made very valuable suggestions for
changes in the bills that the merchants

THE bills were left in Mr. Johnson's
care and will be amended by him and
presented to Congress at a very early

It's understood permission finally was

the guns mounted on the Verdi will not be
used to attack submarine while being
warned eliminates the most likely cause
of controversy.
Although granting permission for the
