natures of the conforees, it was ascertaned that
some of them had new amendments to submit, ana
the bill will be delayed another day. The Confer
ence Committee on the Legislative bill spent the
entire time at their meeting to-day in discussing dr
ferent propositions for agreement, but IN reality
made no visible progress on the bill. Propositions
were submitted looking to entire readjuStment OF
some portions of the bill, which, if agreed to- VIII
require a week or ten days TO prepare the bill for
action. Altogether the outlook is not SO favorable
for a satisfactory termination of the difference be-
