SETTLING the DETAILS.
A DEMOCRATICCO CCONsULTATION A.
TO THE FORM OF THE NEW JU-
DIC1AL BILL.

THE HOUSE VOTES DOWN A PROPOSE
TON TO ADJOURN WITHOUT PASSING
THE SUPPLY BILLS.
Special 10 the World.
WASHINGTON, June 24.--lt naturally
takes little time for a comparison of
views and for the private discussion OF
the form which the n cessary legislation
relative to the courts shall assume in Or
der that the sest course of action may he
adopted by the msjority in Congress.
This private discr'si sion has occupied the
day aud the proceedings of the two b uses
| OF Congress, which were comparatively
br ct. are OF relatively slight importance
as they furnish no indication of what Is
| to be done previous to the final adjourn
ment, which cannot be long delayed.
There have been many rumOrs about to-
day of dlssensiOns in the councils of the
majority, but such rumors have really
very little foundation. There Is q gen
eral disposition among the Dem Gratis In
both houses towards harmony and wise
programme of action, and 1t is probable
that tomorrow general understanding
will be arrived at.
1t was thought best in the Senate to
reconmit the resolution for an adjourn
ment on Wednesday to the Committee
on Appropriations until some plan OF &C.
tion shall be agreed upon. The Repub-
lican Senators, under the lead of Mr.. In
gals, sought to force some action to-day
by moving the Judicial Expenses Appro-
preparation bill, minus the sections OBJ
noxious to the. President, as an amend
mendment to bill providing for the pay
of employees of the Senate for a specifi-
ed time after adjournment. Mr.. Wal
lace at once moved to add the sections OF
the bill relative to deputy Inarshals, and
as there were only about fifteen Republi-
cans Senators present he had no Difficult
ty in carrying his motion. lie also
moved to add the other section omitted
by NJ. ingalls, relative to jurors, and
pending that motion an adjournment was
carried. In the House member from
Tennessee, Mr.. House, moved a resolu
tion for an adjournment sine die to-mor
row evening. This he did on his owl
individual responsibility, but the Green
, back members and a considerable mum
, ber of Democratic members also votet
! with the Republicans against it and tn,
resolution was beaten by a majority o
22.
In the meantime the joint advisor
caucus committee assembled in the room
of the Senate Judiciary Committee an,
, discussed the various plans of actio
that had been proposed. Nothing wa
finally determined, but another meetin
will be held tomorrow at which it
v very probable that some decision will b
reached. The main question to be d.
u cided seems to be whether the HOus
i Committee on Appropriations shall re
y port the Judicial Expenses bill just as
h was vetoed and ask the House to pass
). in that form, or whether the bill sha
u be brought in with the second sectiO
q omitted and no appropriation for deput
II marsha's S, and provision be made in seI
arate bill for deputy marsllals with ii
same restrictions which were attache
in the vetoed bill. The Democrat
& members Of the Appropriations Commi
:, ~ tee would prefer to report the bill in III
!. same form in which it passed befol
j. leaving it to the Senate to strike out IL
6 section relative to deputy marshals,
at the majority in that body choose to ,
W so.
@ In that case, or in fact If a separn
n bill for deputy marshals wee broug
lu DdNHUhJ thO iVohuCub WouN
. the bill providing for carrying on 3
p. courts and revising the laws relative
jurors and test oaths, and Congre
would then adjourn. 1t is not believ
~ that the President would call now 3,
~ sion simply to secure an appropriate
~ for the marshals. Which ever cour
=. .. may he adopted the fatal result W
p. probably be the sams, but iJ Is very e
