him to purchase town lot in some small

reasons Tor opposing the direct tax bill.
Mr. Sherman said he desired not TO have
action delayed. 1t was an important bill,

would be equivalent o its defeat.

mad no d1latory purpose in making the mo

Mr.. Sherman made statement as to the
action taken by the conference committee,
and Mr.. Edmunds gave some OF the reasons
why he was opposed to the Beaufort amend
ment. Finally the matter went over, and
message was sent to the House requesting
the return of the bill
IT WILL BE VETOED.
The recall of the bill to the Senate will
delay it, but it will take the Presidents veto
to defeat it. This will probably be applied
very firmly when the bill reaches the white
house. Already tho Ohio men, who have
been more active 80 urgent than those
