Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap-
preparation bill reached complete agree
ment this morning, The House conierees
receded from the amendment making an
allowance Of SIPS for each Representative
and Senator for stationery used or con-
sumed during the present extra session.

the House in the Senate amendment
striking out the section concerning the
payment OF the claims OF laborers under

Works.
GOING TO LET IT DIE OUT.
The quorum of Senators in the Demo-
cratic caucus was late assembling to-day
and when obtained Senator Mcdonald
moved to adjourn, subject to call OF the
Chair.
Without debate the motion was carried.
The smallness OF the attendance at the
meeting to-day, and the promptitude with
which an adjournment sine die was or
dered as soon as the quorum assembled,
are considered an indicative desire on the
part Of large majority OF the Democratic
Senators to allow the whole subject OF yes
terday's controversy to die out without
any further consideration in caucus.

judicial expenses appropriation bill reach

cur any liability under any OF the provis-
ions OF title twenty-six OF the Revised
Statutes, authorizing the appointment or
payment of general or special Deputy
htarshals for service on election days, un-
til an appropriation sufficient to meet
