Hartford, May 18.—’%119 legislative session of 11915 was adjourned sine die this afterngon in the manner pre- ! geribed by the constitution. The sen- ate and house of representatives had a joint session in the shamber of the house and received Governor Marcus | #H. Holcomb( who spoke briefly in a { congratulatory vein, laying emphasis upon the fact that this session ends three weeks before the comstitutional lmitation, that it was the shortest session in recent years and that its accomplishments were . attained through constant anq nard work. High Sheriff Edward Dewey made the proclamation and . Secretary of State'Charles D. Burnes, declared the Junuary session at an end without day with the drop of the speaker’s gavel. ‘This is the shortest sesslon since the biennial sittings began although that of 1887 adjourned ‘finally on May 19, Goverhor Holcomb up to the present time has' signed 261 public acts, and 208 special acts, submitted one mes- sage and one vetp, but this does not represent the sum total of legislation, as a considerable number of bills have not yet- reached the execuulve after engrossment. It is not beNeved there will ‘be any “pocket” vetoes, as was the casé two yéars ago, when Govern- or Baldwin failed to sign = number of measures which reached him af- ter' the session adjourntd. The pres- ent generaly assembly makes the tnique record for itself of having dis- posed of every measure placed be- fore it. Two years ago about 300 bills were left over and found lodge- ment in the office of mecfetary of state. None of these resurrected this session. Record in Recent Years. .The record, of legislation in recent, years is as follows; Public Special Acts: Acts 211 452 282 500 268 514 261 495 299 544 1918 241 437 1915 (incomplete) 261 308 Governor Holcomb’s Add.res.

Olmstead. An interesting incident was the visit of United States Senator George P. McLean tbh the house where he was introduced@ and spoke briefly. After- wards a recess was taken to glve members an opportunity to shake the senator's hand. Upon being intro- duced Senator McLean said in part: “Thig may not be a surprise to you, but it is a surprise to me. I have no speech to make and will not try to ‘'make one.,. This is the first oppor- tunity I have had to look upon a gen- eral assembly since one sent to me ‘Washington four years ago. I could not resist the temptation to drop in before it was too late. I had no idea that the courtesies of the chamber would be extended to me or that you would expect me to say something. You may expect me to say something nice, but I am not given to flattery. 1 have learned to suspect the tongue of flattery. In my opinion you have done many things wisely and well, but being human, you have .done some things not wisely and left some things undone, You have my sympathy, We have many ready to give .good and wise advice, but the difficulty is in distinguishing good from bad wisdom and the market value of the whole product remains about the same. I repeat that you have done your best. You can't agree with everybody, for the very best of us disagree with each other. if your consciences are troubling you. I don’t say they do. I have had ex- periences in your life. I was first sent here in 1883, That was a long time ago. That was a greater event in my career than my election to the senate. Then everything was before me; now most of it is behind me; then I knew it all; now I know that I do not know it all.’ Then I found it -difficult to agree with myself, You may feel that you have been criticised unjustly. The criticism of honest men doesn’t hurt. It is my experience, and it will be yours, that men who disagree with you will be ‘patient and forgive if they are satisflied that you acted on your honest convictions. Congratulates hMem. “I congratulate you that your labors I have a feeling of sympathy | are at an end. You have been brief, which is one thing greatly to your credit. Brevity is not only the soul of wit but'the soul of wise legislation. “I can express a deep sense of gratitude to the people of Connecti« cut for what they have done for me. On the whole our fellow-citizens are good fellows. They are patient and kind. If you have used them well they will- use you well, and they will send you here next time, whether you want to come or not. Trying Times in History. “These are trying times in the history of the world; strange times; times rione of us ever expected would come and we wonder, most of us, whether, after all, there is a chance for the peace-maker to come into his inheritance. I am sure that the people of this great country prefer Justice to injustice, and we have the opportunity that never come to any other people in history. .My beliel is that we will not lose that oppor- tunity, We must remember to take advantage of that opportunity. We must keep cool. Men who keep cool, count. Men who have kept cool have preserved all that we have had through the ages. The great apostle said that when He was weak then was He strong. If is my belief, prayer and | hope, that the people of this. country can be generous in victory and in a victory which will bring peace and good will. “I congratulate you on your rela- tions with the executive and congratu- late the executive on his relations with you. He has been the best one since 1901 (laughter.) He vetoed only one bill. I vetoed none. There are ways | better than the veto power and that is to give the people what they want, and they can find out what the peo- ple want by frequent consultations with the leaders.” ‘When the senate opened its session the chaplain led in prayer and re-~ cited the Lord’s Prayer. Senator Is- bell moved reconsideration of the so-called .*“Jitney” bill, and, it was re- considered, amended in minor parti- culars, and adopted and sent to the house. Hyde Explains Bill, The bill was explained by Mr, Hyde, as soon as it reached the house. Mr, Peasley of Cheshire, attacked it, say-~ ipg that the bill simply changed thk assault on the ‘jitneys’” from the gen- eral assembly to the town authorities. Mr. Peasley favored no action, saying “there may be no jitneys .in two years.” He moved indefinite post- ponement. - Mr. Stoddard of Wood- bridge was against taking action, while Mr. Isbell of Ansonia and Mr. Dillon of Huntington spoke in behalf of the bill. Mr. Martih of Orange regretted that the bill had not come from the committee but had -originated with the Connecticut and other trolley com- panies. Mr, Back moved the previous question and the motion to indefinitely postponewas éarried-109-to~93, and | the bill was rejected in nonconcur- renge. /The house adopted its ' debenture Bill paying the balance of members salaries and .voted $50 to Bugene ,who served seven weeks as a member while the regular- 1y elected member was ill Both branches adopted bills concerping a division' of costs of maintenance and construction of bridges on trunk line highways and-the amended bill lay~ ing a state tax. McLean Addresses. Senate. During the senate session United Senator McLean was invited to speak _which he did, in a similar vein to his address in the house. He was thanked by Lieutenant Governor Wil- son. Senator Bree: offered a resolution to recall Senator Purcell’s resolution of confidence in the president, saying that he had found that the resolution had been sent to the secretary’s office instead of to the committee on fed- eral relations, which yesterday, - he did not know. Senator Isbell said the resolution should have been in the hands of the house chairman of the committee and the recall resolution was unnecessary. He suggested a recess. Senator Bree sald the reesolu- tion was not in possession of the house chairman, and he felt that there might have been an ulterior motive for it. Senator Isbell said he.would investigate but if the the democrats thought it expedient to force a de- bate, he was ready. Senator Purcell regretted the attitude of Senator Is- bell, and suggested that Senator Bree be sent to find the resolution. Senator .Comley said he had not seen the reso- lution and a recess was taken. House Enjoys Merriment. o Meantime the house having no bus- iness to do installed Mr. Mexcur of Brookfield in the chair, and gave it- self over to merriment. Gifts to. Members. Various gifts the significance of which was recognized by the house, were made to members who had been active during debates and as chair- men of committees, and as responsey were made the ‘“holy row” of law- yers, with Colonel Eaton as the lead- er sang impromptu verses to familiar airs. Mr. McDonald of Putnam re- ceived an automobile; Mr. Martin of Orange, a bottle of liquor; Mr. Peas- ley of Cheshire, a velvet hammer; Mr. Isbell of Ansonia a suitably in- scribed medal; Mr. Stoddard of Woai- bridge, a red wig and an engrossed eopy of a resolution prohibiting him from making further amendments this season; Mr. Taylor. of Danbury a beriboned hatchet; Mr. Osborn of Branford a megaphone with a minia. ture bull attached; Mr. Brown of Milford a nursing bottle emblematic of his being the “baby’ of the house; Assistant - Clerk Kenealy, an alarm clock, and Colonel Eaton of Nortk Haven, a stove lid, typical of his ef- forts all the session to keep the hd on the appropriations.

RUSSIANS SWEEP THROUGH BUKOWINA ROUTING AUSTRIANS (Continued from First Page.) particulars represent that the cntire region between the Dniester and the Pruth. is in Russian hands as the re- sult of the brilliant victory while the Austrians, utterly defeated, are in disorderly flight. They have aban- doned 20,000 prisoners and import- ant, powerfully organized positions on a front of 140 versts for the de- fence of which they made, ' tremen- dous sacrifices in money and lives. “Bverything tends to prove that as | a consequence of this victory Czerno- witz already is in the possession of the Russians while the remnants of | the Austrian army, flying in the di- rection of the Pruth are in danger ot disaster which seems inevitable - be- cause of the flerce action of our cav- alry which fell upon the retreating enemy in full divisions, destroying him and incessantly augmenting the number of our trophies. This furious pursuit, so udvanlageous for us, con- tinues. . Austrians at Kolomea. “At the present moment the clus- ter of roads in ' Bukowina occupies our attention, especially in the region of Kolomea. Here the enemy has been reinforced and has assembled every resource he possesses for de- fence, Kolomea being the only rail- way center connecting Bukowina with Transylvania ‘and other Austro-Hun- garian regions. The enemy’'s failure in this district, which is imminent, will cut short immediately his' fur- ther resistance in Bukowina.” g German Attacks Fruitless.

It is contended, however, that attacks against the recently occupied front in :he“r:lre-"tmn of Stry and Dolina were ruitless, as were assaul Fartn ts along the The communication follows: “Since the morning of the 16th in the Shavli region the battles have continued to develop favorably for us. Our troops crossed the Dubissa and attacked the Germans, galning possession of their trenches and cap- turing several hundred prisoners, “Between the Pilica and upper Vis- tula enemy columns pursued our troops which mgved to a new point. “Near Ghilneff and Rusozkibrod our sudden counter attacks inflicted se- vere losses on the enemy’s advance guard, .Drive Germans Back. “In the district between Wierzbnik and Opatow, as well as south of the latter, impetuous attacks by us on the 16th drove back the enemy’s leading columns more than ten versts (six miles.) “On the San there has been violent artillery fire from south of Wlslok to Przemysl. “In the' direction of the Stry and Dolina the enemy delivered fruitless attacks against the front which we re- cently occupied, losing several hun- dred prisoners. “On the Pruth on the 15th the enemy delivered repeated attacks in close formation starting from Delatyn and Kolomea. - We repelled him suc- cessfully, capturing four more heavy guns and throwing our advance guards beyond' the river,” French Official Report.

They were repulsed. “In the region to the north of Notre Dame De Lorrette, on the road from Aix-Noulette, to Souchez, we repulsed completely by our fire two other Ger- man counter attacks.

B Lyon Cempaiy. Syracuse, N. Y., May 18.—William Barnes testified under cross examin- { ation in the supreme court here today }hl the trial of his $50,000 libel suit | against Theodore Roosevelt, testified that in 1901 he was given 750 shares of stock in the J. B. Lyon Company, of Albany, after he had expressed a desire to become a partner of the founder of the printing concern so that he might properly be associated with public printing. Mr. Barnes said he pald nothing for the stock. Mr. Barnes endeavored to make it plain that he only intended to re- main associated with the Lyon com- pany’ until such a time as the Albany Journal company would be in a posi- tion to handle public printing on 'its ow account, as he said, “It had a per- fect right to do.” Not to Sell Stock, Of afi ““agreement” mentioned on the face of a s ificate. issued to him, Mr. Barnes said_tljat referred to an understanding h¢ had with J. B. Lyon not to sell the stock to any third party. He readily admitted that he had written a letter to the Mutual Life In- surance company regarding a yearly “honorarium” which was to be paid his father. This letter first came to light during the insurance investiga- tion of 1905. The = cross examination of Mr. Barnes conducted by John M.
