EoT VERY ENCOURAGING PROSPECT.
Special Dispatch to 7ae 7rs6unA
WAsu1NGToH, D. C., June 2i.-The prospect
OF an early adjournment Is nbw less favorable
than many hare supposed It to be during the
past week. The failure OF the Conference Com
mlttee on the Legislative, Executive, and J,1-
dlcial Appropriation bill to come to any agree
ment indicates long aud bitter struggle be-
tween the two branches over the most impor-
tant bills. The Conference Committee was IN
session FOR several hours to-day, and discussed
the general question Of mutual concessions, but
without going into any at the details OF the
bill. The Senators would not assent to the
compromise proposed by tho members OF tho
House, nor would the latter for moment con-
sent to yield to the claims Of the Senate
In the Senate this afternoon, Mr.. Morrill,, Of
Maine, from bis Committee, reported that the
Committee had been unable to agree 3lr. Ed
munds made the point Of order that the House,
which asked conference, shou1d he the first to
which the report is made, which the Chair (A!r.
Dawcs) sustained, and the report was with
drawn. The report will be presented in the
House on Monday, and it is probable that new
conference will be ordered but it y impossible
to forcsee what the final result will be. Mr.
Randall declares that he
WILL. NOT YIELD
on the Legislative bill, and he is not disposed to
change his mind because OF the approach OF the
new fiscal year. It is probable that the House
Committee viii yield on the Post-oltlce AppIo-
matter to he settled in the open House. It Is
understood that the Conference Committee will
report to both branches the points upon which
they are unable to agree, and that the
matter will be settled by the HonEc

Special DsspatcA to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., June A.--Mn11igan aud
Fisher are expected to arrive here from Boston
early next week. The witnesses In the Kansas
Pacific case arc also to appear here On Monday,
when the Blaine investigation VIII be resumed.
It Is expected that the investigation will pro-
coed in the absence Of Blaine. Mr.. Frye,
B1aine's personal friend, reports the latter ~
very sick, suffering from an attack similar to
the first, though less severe. Proctor Knott
says that Reeds statement in the New York
Herald Is not the whole truth, and that the
Committee have not been able to find him,
although he has been under subpoena for some
days. ...-......-
The rumor is repeated that the President has
decided to nominate Charles B. Farvcif to suc-
coed Treasurer New, whose resignation takes
effect June 80.
THE FocR FER CENTS.
The Syndicate people will make additional e.
forts to secure the passage OF the bill authoTiz-
ing tho Secretary of the Treasury to negotiate
tile ~ per cents on more favorable terms than
predecessors. The entire amount OF per cent
bonds authorized was negotiated and $500 OK, eco
of per cents paid, the saving being S. QUO
year. Owing to the prospect OF more liberal
terms from Congress, the entire negotiation has
been suspended
The report that Postmaster General Jewell
has resigned Is again renewed
THE ARMr APPROPRIATION BILL,
as reported BIZ the Senate, strikes out all the
now legislation looking to salaries Incorporated
in the House bill, and makes the appropriation
for the present force OF the army Is 900 men, In
stead cf the reductions OF the House bill. This
Is another direct challenge to the House.
MORRILL, And BLAINE
It Is said By aone Of Senator Morrtll's friends
that he personally is not friendly to the
political aspirations OF james @. Blaine, and
that Is one Of the strongcSt reasons which has
Of declining the Treasury portfolio. It Is Ger
tain that many Of Morill's friends in tho Senate
have strongly urged him not to accept the Sec
retaryship Tor tho reason that his acceptance
would probably admit Blaine to the Senate,
when Conklhg and Morton are not anxious to
welcome him as q political coworkcr during the
next four years.
On reaching homc last evening the Hon Sam
Randall found a good-sfzed box awaiting him
opened the box and discovered service Of solid
silver, accompanied By letter from 8. s. Cox,
telling him that it was q present from his fct

Special DdspatcA to The 1sfdnne
WASHINGTON, D. C., June A.-1t appears that
Lord Derby has been guilty OF gross parlia-
mentary deception with reference to tho publ
cation Of the correspondence with our Govern
mcnt respecting extraditton. A copy Of the
correspondence which Lord Derby was pleased
to publish has been received here Comparison
with similar publication sent into Congress
By the President June 10 rcveals some singular
and awkward omissions in the papers laid before
Parliament. Lord Derby entirely suppresses
Secretary Flsh's dispatch..of May g, which, 1t
appears from d published telegram Of Mr..
Hoffman to Mr.. Fish, Lord Derby received
on the eth Of June. He suppresses also
telegram from Sir Edward Thornton OF tho 9Th
Of May, to whose contents he al1udes, and =
dispatch from the same OF the 1st OF May, In
which he also bases part Of his argument:
Thornton, dato May 20, he replies to remark
of Mr.. Fish concerning the peculiar wording OF
the English EItradition act, which is contained
in Mr: Fish's dispatch OF May e delivered TO
arises, is this dispatch OF Lord Derby antedated,
aud was it really written after he read Mr..
Fish's dispatch on the 9Th OF Junea Such
suspicdoa
were It not for the suppression Of the dispatches
in this Parliamentary return. II Lord Derby's
dispatch, dated May %, was really sent on TINT
day it ought to have been In Sir Edward Thorn
toms hand by the 10th OF June Mt the fnrtheat-
1t would be interesting to know whether he re-
ceiYed it at that time, or, II later, on what pre-
else day. As notice OF two inquiries on the extra
dition question WAS given in Parliament On
Thursday, 1t is hoped that Lord Derby will be
asked the question why be suppressed so many
important dispatches In bis return, which was
supposed to contain the whole correspondence,
and how he came to answer hr. Fish before he
coulG know what the latter had said.
