from the Madsonan that the Senate rat
fled the following Conventions;
The Postal Convention, concluded at
Booota, ON 9th March, 1914, between the
United States and the Republic oI New
Grenada.
The Convention concluded at Berlin,

A bill for abolshing imprisonment for

balance Of two millions in advance to-

In the House OF Representatives, much
confusion prevailed, and loss of time was
the consequence.
The rowdy manner in which the ad-
gournment has taken place gives rise to
the general belief that many important
ahings have been neglected, which will
create a necessity for an extra session;
but the fourishing state Of the Govern
ment finances will probably have the el-
feet of neutralIzlng these inconven en-.
