but slight opportunities 70 get acquainted
with the race course, and as the river
has fallen foot within a few DAYS; u Is

there has been decided revulsion OF feeling

FAILURE OF LAST NIGHTS CONFERENCE
PLAN TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT RUN

The conference on the legislative appro-
priation bill, last night, resulted as all pre-
vious ones had, in a failure to reconcile the
differences between the two Houses. Vita

would have surrounded the government b al

the House, to-day, passed bill, reported
from the appropriation committee, allowing
each department of the government 10 use
the uEexpen6ed balances on hand for ten
days from and after June 3lst. Mr.. Rladall
said he thought by the end OF that time all
OF the appropriation bills will have been
passed. He was inJerrogated as 10 whether
The departments had unexpended balances
from which TO draw, and he replied that the
Appropriation Committee had inquired into
that subject, and were satisfied each of tue u

Holman said the Pos Office department had
an unexpended balance of Sl000,010. The
naval bill passed yesterday afternoon. This

THE SITUATION ON THE SENATE SIDE.
Strange to say no conference committees
on the different appropriation bills met to-
day. A caucus of republican Senators, last
ing two hours, was held this morning on the
condition of the appropriation bills. The
subject was discussed by number OF Sena-
tois, but the caucus adjourned without COM
standing being on adjournment that the
course of the majority in the Senate would
be governed by the action of the House dur
ing the day.
At 1870 O'Clock p. M. the Senate took a re-.
cess, and the republican members again
went into caucus. There was evidently an
uneasy feeling in regard to the serious con
dillon OF affairs, but as rule Senators ex-
pressed themselves determined to resist the
wholesale reductions proposed by the House
