1t is the general opinion that even if
Congress adjourns this week it will not
be until the latter part. The conference
committee on the legislative. executive
and judiciary appropriation bill will
soon coms to an agreement. The House
will, it is said. recede ultimately from
its proposition to transfer the Indian
Bureau to the War Department. SO that
the only bill about which there is con-
templated tronble is the consular and
diplomatic. no effective step having
bsen taken to reconcile the existing diff
6cnltiss between the two houses; but If
Congress were. apart from this, ready
to adjourn, no one seems to doubt that
an accommodation would be readily eff
fected.
