Delayed by IL Typographical Error.

With all the delays and great difficulty ex =
perienced by Judge Kelley in securing the passage
by the House of the knit goods BILL through inad-
vertence simple typographical error was al
lowed to go uncorrected and was not discovered
until the bill reached the Senate. When Judge
Kelley obta ned recognition to move a suspension
of the rules to pass the BILL he sent to the Clerks
desk a slip taken from the Congressional Record
pYrportng to be a true copy of the bill. The b i'll
provides for the amendment of section 25O4 of the
Revised Statutes, but in the body of the bill 1t
appeared in the Record the characters 04 were left
out, making it appear that 1t was section 25 that
was intended to be amended. The bill as II
passed the House was accurately engro ssed and
sent to the Senate. The Finance Committee of the
Senate has notified the Clerk of the House Of the
error, and the passage Of resolution directing the
Clerk to correct 1t will be sufficient but this Of
course involves q delny Of several days.
