would lie in the opposition of Senators ofbOth polit-

friends of his in the Senate should feel con-

Many Republicans who would support the bill upon
its merits would oppose it at this time.

by few friends of the measure; and it was de-
termined to make another effort. Much surprise
and disappointment were expressed at the attitude
of Senator Jones, of Florida, as his vote conf

The ground of his opposition is understood TO be

Hill, of Colorado, would be led by his personal
interests to vote for the bill. While he is q pro-
nounced bi-metalist he does not consider the

would give, and had therefore proved himself to
have been summoned under false preteDces. Sena-

Reports from apiarians of various
parts Of the country appear TO be in
favor of wintering bees in cellars, in
stead Of tho old method Of leaving
them upon the stands where they are
hcpt during the Summer. The bees,
when protected from severe cold, eat
lees and come out much stronger in
the Spring. But il is quite important
that the cellar in which the bees arc
stored should be perfectly dry and well
ventilated, for unless these conditions
