WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-Letters received
here this morning from Robert Walker,
now in London, state that great revolu-
ton is going on in public opinion in Eng
land, i'm reference to the! financial strength
of the Government. he says also that a
heavy tide of emigration will,set into this
country in the Spring, and with Congress
sional legislation it may be swelIed to half
a million of persons year. He proposes
that Congress- shall enact that no emigrants
shall be liable to CONSUMPTION during the
war. This would disarm suspicion abroad
A considerable number of Congressmen
are sick. Notmauy of them seriously how
ever. nsa sItL -
The Senate did not adjourn last night,
because 1t is anxions to pass the amend
ment TO the enrolment act to-day.
The Horseiw ilIiundoubtedly make some
changes in the bill as il stands IN the

WAsaIaGTos, Jan. 1.-THE members of
beth the military committees of Congress
have received large numbers of letters, the
writers volunteering suggestions or advice
as to what should be the features of the
amendatory enrolment bill, evidently de-
siriug that it should be so framed as to
exempt themselves from the draft. The
hill before the Senate will probably pass
that body Tomorrow and be sent TO the
House for concurrence. 1t cosrects, some
of the faults in aud its object is TO render
more efficient the 'operatfonrof the present
law. The only persons specially exempted
from the draft are the Vice President of
the q. 81, the Judges OF us; eo9rts, the
heads Of the Executive Departments and
the Governors of the States, and, by im
plication such persons as are physically or
mentally unfit for service, according to the
prescribed army regulations. al
The two classes for enrolment are merged
in one, which is made" to include persons
between the ages of 20 and 40 years.
Credit is to be given TO citiesy towns and
wards, so as to equalize, as far as possible,
the draft throughout each district. y -
