 rarily hefore the senate early today, when it was voted to take up the con- ference report on the agricultural appropriations bill.
 Administration leaders said they anticipated no difficulty in placing the measure again before the senate when it was desired to do so.
 The house, at 12:52 a. m., recessed to 10 a. m. "H

 At midnight, when the debate had developed strong indicat tions that the bills opponents intend to prevent 2 vote before the session expires at noon tomorrow, the manifesto had been signed by more than a majority of the senate. and friends of the bill said that in the end it would bear the signatures of 90 per cent.
 It was the intention to hold back the document until it Lecame certain that no vote would be permitted. and then to read it into the senate record, with the names of those who stood behind the presidents program at- tached.
 The leaders had not entirely aban- doned hope of saving the measure and some of them thought the circulation of manifesto for signature had in- creased possibilities of passage. It was conceded however that possibil- ity still was remote one. Hitchcock Pleads for Vote. At midnight, Senator Hitchcock in charge of the bill, made another futile effort to obtain unanimous con- sent for limitation of debate and for time to vote. He proposed to begin final voting at a. m. "An overwhelming majority of the senate is ready for action now" he said. 'rhis bill passed the house by one of the most overwhelming ma jorities ever recorded there. I urge senators to give the senate an oppor- tunity to express its opinion" Senator Clapp said he did not be- lieve it possible to reach any unani- nous agreement, as he knew that sev- eral senators opposed to the bill de- sired to speak. He said he personal ly did not desire to delay a vote. Senator Works said that while q senate majority undoubtedly favors the bill, the majority of the American people oppose any step which may lead 10 war.

 "If it fails, it may be justly said, it was killed by it's friends" Senator Hitchcock then withdrew request, and debate was resumed. Text Of Manifesto. The text of the manifesto is as fol- lows:

When the game is well learned much
excitement is added by having two
cats and one mouse. This makes the
game more amusing, as the mouse, If
not very alert. will eludc one cat only
TO run into the arms of the other. The
two cats in this case should be slower
