do not make up their minds to change the now set

last week. after the Joint Committees Cities had
got through with their so-called consideration OF
the bill and had formally voted on the amendments
proposed some ten days ago, that subcommittee
consisting Of two republcans--Opdyke and Patter-i

to the last section consistent with the amend.
ments engrafted into 1t by the two committees.
THIS SUBCOMMITTEE
was not empowered to make any other than verbal
changes In the act, which fact may look surprising
to some people who were foolish enough to bolt
the statement made the other day by one OF tho
metropolitan journals that they were authorized
to draw up a new charter. The trio did not
hold meeting on Saturday, the home enoyments
OF the recess having of course prevented them
rom dong that very thing which they were ex<
pected to do during the recess. They have
got together this evening however, and, II
they can stand the PRESSURE will stay up
all tonight and work all day tomorrow,
until they make the thing read well.
