The bill Will probably be in shape to

will be presented on Saturday.
AS it passes the senate the bill con-
tains almost 400 paragraphs. The
senate made $40 amendments to the
house provisions, many of which were
added Thursday. Consequently the
enrolling clerks are finding the prepa-
ration of the bill for the house an ar
duous task. They hav" been following
as closely upon the heels of the senate
as was possible, and have the work
well in hand.
The senate sat continuously Thurs
day from 10 o'clock in the morning

the many speeches during the day
and evening were brief, and in the
main the day was devoted to actor
