all Of the states of Illinois and Indiana.
Mr. Hopkins explained that the bill was
in the interest Of the smolters Of Auro-

ties OF Canadian ores at the port Of Chi
cago. At present, he said, Aurora was
not IL the district. The bill was passed

The Venezuelan question divided with
the committee appointments the inter

ated by the statement that Mr.. Living

should not be kept waiting until Presi-

Of the contents Of Lord Salisbury's re-

upon Secretary Olney for the correspond

AS this would be rather unusual
mode of procedure several influential
members, both Republican and Demo

such a resolution might be construed as
an act of discourtesy to the president.
If Mr.. Livingston finds this opinion to
be general he will abandon his inten-
