able action can be secured at the spe-

the senate that within a very short time
II will be necessary to abandon the at
tempt to enact anything except the
necessary appropriation bills.

committee has announced shall be dis
posed of. IL is plain that none of these
measures can be passed with the pos
sible exception of the immigration bill,
and that. II is already predicted, will
be defeated by the president.
