Two very important bills re-
ceived action to-day, which insures
their becoming laws as soon as they
can be enrolled and sent to the
President to be signed, one being
the House bill for the repeal of the

concurrence of the House in the
Senate amendment fixing Septem-
Der first as the day when the repeal
is to take effect, and the other be-
ing the House bill prohibiting any
further retrenchment Of greenbacks
which was passed by the Senate
without amendment, The large

the Senate was due, in the consid-

tural outlook is decidedly more
favorable than it was three weeks
ago. Unless dry, forcing weather
comes quickly the hope for an
abundant cereal harvest must be
abandoned. Grass is everywhere
