dav found its way back to the house,
exactly three months to a day from the
time it was put through by thai body,
It's reception was hailed with mingled
feelings Of joy and disappointment by
the members on both sides, who in re-

o'clock in order to permit the COM
mittee on rules to meet with a view
TO deciding upon a course of procedure
in reference to the tariff bill, to be rec
commended TO the house.
