New York, May 9.-A Worlds Washing
ton special says Although the proclamation IS
out, still the impression in financial circles is
that there will be an earlier session of Con-
gress than that named Blaine says he does
not see how it can be avoided, and as mem
Der of the Senate Committee on Approprla-
tiors, does not approve of delay. Leading
lawyers who have examined the revised stat
utes say the army cannot be maintained after
July LIST without positive appropriations by
law. Schurz, on the contrary, says that not
dollar will be spent for any other purpose
than that defined by law, and that no con-
tracts will be made in excess of the appropri-
atoms The army, he says, will only be with
out its pay from September LIST until the ap-
preparation is made, which will probably be in
October, and that barring our representatives
at the Paris Exposition and deficiency in the
navy pay, there are no other reasons for the
session.
Washington, May 8-General Butler had
a talk with the President on Sunday and
Monday. The appointment of his nephew
was revoked. The General gets kicks enough,
and il is only fair even for his bitterest oppo-

to take care of his disreputable nephew, and
at least he was anxious to establish him as far
away from civilization as possible.

San Francisco, May 8.-The settlement
of the Lick trust has developed new phase
of difficulty. At meeting of the Society of
California Pioneers last evening resolution,
adopted by the Directors, was read to the
effect that the Board would consent to the
payment of 1886, 900 to John H. Lick in
addition to the sum given to him by the late
James Lick, provided that all the societies
sharing the bounty of the deceased philan-
thpopist should bear their proportion of the
expense These other societies had been led
to believe that the 1886, 900 was to come out
of the residue set apart to be divided equally
between the Academy of Sciences and the
California Pioneers and had filed their answers
to the payment on that hypothesis
The trustees of the Lick estate expected the
two residuary legatees to accept that idea
and to come to-day into Court, SO that the
matter could be closed up. Both residuary
legatee societies, however, now refuse to
consent that all the money required for the
settlement should come out of their purses
exclusively Whether the other Societies
will now consent to pay deduction of IA per
cent. which is the amount needed of the
specific requests given to them, is a question
TO be settled hereafter. There may be some
litigation in the estate yet.
