take definite shape, considerable progress
having been made by the house committee in
its preparation The consideration of the
bill has gone far enough to show that the to

in accord with the general policy of the house,
of keeping down expenditures, the southern
members do not believe the river and harbOr
bill should be cut to very much greater ex-
tent than other bills.

the bureau of animal industry in the depart
ment of agriculture, urged upon the com
mittee agriculture the necessity of the i'm
mediate appropriation of $50, 900 to execute
the meat inspection law during the remainder
of the fiscal year. The money available for
this purpose, they said, is about exhausted,
and the work of inspection under the law
would have to be discontinued if more money
was mo- appropriated.
The house committee on the election of
president and vice president, authorized Rep
resentative Strain to prepare for submission
to the house a Joint resolution, proposing
amendments TO the constitution, substituting
the 3lst day of December for the 4th day of
March, as the commencement and terminal
of the official term of the house of repre-
sentatives and United States senators; and
providing that congress holds its annual
meeting on the second Monday in January
and substituting the Both of April for the Attn
