in rotary motion, and bounded along close to the
earth like rubber ball. When the funnel reached |
the southwestern limits OF the town II seemed to |
roll along within few feet Of the surface and the
houses were raised clear off their foundations |

to be printed aud placed on the calendar. Senator
Miller, in reporting gave notice, very significantly,
that the amendments were not unanimous, but that |
on the contrary each member of the committee re-
served the right either to oppose support any of
the reported amendments. This remark was in.
tended to foreshadow the intention of Miller and all
the Democratic members of the committee to
resist the adoption of the amendments which pro-
tt1a for ctr rrNfr ont
tons, known as the Farley and Grover provisions

yesterday there is no doubt but both sections W Il
finally be retained in the bill. Miller also gave

for action at o'clock tomorrow afternoon. 1t is
not considered probable that the Senate will consent
to Law aside the unfinished business namely the
Mississippi river bill, in order to take up the

while serves sort Of pre- emption claim upon
the time and attention of the Senate to Re enforced
