The report of the special committee
of the United States Senate, appointed to in
vcstigate the cause of the omission of the Hot.
SPRINGS section from the enrolled Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill Of last session, says
that Ill the evidence goes to show that the
omission was clerical error, made by over
worked and exhausted members and clerks of
the House Comm ttee, while enrolling the
bills in sections as they severaly came from
the Conference Committee during the last

come into their possession from the time it
left the House Committee until it was placed
before the President for his signature.
