lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON June 22.-The Senate amendments TO
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill occupied the time
of the House for the greater part of the days ses
sion. There were 120 of these amendments, at which
the House went seridtim, disposing of them one by
one until two thirds of them were out OF the way
and then the remainder were got nd OF In a sum
mary manner by being non-concurred In IN bulk,
and sent to Conference Committee. VI
those on which regular action was taken, the
one that gave rise to most discussion was small
item of $4,000 to aid the Little Sisters of the Poor
TO complete the erection of their Home for the Aged
in the District of Columbia. An adverse recon-
mendatiOn had been made by the Committee on
Anpropriations, and Mr. Garfield, its Chairman, JUS
tilted that recommendation on the ground that the
organization was purely sectarian, no other than
Catholic woman being eligible to membership IN
the Society. The Senate amendment was strongly
urced bv +. r. Hoar. Gen. Butler, and Mr. Parker of
Missouri the latter two speaking eloquently OF
tbe self-sacrifcing efforts of the wlitebOnneted
nuns in the hospitals and on the battle
fields of the late war, and imputing to
Can Garfield sort of religious prejudice.
Cen. Garfield had all he could do to defend himself
against this flank movement. He disclalmed any
thing like sectaran bias, and appealed to his public
and private life In contradiction Of such an imputa-
tion. While he was thus defending himself, how
ever he had in some measure TO neglect the MAN
pont of contest, and the consequence was that
the Little Sisters Of the Poor were awarded their
S25 900 bv the very decisive vote of 1Oi to 43.
As TO other matters in the Sundry Civil bill, they
may be briefly summed up as follows: An increase
Of the salaries of the Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. the Solicitor of the Treasury, and the
Commissioner of Customs TO $500, was non-con-
CURED in The items of $4,000 for an equestrian
statue of Gen. Nathaniel Green, and OF $4,000
for works of art for the Capitol were also non-con-
Cured in The item of S25,OOO for expenses of the
observation of the transit of Venus was agreed to,
and so was the large appropriation OF Sl3OOoO for
the District of Columbia to pay the interest ON It's
bonds. the small debts to its employees and workmen,
and current expenses. with the condition, however
that the General Government is to be credited with
| this sum in future adjustments. An effort on the
part of g. F. Hoar to have anttem of $1,000 voted to
Gen O. o. Howard to defray the expenses of his de-
tense before the military court of inquiry failed to
| get the necessary twothirds majority.

WASHINGTON June 22.-The President was oeset
~ the most prominent of his supporters during the
entire dav for the purpose of learning his intentions
with reference TO the Commissioners under the new
law for the government of the District Late TINS
evening he Informed Speaker Blaine and other
friends that he should not appoint the Commissions
ers until after the adjournment of Congress
Very few appointment during the present session
have excited so much interest IN the lobby Before
the hour Of meeting to-day, the corridors around
the Senate Chamber were thronged with residents
of the District and temporary sojourners III wash
ington, who were engaged in the most earnest dis
cussion of all possible candidates. The members and
friends of the old District Ring were very positive that
Shepherd would head the Commission and professed
to have assurances from members of the Cabinet 10
sustain them in their assertions. Careful inquiries
disclosed the fact that one or two members OF the
Cabinet were strongly urging that Mr.. Shep-
herd should not be excluded from the
Comriss,ou while on the other hand
otbors of the Presidents constitutional
advisers were equally earnest in adv'e:%g that he
should not lay himself open to the severe criticism
which such action wouid lie sure to BRING
During the day several rumors were set alioat
that the names Of the Commissioners had been an-
nouuced One Of the first that was at all credlted
and which for a short time caused great excitement
especially in the House was said to come from
Senator from South Carolina, and named as the
temporary government Of the District, Shepherd
ex-A,sstant Secretary OF the Treasury Sawyer
and Mr.. Tullock. This report was very soon
contIadctod, but the general talk when
if caused in the House disclosed the temper OF that
body beyond question. Had it been for moment
believed bv Representatives that Shepherd was to
be on the Commission, the House, which
was at work on the Sundry Civil Approprla-
ton bill, would have struck out of 1t
the appropriation of S13)o0OO for District purposes
which that bill contains. During the afternoon
several Senators called on the President and as
sured hin that ii would be nothing short of suicidal
TO put Shepherd on this Commission. and that in
any event he could not bc confirmed by the Senate
The general impression tonight Is that the men Sc
lected will be entirely free from all connection with
