p, M. the senate voted TO take up the tax
reduction bill, but Mr.. Morrill,, in charge of
the measure, yielded the floor for action on
the bill to prevent pleuro-pneumonia in
cattle. This bill was finally postponed

committee on appropriations, reported the
Anderson adjournment resolution with the
amendment providing for final adjourn
