involved in the present controversy could just as effectually be attained by sending in yesterday yesterdays a special message immediately med lately after the action of the hou houam be on OIL the vetoed bill and third beca because uste urte by withholding any call for another extra session the possibility would ha be averted of congress entering upon further agitation of financial questions
