CoNKL1NG AND BURNSIDE.
There is the best of authority for saying that
the published statements of reconciliation
between Senators Conkling and Burnside are
without foundation, and upon the same au-
thorlty it can be stated Gen. Burnside has
made no retractions of anything said by him in
executive session.
THE LEGISLATIVE BILL.
The Senate committee on appropriations to-
night completed consideration of the legisla-
tive executive and judicial appropriation bill
and will report it to the Senate with numerous
amendments, the purposed effect of which is to
make the bill substantially conform to the cor
responding bill last session as it finally became
a law. The committee strike out the House
sections which provide for repeating the fed
eral election law and test oath requirement of
the revised statutes, and the House provision
for changes in the law concerning the method
of drawing jurors is likewise omitted. The
committee also strike out the clause by
which the House proposes to consolidate the
various scientific surveys of territories.

tion The committee concluded their cxamina-
ton into the affair at their meeting to-day and

EXTRA SESSION.
The committee of conference on the army ap-
preparation bill, consisting of Senators Blaine,
Allison and Withers and Representatives
Hewitt, of New York, Sparks and Foster held
prolonged session tonight and adjourned at
very late hour until tomorrow afternoon,
without arriving at any agreement or
feeling encouraged to expect any. In
the opinion of the best informed
members of the appropriations committees of
both houses an extra session is.1op inevitable.
and the prospects are that not only one or two,
but probably all the unfinished appropriation
bills will go over together. This will, of course,
necessitate the convening of the next Congress
at an early date, instead Of in the fall, as has
been contemplated in the event of the failure
of only one of the bills
