The order as amended was given passage.

Inc order as amenued was given passage.
An act in relation to the sale of milk came
| from the House passed to be enacted.
Mr.. DUNNING move to indefinitely postpone
the bill.
Mr.. FOSTER said that at the request of certain
persons, he introduced an order at the COM
rnencement of the session which was referred
to the Committee on Agriculture, requesting
them to inquire into the expediency of amend
ing the law regulating the measure of milk.
The committee did not report. My attention
was again called to the matter. then laid
upon the table the act now before us. Since
the introduction of this bill find there is
great opposition to it.
The bill is intended to make plain what il
now obscure, and not to change the measure
of milk. 1t is not so understood, but is looked
upon as change from wine to ale and beer
measure. l had no selfish motive in the in
PRODUCTION of this bill. 1t seems, however,
there is oppoiition to it. hope it will be
postponed.
The opposition to it came from the farmers
and milkmen, men who depend upon the prod
uce of their farms for support. While do not
regard the bill one which will work to their dis
advantage, yet if they regard it so should be
sorry to have it become a law. 1t can do no
harm to leave the bill as it is another year.
l hope the Senators will consent to do so.
The Senate refused to indefinitely post
pone the bill, and passed it to be enacted.
Adjourned to Z o'clock.
