an injunction to prevent Ed

Ing CANE to the conclusion that there
would be no chance Of disposing of the
subject to-day.
There are about twenty-five amend

that all these and even more may be
offered as the day progresses. II this Ii
done there will be a succession of roll

possible and get as many of the amend

can.
Senator Stewart made the prediction
in the course Of his remarks, while the
voting was in progress, thai the Presi-
dent would never sign the Voorhees, bill
II 1t should be passed by both Houses OF
Congress.
Asked afterwards upon what ground
he based the belief, he said IL was be-

He thinks the President will let the
