WASHINGTON, May, 90 The House
substitute for the currency bill was re.
jected; also the Senate substitute.
The whole matter was sent to q con.
ference committee. The bill for the
reduction OF the army was discussed,
and the previous question seconded.
1t will be voted on tomorrow.
The Senate rejected bill to estab.
lish the Territory of Pembina, bv a
vote of 20 nays to 10 yeas. An amend.
ment by Sergeant. to confer the right
OF suffrage upon women in the pro-
posed new territory, led to lengthy
discussion. and was finally defeated by
u vote Of q nays to II yeas. The
military academy appropriation bill
will be finished tom borrow.
It is understood. in we'll Informed
circles. that the Civil Rights Bill is
dead for this session. TIE influence
of the President is supposed to be
against the bill.
The Star says: ut is quite probable
that the bill which passed the House
some time ago, for the payment of the
awards OF the Southern Claims Com
mission. will not be- acted upon by the
Senate during this session of Con-
gress, even If it be reported from the
Committee on Claims, which may be
considered doubtful, owing to the near
approach of the close of the session"
One of the most ungenerons features Of
this delay is. that most of the clnim-
