$140 000 to 1U0,000) for a public build¬

A meeting of the senate committee on
agriculture was culled for Tuesday, to
consider the Conger compound lard bill,
and leport it us a substitute for the Pad
dock pure food bill, which bus a place
on the caucus calendar of business in the
senate. The absence of democratic mem¬
bers of the committee who were opposed
and to taking any action upon the lard bill,
of Mr. McMillan, who is in Michi¬
gan, made a quorum impossible. This
means that the bill is killed so far as this
session is concerned, and it will
thrown over until next season, when in
the rush of business, many believe it can
be killed entirely.
