Spectators at the Capitol.
The galleries at the Capitol are filed tonight
with spectators or the proceedings many anxiously
waiting for some turn In events to bring up meas
ures in which they interested, but the greater
portion are attracted by the curiosity which always
attaches to night session on the eve of the final
adjournment
The Senate's Deliberations on the
Amendment to the Appropriations
Bill.
The labors Of the Senate since tho adjournment
of the Philadelphia Convention have assumed an
almost unequalled degree OF earnestness AS q
proof OF the determination of the majority to avoid
tho necessity for extra session the
Sundry Civil Appropriations act was taken up on
Friday, and, with the Enforcement bill amendment
discussed until nine O'Clock this morning. 1t was
again taken up and passed with the amend
ment after the expiration OF the morning
hour. 1t was then sent to the House
and q conference committee appointed to
port on Monday. Numerous other measures were
disposed of yesterday, and the general opinion
is that the long -mooted extra session will not DO
called. At ten p. NJ. tonight the Senate went into
executive session. but without transacting any
business of Importance adjourned until nine O'Clock
on Monday morning.
The Senate Endorsement BilI-The Action
Of the HOuse-An Arrangement 10 Refer
1t to n Conference Committee.
The Enforcement bill, which the Senate put as an
amendment on the Civil sundry Appropriations act
came to the House from the Senate at early hour
to-day, and the entire time has been spent In en-
deavoring to get the bill before the House for ac-
ton. The opposition has marshalled its forces In
old STYLE and presented solid front against the
passage OF the bill. Efforts were made on both
sides to effect compromise, the majority Offering
to nOn-cOncur In the Senate amendments and to
send the bill to committee OF conference.
The minority refused to accede to this, for
the reason that II it came back from
the committee of conference with these amend
ments agreed to majority could then pass the
bill conference report being one of the highest
privileges of the House, the minority offered to
cept the proposition OF the majority on condition
that any portions of the bill that should be po-
litically Objectionable should be considered COM
ing under the two-third rule. To this the repub
licans refused to accede. After spending the day
In dila ;ory motions, excepting the passage of
few bills, an arrangement was come to at quarter
to ten tonight by which the democrats agreed to
accept the proposition OF -ooncurring in
the Senate amendments and the reference
to a conference committee, on condition that the
Monday morning, when the conference committee
will be ready to report, and then, in the Objec-
tionable Senate amendments should still be in the
BILL the democrats intend to nlibuster the remain
ing four hours OF the session. to defeat the bill.
But there is now every reason to believe that the
Senate will recede from their amendments, which
are considered unprecedented In the history OF
legislation. The conference committee on the part
Of the Senate are Senators Edmunds, Cole and
Stevenson, and on the part OF the House, Messrs.
Garfield, Palmer and Niblack.
There are various opinions to an extra session
being called, but the prevailing opinion tonight is
that it will be unnecessary. II is understood that
the President does not consider himself justified in
calling an extra session, as 1t is the duty OF Con
gress TO perfect necessary legislation III its own
time.
New York Republican Association.
The New York Republican Association. at a meet
ing tonight called to ratily the Philadelphia nom
nations, unanimously passed resolution Of sym
patty with the workingmcn on strike for eight
hours In the State, and protested in advance
against any tamperng with the eght-hour laws OF
Congress and the State Legislature.

from Brandt 4 Co. by the former owner OF the
Hornet pledge having been given that the Hornet
should never be permitted to violate our neutrality
laws again. Her owner made haste TO get her OF
his hands, and with the proceeds purchased the
Fannie and shipped the crew OF the Hornet, and
was all ready to leave port when the complaint
was made. She was thoroughly searched from
stem to stern by the customs revenue officers,
with the view OF discovering arms or munitions OF
war, or what facilities she might have
for taking them on board from another YES
sci. The examination was entirely satisfactory yet
1t was claimed that there was reasonable sus-
picion for OBTAINING her. The Treasury officials
stretched the law to the utmost TO please the
Spanish Minister but Ii was not broad enough TO
detain the Fannie under the circumstances There
was nothing irregular in her papers or ownership.
Finally on Thursday IL was decided to allow her TO
clear for Turks Island. For lear, however, that she
might take on board contraband Of war. in the
