THE report of the special committee
OF the United States Senate, appointed to in
vestigate the cause of the omission of the Hot
Springs section from the enrolled Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill of last session, says
that all the evidence goes to show that the
omission was a clerical error, made by over
worked and exhausted members and clerks of
the House Committee, while enrolling the
bills in sections as they severally came from
the Conference Committee during the last
of the session. The report says that it is
clearly proven that neither Senator Conover
nor any member or officer of the Senate is in
any way responsible for the loss or omission
Of the section from the bill, as the bill did not
come into their possession from the time 1t
left the House Committee until it was placed
before the Presidentfor his signature.
