MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

WASHINGTON. June 2u.-Mr. MorTisoh
will introduce joint resolution to-mor- |
row extending appropriations for the
present fiscal year to December 10, with |
the understanding that, as the election
of president by the Democrats means
retrenchment, as Is claimed. the senate
shall then agree to the bills. hut that In
the event OF the election OF Republican
president the house shall accede to the
senate amendments. Ii the Democrats
are successful the appropriation bills are
to take effect July first, all salaries and
money used after that time being in at
vance, as it were. This will put the
question. squarely before the people if
the senate passes the resolution, which is
doubtful. Ii they do refuse. the people
will then see that there is no sincerity in
their opposition to the bills.
