The Senate devoted the entire day
to consideration of unobjected bills on

were Of purely private nature. The
most important bill passed was one re-
quiring the registration with coIler-
tors of internal revenue. of all per-
sons who produce or deal in opium or
cocoa leaves or any preparation
thereof
The bill is aimed at the dealers in
opiate drugs supposed to be harmful
to the public health. The measure has
passed the House. The Senate made
several amendments, among others
that the President is authorized 10
make regulations for controlling the
trade in such drugs in the Canal Zone
and another that the act shall not ap-
ply to officers of the government who
may be purchasing medical supplies
for the army.

made a vigorous protest against the eX-
