cities and towns of their respective states.

complained of would be remedted IN con-
ference. The agricultural appropriation bill
made its appearance in a partial conference
report. With reference to the meat inspec-
ton provision another conference was or
dered. The conference report on the Lake

accepted Senator Tillman made his long
deferred speech on the election OF Mrs

The Senate devoted most of the day on
the 10Th TO consideration of conference re-
ports, including those on the rate and pure
food bills, and the meat inspection pro-
vision of the agricultural measure, all OF
which were adopted. The principal contro-

House provision only because it was at

journment was taken until the next day.

was passed. Owing TO an error in engross-
ing the sundry civil BILL discovered after
the President had signed the measure,
resolution was adopted TO straighten out the
tangle. There were many recesses, owing
to delay in engrossing bills, and Senator
Hale offered resolutions directing the com
mittee on rules to investigate the enrolling
force of the Senate and the committee on
printing TO make inquiry as to the cause
of delay at the government printing office.
