WASHINGTON.
Caucus of Senators.

Washington, June 30. The republican Senators
held caucus from ten o'clock to noon, to-day, in
regard to the condition of most of the appropria-
ton bills and the continued dead lock with the
House. The subject was discussed hy a large
number Of Senators, but the caucds adjo"rned
without reaching decision.
Legislative.
The adjustment of the differences between the
two houses respecting the pending general appro.
priation bills is considered by all parties ques-
ton of time and may possibly be nearly consum-
mated tomorrow. The salary or compensation
features are the main points at issue. Therefore
these points settled in one bill would remove SIM
liar obstacles in the way Of others, with the ex-
cepion of the Indian appropriation bill where
the difficulty is in the provision of the House for
the transfer of the Indian bureau from the Interior
to the War Department.
ApprehensiOns Removed.
The two houses having passed joint resolu-
ton making temporary provisions for carrying on
the government, the apprehensions of embarrass-
ment by the delay to pass the general appropria-
ton bills are entirely removed.
Personal.
report has been circulated to-day that Mr..
Pratt will retire from the position of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, but Mr.. Pratt has not indi-
Gated any such intention.

The indications at the close of business at the
Treasury, tonight are that the debt statement,
to be issued tomorrow, will show reduction
ling the month of over three millions. The re-
ductlon for the same month last year was 81 ,43l,-

ariiy the duties of Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t

other evening to commit suicide. She took
dose of laudanum, sufficiently large for the pur-
pose, to accomplish her object, but she was saved

lady said she had no friends any one to care for
her, and didn't want to live. She was employed
in the mill of the Messrs Srrague, and had good
wages.

that the Kennebec Land 4 Lumber Company, at
their splendid mill in Wiscasset, on Thursday
probably did the largest days saving of spruce

lumber,) the gang cutting 62,G6S feet, and the
rotary 50, 500 feet of English deal and boards; the
total amount being 100 Al feet. besides short
