INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILI--The committee
of conference on the Iudian appropriation bill

ssna1s '01seS sas the sene to 2ecsdd
from its amendment and that a clause
be inserted In the bill explicitly providing that
mo part of the appropriations made by this
act shall be used for the payment of salaries or
expenses of the Indian commissioners provided
for by section 2,3O9 of the Revised Statutes"

District Attorney Spring requested the

Bheriffs, was ushered through the crowded
courtroom to the inside of the bar. He
was dressed in neat suit of black, and his
lace, except light mustache, was clean

The light step and bold, smiling coun.
tenance indicated to the close observer q

Impress themselves at first glance. The
counsel for the State announced himself
not ready. and applied for postponement
Gntil next Monday to await the return OF 9
material witness from the Chicago Conven

fendant's counsel resisted the application
to postpone and insisted on an immediate
trial or continuance for the term. The
Court intimated an intention to reset th,

Judgment, which has been argued and de

The Iron Manufacturers met yesterday
at Pittsburg and adopted the following
resolut on:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Convention that those Pittsburg manufac-
turels desiring to run, and sign the boilers
scale, be permitted to do so."
The scale referred to is SIS so per ton, at
So so card rate or lower. and was presented
by boilers June 1st, the time agreed upon
for signing the yearly scale. The Cincin-
natl manufacturers upon learning of this
action concluded to do the same, and as
soon as they sign the scale their men will
20 to work, which will be shortly. This
action is just in the nick of time, as the
manufacturers of this city who use iron to
large extent were about out, and would
have had to close if the mills had not done
as they did.
