amendments to the measure that pro-
badly would precipitate debate. He
strongly lntimated too, that if the war

necessary to provide so much as revenue
as the pending bill would raise. and he
indicated desire to await Developments

and scarcely cold enough to form ice in
a pail of water standing outdoors! For
the past two weeks the ladies OF the city
have been indulging their pastime rid
ing bicycles, as is their usual custom in
summer time, and people riding out for
pleasure without furs or overcoats.
