COLUMBIA, June 6.-The report OF the
conference committee, appointed to adjust
the differences between the two houses,
relative to the appropriation bill, was
adopted by the House and Senate TO day

made in the appropriation bill for the
payment OF the interest on the public
debt, yet the levy is made aud specifically
appropriated for that purpose in the
supply bill. The result is virtually the
same.
a concurrent resolution was passed
by both Houses to-day declaring tho seat
oil Judge L. d. Carpenter vacant, on the

PuddlcrS OUTLOOK at Pittsburgh.

DNpAlch VI ltslGsuA.s
While it appears evident that in most
OF the iron mills in this city and vicinity,
last years schedule for boiling according
to card rateS will be held, yet there are
some firms who are not in much OF a
hurry to agree, US they either have no
pressing orders or have u large stock Of
muck bar on hand. Among the mills
standing idle are those Of Zug & Co.,
Chess. Smythe 4 Co., Lindsay 4 Nc.
Cutcheon and J. Painter 4 Son. The
trouble was amicabIy arranged at the
Clinton Mills yesterday, and tae puddlers
went 10 work last night as usual.
MessrS. Lewis, Oliver & Phillips
signed the contract wanted, on
Monday, and all was supposed to he
satisfactory for time when the boilers
demanded lump coal instead of slack as
fuel after yesterday. During the evening
the firm ordered the bars pulled, and
when the men came on, they found the
furnaces cold. What the result will be
cannot at present be predicted. It is un.
ders;ood that each will act ior itself in
the matter. A general meeting OF the
puddlers will be held on Saturday alter
noon, when they will, in all probability,
settle upon definite plan Of operations.
4 prominent member Of the Boilers
Union states that no advance will be
asked on last years rates and no reduc.
tiOn will be accepted. He says that in no
event will the puddlers sign the scale for
six months term. The manufacturers
do not exhibit much feeling In the matter.
The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette says
in some OF the mills, after the contract
had been renewed, the puddlers gave no.
tice that they must have better quality
Of fuel, coal instead OF slack, or they
would not work. As consequence, work
was promptly suspended, on the part Of
the mill owners, in two instances, so far
as the pudding departments we're con-
cernCd. Some fonr or FIVE mills are not
running at present, but the impression is
that the suspension will be but temporary.

WASHINGTON, June G.--Eugene Schuy.
Ter, Consul General nt Constantinople
writes to the State department that the
public debt Of Turkey amounts to S027,-
100000, the annual interest Of which,
S65,OO0,000, is more than half the total
revenue of the Empire. The last annual
budget published, that Of March, 1876,
showed a deficit OF S2l,OOOOOO.
Unless great reform is speedily nitro.
duced into Turkey and care given to
the development OF its natural resources,
not even the present amount OF taxes
can long be raised. There will he an ad.
ditional deficit each year, and as Turkey
henceforth will be precluded from Dor.
rowing money outside, the financial ruin
OF the country seems inevitable.
