The amendment in the legislative bill

measure. The amendment was unpopular
and its defeat was acclaimed. From time
out OF mind the House has supplied its
membership with facilities to bathe when
so disposed
In fact, the House bathroom furnished

manly rubber in attendance, is patronized
by Senators as well as Representatives,

was first put forward. When the amend
ment was called up yesterday members
moved forward in their seats. A chorus
of Noes that could be heard a block
away resounded in the House when Uncle
Joe Cannon put the question. Shall the
amendment be agreed to?''

Senator Bailey made the statement yes
terday that, Notwithstanding the senti-
ment for the creation of a permanent
tariff commission, the bill providing for
one would not pass this session of Con-
gress. There are many features in such
a measure to be considered, and conSid-
cred carefully. The session Is too short
to go into the matter in full. and it will
of necessity have to go over.

this joint statement was given out:
THE award in the fisheries arbitration
directed that certain proceedings be
taken by means Of special commission

as to the application of the award to
