markably short space Of time got we'll
into the volumlnous report. After ten
minutes, Senator Hepburn, who is one
of those threatening To vote against
. the bill. remarked that he thought the
clerk had omitted the maximum and
minimum provision. Senator Clark

said that he had heard nothing abcut
the cotton schedule. Hepburn said
with some show of temper that it was
not for the clerk TO say what part o.
the bill should be read and what
should be omitted. "Thc Senate will
