronger c\pn*ssions of contempt than
have been heretofore hean}. Vigorous efforts
were made bj" the r.ieit:' men la-st niijtlit to get
enough votes to adjourn the Legislatnn sine die
this week. They worked like leavers in the rooms
of the members, and wet- still at it at ii o'clock
this morning, hut -auld get only (neal** members
tn agree to vote for the proposition. The other
members had Hills before tho Legislature not yet
ae.t?*d upon, and they demanded attention for their
measures. They ;rot promises that their bills
won hi be passe,.!, hut refused to l,e ogjalod by mero
words. When their hills were acted upon they
said they would think about bine-die adjourn?
ment.
When the House to-day adopted a resolution
providing that when adjournment took place lt
should lie until next Monday night. Mr. Hutchin?
son, of Moreer, moved that tho resolution be re
seinded, saying its adoption was tine to an agroo
ment among the raeetra.'k supporters, echo wanted
to escape the indignation meeting to be held ia the
Assembly Chatnbei to-morrow.
?? 1 know of no mam meeting to be held in thia
chamber to morrow," r? marked Speaker Flynn.
"Then you are the only member of the I?*gis
latars who ir, not aware of the matter,'' replied
Mr. Hutchinson. " It has been ad.ertis'd from ono
end of tho State to th* other. The ptOfte of New
Jersey have repeatedly linen refused a hearing on
these hills, ami nocv they are Coming hero to e_
press tin-ir wrath."
" They have received no permission to use thia
ohamber," .-aid the Speaker, "and th- House will
grant then no such permission. The. Superin?
tendent of the State House has been notified to
that etTeer.''
BubeeqnenUy, in the discussiou, the Speaker
acknowledged thal he was a strong friend of tho
ttaeing billa, but declared that he had opposed
adjournment for tie week to-day. Thi House
calendar waa loaded with business, and ho d*>
sired to soe it rdenied; but a majority of the
members wanted to get away, and they carried
the adjournment resolution. The motion to
rescind that resolution tear*, defeated, ti to -4.
Mr. Lane, of Futon, created another little stir
to-day, cc hen a bill affecting railroads WM umler
discussion, by announcing that his bill lilt? hid
lieen robbed of the Bopjf of the act. He said
lt iva* strange that all copi.'.- of railroad hills
mysteriously disappeared. The r**emhet**f liles
wer- tantpered with in their absence, ami it waa
also si fst-t thnt, although bnndreds of them w.*ro
printed for the use of tn- members, it was never
p, i?ii,i,* tn get ii single copy out oi the bilinara,
otl.-r members related similar experienc"*-*, but
tm action was taken.
