mittee on Ways and Means, reported |
bill amending the bill admitting free o
duty goods for the International ExpOsi
tion, 80 NJ to admit the sale and delivery
during the exhibition OF goods, warei
and merchandise heretofore imported
and now in the exhibition buildings
subject to such additional fegulationl
necessary to,the security OF the revenue
as the Secretary Of the Treasury may de
eide, and declaring the stock Of each ex'

full duties. Passed. ., ..
Mr.. Singleton, from the Conference
Committee on the Diplomatic and Con
sular Appropriation Bill, reported that
the committee had not yet been able tc
agree. He related the history Of the bill
and Of the several conferences, and said
that while tho first conference on the
part Of The Senate said they would mol
make point as TO the change Of the law
by the BILL, the last declared their de,
termination not 10 allow such change ol
the law under any circumstances what
ever. He declared that the House could
not 90 before the country and Justify IL
action in that regard. The conclusion ir
the public mind would be that the actor
OF the Senate was to allow large sums o.
money to be thrown into the hands o.
consular and Diplomatic agents abroad
and to be expended for electioneering
purposes. Retrenchment in public ex,
penditures was an absolute necessity, and
il was on that that the House was In
sistinp. but the Senate was trying to pre-
vent Il and for that il would be held &C,
countabIe 10 the country.
