WASHINGTON, July 17.-The appropria-
tion bills are still in an unsettled condition
with the prospect of favorable adjustment
farther away than on Saturday. The Sud
day civil bill was fixed up on Friday last in
conference, and was supposed to be ready
for reporting both houses. To-day, how
ever, the bill was taken up again and new
propositions entertained, which will require
at least one more day for adjustment if it
does not delay the bill much longer time.
The same thing has occurred to the Army
Bill. The conference agreed upon a repor!
on Saturday, and it was written ont to-day,
when it was ready for the signature OF the
conferees it was ascertained that some OF
them had new amendments to submit, and
the bill will be delayed another day, The
conference on the legislative bill spent the
entire time, at their meeting to-day in dis
cussing different propositions for agreement
but in reality made no visible progress. Prop
ositiens were submitted looking to an entire
readjustment of some portions of the bill
which If agreed to will require a week or
ten days to prepare the bill for action. Al
together the outlook is not so favorable for
a satisfactory termination to the difference
between the Houses as when the adjourn
ment took place on Saturday.

CAPTAIN E. NITTENG Err.
A Costume syith a History.


This gentleman is now spending a shori
time in our city. He has, since his advent,
attracted much attention by his eccentric
dress, being suit made of Antelope skins.
However strange the costume may seem, it
is not without history. In conversation
with the Captain, it was asccrtained that
the coat, which is manufactured of bleached
Antelope skin, was made by an Indian
squaw of the Cherokee Nation, for the
chief, Thomonius, to be used as dress
coat. 1t is very elaborately trimmed, and
at once strikes the beholler as piece OF
Indian workmanship. The pants and vest
were made by the Warm Spring Indians,
and worn by an Indian warrior, named
Thaufenius, who was shot while defending
an United States soldier, in the late Modoc
war. The pants bear the marks Of six bull
let shots, and one saber cash. The suit al
though looking as though it would be
very warm in summer, is quite the reverse,
and equally as cool as any material that
could be worn.
The captain is now engaged here selling
a razor paste, used for sharpening them
which is highly spoken Of. 1t is composed
of pulverised quartz, and other ingredients.
He has received seven gold medals at ex-
hibitions, and no doubt 1t is useful and
valuable article. Captain Nittenger is from
San Francisco, California, and has been
spending some weeks at the Centennial.

THE B4YARD CLUB.
Meeting Last Eccnin0.

S~Ss'"y ~~'s"e ASSNs'sssUs
A large end enthusiastic Democratic
meeting was held last night at the club
room, Seventh and Spruce streets.
After calling Mr.. F. Fernan, the Vice
President, to the chair, and Mr.. Edward
sculley as Secretary, The minutes of the
last meeting were read and adopted.
The question arose as to the name of the
club. There appeared to be a disposition
to change the name to Tilden and Hen
dicks, but after remarks by few members
it was unanimously decided to retain the
name of Bayard.
The purpose of the club was explained
by Mr.. Hettrck who declared It's
principles to be Democratic and
that it was now ready to work for the
Democratic candidates.
The Committee on Finance was appointed
as follows Mr. Hettrick John Hayden, j
Lafferty, j. McEwe}l aud Edward Scully.
The Bayarl Club bids fair to be strong
and influential body of men as the room
was filled and large number put theiI
names Oh the roll. If all the wards were
to organize such bodies of men success fI
| this city would be easily obtained.

The Latest From the Eastern War

CoNsTANTINcPLE, July 1.-THE Gov
ernor General Of Sterzegovina telegraphs
from Mostar as follows: All bulletins
respecting the pretended insurgent
victories in Herzegomi are false, there
has been no engagement except the combat
sustained by Selin Pacha in the defiles OF
Hallan which reported on the 18th inst,
the Montenegrins who are operating on the
mountains and deserted villages have not
approached the positions where the impe-
rial troops are concentrated. The reported
capture of Gatzko, HelelS, stolatz and Nev-
esinge is pure invention. On the l4th
lust company of Turkish troops from Kick
fell into an ambuscade of the Insurgents
under General Penlovics. They suffered
great loss while sustaining the attack OF the
superior forces until the arrival OF rein
forcements when the insurgents retreated.

AS this takes away all the disturbing

the Fifth Cavalry, under Colonel Merritt, to

The best information can get from my
front is that the Sioux have three fighting
men to my one. Although have no doubt
of my ability to whip them with my present
force, the victory would likely be one barren
of results, and so have thought it better
to defer the attack until can get the Fiji

crushing blow.
The hostile Indians are, according to my
advices, encamped on the Little Horn, neal
