fifty-nins pages. but the Senate took

of February. The bill had to 80 to the
committee of the Whole. where amend
ments We're interminable. AS mucn
progress AS possible had been made, but
now it vas clearthat concessions would
have to be made on all sides If the bill
was to be brought to final vote. He
would. therefore, make n motion which
would rsalfire two-thirds vote, to dis
charge the committee of the Whole from
further consideration ofthe bili.'S.
After debate the House refused to
discharge the committed from further
consideration of the bill, and that is the
end of il this session. 'ts,t'-
