It has been presented periodically by Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, ever since the session began, and suspen- sion of the rules and 1mmediate ac- tion asked. Tt had always been re- fused heretofore. To-day, however, nobody spoke when he asked suspen- sion of the rules and the question was put and not half a dozen having heard it the bill was declared passed within one minute of its presentation by Mr. Burrows. is expected the senate will act on it soon.

The comptroller of the currency has granted permission to the First National bank of Lorane Ohio, to commence busiuess; capital, $50,000. Senator Harris’ resolution appoint- | ing Neil Brown to do the duties of the chief clerk of the senate, is more than likely t¢ be met by a resolution from prominent stalwarts insisting on complete re-organization of the sen- ate officers.
