s,,ea D;.patch to The N. T. Tribune ~
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Aug. %, 1000
Tho Conference Committee sat at Mr.. HnIer
residence last night until II o'clock. They sepsrate-
without agreement. On the part OF the House il
yas urged that the Senate should enact simple
proyiso, or al independent bill, cotemporaneOusly
with the passage of the Army appropriations,
declaring the President should not employ the
military power to enforce the Kansas laws until
Congress passed upon their validity Other quail
6cstious Objectionable to the Senate were omitted.
This Oyertare was refused by the Senate Com
mittee, and they would make no further concession
tAan the passage of Weller's proposition indepen-
de1tly, il clean Army bill WAS granted by the
House.
The main facts were reported TO the House this
morning by Mr. Campbell, who commented upon
the course pursued by the Senate on all ApRo-
priations this Session showing that they had fire.
4uehly attacked Independent legislation, and
therefore had no right to set up objection on this
score For ole, he would never recognize the
validity OF the Kansas laws, at any cost. He init
mated a hope that the Committee, with larger
discretion, might reconcile differences between the
Two Houses. He then moved to adhere which
Mr.. Stephens amended by moving to recede.
On receding, the House stood Yeas 81, Nays 100.
Compared with the last vote Of Saturday, the
Republicans gained, to-day BrentOn, Robbins,
Sabin, then absentees; Dunn, the1 with the oppo-
sition. and Robson, temporarily out by pairing
with Clark of New York. Nichols and Purvance
were lost in the aggregate to-day, and Barclay was
temporarily absent
Appropriation gained Greenwood, Harrison and
Wells. By pairing, lost Brooks Hidwell and Walk
who vot<d Saturday, and Winter Davistemporarily
absent.
On a6hering, the vote was l0l Yeas, against 81
Nays Barclay having come in. These results tally
precisely with my previous figuring and specula-
tiOns
After these votes, the House too recess till q
o'clock, except the Senate would act upon the
Sine Die Adjournment. But after reassembling
and finding no action had been taken by the Senate,
and making Intellectual attempt to adjourn until
Monday, they went over until tomorrow.
MIR. Crittenden presented his Compromise in the
Senate, embracing various provisss, supersedng
offensive LAVE, comforting legislative power on the
Government and Judges as in the case of Lou
i.ians; giving revisionsry authority to Congress-
enlareing Executive authority and providing mill
tary protection. His comments were designed to
eliminate tho Republicans for the present crisis,
charging that they did not desire pscifcation aud
eIcOur -ged strl 'es.
sharp Interpolation occurred with Mr.. Wilson,
who repelled these accusations and others person
ally reflective.
Mr. Hunter then offered report from the Con.
ference Committee ard labored to show that il the
House was full no difficulty would occur in pass
ing a clean bill. He did not explain why political
friends snd allies were absent at this crisis.
Mr.. Seward jus ;ified the course of the House in
an impromptu speech of exceeding point and merit,
reviewing all the arguments on the other side, and
exposing their sophistry and weakness. He told
Mr.. Crittenden that il he expected to propitiate
the North to any compromise his charge of
fsnnticsm were not likely to recommend his
project; that the North would ss true to itself
as the North Star is to the mariner; and that its
seatimens va. nOY to be despised nor intim-
dated
Mr.. Cas- followed in the wake of his leaders,
depIecating the spirit of Mr.. Stewards speech aud
reusDg himself to offensive criticism, which excited
smiles on his own side.
Mr.. Pugh concluded in the rehearsal of former
arguments and illustrations, much to the fatigue OF
the Senate, and Mr. Bell got the floor.
To the Associated Press:
Messrs. Clalk of New York, Nichols and Purviance,
who voted for adhering to the House amendment TO
the Army bill on Saturday did not vote to-day on the
ejmar question, but Mesrs Brenton, Buffnton, Rob

gether with MIR Dunn, who on Saturday voted 10 the
negative Messrs Brooks, Davis OF Maryland, ki1
well and slk who voted in the negative on Saturday
were absent to day, but that side was REINFORCED by
Meess. Garlic, Greenwood, Harrison, Rust and Wells

The Presto ent has signed the bill for the purchase OF
the chip Resolute to be presented to the British Gov

Alfo, the bill to supply omissions with civil bill OF
last Session.
Ii il said the Senate Committee Of Conference on
the Army bill wss willing that Mr.. Weller's bill should
be passed into law as a compromise to reconcile the
enlargement, but the House Committee gave no ca
coursgement to the suggestion.

position.
