it is believed, if necessary, he Will
detach men from the louisiana and
the gunhoat Wheeling, also at lux

three bills recently passed by the

that have been received from ov-

no change made in the mechan-

prospects are that a new law will
jbe framed this session.
A bill recently passed the house
and there are now before the sem
ate committee on judiciary three
J bills. all of which are being con-
! sidered by a subcommittee and
it is likely that measure will fin
