Mr.. Randall, from the conference com.
mittee on executive, legislative and judi
cial appropriation bill, reported that the
committee had come to no conclusion
thereon. He explained that after contest
ing and examining paragraph after para
graph the committee had come to an agree
ment on all matters except two-the eaary
of the president and the salaries of mem.
bers of the house. The conferees were un.
willing TO yield either, and the senate man.
ayers had declared their fixed intention moi
to yield. He recounted the facts in con-
nection with the proposed reduction of sal
aries of the president and of members OF
congress. AS to the question of the presi-
dents salary, the senate conferees had
claimed that to reduce it in an appropri-
alton bill after the presidents vetoing it in
a separate bill was a species of coercion. 1t
had been, therefore, agreed that these
questions of salaries should be submitted
to the two houses.
MIR. Lord asked Mr.. Randall whether
there was any probability of an agreement
If there was further conference.
Mr.. Randall expressed his conviction
that the determination of the Senate was
fixed and unalterable. The responsibility
YVES on the Senate and the Senate was will
ing to assume it.
Mr.. Morrison, another member of the
conference committee, said that the house
conferees had pressed their views to the
very extremity of right AM duty. he
knew of 10 way to compel the senate to
concur in the opinion of the house. One
result of an agre ment would be a dis
charge of 765 en- ployees, an annua' saving
of 1,500,000 below the amount insisted on
by the senate. That at lees, was some
thing.
Mr.. Lord offered the following preamb c
and resolution:

agreement.
The resolution was agreed 10 ard the
same conference committee re-appointed.
Mr.. Randall offered resolution for the
employment Of counsel to defend the
speaker and officers of the house in the suit
brought against them by Halet Kilburn
adopted. On motion of Mr.. Lawrence the
senate amendments to the bill regulating
the partition of real estate in the District
of Columbia were non-concurred in, and
committee on conference was appoined
consisting of Messrs. Lawrence, Lord and
Hoar.
The speaker laid before the house petit
tion from several citizens of Washington,
asking for further investigation into thc
management of the government hospital
for insane; referred to the committee OIL
expenditures in the interior department.
Mr.. Bland demanded to know when he
should have the opportunity of making The
necessary parliamentary motion that would
put a stop to the ''bloody shirt poitica
humbug in debate in which the country
had no interest whatever" but he wal
called to order by the speaker TIKI
house then adjourned.
