THREE WAYS OF GETTING OUT OF THE WOODS
A canvass Of the House Of Representa-
tives to-day, Immediately after the read
ing Of the Presidents message vetoing
the bill making appropriations for the
Judicial expenses Of the Government, de-
veloped the fact that there were three
distinct propositions entertained by q
majority, as the most practicable to be
pursued. The one having apparently the
largest number OF supporters, contenl-
plated resolution fixing o time for i'd
ournment sine die, and that another bill,
identicalin its provisions with the vetoed
measure, be passed and sent to the ,PreSi-
dent and II he should again return it with
out his approval, adjourn and permit the
bill to fail.
| A second proposition was to pass a joint
resolution extending until next January
the appropriations on the basis Of the
present act providing for judicial ex-
penses, with the proviso that no portion
ot the money thus appropriated shall be
used for the payment OF deputy marshals
or supervisors Of elections, and in the
event OF the non.approval OF the Presi.
dent to adjourn sine die, and II he should
issue proclamation reCOnvening Con-
gress TO repeat this action.
The third proposition favors an djourn-
ment without further attempt to meet tho
views OF the executive. This line OF aC-
ton was not iavorably entertained but by
few.
The Democratic party Of tho House,
however, appear to stand as a unit against
supporting any bill which will permit the
continuance OF Deputy Marshas and Su.
pervisors OF Elections.
A Cabinet officer to-day, in discussing
the situation with q member OF the House,
said that il the majority should again pass
a bill similar 10 the one just vetoed the
President would return it without his sig
nature, and II Congress should adjourn he
would call them together again next day,
but II they should a third time send him
the bill and adjourn he would not recon
yene them, and thus throw the response
biIIty OF closing the Courts on the Demo
cratic party.
REPUBLICAN, CONFERENCE.
A conference OF leading Republicans
was held during the session OF the House
to-day, for the purpose Of discussing with
view to harmOnizing the action OF thG
minority in case a resolution providing fol
adjournment siiR die should be INTRODUCED
before the judicial appropriation bill j
finally disposed OF. The conference wa,
. very brief and it was decided that the Re
publican members should oppose any
such resolution by voting against it, and
that they should pursue the same cours

judicial expenses should be made, but il
