ciary committee of the house held an
important meeting yesterday Col.
Oates of Alabama from the sub-com-
mittee presented a favorable report
on the Torrey bankruptcy bill, and
next Thursday was set for considera-

This is the same bill which passed the
senate during the last congress, but
was defeated in the house, owing to
the determined fiibustering of Mr..
Kilgore. The only objection known
to exist in the committee is to the in
voluntary clause forcing men into
involuntary bankruptcy. This clause,
it is understood, will be modified so
as to make it applicable only where
