clouds covered all. Five minutes Of
suspense passed, and then a shot. and

breathlessly, and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the

of the railroad program would be
pressed at the new session. His state
ment was as follows:
"a very remarkable session of con.
gress has just closed, full, as all re-
cent sessions of the congress have
been of helpful and humane legisla-
ton, which constitutes contributions
Of capital Importance to the defense,
the economic progress and the whole
some life of the country.

sion could not have continued long
enough to complete the program re,

accommodation of labor disputes be-
tween the railways and the employees,
but 1t was not feasible in the circum-
stances to continue the session any
longer, and therefore only the most
Immediately pressing parts Of the pro-
gram could be completed.
1.-THE rest, it is agreed, has merely
been postponed until it can be more
maturely deliberated and perfected

1t is the purpose of the leaders of the
two houses Immediately upon the re-
assembling Of congress, to undertake
this additional legislation. 1t is evil

been created by recent events with re
