afternoon, and gave notice that at the end of six
hours more of general debate he would move the
previous question, and he insisted that much
more time should be allowed for general debate in
justice to the members of the Census Comm tee.
The fate of the bill and of the method is sealed
but still the post-mortem discussion goes on, aud il
