While the bill still exists in the box of the ways and means committee, it.is so mangled and mu- tilated by amgndments that its au- thors would hardly recognize the measure. While a desperate effort will doubtless be made to save the bill, itis hardly possible for it to be done at the evening session. BILLS PASSED.
