Nothing Distinctive of Original Bill Remains. Practically nothing distinctive of the original bill will remain, save the sections providing for the creation of a court of commerce.

Even that has had a perilous time in the house and. nobody tonight is prepared to guarantee that it will be enacted. In fact, the differences between the senate and house aro so great that, in view of the radical action conducted by senate leaders tonight, it would surprise nobody if the entire bill failed in conference. President Taft Advised by Long-Distance 'Phone. So serious did the status of tit- bill become late tonight that President Taft himself, at Pittsburg, was advised of the situation over the long distance telephone by Senator AldrUii.
