Senators approving the special intent Of the

There IS no doubt of combined action. but
the passage Of resolution BY the House az
liking the conditions to a membership in

persons in both branches Of the National
Legislature, that similar, though separate
committees may be raised In lieu Of the Joint
committee.
The House will meet at the usual hour
and go through with the form Of organiza-
ton without delay. The several caucus

Of bounty maturing while in such service,
cannot be made as extra pay.

claims as pertain 10 the balance OF the
members OF the same regiment.
