LOOKING INTo DEATHS EYEs.-Thc
power otthc eye is most strikingly illus
trated by the fact that when two bodies
of infantry meet in charge of bayonets,
the front rank, on one side or the other,
almost invariably gives way directly the
bayonots are crossed; that is, before the
cold steel enters the body of either party.
The front ranks give way, the rear ranks
are generally broken, and a rout ensues.
The dreadful passion and fixed resolve
in the. eyes Of the front rank on one side
ovc,powers that of their antagonist,
whose hearts fail before them. Calcula-
tons have been made to snperscde this,
by The order that each soldiers bayonet
shall not take the man directly in front
of him in the enemy ranks, but the next

tare of to-days House proceedings the report of

Dawes who, as Chairman of the Committee pre-
sented the report explained and advocated it in a
half hours speech in which he expressed his regret
that the bill now reported did not contain. as the
first Conference bill had contained any provision
fixing a time for the resumption of specie payments
Still there other features in the bill which
commended themselves to his approval aud induced
him TO urge the House to sustain the report. One
of these that it fixed definitely the amount of
the legal-en issue at S3 900 OOO and required il
all be in circulation instead of any part oft being
kept locked up as to be used in controlling
stock speculations and regulating prices in Wa-st.
Another of them was that il restricted bank note
circulation aud checked any further efforts at na-
tiop. SO that the business community could always
know the total amount of currency in circulation.
The third feature of the bill was that II provided for
redistribution of the bank-note currency. taking

surplus circulation and distributing 1T amoug the
Southern and Western States that have not had

DISAGREEMENT IN THE GENEVA AWARD con-
FERENCE
The Conference Committee on the Geneva Award
have thus far failed To reach conclusion. and the
present prospect is that disagreement will be the
only fruit of their labors. Frequent sessions have
been held and yesterday the Committee on the part
of the House presented their ultimatum. which was
that the present bill might include only the actual
uninsured losers by the depredations of the Rebel
cruisers leaving the question as TO other claimants
for future decision. There Is little prospect, now
ever that any action will be taken at the present
session The difficulty seems TO lie in the ADJUST
ment of the claims of the insurance companies
