Proceedings of To-Day.

I In the Senate, to-day, reports were made
from the Committees of Conference on the
Bounty Land and Deficiency bills from the
first, Of an agreement and from the second
that they could not agree; and another COM
mittee of conference was ordered to be APP
pointed. 49,.
After the transaction of some other bust
ness, Mr.. Brown introduced q resolution di.
recting the Public Lands Committee to in
quire into and report what legislation is ne
cessary against fraud in entering lands under
the registration act which was debated by
Mr.. Stuart against it, and Mr.. B. for it, ere it
was adopted.
Mr. Bayard then addressed the Senate on
the Naval Reform Board question.
In the House, Mr.. Pringle reported from
the Committee of Conference on the disagree
ing votes of the two houses on the Deficiency
bill, announcing their inability to agree with
the Senate's branch Of the same committee.
and recommending that the House adhere to
their branch Of the committee from further
service thereon. ."-.-.r ......
Their report and the recommendation it
embraced was debated by Mr.. II Marshall
of KY, against it, and Mr. Stanton for it.
Mr., Cobb, of Ga urged that it was not
proper to sacrifice the bill without knowing
what amendments presented the insupera-
BILE objections to the enactment of the bill.
He desired to have tho question Of adheripg
to them put to the House, so that each MEM
Der might have an opportunity to place him
self upon the record upon them.
The subject was further debated by Messrs
Stanton for the report and II. Marshall Of
Ky, against it ere the Star went to press.
