WAsHINGToN, June 2i.-The report
of the committee of conference on the
miscellaneous appropriation bill hav-
ing been agreed to by both houses,
makes the following settlement of dis
puted points: The house agrees to the
senate amendment advancing one mil
lion three hundred thousand dollars to
the district of Columbia for the pay
ment of the July interest on the
bonded debt, and the payment of the
employees of the district government,
etc., but II proviso is inserted that sew
enty-tive thousand dollars of this sum
shall be reserved for the payment of
the laborers employed by the board
of public works.

others action regarding the civil

tributing political documents and petit
tions urging the restoration of the
empire.

successfully reject all constitutional
bills. The republicans manifest JOY
over the prospects, believing that Il
dissolution will be the inevitable re-
suit.

postponement of the bills until winter
as none ofthem can be adopted, or the
intervention of President Mcmahon by
means of a message holding the as
sembly responsible for the failure to de
fine the powers of the executive.
