no pronounced opposition. 1t may
that an effort will be made to pass the t
shipping bills sent over by the senate, /
, this will be strongly resisted by the den
Gratis, and unless special provision is ms
for their consideration the effort will

of the maintenance of quorum, nothi
can be done without unanimous consent
