The Lower Hou>e Declved for ^ ♦ Rocker Bill, but it Got Killed la the Senate, and So the Session Has Ended Witbont Dis- v - genairy Legislation. the The Senile and II it aeoma could not agree on any dlspenaary leg islation, and so the session baa endid with the dispensary right where it was when the Leglaiature first met lo January. The Senate. Wedneedt# morning read, tor the second time, the Raysot-Manning bill, and on Thursday passed It and sent it to the Hpodh for concurrence, which the House refuted. The bill was sent to the House not to be voted on, but as Hated above for consurrende, as the hill was rearlly a house m»a*u'e.‘Thli status was obtained by affiilng to the title of the.
