WASHINGTON, Aug. Is,
Dir. Campbell, from the Committee or
Conference on ths disagreeing amendment
to the Army bill, said they had met, and of
Ter free conference had come to 40 con

grew out of the condition Of things with ref

The House adhered to its own amend
ments, proposing TO restrict the operations
of the army, and providing that no portion
Of the money to be expended in Kansas
shall be used to enforce the laws Of the BIO.

The Senate thus far has declined yielding
anything on that point connected with the
Army bill.
Mr.. Campbell was satisfied that the two

The conference failed because the Senate's
Committee declined 10 yield the simple pro.

difficulty presented by the Senate was, that
