CAPITAL ECHOES. !.
Probable Fate Of the Appropriation Bills.

WARRINGTON, June 20.-After the Cabinet
meeting to-day It was announced that the
President would sign the legislative bill, but
as the judicial bill had been somewhat
amended On its final passage he could not say
reached the President. 1t is understood that
the army bill will be signed.
THE LETTER CARRIERS LOSE THEIR ADVANCE.
The Senate Committee ON Appropriations
to-day reported the postofffce bill, with seve-
raj amendments. The only change OF tm-
portanee was the striking out OF the section
Increasing the pay Of letter-carriers to $1,000
year.
NO AGREEMENT YET REACHED REGARDING
ADJOURNMENT.
The Senate Appropriations Committee this
morning reported to the Senate that as mat
ters now stood 1t was impossible for the Com
mtttee to make any report on the House adj
ionrnment resolution. Mr.. Davis said II the
Republican members would allow them q
chance, however, they could soon reach q
conclusion.
THE REFRIGERATING PROCESS FOR PURPOSES
OF DIsINFEcTIoN.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day the report
and Recommendations OF the National Board
OF Health, especially that portion OF the re-
port relating to the Gamgee refrigerating
ship, was discussed. The matter was not
finally determined, but the sense OF the meet
Ing was that the board should report some
more specific plan In regard to the freezing
out business before Its object can be carried
into effect under the law.
THE CONDITION OF THE VARIOUS APPRoPRI-
ALTON BILLS.
The legislative appropriation bill WAS sent
to the President this afternoon. The army
bill will be disposed Of some time tonight,
and as 1t was not amended 1t will not have to
go to the House again. 1t will, therefore. be
| sent to the President rs soon as IL Can be en-
rolled tomorrow. The Senate has not vet
| bill. It is generally conceded that the legis.
lative and army bills will be signed. While
the army bill Is Objectionable In some par
ticulars, these Objectionable features are
not OF such q character that the
President deems L bis duty 70 yeto II; i
vetoed. The statement, however, that the
veto message has been prepared Is incorrect
The President thoroughly understands the
bill as it passed the House and as it was fixed
has no doubt formulated the views he will In.
fuse ID his message, he has not yet put them
i on paper. 1t is said he will take the view ad
vanced by Mr.. Garfield In his speech, that thu
bill does not alter stai ute, but seeks 70 at
taen a. penalty 70 sne enforcement OF the stat
ute. While the bill might be 50 construed as Il
permit the President to appoint depaty mar
shats and supervisors yet it Is Thought thai
It would be too dangerous to run the risk o
I impeachment especially as the right TO Inn
peach rests with The Presidents political op
ponents.
u Congress adjourns without passing tina
bill. the President will call another extra SEES
sion Immediately. When the army bill wa.
first brought up for consideration, numbe
OF amendments were offered by the commit
tee. Their adoption would have neeessitate
the sending OF the bill back to the House, an
thence the Democrats changed their tactic
