From the calendar were adopted these bills: Amending the charter of the mer- chants Trust company, Waterbury; incorporating the Hartford disabled veterans camp fund; amending the charters of the Fairmount assoclation, the Ridefield library association and several private concerns.

The British American agreement he said, wj of utmost importance—"a great substantial act.” “It is of value to both countries,” he said “and of value to the world. We start with the proposition, of course, that there will be no cancella- tion of the foreign debt, but the Unit- ed States has no desire to exact usur- fous interest or to make hard terms. We would not go to war with any country to collect the debts, but we are disposed to hold those debts and settle them on most reasomable and generous terms.” If there.is something secret about your business you had bLetter not use & Herald classified ad.
