AFTER adjournment for the day that
the prospects of setting these big

For a time yesterday 1T appeared
that these co-called national issues"

was taken at p. M, until this morn

under discussion were still at is

Should the conference complete its
work today it would be impossible
to report it before Tuesday. as the

under the rules, must receive it be-
fore the senate adjourned yesterday
