AslfSaroN, May 9.-The report OF
th3'{ba5e democratic caucus recommend
i1r {Ke n6bmission Of the sixth section
e7ihe Army bill TO the President = an
ESs.ll,,1a,;t r,easr,re was made this af-
614lSfjn 70 the respective caucus meet
fk1k n either wing of the Capitol. Al
6 Hetnafe side il was received quietly, II
m kItocetber complacently, and was
o6uksd. But In the House caucus u
e1icountered heated opposition that Tor
4 fine led to the belief thse the fat was
3l5@3 the Are again, and that no c0mpro-
mr. between Congress and the Execu-
~ could be reached any time this side
6f'the dog days.
TTbe trouble is thst during the interval
6ince the veto went into Congress many
6fthe members received from their Bour-
Eon constituents urging them TO stick In
Melr opposition to any compromise or
concession, and the fear Of being looked
mon as having backed down from the
contest with the President and the repub-
licans has stimulated these members
Win fresh zeal and determination to op
pose any different policy from the one
originally agreed upon. When the con-
servative democrats In the caucus saw
this tempest they were shrewd enough
not to DEFY or fiRht II. They made the
point that there was no hurry about the
bntiness in hand and that 1t was just a.
well to 60 slowly and ascertain what
was the wisest course to follow. Thii
emollient policy was . great surprise te
the Bourbons, whose first proposition was
to reject the report of the Joint Commit.
Tee altogether. As they had the majori'
" of the caucus 1t would have been easy
for them to have obstructed the plan o
the conservatives by resolution to thi'
effect. But the latter humored then
with 30 much adroitness that the repor
-was simply recommitted with instruction
10 the committee to ascertain If bette
-methbd or measure than the Compromis'
ibiil'could be had.
~ In the Senate caucus the understanding
reached was a. follows:
- Fyyst--The sixth section Of the Arm,
ieAl Is 70 60 to the President - . separst
bill.
Second-No matter what the Presiden
InSy do with the Sixth Session bill th
Legislative bill is to 60 next in substan
..tislly it, present shape that is with tn
,peseral riders repeating the test oath an
The supervisors and deputy marshal
iclauses OF the Revised Statutes.
~ Ensfd--That, II the Legislative bill
xG1uould be vetoed, It's riders shall be take
s.out and they shall be sent - indepcr
Gent propositions to the President, tn
expectation being that he will sign th
repeal Of the test oath law.
i E0urth-When the Executive pleasuF
ahas been expressed as to all these severs
independeut propositions a caucus sha
abe'cAlled TO determine whether, in eat
one or more Of them shall have been "
atoed, Congress shall pass a new pair I
Army and Legislative bills pure and sin
pie or adopt Joint resolution continuin
for six months the appropriations for Il
army and for Congress,th Executive al
the Judiciary, on the basis Of the appr
sprialions for the current fiscal year.
